  4. I’m not hungry hungry, but I’ll share your garlic mayo fries.

  5. Why do you have to hang out with Fahad so much? Is he your boyfriend?

  6. Oh never mind, Yasir is just a friend. But I don’t get a good vibe from Ramsha so you better not talk to her.

  7. I’m not one of those girls.

  8. You’re just like a brother to me.

  9. *On the second date* some people are coming over tomorrow for my rishta, so I thought I should just let you know.

  13. Can’t believe how you can spend this much on a pair of jeans! Don’t look at my footwear collection, I’m classy - I have to!

  14. I am an independent woman but you should pay for the meal. I’m old fashioned.
