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.
