B: if you know any of their friends. You can't rely on your friends to introduce people to you all the time. You have to go out and make the first move sometimes. I also like funny people.
A: oh, I don't. they don't seem to take anything seriously. You never know when they are joking and when they are being serious.
B: sometimes it can be hard to tell, but if you know the person fairly well, you can usually see from their expression what they are really thinking.
A: it seems that we generally like different kinds of people. How is it that we are such good friends?
