How to use "Iffy" in context?
My head is spinning, I don't know if I should do this. I don't know if I should go to dinner with him. I don't know if he's worth the risk. But I can't seem to help myself. Every time I see him, my heart races and I can't stop thinking about him.
I can't tell if he's just being friendly or if he has something else in mind. But even if I don't end up getting dinner, at least I'll know more about him. And maybe I can figure out if he's really "iffy" or if he's just a normal guy.
