So on Friday, I had a bit of time between work and school because we had a reading day for my Shakespeare class. I decided to do my reading outside because it was a lovely day. As I was sitting there this guy comes up to me and says pretty much "Hi, so I never do this, but I was just sitting over there and felt like I should. I just wanted to say that you are really pretty and ask if you wanted to go out sometime." I laughed a bit at the situation - so typical BYU - and then took a brief account of my situation. I had no good reason to say no. He didn't look like a creeper and hadn't this been what I needed? Someone to make me not sit alone all weekend doing homework like has been happening. So I said "You know, I normally would say no on principle, but why not?" I gave him my phone number and we chatted for a few minutes, but then he left. He texted me a few minutes later to make sure he had the right number and then that started a bit of a texting conversation (which I am so against, but sometimes it just happens) and then I went to work.
We ended up going out on Saturday night. He doesn't have a car, so I had to drive. But He opened my door for me every time (yay for helpful boys!). Anyway, I picked him up and we went to the Malt Shoppe and got shakes and fries. This was the first time I had eaten ice cream in many weeks and even longer on the fries, but I only ate like 4 and the shake was huge, neither of us finished them. Seriously though, best shake ever. I got a pumpkin oreo shake and it was so amazing. Then we went to Comedy Sportz and that was that.
He is a really nice guy. Just got back from his mission to...drumroll please...Boise, Idaho. Which, in my humble opinion, actually earned him a lot of points. I think the highly mormon populated missions are the hardest. He has three older sisters (all married) and one younger sister and one younger brother. He grew up in San Antonio, but his family lives in Ohio now. I got a high five when I admitted that the only time I've been to Texas was for TwiCon. It was really just a fun time. I hope we get to go out again.
