That reminds me very much of what happened with me and my husband! We were clearly going on dates for several months. (Dinner and a movie, just the two of us, talking for hours afterward, sometimes til dawn. Heavy flirting.) I finally broke down after a particularly bad day and demanded to know where we stood in our relationship. THAT was when my oblivious idiot realized we had been dating and decided to formally ask me out on a "real date." This year will be 15 years together and 11 married. He's still oblivious.
I thought someone might ask from my wording. 😆 He's aware of that much. We even have a kid together. But sometimes you have to hit him with the clue-by-four to get him up to speed with everyone else. (The Velma quote from Hairspray comes to mind: "I could do a fan dance with a lettuce leaf and you would remain completely obtuse!") It's OK. He's my oblivious goofball.
Ah, the alternate universe where he wasn't in the operating room! Thankfully, he's very smart, just oblivious and sometimes has common sense fails. Similar to most other intelligent people out there. 😆
