But as one woman unfortunately learned on Monday, a man who decides to do the Texas two-step and electric slide away from your side as a foul ball screams toward you into the stands is far from a dream date.
In one of the funnier foul ball mishaps I've seen, a woman named Sarah was struck with a foul ball at the Houston Astros game after her male companion named Bo ducked out of the way.
As most of the blogosphere is noting this morning, chivalry is officially dead.
After all, if a man can't abide by the simplest rule of a baseball date — don't let your company get hit by a foul ball — what hope can women hold for things like flagging down the beer vendor or having their scorecard kept when they head to the ladies room?
On the bright side, Sarah's only injury was a bruise and Bo's strict interpretation of the term "dodgeball" earned the couple a lighthearted moment in the spotlight. Sarah later told the Astros television reporter that she, unlike her boyfriend, saw it coming:
"As soon as we got here and I saw where we were sitting, I said 'Baby, I'm going to get hit," Sarah said. "He said, 'No, you won't. I'll catch it if you do.' We just had this conversation and sure enough, the ball comes at me. He just bailed."
So what was Bo's excuse for his comedic act of temporary cowardice? Well, he claimed to have lost Chris Johnson's(notes) drive in the lights at Minute Maid Park.
Of course he lost it in the lights. Here's hoping that the couple stopped at a sporting goods store for some eyeblack. You know, just after their postgame trip to the florist.

I'm glad most of you are on the guy's side. If it was me I would've moved (out of instinct) and expected my girl to move the other way to avoid it. Not that hard.

One of the first things My father taught me as a child never take your eye off the ball.

Instead of relying on a guy to protect her, she should have dodged it.

Just to keep it simple, this dude is a bitch who ran from a ball. It wasn't gonna hurt that bad, as evidenced by his ex-girlfriends reaction to being hit by it. Horrible.
I just hope he doesn't have a dad who was involved in his life playing catch with him and all that. How disappointed would that guy feel? "My son got scared of a fly ball and dodged it so that it hit his girlfriend on live TV. Fuck, man."
