[ WP ] Your phone is the best wingman ( playing music at the right time , calling people , etc . ) and keeps trying to set you up with this one person . It 's starting to get creative .

`` Come here often?'' 
 
 `` Not anymore.'' 
 
 Jacob sighed. He had been striking out big-time with the ladies! His usual pick-up lines just did n't seem to have the same effect. What did he have to do to get a number at this bar? 
 
 `` Pardon me - are you Jacob?'' 
 
 He turned to the beautiful woman standing next to him, looking at him expectantly. He had never seen the girl in his life - how did she know his name? 
 
 `` Why, yes! Yes, I am.'' 
 
 `` I just wanted to thank you for the Shirley Temple you just sent down - it's my favorite drink. Want to sit and talk for a while?'' 
 
 Jacob was absolutely stunned, to say the least. He had n't ordered her a drink - he had n't even seen her at the end of the bar! Shirley Temples were his go-to drink, though - this was indeed a move he would make. As though answering his question, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He knew it was a bad idea to get the drink-ordering app for this bar - his phone was far too helpful on dates. 
 
 `` Sure, let's take a seat. What's your name?'' 
 
 `` Shannon.'' 
 
 As they sat down, the bartender brought over another Shirley Temple for Jacob. My god, the phone had thought of everything! On one hand, it was nice, but on the other... maybe Jacob should consider switching to Android. In any case, the night was going strangely well, although strangely was the operative word in that sentence. 
 
 They sat at the table, and began to talk. As they talked, Jacob began to realize - this girl was amazing! She was a voice actress for big gaming companies, as well as a popular streamer. He was a businessman, but that did n't diminish his love for gaming. As they talked away, he opened his phone to record her various gamertags and her Twitch stream, but was stunned to find that the phone was keeping a complete record of everything that had been said, as well as a list of things to do to impress her and a compendium of ideas for gifts and future dates. 
 
 As the conversation began to wind down and the Shirley Temple glasses went empty, they sat in silence, smiling at each other. But the night was n't over - at least, as far as the phone was concerned. 
 
 The jukebox in the corner started to whirr to life as it received an incoming request from the app people could use to request songs. Let's Dance, by David Bowie, began blasting over the loudspeakers. 
 
 `` Come on - let's dance,'' Shannon said, with a sly grin on her face. She grabbed his hand, and pulled him out to the floor.
