B: Everything is going great.

A: Kara, would you be interested in going to dinner again this Friday?

B: Mike, I had a good time too, but I am getting ready to move back to the east coast, so I think I shouldn't get too involved right now.

A: Well, we could just go out as friends.

B: Right now, I think I need to really focus on matters at home, but thanks for a nice evening.

B: Mike, I enjoyed your company, but I am getting ready to graduate soon. I really need to focus on my studies.

A: Maybe I could help you with what you need to get done.
