Dating

Chris treats the process of establishing a relationship as a strict and immutable ritual in which hanky panky invariably occurs on the third date at the latest.

Chris's plan for when Blanca came to visit him provides valuable insight into how Chris sees the dating process.

Chris's plan for Blanca

This is from an e-mail Chris sent to Blanca:

The First Day: After you get yourself checked in, should you stay at a hotel, or when you are on the way to my house, after getting in or around Charlottesville or Ruckersville, call me on my home phone at (434)-990-0198 to let me know that you are on your way. You can meet my mother and father, chat with them a while and get to know each other. Then you and I, we can go upstairs to my bedroom to just hang out, watch TV, or chat a while. Maybe even some video gameplay with Guitar Hero or something. For dinner that evening, our First Date, I will take you out to McDonalds, Arbys, Burger King, or a small restaurant like that. Then I'd let you go back to your hotel, or bring you back home. NO SEX on the first night, but if you'd like to make out, I'd welcome it. The Second Day: If you're in a hotel room, I would bring my PS2 or 3, and we can play some more and hang with each other some more. If at home, we can still play and hang. For Lunch, I'd take you to this good all-you-can-eat Pizza/Salad/Soup/Desert Buffet that I know of in Charlottesville, then we can take in a Romantic Movie at the theater, or we can walk the Downtall Mall, and/or a walk in the park. I hope I'm painting a good picture for you. If we take in the movie, you and I can sit in the back, darker area. And if it doesn't bother you, I may "Yawn and stretch" my arm around you to your other shoulder. If you want to take it further, you may pull my hand on your shoulder a little closer to your breast (of course, this is optional), and I'd let you cop a reach into the popcorn bucket, or under that to cop a feel. Stop me if I'm bothering you any. And you and I can make out in the theater. And if you feel like it that night in the privacy of mine or your room, you can take my virginity, or we can wait till the third night, if there is one before you have to go back to OMITTED. Either way, I would wear a condom then, and in the future until our Wedding Night. :) And basically, I'd try to be better or equal for each future dates beyond that. :) I hope I've put a smile on your face after the wild imaginings from those first two dates. :) You may offer your humble feedback to all that in your reply. Also, I would like to ask you, should you be here on a Sunday Morning, would you be willing to come with me to my Methodist Church as a Visitor? If you do, I would take pride in being with you there and showing you off as my Girlfriend. :D But seriously, I would honestly appreciate just having you with me there. We do sing from a red or black book at points during each service, but you don't have to sing if you don't want to.
