Gentle Ben

Sweet gentle Ben was in love.  He cherished Ms. A something fierce.  What started as a fling, has surely led to love. With each visit, he wants her more.  All he wants is for Ms. A to be happy.  He looks at her adoringly, he lets her order the pizza, and he wants to be sure to take care of her as best as he can.

The challenge with Gentle Ben?  Perhaps its maturity, age, money, or just an overriding sweetness?  He is too nice and Ms. A does not want to walk all over him like a little doormat.  She sighs as she thinks of how sweet, cute and wonderful he is to her.  But she needs a man!  She needs someone to take charge once in a while, tell her what to do, and make the plans.  Gentle Ben needs to take the bull by the horns, and not just roll around in the tall blades of grass smiling up at Ms. A.

Will someone teach Gentle Ben what to do?
