In my quest to build a house, I've worked with many people, including a very nice young lady at the tile and flooring place here in town. My second visit there, she asked if I was married - I said "no, never have been; no kids". She asked if I might be interested in going on a blind date with her father-in-law then?
I'm trying to adapt to my new home and get to know as many people as possible in the community, so I said "sure, why not".
Later that day she called to ask me if she could give him my phone number, which I agreed to. That very night he called, much to the amusement of my family members sitting in the kitchen taking my turns at the board game while I chatted with him. He promised to call another day to set up a dinner date.
This afternoon he called again. This region has a very strange courting/mating ritual that I am unfamilar with. I'm used to meeting someone for coffee/a drink/dinner at a neutral place, or meeting with mutual friends. But this guy? He has extra sunfish that he caught that he wants me to have, and wants to come by my camper to deliver them.
So is it a courting ritual to give a girl a fish on the first date? Is this a Minnesota thing? I'm so confused!
