A Parable

A man went out of his way to win the affection of a beautiful woman. He asked the woman for an opportunity to take her on a date. She agreed. They decided that Friday would be best. 
In the meantime, he confided in a friend who told him everything he should do to make a good first impression. The man set about the task of making all the arrangements for his big day. He hooked himself up with a whole new wardrobe, got a haircut, and made reservations at an up-scale restaurant. He even scored front row seats for the sold-out concert of his favorite band. When everything was set, he was certain that he'd gain her love. 
When Friday came around, he borrowed his father’s old suped-up car, he was sure that his old beater wouldn’t impress her.  Full of pride, he rolled up in her driveway to pick her up. After a short greeting, they were on their way. As the music (he figured she might like) rang out from his play list, the two of them stared out the car window. When they arrived at the restaurant, the first thing the man did was make sure she knew just what to order. After dinner, they attended the concert, had a drink at the local pub, and headed back to her house. 
Sure that this night would end with a kiss and a guarantee of a second date, he walked her to her door and asked:
“Can I see you again?”
“See me again? Why you haven’t even seen me tonight,” she answered.
