That's how you do it

I went to this open mic/poet bar last night with a group of friends.  It was a nice setting. The ambiance was right for a smooth evening of good music, wine by your side, and just listening to people speak their minds and their hearts.  It's always refreshing to hear others share their feelings and thoughts because it just keeps you grounded to know there are others going through their own lives.  My girls and I were looking nice and the men out there were looking just as sharp.  It's definitely an evening where couples would enjoy this atmosphere.  One poet came to the stand he was the feature poet for the evening and he had one special poem dedicated to a lovely young lady sitting at the bar.  He dedicated this poem to her from a young gentleman across the room.  As the poet read his beautiful poem you just saw these two blushing with smiles.  Everyone started clapping, while she's completely embarrassed and surely flattered and he just smiled with confidence with a team of supporters cheering him on.  I was just blushing for her.  It was the cutest thing ever.  That moment I thought now that's how you get a girl's attention.  Matter of fact she will never forget that moment.  This is a story she can share to her girlfriends for a long time on what a charming stranger did for her.  I started to wonder what ever happened to that.  What happened to the courtship of a man showing his charm, trying to impress you, wanting to get your attention.  Now a days it seems like buying you a drink is enough to exchange numbers and go from there.  Whatever happened to just showing a woman a good time and making her feel special to where it evolves into something more.  I guess it doesn't take much for men to impress women because women don't let themselves to be courted.  I was deeply impressed and applaud that young man for having the confidence, guts, and humility to put himself out there for her and to the rest of the people at the bar.  I hope she takes that moment as a rare flattering incident that shouldn't be taken lightly and for he to take that chance of getting to know her.
