You meet her at a basketball game, both related to people on the same team. She doesn't know you, and you don't know her. She's cold to you. If you talk to her, that'll likely change because you just so happen to be the type of person she'd like to be friends with. You're sat next to each other at the basketball game, and every socializing attempt you've tried so far was blown off with "uh huh's" and one word responses. You're getting tired of her not responding, so you take up a new topic.

You: "Hey, you single by any chance?"

Marilyn: "Yeah, why?"
