Mike: That girl in my class is gorgeous, I want to ask her out again.
Ron: That's very nice. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Mike: Yea, thanks pal. We hang out very often. Last night, everything went perfect. We had a nice dinner and chat. She is not seeing anyone now, and I'm going to take a chance.
Ron: Cool, just to push the envelope then.
