log 009, filtered from Peggy

[Well, it took a while, but he's finally managed to figure out how to filter things from people and not just to people. Steve's place of choice for the day is the art room, settled into a corner with his sketchpad and pencils. He looks a little embarrassed, but -- there's no Bucky here for him to ask about this kind of thing.]

So, uh -- I don't know how many of you noticed, but I'm not...exactly a ladies' man. But I owe a certain lady a dance; promised her one back home, actually. I just, uh, want to make it special, I suppose. And there's no Stork Club around here to do that in.

So what I'm trying to say is -- does anyone have any, um, tips? For this sort of thing? ...Or if you could point me to some good music, say...Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman or someone, that'd be appreciated, too. So, uh. Thanks.

If she didn't she wouldn't want to dance with you. In my experience pity-dates aren't a real thing.

[thestarspangledman]

..You'd be surprised.

A girl doesn't come to a job- or die I guess, I don't know who we're talking about- and agree to go on a date with a guy she doesn't like. There are plenty of excuses not to go through with it. Namely you're on a prison barge and it's not really the ideal dating environment.

[thestarspangledman]

Neither was during a war, but -- we made do. Sort of.

[ichoosefight]

And that is why I think she likes you.

[thestarspangledman]

....Well, uh, thanks.

Hey, if you need ideas for a second date I know where you can get a picnic basket.

[thestarspangledman]

I'll keep it in mind.
