The First "Real" Date

The first date was spontaneous and the first "real" date, as it was referred to, took some planning on my part. She implored me to "surprise" her and since we were on her turf, I didn't really have a surprise in me. She had mentioned something in a text message to me that morning, and an idea for a story quickly developed. I sat down, let the creativity flow, and wrote a fairy tale just for her. One serious character flaw that I have is that I am early for just about everything. I kept hearing the song "First Date" by Blink-182 in my mind on my way down there. "In the car I just can't wait to pick you up on our very first date." I picked her up at her house, and we quickly decided on dinner and a movie. On the way to our destination, she asked me if I wanted to take the scenic route and I quickly chose that option. I love traveling the back roads, especially in places I have never been. You get to see so much more. It was raining, she pointed out some of the local scenery, and it allowed me to spend time with just her. We picked a movie, we picked a restaurant, and away we went. The choice in restaurant and movie were hers and excellent choices they were. I think we both needed a night out and we kicked back and just let the evening come to us. There were only about 3 or 4 couples down thirty rows in front of us so we practically had the place to ourselves. Think "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" by Journey. It was a great night but all things end eventually. I am just sorry this one had to.
