the playbook

I was at dinner with a friend of mine, when I mentioned my Playbook— a collection of plays for me to use for someone I'm dating, my future wife, or just something to let a girl know how special she is to me.

Before your head starts going off on how conniving a playbook may be, read below something that could be in my playbook, but is borrowed from someone else:

melt for you
1 heart shaped tin
1 waterproof note
water
freezer
elegant delivery
flowers (optional)

My buddy was asking a girl to prom and did so in a very eloquent way.  He found a heart shaped tin and filled it halfway with water and placed it in the freezer.  After the layer of water had frozen over, he placed a laminated note on top of the layer of ice, and filled the rest of the tin with water and placed it in the freezer.  The end result was a block of ice with a note set in the middle in the shape of a heart.

He delivered the heart-shaped block of ice and instructed her to melt the ice to read the note.  After the heart had melted away, he brought out a bouquet of flowers as she read the note "My heart would melt for you if you went to prom with me."

conclusion
As I was speaking to my friend, I expressed my concern  about running out of things in my playbook or that my future wife would no longer be entertained by my antics; she addressed my concern by saying

"When you've met the right girl, you'll never want to stop doing the things you do and she'll never want to stop appreciating it."
