Courtship, One Week

Ice Cream, Salsa Dancing, A Haunted House, and Monty Python on a Thursday
The random nature of the date seems to characterize the boy himself. He is charming, in a goofy sort of way. He throws his hands about when he talks and he smiles a great deal-- a very handsome smile indeed. Bubble gum ice cream is his preferred flavor and it suits him. He is quite horribly inept at salsa dancing, but his determination to conquer despite his lack of natural talent is humorously endearing. He is not particularly tall, but such a detail can be forgiven due to his strong build. There is something wonderfully sweet about the role of protector he assumes in the course of an excursion through a haunted house. And, later, he laughs deeply at the humor of Monty Python. Much can be said about a person who appreciates such humor.

To The Theater, Monday Night
How shall we describe him? He wears glasses and parts his hair like a middle aged businessman. His wardrobe contains of a plethora of sweaters and sensible shoes. He is not the sort of boy you'd call by a pet name, or even an abbreviated version of his given name. There is something very proper and sagacious about him. You could safely trust him to be duly responsible. It must also be said of him that he treated her like a lady, he had a good sense of humor, and he made an excellent companion to the theater. It must also be noted that the occasion of the theater was not an explicitly stated date, though the boy most nearly asked for a proper date at the end of the evening. And she most nearly flirted with him.

The Date That Has Not Yet Occurred That She Hopes Someday Will
She does not ask for perfection, just a good man with a nice smile. He finds her funny and he can easily draw a laugh from her. She trusts him to be an honest and sincere man, one with unquestioned and confident standards. He opens doors for her and treats her like a lady. His looks are flawed, for whose isn't, but she finds him handsome nonetheless. The conversation flows easily between them, not necessarily because the wealth of common interests but more so because of the common interest in one another. The date goes very well indeed. She hopes he will ask for another. And he does.
