We met about... two and half years ago. He thought i was pretty, so he asked for my phone number. And I actually gave it to him. We were up all night talking. Seven hours. In two and a half years we've never once stopped talking. It's like one long, continuous conversation that lasts a lifetime.
We were on the phone about five hours that night before he actually asked me out. He kept saying that he hadn't asked anyone out in a while, and was unsure when it came to "matters of the heart." I kept hinting that if he asked me, I'd say yes. But he didn't quite get it. Then, just as I was about to blurt out "Just do it already!" ...he did it!
For our first date, we met at the mall. In the same spot where we first met. We put our cash together, and had enough money to either get dinner or see a movie. We chose movie. I don't know why, but, we saw "The Hills Have Eyes 2." Now, I'm not one to talk in a movie theater. I'm also not one to get comfortable with people very quickly. But that night, it was just us. It was so warm and comfortable. I actually laid my head down on his lap. I just stared up at him, we complimented each other's smiles. To this day, I have no idea what the movie was about.
