Unit 28 A Blind Date
W: What’s wrong, Mike? You appear to be depressed.
M: I haven’t slept in days, and I feel awful. My
fiancée and I broke up just before I went to
Madrid for the concert.
W: Why didn’t you say something? No wonder your
playing sounded so bad. Oh dear, I’m really sorry.
M: It was an appalling performance, I agree. I was
miserable and unhappy, but I had to perform,
anyway.
W: Have you been seeing anyone else since you
broke up with her?
M: No, I have been working overtime instead. The
conductor was not pleased with my last performance.
Besides, don’t you think it’s too soon?
W: Not at all. You might just need to get out and
socialize. Hey, I’ve got a fabulous idea!
M: Oh no, not another one of your ideas. What is it
this time?
W: Do you remember me telling you about Julia, a
friend from work?
M: I think so. Why?
W: Well, she is single. I could set up the two of you.
M: A blind date? I tried that when I was younger,
and it was a disaster.
W: Come on, Mike. I’d be helping two friends who
will, of course, have a great time together. She
has a charming personality, and she also plays
the oboe. You can go to the concert in the park
on Saturday afternoon. Maybe you can have
coffee afterwards.
M: She plays the oboe? OK. Let me know when and
where to meet her.
