I take it out for dinner and drinks. Spend some time getting know about it and where it comes from and what it does for a living. Then after we're a few cocktails in we get all philosophical. Really start asking the hard questions like, "Why do I even exist? Is any of this real or is it all some weird virtual world?"

We become fast friends and feel like we really understand each other.

But days pass, and each encounter feels less magical. It's almost like we having nothing in common. Like we're from two completely different worlds. One where its stuck in the past and one where I'm ambitious and excited about the future.

After awhile we don't really speak to each other anymore, and after some pretty ugly fights at work that get too personal... I rewrite it.
