Glee
I was watching the popular tv show, Glee (don't judge me), today. One of the lead roles, Rachel, meets a young man in a music store while looking for sheet music for her next performance (she was in a theater group in school, about to head to regionals). His introduction is what intrigued me. Instead of walking up and saying a simple "hello" or casually commenting on the sheet music she was browsing he just kind of popped out of nowhere, grabbed the sheet music, told her he watched one of her performances, commented on her talent, whisked her away to the piano to sing a romantic duet with him, asked her out on a date, all while she falls in love. As I watched all of this happen I questioned whether or not, if placed in her shoes, I would freak out a little. I mean seriously? I might have been a little suspicious to say the least. Especially since she knew he was on a competing drama team and he could simply be playing her to win regionals. If some random dude popped out of nowhere and tried to start conversation while he's uncomfortably close to my face I might panic a little. On top of that, if grabbed my sheet music and went to the piano and asked to sing a duet to a very romantic song, I would probably tell him to go away and leave me alone. That's a little creepy. I'm sorry. I don't think that's a proper way to introduce yourself to someone. I definitely fall head over heels with him either. I would be like "uh, could I have my sheet music back?". He was also incredibly narcissistic and self important, which for me is a turn off. He could have at least asked to see the sheet music instead of ripping it out of her hands. And he could have gently and politely invited her to join him on the piano. Then maybe I would consider going on a date with him. So overall, he needed to be polite and respectful. That's all I have to say.
