What did the Circle say to the Line at Starbucks?

-Line
Is this seat taken?

+Circle
Excuse me?

-Is this seat available for me to sit in? I would like to sit and enjoy my coffee.
I will not bother you.
Besides, all the tables are taken. All tables have one person.

+Why didn't you ask someone at another table?

-Good question! I clearly have a choice. 11 of them.
If I took table 1 or 2, or passed you and went to table 4, would you have noticed?
Would you have thought, why did he not ask me?
Am I not inviting?
Am I not attractive?
Does he think I am not of good company?

+ You have a good point. Plus if I say NO, clearly we both would be in a similar situation of embarrassment.
For I am sitting alone at my table and not expecting anyone.
But why ask at all if all seats are already taken?
You could have ordered your drink and taken it out like ordinary Lines do in this situation.

-Does this mean I can sit?

+Yes!

-Anyways, my name is Line.

+Nice to meet you. I'm Circle.

*Piano music slowly picking up pace*

-The pleasure is mine!

+Why do people say that?
Is it a pleasure to meet someone, a stranger, and say it is a pleasure to be with you?
Sounds like double talk!
For me it's a pleasure to meet a friend, my sister, and a lover.
Pleasure is a state of feeling pleased.
Are you telling me that I some how please you?

-I see now that I may have interrupted your time, but as I am here now, "Yes" you please me?

*Awkward silence* 
Quietly puts 3 packets of sugar and 2 creams into his coffee and stirs.

-This is my first time in 2 years I have entered a café.
Since covid, I have stayed home and made my own coffee.
My social skills are a bit rusty.
I put on a nice suit for coffee.
Actually I was afraid to enter a café.  I passed 3 of them with the intention to enter, but I failed.
I stood outside this one for 5 minutes. It seemed like hours.
The Mermaid with the star crown smiled and invited me in.

+Why be so reluctant just to purchase coffee in a nice suit?
I can't understand you Lines at all!
That is why I broke up with my Line recently.

-Maybe Lines a Circles are not so different.
From a distance they look very different, but if you draw a line and draw a circle on a piece of paper next to each other like this.

*Trying to carefully draw on a napkin, piano pace decreasing*

Look closely. Really focus on one portion of the line. Next, one portion of the circle. As if your eyeball was standing on it.
Imagine it. Depending on your position, you can look left to right or back and forward. To me it's back and forward.

+And this means what to me?

-Lines and Circles have a choices. Turn left or right. Go strait or go back.
For example, maybe your ex-boyfriend took a different turn.
Maybe he went back to something that he regrets now that he passed up.

+And what is your choice?

-Here? Now?

+Yes! At our table.

*Piano music hitting a comfortable note*

-I will go strait even though I am a bit nervous. It would pleasure me if I could sit here a while.

+Me too. Let's start over.
Hello, I'm Circle.

-My piano heart has 2022 notes I haven't heard of yet-
