44. Better off with E-mail？ P.295

Steve is chatting with his sister, Diana.

S： Gee, Diana, you're always at home. Don't you have any friends to go out with？

D： Sure, I do. But all my friends are either out shopping or they're boring. And you know I hate shopping.

S： Get a boyfriend. I'm sure you won't be bored then.

D： Actually, I want to meet some interesting guys but I don't know how to.

S： Why don't you try E-mail？ You might get lucky.

D： I don't think so. Besides, dating through e-mail is neither personal nor romantic. Why don't you introduce

me to some of your friends？

S： Why didn't I think of that？ How about my best friend, Fred？

D： Uh… maybe I'll be better off with e-mail.
