Not a scene from a real sitcom

In the next episode of the semi-autobiographical sitcom, "The Last Cynical Romantic":

Yellow Gal and Friend are sitting on a couch, watching television. "I had lunch with New Beau today," Friend says.

"Cool," Yellow Gal replies. "How was it?"

"It went well," Friend says. "The weather was nice, we had a good time."

"Cool."

"And after lunch, he asked me to be his valentine."

Yellow Gal slowly turns from the television to look at Friend. Not surprisingly, Friend is smiling. Yellow Gal asks, "You're joking, right?"

"Nope," Friend says, unable to stop smiling. Yellow Gal is now wondering whether Friend is smiling because she's genuinely happy or because she's embarrassed.

"No really, he asked you in all earnestness to be his valentine?"

"Yes!" Friend replies, "and I said 'yes'!"

"He asked in those exact words, 'Will you be my valentine'?"

"Yes," Friend laughs.

Yellow Gal slowly turns from Friend back to the television. It takes every ounce of effort and will power for Yellow Gal to hold her tongue. Had she not, she might have busted out laughing or emitted a sarcastic remark. But Yellow Gal, being a trained cynic, knows when to hold her tongue and just smile. And so she does.

Yellow Gal's voiceover: There is a fine line between sweet romance and drippy cheesiness, and New Beau crossed it. I was embarrassed for Friend, but even more so for New Beau. Asking someone "Will you be my valentine?" is akin to dressing up in a pink heart-shaped jumpsuit and singing a specially composed jingle. And yes, I would rather be single on V-day than be with a pink jumpsuit.

[Looks at Friend who is smiling ear to ear]

Voiceover continues: But who knows--perhaps I have become too jaded?

[Envisions pink jumpsuit with jingle in background]

Nah.
