"I've never been to one of those trendy places before. I see them every now and then but I never go in." Joe said. "Not that I don't like them or anything, but I guess I just never thought about it."

He was going to have to change that mindset if he was hanging out with Roxie.

Joe's experience with women was very, very limited so he didn't know how to read signs and wasn't very conscious of what signals he was sending. But he figured the best way for Roxie to get to know him was to be honest with her.

"All right. Ask me a question and I'll answer it as best I can. Anything you want to know. But I get to ask the same question of you after." he said.

The owner returned with Roxie's drink and Joe's water while he prepared himself for Roxie to ask him whatever came to mind. He took a sip and hoped that he could, in fact, let her in a little.
