The RHP Desert Diner is open for business

Hell yes, ma'am!

Our short-order cook and many of our regular customers took the night off and are bunkering in place because they are concerned about our county's history of alien abductions occurring under a full moon.

So I'll see what I can do. Tell you what, why not join me in the kitchen and make some suggestions as this comes together? No charge for any extras on such a night.

Watch out Suzianne, sounds a bit like a “come on”. (Would you like to come up to my apartment and see my stamp collection?)…🤔😲😉

Could you put a bun in the oven for me.

I could be an expert in Philately by now.

That sounds about half a century behind the times.

Even given that the template is a rather lame pretext, I wonder what would be a more current substitute for etchings or stamp collections?

"Wanna play some Halo or Call of Duty? How 'bout Need for Speed?"

Heard that one more times than I care to count.

Xbox or PS is a thing for these dudes.

Why can't people be more direct?

"Hi! I'm kind of attracted to you, but in a place like this there's a 95% chance you're either an insecure narcissist or a cold-hearted predator. Are you either one of those? Don't expect me to trust you, but I might."

"Well, hey there. 10:30 AM on a Sunday morning and we're still at a night club. Perhaps we were destined to meet?"

"Oh, hi. Just wanted to let you know I'm interested in you and am willing to take it slow and see how it goes. And I'm honestly not trying to overcompensate for my internal desperation by intentionally going slow and easy here."

Wow. That is sad.

A collection of some kind (Legos, Star Wars, stamps) would be a step above and of course might indicate they have at least a little excess income.

EDIT: On the other hand, I know of people who met and got married through games like Elder Scrolls Online.

EDIT 2: But really, some fundamental requirements for me would be: nice face, nice voice, ni ...[text shortened]... I don't have any money in the bank. So your impending rejection would be completely understandable."
