I feel I should mention that if we were the last two people on earth, I would expect _you_ to refuse to date _me_. I’m not exactly a catch. ---

If the two of us were last on Earth Of all other people was an infinite dearth, Dating you probably still wouldn’t be 'cause long distance loves just ain’t for me! I’d write, though. I’d send letters via that snail mail I’ve heard about. Snails would still be around, right? ---

Well, it’s not a date actually. Let’s just call it friends having coffee together. ---

If you were the last person on earth, I think I’d have bigger issues than whether we would date or not. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > What brings on the question? A student showed me the question and response yesterday. The answer given was “No, because if you are the last person alive, then I don’t exist.” Clever, but I was sure that the Dope could do better, and I’m not disappointed. It also reminded me of a SNL routine where a timid guy was trying to ask out a woman, and they were the last people alive. She was blowing him off. I think this actually should have gone in MPSIMS. ---

If you meant “last” as in “last in line behind 7 billion people,” it’d depend on my method of transport.
