It's Friday night. You and your sister are enjoying dinner at the Varsity.
"Uh oh," she whispers. "Here comes that creep, Rick Astley. Didn't you guys break up?"
It's true: you ghosted Rick two weeks ago.
"Be quiet," you plead. "Maybe he won't see me."
Almost as soon as these words leave your mouth you can feel someone put their hand on the back of your chair.
[[Turn around|Turn Around]]You look around the restaurant and see a cute guy sitting alone. Jumping up, you walk towards the neighboring booth. Unfortunately, Rick is too quick for you. Before you can reach the lonely, cute guy across the room Rick has placed himself in front of you. You scowl at Rick for the interruption, but he continues unabashed:
"I just want to tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand."
You sigh in exasperation and ask: "[[Make me understand what?|Make me understand what?]]"Rick locks eyes with you and says "I just want to tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand."
Breathless with anticipation you ask "[[Make me understand what?|Make me understand what?]]"Rick pauses for effect while giving you one of those boyish looks you know so well. Then he continues:
"I'm never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you"
Scoff! You retort.
"Rick, just last weekend you":

[[hurt me|hurt me]]Rick shakes his head sadly. He puts a finger to your lips and replies:
"We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it"
What do you do?

[[know the game and play it|know the game and play it]]With tears streaming down your face, you run all the way to Techwood. But before the light changes a car pulls up beside you. It's Rick.
What do you do?
[[Approach the car|Approach the car]]
[[Keep running|Keep running]]"You're right, Rick" you say. "I knew from your Tinder profile that you were looking for a 'full committment.' I'm just not ready for that."
What do you say to Rick?
[[Ask Rick how he's feeling|ask me how I'm feeling]]
[[Tell Rick you're too blind to see what all the fuss is about| You're too blind to see]]Rick replies:
"I'm never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you"
You sigh discontentedly. "You might not, Rick, but what if I"

[[hurt you|hurt me]]"What" you ask tearfully. "What more do we have to say?"
Rick doesn't miss a beat.
"The answers" he explains "will be clear:
[[If you ask me how I'm feeling|ask me how I'm feeling]]
or
[[Don't tell me you're too blind to see| You're too blind to see]]
Which will you choose?You turn to run away, but before you can take a step you hear a car door slam behind you and Rick is once more at your side.
"What" you ask tearfully. "What more do we have to say?"
Rick doesn't miss a beat. The answers will be clear:
[[If you ask me how I'm feeling|ask me how I'm feeling]]
or
[[Don't tell me you're too blind to see| You're too blind to see]]
Which will you choose?You turn abruptly. It's Rick. He is dressed to the nines in pleated khakis, a striped polo shirt, and a baggy trench coat. Tres chic.
Before anyone can say a word Rick grabs your hand and declares:
"We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy"
What do you do?
[[Find any other guy|Find any other guy]]
[[You got me, Astley| You got me, Astley]]
