Alright, so now that my thank you's are done with and now that I've been to my new student orientation for college, I feel the weight of time pressing down on my shoulders. I have less than a month till move in day for college, and between my odd jobs and getting paperwork done, my gentleman matters seem to be taking an unreasonable back seat.
I have, however, planned two dates for this week... well, one for sure is going to happen and the other one hasn't even been discussed yet. I spent a long time thinking about how I would invite lady friends on dates. I tried to think of creative ways to ask them, and so far, I've only come up with one.
On Tuesday, I left a red rose and an envelope on one of my lady friends' door step. Well, actually, I hid the rose and the envelope in the bushes because I didn't want anyone else at her house to open the door and read the message. I texted her that I had hidden a surprise for her in the bushes and that she should go look when she had the time. I had already driven off her property by this point, and was absolutely nervous about her response, even though we'd gone on dates before. As I drove my car home that day, I felt my heart pounding over the sound of my radio, and felt my fingers tingle with excitement.
The envelope contained a letter that asked if she would like to go see the new Winnie the Pooh movie with me. Now, I'm sure that sounds a little childish to some, but she'd been a big fan since she was very little. I figured she would love to. She ended up telling me though that she had already seen it. I was devastated to say the least. I had thought myself very clever and thoughtful, but only to realize later, that she had told me she'd already seen it before I put that letter and rose in her bushes. I was a bit embarrassed at this point.
So, we looked up other movies that were showing. The ones we liked we'd already seen, and the others weren't worth watching in our opinions. So, I decided to blockbuster I would go. We picked a movie and the date and times are the same, so I figure this will work out after all. Plus, I won't have to pay extra for popcorn or drinks since I already have them at my house.
My other lady friend I am going to be inviting to have tea with me on Sunday in the afternoon. It will be the same sort of invitation, a rose with a note. This also puts my room cleaning on a time limit though. It is a good and bad thing... good because it should actually get done, but bad because I might have put unnecessary stress on myself. I am running out of time though, and trying to come up with new ideas for dates while these are pending. My third lady friend I haven't done anything with. I should invite her to tea as well, I figure, but I unlike my other two lady friends, she is very quiet and so laid back that you have to push really hard for any kind of opinion. I'd really like to take her to something she'd enjoy, something she won't be bored at and will care about. I'm still brainstorming ideas.
I hope I can be declared a gentleman by all three ladies before my time with them is done. I don't know what I'll do if I don't accomplish my goal.
