Extracting the essence of the story:
- Hey there, do you have a liking for spinach?
She responded with surprise:
- Not really, I'm not a big fan...
'Oh no, she doesn't fancy spinach. Quickly change the topic,' the guy thought.
This time he continues with a question no better than the first:
- Hey, do you have a brother?
- 'No, I don't, sir,' the girl replied.
The guy starts blushing. Oh no, why can't anything work with this girl? He gathers all his courage to say one last thing:
- If you had a brother, would he like spinach, you think?
The date turns terribly awkward with both of them not saying a word until they part ways. He's red-faced, and she just looks at him with a teasing smile. Quite disappointed, he thinks he won't have any chance anymore.
However, a few days later, her message arrives, surprising and delighting him: 'My silly guy, would you like to have spinach with me?'
