I had a great date last night!
Finally a happy post about my personal life! Its gonna be under a read more because of the length.
So I had class like normal but it was interspersed with little text messages that made me smile. They were from a guy a friend of mine introduced me to him but we've only ever texted each other. The two of us have been texting for about a few days (maybe like 3 days at the most) and I learned a lot about him. His name is Patrick Austin, he was in the air force, and he got his first job thanks to his friend. That’s only to name a few of what I learned.
After those texts, I asked if we could meet and well, one of my days off was a Tuesday night. So we planned it and somehow throughout the planning, it became a date. I was perfectly fine if he only wanted to meet me and be friends but he wanted to plan and pay for everything that we’d do when we meet. We both even agreed that we’d dress up for each other. I do like him a lot and throughout our messages, I realized now that we've been flirting like hard core. The sad thing is that I didn't even realize that I was flirting with him.
Anyway, in the hours counting down to the date, I was full of nervous energy but I was also excited. I had a crush and I finally get to meet him! The day passed in a bit of a blur but once class ended for me at 3:40 pm, I was rushing to my dorm to get ready. 20 minutes later, I get a picture from Patrick of a parking meter and him saying how much he hates them. It was then I found out that he’s already at my dorm to pick me up. We kept texting as I got ready and when I finished, I walked outside with butterflies in my stomach and excitement in my movements.
I’m not sure what year it was, but he was driving a dark green Buick and he was handsome in his black button up shirt, dress pants, and dress shoes. I’d post a pic of him but I was too distracted to take a real picture of him besides on snapchat for my friend. *coughcoughamporaimpalacoughcough* In addition to him being well dressed, he was also such a sweet gentleman to me. Opening doors for me, letting me say my input into the conversation, making me feel comfortable with him. It was everything that I actually pictured to have as a first date with anyone.
We ate at a restaurant called Tsunami and had Vietnamese (me) and Japanese (Patrick) food. Our conversation came easy to us. I don't remember a moment at all where we were both just quiet in awkward silence. We even came to the topic of bad jokes and puns where we told the other our horrible jokes and laughed at them. With me being in a public space, I had to stifle all my laughs because i didn't want to disturb anyone else's meal. Then he gave me a choice of what we could do after our meal. We could go bowling/mini golfing or we could walk around downtown in some of the parks of Bowling Green (the town where my university is located).
Plot twist: We actually went to both because I told him that I really didn't know Bowling Green at all. So we went to downtown and walked around the park as we kept talking. The park was beautiful by the way especially when the sun was going down. And we stopped by a restaurant to ask about his car if it would have been towed or get a ticket. But as I used the restroom, he used that opportunity to ask the workers there for directions to get to another place he wanted to take me. In the park, we talked and talked until it was dark enough for him to take me to the other place.
The other place turned out to be a beautifully lit wooden bridge that had color changing lights at the entrance of it. If I took pictures on my phone, they wouldn't have done it justice to the aesthetics of the place. I had to literally fold my arms to myself to keep from jumping Patrick and kissing him at that point. We talked more and shared more about each other while at the bridge before going into his car again to play indoor mini golf at a bowling alley. But first I wanted to use the batting cages just for the hell of it and cause I was full of nervous energy. i ended up giving him a small kiss on the corner of his cheek and mouth when we got back to the car but i really wanted to kiss him more.
After the batting cages, we did mini golf without keeping score because I knew I'd fail even the most simple hole there. We were acting like idiots with each other and I think around the 8th or 9th hole... I kissed him. Like full on, lip on lip action. I don't really remember what made me want to do it but I did it and he kissed back. Then throughout the rest of the mini golf we were (or should I say I was) distracted by the other. But it had to end sooner or later and we got back into his car and he drove me to my dorm on campus.
Once we parked, I told him that I really didn't want to leave and end the date. He told me that he didn't either but he had to be a gentleman throughout the whole date. It was me that moved first again for a kiss. He immediately kissed back and I didn't want to stop at all. Just like in books ore in movies, it felt like it lasted for hours when really it was a couple minutes. We had to end it at some point so like the gentle man he was, he opened my door, gave me a hug, (I kissed him one more time) and he texted me when I was in bed saying that he was still in the parking lot because his mind was totally blank because of me. We ended up texting until I accidentally fell asleep on him. I'm embarrassed to admit it but that's exactly what I did to him.
Well, that's my story of how I think my date went. I really liked it and I really like Patrick. We're facebook friends and now I really want to see him again/be with him. I'm not going crazy about him am I?
