Afsoon:  Is your fajita good?  (((This fajita IS good)))

Hajiagha:  Yes it reminds me of eating noon panir with lavash noon.  Not bad.  (((I should ask her about cooking)))  Are you a good cook?

Afsoon:  No not really.  I can make a nimroo.  (((I can cook but NOT for you)))

Hajiagha:  I like nimroo (((If you marry me, I can eat nimroos every day.  You just massage me.  Ummmm umm)))

Afsoon:  Do you cook?  (((Can I chow down this fajita in 2 bites?  Would that be un-lady like?  I need to get the hell outa here)))

Hajiagha:  Yes I cook good soups.  (((I will cook for you my love.  Anything you like))) So do you like big weddings or small weddings?  By the way, did you see Ahmadinejad’s son’s wedding photos?

Afsoon:  No I didn’t.  I just remembered, I need to go buy a dress for a concert. (((Damn it! Why did I just say that? Idiot!)))

Hajiagha:  Moin’s concert?  We can go together.  (((Oh goody.  I can show her off.  I’ll impress everyone)))

Afsoon:  Maybe.  (((There goes Moin’s concert.  Glad I didn’t mention Mansour’s)))

Hajiagha:  We can go to another concert.  Which concert are you going to? (((Ghoorboonet beram.  We’ll go anywhere you want, jeegar.  Heck lets plan a cruise)))

Afsoon: I am not sure yet.  I have to talk to my friends.  (((Ok.  Time to say good bye)))

Hajiagha:  We can all go together.  (((Even better.  Me with few hot chicks!  Guys won’t believe it.  This must be my lucky night!)))

Afsoon:  Ok thank you for the dinner.  It was very nice.  I have to go now. (((Zoom Zoom.  Tezol)))

Hajiagha:  Wait a minute.  I like you.  You want a doggie bag? (((Is it possible she didn’t like me? I was nice and told her I liked her. Should I have talked more about bad or good things of Canada? Sucks to Canada.  It always confuses me)))
