Robert and I randomly sat by each other at a campus wide RA meeting the first Friday of the semester. Then later that day in choir we got put next to each other. We enjoyed making side comments to each other periodically throughout practice. On Monday in choir he kept on turning around to talk to me. At the end of class he introduced himself to me. Clearly, he didn’t remember that we met when we were in high school and visited SBU. Right after class he added me on facebook and started writing on my wall.
On Sunday he invited me to the Landen Super Bowl party. On Tuesday he invited me to his intramural basketball game. They’re the Flying V’s. They wear v-neck t-shirts with wings coming out of the v. I didn’t say hi to him at all though. Then on Wednesday we were facebook chatting, and he said he wanted to get to know me better. Chat stopped working, and so he sent me a message with his number. We preceded to text each other that evening. The next day I went to another one of his intramural games. Afterwards we gave each other a side hug.
The next Tuesday we went to James’ concert in the Union together. On Thursday we went to the SBU basketball game together. On Friday we had dinner at Taco Bell together. Then that night we went to Aaron Hameister’s house to watch Saw VI. He touched my hand a bit. Hehe Then on Saturday he and I went to Patrick Matia and Derek Creighton’s room for visitation. We played Settlers, Monopoly Deal, and watched The Emperor’s New Groove.
On Tuesday we went to the SBU basketball game together again. On Thursday Tarah, James, Robert, and I went to Tarah’s house to make dinner and play a game. I took Robert back to Landen, and as we were sitting in my car Derek came up and said that he’d just follow me out to Tiffani’s house. Talk about bad timing. After sitting in my car in silence for what felt like an eternity Robert said, “I just want to come on out a say this, and it might make you feel uncomfortable, but I really like you a lot. I enjoy spending time with you, and I want to keep on getting to know you better. I’m not looking for anything serious right away. We can take things slowly, but I just wanted you to know what my intentions are.” I responded with, “I appreciate your saying that. The feelings are definitely mutual, and I want to spend more time with you too.” Then we shared an awkward car hug.
Friday he came to Elise’s house to play Scene It and watch Baby Mama. We sat on the love seat together, and he touched my hand again. Then we hugged outside. On Saturday I watched Princess Bride and played Monopoly Deal with him in the office while he worked. We hugged again. Then that night we went to Maupin to watched Enchanted with Patrick. He definitely held my hand (just a few fingers) and put his arm around my bent knee on the couch. We hugged in the car, and I acknowledged the awkwardness that is a car hug.
Sunday we went to a gas station to get coffee and then drank it while swinging in the lawn and garden section of Wal-Mart. Then he totally touched my hair.
On Monday we went to the Java Station. He paid! He told me he wouldn’t date me if he knew he couldn’t marry me. Then we texted later, and I learned he’s kissed girls before.
It’s so amazing to know that he thinks I’m beautiful, smart, and funny. I just want to see him every day!
