Here's a story for you Nick.
There was this girl who, well, I can't say we really dated, but you know how that usually goes for me. Anyway, time passes and she is dating a guy, a real winner if you know what I mean. So I am leaving soon for lands afar and decide I wanted to spend a day with her. I call her up and ask her if she would like to do something for a day. She says yes and I plan the day. Later, she says her boyfriend wants to know where I am taking her. Hold on there buddy, I have known her longer than you and I will not stand for any guy trying to dictate to me what I can and cannot do with a girl. So I tell her it is a surprise and she will just have to find out. The day was a great day, she had a wonderful time. And he called every 5 minutes to check up on her. She was pissed at him and they shortly thereafter broke up.
