Alexander Seal Poet Couplet

Old Fashioned Dating

Meeting fine ladies was much harder back then
No online dating, just a case of “where and when”

A direct approach: ask her out to her face
If it all goes wrong, you look like a disgrace

You ask her to join you for a meal
Perhaps a famous restaurant, using a two-for-one deal

If a date goes nicely, you meet up again
The history of chasing ladies for us “growing older” men
