Just say yes!
Last year I was sat alone in my house in Tyseley, single, in a stable but mundane job and kind of bored. You see, I'm that "sensible one". I'm that guy telling his drunken mates to shush as they sing their way home at 3 in the morning. I'm that guy that keeps things simple, stays within boundaries and thinks too much.
