I saw a young lady for the first time last week during the heavy storms in Fort Worth. About halfway through our date, she was snuggling with her head on my chest and she fell asleep for about 20 minutes.
I kept an eye on the time and just caressed her back and hair and listened to the rain outside. She woke with about 10 minutes to spare, but I would have let her sleep out the remainder of our date time if she hadn't.
I was completely flattered and happy that she was comfortable enough and felt safe enough with me to do that. I've been single for about 8 years, so having someone fall asleep in my arms like that was a very sweet and human touch that I hadn't experienced in far too long and I certainly enjoyed it as much as the rest of our date.
The young lady was, unfortunately, mortified that she had done so. I explained that I was not in the least offended, but I'm not sure she believed me. Maybe she'll see this thread and know she was appreciated.
There really is no substitute for the human touch.
