Hello. [And then, the pause. The slight blush to her cheeks, that she's going to ignore and so should you.]

Right, I was going to ask - for something. [Another pause, enough to worry her lips between her teeth for a moment, then nod to herself and straighten up.]

This 'modern concept' [Air quotes] called 'dating' [Air quotes] how does it go? How is it any different from - from courtship, or wooing? And on that note, are things so different in this world? I am...beginning to think I come from what would be considered a very outdated place. There's so many things that boggle the mind here, but today I'm just going to ask about this one.

Purely out of curiosity, of course.

[ooc; Not purely out of curiosity. Someone needs the Modern Day Sex Talk.]

Is someone trying to date you?

[He already has suspicions, of course.]

[mrsnose]

If he isn't, then he's been bringing me flowers for nothing.

Flowers are still a precursor to dating in this time, I think. Do you like this person?

filtered;

[mrsnose]

Not all the time.

[candothat]

Then maybe you should only date them at times when you like them. I know that liking the person you are with is necessary when dating.

What about if your feelings run deeper? What if they may not always do things you like, but it doesn't make you love them less?

filtered;

[candothat]

That makes them lucky. If you love this person, does what dating entails matter?

filtered;

[mrsnose]

Not really, I suppose. But I was curious.

filtered;

[candothat]

Someone who is modern will have better answers. I only vaguely know how dating is meant to work in my time; this time is wholly mysterious.

filtered;

[mrsnose]

And how do they? If I may ask.

filtered;

[candothat]

Dating is casual and there are no rules that I can think of. It is different depending on who is doing the dating, I imagine.

filtered;

[mrsnose]

That's what everyone keeps saying - the no rules, or the making your own rules thing.

That is not the answer you wanted, is it?
