As I mentioned in my last post, Cordy is hosting a Lovely Blog Party for the whole month of February (it's nearly over! :(), and as part of that she has created a fun little Would You Really? tag that I can't resist filling out. :D
1. Would you ever got for a walk in the pouring rain to avoid the company of a gentleman caller?
I wouldn't put it past myself. As a general rule, I would consider that to be too rude to actually do, but if I had completely Had Enough of said gentleman caller and was having a frustrating day... Marianne Dashwood might not be alone in her actions. ;)
2. Would you ever, truly, try your hand at matchmaking?
I think not. I would not dare risk the wrath if plans went askew.
3. Would you be comfortable wearing glass slippers for a night out at a ball?
YES!! Because apparently they're "really comfortable" and who wouldn't want to wear beautiful, comfortable shoes to a ball?!
I must admit I probably would, assuming the stranger didn't have a wild, evil look in their eye. Or perhaps I would ask if I could save it for later and then subtly dispose of it afterwards?
5. Would you ever pretend to be a man's fiancée who you've never actually met?
No. There are too many ways that could go wrong! But I would totally take a photo with a stranger and pretend to be engaged as a joke, hehe.
6. Would you ever dance with a stranger that sang to you in a forest?
I would, undoubtedly. Call me foolish, but if he can sing well surely he can dance well, and if he can dance well why not dance in a forest? It would be so magical.
To be fair though, I'd probably look more like this and be serenading myself, totally unaware I'm being watched. |
7. Would you ever be the one to propose?
That I would not be able to make myself do. But I would try to give as many Helpful Hints as possible if he needed prompting. ;)
8. Would you ever visit the house of a man you refused but is supposedly out of town?
I would avoid it at all costs, but if pressed I would go along with the overall opinion, probably advocating a very "quick trip". And once there, no doubt my curiosity would get the better of me and I would be the one lingering.
Thank you, Cordy, for coming up with such fun scenarios to imagine, and for hosting a delightful event!
I'm with you on #1! Normally I would be too polite to skip out on a gentleman caller, but depending on how irritated I was that day...I'd be out of there. A little rain never did anyone any harm...right? :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm glad I'm not the only one, Samantha. xD And generally I would say no, rain never did anyone any harm, but Marianne Dashwood and Jane Bennet might say otherwise? ;D
DeleteHaha, "Helpful Hints", I like how you put that. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the tag!
Haha, thank you, Cordy! Well sometimes they might need a little prompting and prodding, you know. ;)
DeleteLoved all these answers!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rachel!
Delete"ask if I could save it for later and then subtly dispose of it afterwards" Literally exactly what I would do if someone forced it into my hands. xD
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know right?! xD Have I done that before? Well, I wouldn't say no...
