Ikari Shinji.
Because you are an important person to me, and because you have an attractive figure, I would like to escort you to the upcoming dance.
While, in the absence of familiar faces, I am uncertain what manner of competition I would be facing, I would like to assure you of several reasons why I am a desirable date.
1) Even when events beyond my control forced me into a hostage situation, you were not among those I took captive. This is because of my high regard for you, and also aesthetic appreciation of you.
2) I am financially secure, and would be capable of providing material comforts and entertainments, if there are any that you desire.
3) I have a manly aroma.
4) I only narrowly lost a beauty competition with Alois, who is known to be extremely good-looking as well. (This is something all three of us have in common.)
5) My understanding of humor is progressing.
6) My beats are relatively ill.
Additionally, I am familiar with the concept of 'playing hard to get,' and I can assure you that I will be both ardent and persistent if you wish me to continue demonstrating why we should attend together.
I have advisors to appraise me of any nuances of courtship I might overlook, so I can confidently state that I will be 'smooth' as well.
