are you still coming to my place for dinner tomorrow night ?

of course . Is the dinner still on ?
neutral
assistant
yes , I was just wondering how you and your roommate were planning on coming to my place .
neutral
user
we were planning on walking both ways since the weather is still nice .
neutral
assistant
that's what I thought you would do . Listen , I live in a bit of a rough neighborhood . It's just down the street from all the bars . You probably don't want to be walking around after dark .
neutral
user
it can't be that bad .
neutral
assistant
I wish it wasn't , but there is actually a lot of crime and prostitution around here .
neutral
user
really ? I never would have guessed . The criminals must only come out in the evenings , because I've never noticed anything strange when I've been at your house in the daytime .

do me a favor , and take a taxi . It'd make me feel a lot better .
neutral
user
ok , we will . How do you get around in the evenings ?
neutral
assistant
when I first moved in , I walked everywhere . But within a week , I had my purse stolen — just a block away from the police station ! Now , I always take public transportation .
neutral
user
has anything else happened to you ?
neutral
assistant
nothing else has happened to me , but I have seen quite a few fights on the streets after the bars close .
neutral
user
well , we'll be careful . Thanks for letting me know .
