Now it was the moment of truth, the answer to his questions.

Questions for suitors:

Where would you take me on our first date?

Well I think that it would be nice if I first greeted you with a beautiful bouquet of various red flowers, including freesias, sunflowers, roses, and pom-pom dahlias, since your favorite color is red and every girl deserves beautiful flowers to balance out their own beauty. Then I would take you to Aqua Verde Paddle Club to rent a kayak and paddle out into Portage Bay, where we can talk about each other and get to know one another. Then for dinner, I know of this great Italian restaurant called Osteria La Spiga, with the finest raviolis and garlic bread. Then we would have a lovely tiramisu for dessert. Then I would take you home, kiss your hand, and hope to see you again.

My jaw dropped. Could he be more amazing? I wanted to pee my pants, but decided to keep reading instead.

What are your plans after college, if you are attending?

Right now I'm going into a Music Composition Major so I plan to write my own pieces and be a famous pianist. I'd love to play a song for you.

“Oh how dreamy..”I trailed off, thinking I had only thought the words, until I heard Alice laughing at me once again.

Tell me something that makes you different from other possible suitors.

I, for one, believe that chivalry is not dead. It is still right to hold the door for beautiful, young ladies, such as, yourself, as well as believing that we should only go so far, as is comfortable to you, therefore you will not expect pressure from me.

Even Alice had to sigh from delight at that answer. All we'd ever dealt with in high school were pushy guys always trying to get in every girl's pants.

Do you have a close relationship with your family?

Yes, in fact I am quite close to them. We have dinner together every weekend now, since I've already moved up to Seattle. It is most important that they approve of anyone I should choose to date. Sadly, or you could say luckily, they haven't had to approve of anyone, yet, but that doesn't mean you couldn't change that. I am also sure that they would easily and quickly approve of you, a beautiful and intelligent young one, who has her head on her shoulders.
