VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

The other day I invited my hotel’s receptionist to have dinner, but when we met I realized that she didn’t want to have dinner with me, so I feel so embarrassed.Before we had dinner for quite a lot of times and the feeling was not bad. We talked a lot and we enjoyed the food. We both like a restaurant close to our hotel which has renovated for several months so we haven’t had dinner again. Since the restaurant reopened I invited her to have dinner. When we arrived in I asked her what was the feeling that she felt, she said she didn’t like the chair, and she said seat on this chair she just wanted to leave after the dinner. When we got the menus I asked her what did she want to eat .” She said everything is ok then she looked at her phone. Through the eating, she asked me:”Do you have many friends and do you go out with them?” I said I felt my friends get less than less, and I felt I didn’t need friends anymore, then she said it was not good and if you do this how can you find your boyfriend and get married. I said recently I just focus on myself and I go to the gym and learning English. She said you should join other activities to meet more people, don’t be just stay at home. I felt not happy then I said I don’t care if I could get married or not. She said you said this is fine but think about how many years you will be work, maybe just 15 years. I said I will work forever. She still said other things but I felt the conversation was hard. After we finished our dinner, she judged the food and said this was 6 scores, the other one was 8 scores etc. After that she asked the waitress to get the bill and left as quickly as possible, just like her said.
