Corri, bf was saying that he is making a point of treating you in a gentlemanly way because of your impending singlehood. Yeah, he said it in kind of a roundabout way but I thought it was very sweet.
How about a response showing gracious recognition of his sensitivity on your part?
And then you two can go back to him dipping your pigtails in the inkwell and you kicking him in the shins.
