The Little Things
It seems these days that romantic gestures have reached epic proportions. Between elaborate prom proposals and the luxurious dates on The Bachelor, that you have to pull out all the stops to make a big impact and display of affection. But for me, it's the little things that have resonated and stick out in my memories of romance in my dating life. Ginger Smurf bringing me flowers touched me. I don't think I remember anyone else doing that for me on a date. And it wasn't an elaborate bouquet, just some carnations. And yet, it was the sweetest thing he could have done.
Book Excerpt
SWIPE LEFT
For our second date, we met at a local movie theater for Classic Movie Night. They were showing one of my favorite comedies, Beetlejuice. Ginger Smurf was waiting for me inside the entrance, wearing a suit and tie and holding a bouquet of white daisies. I remember feeling underdressed again.
He insisted on buying a gigantic popcorn and oversized drinks, despite my protestations. We found some comfy seats and settled in to watch the movie. I tried to think of any other time that I had someone give me flowers on a date, and I couldn’t come up with a single one. That small gesture meant so much to me, and I knew that I would always remember that about him.
After the movie, we walked to my car, and I drove him to the nearest bus stop on his route home. I thanked him for the movie and the flowers, and we agreed to get together again soon. Driving away, I couldn’t help but smile. Despite myself, I hoped that this could be the beginning of something special.
