Are you on a date?

Surprise!

Hey carrie! how are you?

Good! Good! i was just here with my posse having dinner and saw you!

Oh, carrie, this is Julia Woods. Julia, Carrie Bradshaw!

Nice to meet you!

Can i talk to you for a second?

Sure!

Are you on a date?

Sort of!

I thought you said you had a business thing tonight?!

I said a "dinner thing"!

Well, she's stunning! and i should know, because frankly she stunned me. well, enjoy your dinner!

Are you okay?

Oh, sure! i was just ... you know, i just didn't realize you were dating other women!

Not alot of other women! why don't we talk about this suturday?

Sure! Sure! Sure! So, then, enjoy your dinner! Oh, i already said that! well, enjoy it twice!

[ TRue, we had never discussed exclusivity! but while for me the idea of seeing another man would be like trying to fit another outfit into an already overstuffed suitcase! Big was happily dating another woman like it was the most natural thing in the world! is it that men have an innate aversion to monogamy or is it more than that? i wondered! in a city like New York with its infinite possibilities has monogamy become too much to expect??]
