First date and wanting to do the right thing.

 

first love First date and wanting to do the right thing.
Ahhh…Chivalry.

 
Hello Mrs. Figgins: 
The Mom of a friend of mine reads your letters and I got this idea to write.  I’m embarrassed to ask anyone else so I’m going to try you.   
I’m 16 years old and I want to ask this girl out on a date, not sure where yet.  She is 16 and likes me too.   
My family is Baptist.  Her family is Mormon.   
How do I make a good impression?    I hope you get this note on time.

Dear Mitchell:     
This is the perfect to time for you to start becoming a a gentleman.  Chivalry is a virtue, and virtues can be learned. 
If you want to make a good impression, with a young lady of any age, make sure you begin and end with respect.
Mormons place tremendous value on family.  Therefore, if you’re going to ask  her on a date, introduce yourself to her family, first.   
If her Mom and Dad give the OK,   I strongly suggest you invite the young lady to join you along with few other friends.  A school ballgame is a great idea.  
If her parents are not in favor of allowing a date at this time, you can hold your head high and know you did everything the right way.   
If it’s thumbs up, keep things very light, fun and clean.  
Don’t try to get to first base or you’ll be handed your first set of walking papers, right on out the door. 
Good luck, Mitchell.   
Mrs. Figgins
