[Answer]
“Do you have a name, or can I call you ‘mine’?”
“Of course I have a name. Who doesn’t?”
“Which is?”
“Anonymous.”
“Stop playing games with me and just tell me your name already.”
“Give one valid reason why.”
“Give one valid reason why not.”
“I’ll give you one word; anonymous.”
“I’ll give you an entire statement; this can’t be a one-sided relationship in which you know my name and I don’t know yours.”
“I don’t have a problem with that.”
“Well, I do.”
“Then that’s your problem, not mine.”
“Let’s play a game.”
“If it’s that question thingy, I’m still not interested.”
“The game is fun. Just give it a try.”
“Only because I’m bored. And no personal questions.”
“I don’t think you understand the game. It’s supposed to be personal, to get to know you.”
“Fair point but not too personal. And I have the right to throw a question out.”
“I’ll think about it. You also have to answer truthfully.”
“I’ll think about it. No promises.”
“You just have to make everything complicated.”
“Whatever. You first.”
“First question; your name?”
“Figured you’d ask that first. The name’s. . .on second thoughts, not telling.”
“Why?”
“Stop whining, and you’ll just have to wait till we meet ”
“How far is that from now?”
“Probably a decade or two.”
“Stop kidding around.”
“Anytime you want.”
“How about now?”
