Joe was wandering if he should be bring out his gentlemen manners and take her coat, pull her seat… but this was made easier by the woman saying ‘Can I take your coats’.

Joe at times feels awkward in moments like this because the modern world now considers men women as very equal and some women may take offence to acts of chivalry like this.

However, Joe knew that the days of male chivalry was coming back since the feminist movements in the early days had caused more disruptions to the female psyche than any real benefit.

This wasn’t Joe’s opinion, it was the opinion of several of his well known, well educated female friends who had told him the very thing.

As Joe and Karen sat down, Joe could not help seeing Karen in a more subdued light other than the harsh street lights and for a moment could not take his eyes off her.

“Seems like a very lovely place” Karen said looking at Joe and smiling at the same time.

Joe quickly came to his senses and replied “Yes, isn’t it” and thought about for a second what he should say next.

“I am glad you chose this place, I would never have thought of coming here”, Karen replied.

Hmm Joe thought to himself, the conversation is going to be easier than I thought, not like the other woman he met a few weeks back where he was struggling to make any kind of conversation, it was like trying to draw blood out of a stone.

Karen seemed totally self-reassured, completely at ease and from where he was sitting, this made him feel a lot better.
