Out Walking With a Young Gentleman

Last night I was out with a nice young man. (The Chemistry Student)

When walking back to my car with me, he says "So, I don't know the proper etiquette when out courting a woman and walking down a city a street." He switches to walking on the other side of me.  "Do I walk on the side between you and the road? In the case of a horse and carriage careening out of control I would be able to push you to safety and take the hit? Or do I walk between you and the buildings so that the chamber pots being emptied from above splash onto my head and not yours?"

I laughed and told him, "Ah, don't forget that if you are walking between me and the buildings, you would be able to protect me from anyone lurking in the shadows of the doorways and alleys".

"Ah yes!" He says, he laughs. "I would be able to push you away from him..."
"Sending me into the street.."
"And I would get stabbed to death ..."
"While I am run over by a horse..."
(Laughter ensued)
"Dating can be Complicated, can't it"
