Casseroles, Romances, and Love

In a Florida retirement community, many single women deliver casseroles to widowers. Their hope is to get a date. If it works for women, can a man do the same? Widowers, Fred Jones, Adam Carlson, and Logan Hart understand the casserole parade. Their friend, Paul Owens, loses his wife and they give him a warning. "Expect a stream of women to deliver casseroles to you." Paul ignores what his friends tell him until he receives the first casserole. They keep coming and he wants the deliveries to stop. Frustrated, he asks his friends for advice. Their suggestion is for Paul to date one of the women who has delivered him a casserole. Confused, Paul wants to know why they want him to date? Fred, Adam, and Logan explain that if he dates, women will stop bringing him casseroles. They share how they're in romantic relationships. Paul considers their suggestion, but he isn't interested in the women bringing him a casserole. He wants to meet and date Rachel Moore, the widow, living in his neighborhood. He takes Rachel a casserole, hoping she'll date him. After delivering her many casseroles, Paul becomes discouraged and disappointed because Rachel shows no interest in him. How many casseroles will he have to deliver before he gets a date?
