Email from my boss be like:
I'm want to show how you have to use informal language if you want to be successful picking up women. Can you check the dialog?
Me:
As the woman I don't care how bad some guy's English is, if he's cute enough I'll speak Japanese!
(Actually thinking "WTF it's not like if your English is good enough people will be obligated to go out with you...this is so sexist.)
Boss:
Then I don't need to worry about my English.
(Pretty sure he's joking because it sounds like his humor.)
Me:
But some guys aren't so handsome and socially skilled so they might need some tips.
Later my coworker says to me:
"I read your very interesting exchange the boss, and he says he wants you to write some natural scenes for at a bar when you want to..."
Me: "Pick up women? Ehhh..."
Coworker: Hahaha, not exactly like that.
Me: And what about women? They need tips too!
Coworker: Like, at a bar, how to meet someone and say hi and ask for a date. A lot of Japanese are interested in this kind of English.
Me: Um...I don't have a lot of experience, but I'll try something.
Later, reading a bunch of articles on Dr. Nerdlove, writing several dialogs. Send them to boss and coworker.
Coworker: The boss read your dialogs and thinks they're good! They're very natural and not at all creepy! Can you write some more?
Me: OK....
(I'm thinking, "How did I become the expert???")
