I courted wifey.
Yup, that’s right. Courted. Not took her to court. Courted. Pursued. Persistence.
I did my homework. Full out investigation. Analyzed details. Checked her out.
I eased my way into it. Took my time. Stickie notes, letters. Did the little things like buy the original CD that her favorite song was recorded on.

Nothing overly bearing.
And then when it was time to make my move, I man’ed up and went for it. Why? It felt like the right time.
