He also would not let his agonized decision over what to say to her effect his proposal to ask her to go on a date with him. Despite spending most of the summer debating on whether or not he should ask her out, he inevitably asks her out while she is playing a game of baseball with her family. This is a very good example that portrays why you should listen to your heart and not to your brain. .
             Everybody has done foolish nonsense in their lives. For the teenage boy, this included cutting the fishing line that had a colossal fish on the end of it.
