Dick Winters was not a man who typically got nervous, or at least not visibly anyway. While he wouldn't have described himself this way, he'd been described by his men as a true combat leader and one of the bravest men they'd ever met. Later on in his life Dick would say he wasn't a hero but 'had served in a company of heroes'. All of this is just a way of highlighting the difference between the terror of infantry combat and asking a girl out on a date. Of the two, Dick almost preferred the former. At least that was something he understood, and was good at.
Women were a puzzle a man could spend a lifetime trying to understand.
He stood outside the pub, waiting for Amy to arrive and tried not to fidget. Sure they'd talked a few times on the network and had a good first meeting the day she'd arrived on the island, but he still had a hard time believing she'd said yes to going out. Not that he thought he was bad looking or had some kind of defect, but they were from such different times. Would a swell 21st century Scottish woman like her really be interested in a small town guy from 1940s Pennsylvania?
