Love....Or Confusion?

He spent a few weeks getting to know her, asking questions that would clue him in to what she might like. This girl was different. He knew that dinner at the Olive Garden, followed by a movie wouldn't entice her into spending an evening with him. As he skimmed the morning paper before settling into the crossword puzzle, he noticed an upcoming performance of the Royal Festival Dancers. "Aha!" he exclaimed. So he bought a pair of tickets for a matinee show and planned the perfect date. She would love the performance, followed by dinner at a nice, yet reasonable restaurant. There was not even the slightest possibility of failure. When he saw her in the elevator the next day, he would ask her out.
The next morning, he dressed in his best suit and followed his morning routine of getting a coffee and the paper in the lobby. She walked over and said "Good morning." After exchanging pleasantries and a little small talk, he started describing the performance to her. As he was getting to the point where he'd ask her to go, she blurted out "Oh, it's great! I saw it last week."
