'Are you asking me out?' she replied at last.
Well, what else would 'Dinner sometime?' mean?
'I'm not sure I'm ready for this.' Too fast?
It's all ad lib. I've got no scheme.
There's really no need to be so aghast.
It's only a meal, not a marriage proposal.
But I should have made clear I'll pay the bill
with absolutely no expectation
of anything back except my fill
of hopefully interesting conversation
and a pleasant view across the table.
It's only a meal, not a marriage proposal.
