He liked video games and enjoyed reading, Emily smiled suppressed excitement.  She hoped Boris owned an<i>XBox</i>and not a<i>PlayStation</i>console and played first person shooters, perhaps they could play co-op together live.  Taking her cue from him, Emily eagerly watched to see if he had the bite, and OMG-I-should-have-waited reaction.  After his second bite, Emily hefted her slice, folded it in half and chomped down in glee.  Pizza, a favorite food, wasn’t something she knew how to eat neatly, nor did she care to, even on a date.  Either the guy accepted her as is or he didn’t get much farther than a shared meal.  The hot slice was heavenly, crust crisp but not so much that it didn't hold its own in containing the myriad of toppings from spilling out.<br/><br/>Armed with new information, Emily wanted to know the type of books Boris enjoyed reading and asked  if there were any authors he followed.  An avid reader herself, she admitted life at the moment didn’t allow much time for reading, omitting being a member of an adult roll playing forum. After all, who knew where things were going and given what most members were writing about, he might get the wrong impression about her.<br/><br/>Between bites, she brought up gaming and they bantered back and forth in gamer talk (he liked first person shooters), enjoying the inside jokes only other like-minded geeks would understand.  Boris was as funny as he was handsome, and Emily decided to throw caution to the wind.  “Can I send you a friend request so we can game together or will your girlfriend be put out that another female wants to game with you?” It was done.  The ball was in his court.
