I was telling this story to an old college friend today and she suggested I blog about it. So, I am! Most of my blogs share experiences I've had with horrendously horrible guys! This "date" is the opposite!
Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away I had a "date" to the 1st or 2nd Harry Potter movie. (Sorry, too long ago to remember which.)
The evening started with my "date" meeting me at my work place. We arranged to meet in the parking lot. For reasons NOT of his own doing I had to drive. He was prompt! He immediately greeted me and told me that I looked very nice and the jacket I was wearing really flattered me. (Dude, got BIG points with the compliment!) We got in the car and started to leave. We were actually heading to Logan's Roadhouse to met a group of Potter fans and another Potter fan needed a ride. She was sitting in the passenger seat so my "date" jumped in the back seat. My "date" said he hated to be a bother, but he had recently broken his arm and forgot his sling. He asked if we could run by his house so he could get it and he also remembered that he had a coupon for a free dessert at Logan's. While he ran into his house I told my friend that she needed to move to the back seat so my "date" could have the passenger's seat.
My "date" came back with his sling, a coupon for free dessert and an appropriate amount of cologne on. He hopped right in and buckled up. He was a fabulous conversationalist for the whole ride. When we got to the restaurant he held my door and waited for me to be seated. He immediately told the waiter that he had a coupon for free dessert. After dinner we went to the movie and he made sure I was seated before he sat down. After the movie I drove him home. We got to his house. He thanked me for a wonderful evening and said he hoped we could do it again soon. He leaned in and hugged me and then got out and went inside.
He was a perfect gentleman! He treated me like a princess! He was polite. He was mannerly. He was a good conversationalist (he even remembered to include my friend in our conversations.) He was handsome. So, he wasn't able to drive. No big deal. So, he used a coupon. Very responsible. He was the 10 year old son of some friends of mine. They had 4 kids and I would take them all out at different times. I took the twins out, I took the middle boy out and I took the oldest boy out for various excursions. I enjoyed spending time with all of them. It was always fun to play "Auntie" to these kids. But I must admit that this evening stood out because the oldest boy (who I will refrain from naming because I would never want to embarrass him.... DD) was the sweetest, most wonderful "date" ever!
Here was his "auntie" taking him out to a movie she wanted to see anyway with a bunch of other work geeks, I meant work friends and he turned out to be my best "date" ever!
Wish he could give pointers to the other men in my life!
Love you Big D!
Would never want to embarrass him, but seriously. He was the best date ever! Now he is in military school and has girls crazy for him! I hope they realize how fabulous he is!
Thanks for letting me be one of the first girls you practiced your mad skills on! Love you and am so very proud of you Big D!

Dang it, half way though I am wondering what happened to him!!! But after reading this I see we could all learn a thing or two about how to treat the ladies, and points for him, I've always liked "older women"
ReplyDeleteThis is sweet! I am sure his parents will delight in this special remembrance of him!
