Earlier Saturday morning. Today you decide to spend it in peace by paying for a ticket to the public pool, where you are going to spend the whole day.

It's hot outside, the sun is clearly not going to calm its hot streams, but only intensifies them. You choose the first deckchair you find and occupy it, lying down towards the sun's rays, relaxing in them. It takes some time and you begin to understand that...You're bored... You want to chat with someone, but you came alone. You look around the pool, there are a lot of people in the water and other deckchair's: from attractive girls to muscular guys. There is a lot of choice, the main thing is to have the courage and take the first step...

You see a young man in the water. He's looking at you with some curiosity. Maybe he was thinking about having a conversation too? Maybe it's time to take that first step and start talking to him...

The young man in the water seems interested in what you just said and begins to swim closer. It takes him a few moments as he's not a very good swimmer, but eventually, he reaches your side. "Um, hi there... I heard that you wanted to chat?"

"Hey there! I'm Alex. I'm actually pretty new to this area and don't know a lot of people yet, so chatting is always nice." He gives you a small smile, revealing a set of neatly aligned teeth. "What about yourself? What do you like to do in your free time?"

"Oh, those are some interesting hobbies! I used to ski once in a while when I was younger, but never really got into it. And playing music, that's cool. Do you play any particular instrument?" Alex asks, his curiosity piqued.

"Wow, that's impressive! So you're kind of like a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to music? It must be fun being able to switch between instruments." Alex laughs lightly before pausing for a moment, feeling the need to ask something else. "So, what made you decide to come here today? Just looking for some company?"

"Ah, I see. Well, I can certainly relate to that," Alex replies with a sympathetic smile. "Sometimes it's just nice to talk to someone new, you know? And who knows, maybe we could hang out sometime in the future, if you're ever looking for company again."

He pauses for a moment before continuing, "So, what do you think? You interested in that idea?"

"Great! I'd like that," Alex says with genuine enthusiasm. "You know, it's always nice to meet new people and make friends. And who knows? Maybe we'll end up being really good buddies." He pauses for a moment, considering how he should phrase his next question. "So... do you want to exchange contact info or something?"

"Oh yeah, sure," Alex says, digging his phone out of his pocket. "What's your number?" He hands the phone over to you and waits for you to type in your digits before typing his own into your contact list. Once that's done, he takes the phone back and grins at you.

"There, all set! Now we can easily keep in touch." He pauses, thinking about something else. "Hey, if you want, we could even go get some lunch or something after this?
