EXPECTATIONS AND REALITY

“How do you do that?”

“What do you mean?” Frankie seemed unaware of what Joey meant.

“I use every single dating app to find broads and I’m still unhappy: not that cute, neurotic, borderline, crazy as fuck. But you…”

“I don't think mine are on those apps”.

“How do you do that?” Joey retorted.

“I talk to everyone, even beggars” was Frankie's obvious response.

“How about the connection??” Joey looked quite hopeless.

“Don’t know,I never look for anything specific and I don’t expect anything at all. Maybe cause I’m still exploring life and fighting for fuck knows what”. Joey started to look away.

“Who are you?” Joey seemed startled by the question.

“A poor limp fuck who doesn't talk to anyone, full of prejudices, calculate every move and don’t dare anything. Is that what you wanna hear?” “Thank you very much mate…”

“Why are you surprised not to win the Champions League if you don’t even sign up for Conference?”.

Frankie shook his head and took off.
