Your a lucky man!!!!

Wouldn't bother me a bit. Like others have said, that shows trust.

Default Co-pilot

Keep your options open. Fly as many others as you can get your hands on. Don't sell yourself away too cheaply. An extended trip with her will reveal details about her that you would have never imagined otherwise. Did she snore into the headsets? Check out her mother for a quick snapshot of her in fifteen or twenty years. (Yes, they do go by). Remember that once the papers are signed, what once may have been a witty comment of yours will for some unexplainable reason become a rude expression. Any spirited driving or flying will not be seen as adventuresome, but rather as intolerable. It's better to fly alone than ill-accompanied. Love is more attractive a concept in theory than in practice.
And finally, the greatest of truths: Men marry women hoping they don't change, but they do... Women marry men hoping they change, but they don't.
The ideal balance is at least one in a million.... good luck, my friend.

Default cruiser snoozer

I didn't fall asleep AJ's ride is every bit as nice on the inside as it is on the outside. Very comfortable seats, pleasing to the eye with just the right amount of color variance to keep the interior from running together. Very nice plane AJ. I had a blast hangin out at the fly-in with ya. Anybody notice how small AJ's inlet air ducts are?

You know he didn't ask for her hand in marriage. It was only one little flight. Besides, he can date, doesn't have to buy!
