Then Lily starts to discuss about the basic rules a single man should follow while hanging out with any married woman. The first rule is avoiding any place that has got something to do with candles. The second important rule is not sharing any food and never making the mistake of lying to your spouse.
Marshall confesses that unless you are old friends, it is quite hard to remain just friends with any single individual of the opposite sex. Marshall and Robin plan to hang out with each other and have a dinner together. Sadly, they realize in course of the dinner that they little things in common. Sports, cold weather are two topics of their insipid discussion.
