This method is very popular in movies. Really, the audience is much more interesting to watch as the hero falls into a puddle, walks on the street in his arms, smashing a storefront window or doing somersaults on the spot, than to watch rub map san antonio him, mumbling and twisting in his fingers flimsy, interrogates the heroine: “Do you know what time it is? But in the harsh reality of normal girls, witnessing such a street incident, resolutely speed up the pace, looking straight ahead. I don’t recommend it. From the bottom of my heart, I do not recommend it.
