Then they started to ignore me and after a while I started to feel stupid. ,M: Oh, you shouldn't. Your German is really good. ,F: But it seems they were using their German ability to have fun with each other. They didn't really want to include me. ,M: Well, some people are like that. That's all. You can't let them bother you. One nice thing about chat room is that you can leave and go to another one.

I have a lunch break at noon and I'll drive over and pick you up. ,M: Oh, I feel so bad. Couldn't you get a doctor to come here? ,F: That's a little difficult.
