How to use "Drawn-out" in context?
I remember the first time I was ever "drawn out." It was college, and I was the new girl on campus. I was making the rounds of my new dorm, visiting everyone's room. Finally, I got to mine. There was a girl in my room, and we were both sitting on the edge of her bed, legs dangling over the side. She was asking me all these questions, and I was trying to be polite. But then she started asking me about myself, and I didn't know how to answer. I was just going through the motions, telling her things I'd been told to say.
