Amy, do you know the Frank Loesser song "Once in Love With Amy"? Does Mark sing it to you?
No, but he once sang to me "I've Got a Crush on You" in its entirety when he first started wooing me. It took an entire hour for him to work up his nerve. The work-up went like this:
Mark: "Okay, here goes...No, wait, I can't."
Amy: "You really don't have to sing it."
Mark: "But I really want to". Deep breath. "No, I can't." "Okay, I'm really going to sing it. Here goes..." Deep breath. "No, wait, I can't do it."
This went on for literally an hour. It was terribly romantic. He finally did sing it straight through without stopping. And since that was eight years ago, it obviously worked!
