Gentle-hombre

Him: Excuse me!
I look up through the darkness and see a man sitting at a picnic table with a friend. Bettie smells the loose bark around my feet.
Me: Yes?
Him: I was just talking with my friend about how I would like to call you sometime? Would it be ok if I had your number?
Me: Oh..oh....thanks but I am actually seeing someone
Him: Oh ok then. I just thought you were really cute
Me: Aw! Thank you....that's really sweet of you
Him: Sorry for bothering you.

How polite! Such a gentle-hombre!
