Man: So, uh, another one night stand then, huh?
Woman: Is that okay?
Man: Not really my thing.
Woman: Come on. You must play the field.
Man: No, I don’t.
Woman: But you are such a flirt.
Man: I flirt, yes. But I only sleep with someone if I’m into them. And I prefer to stick around.
I looked up the phrase “play the field” in a dictionary, it means to have sexual relationships with a lot of different people. I just wonder if it comes from, like the baseball term?
Thank you!!!
