-Double-

My friend Set and I are at the same stage of dating. Phone numbers swapped by friends, phone conversations that didn't kill anyone's enthusiasm, and first in-person dates that didn't spark, but didn't suck, either. So we've decided to join forces and double-date this Thursday.

We both took a shine to this plan immediately, but couldn't resist playing devil's advocate.

Set: What if they crush on each other?

Benedict: Very Anais Nin of them if they did, but worth the risk.
What if either one of us dislikes the other's date?

Set: [pause] I guess we talk about it later, in private.
What if either one of them dislikes one of us?

Benedict:

Set:

Benedict and Set: F@$% 'em.

Update: We were more prescient than we knew. Both our dates canceled, mine politely, and Set's tried to lure her into a game of text message cryptograms. He may be having second thoughts by now, because he can't keep up with her.
