We met each other working together, we started out as colleagues and became friends. As we got to know each other and communicate we became closer with each other. That friendship started to blossom and become more each time we would see each other.
As our friendship grew stronger we realized that we found a piece of ourselves in each other. He asked if I was interested in going to a concert with him and his friends, I’m happy to say that yes was the best decision of my life. We spent the concert bonding over the music and the experience around us, at that moment I knew I felt something special for him.
Shortly after our first date we made plans for a second concert date a week later, just the two of us. We had the time of our lives and felt like teenagers again, in that moment we were free together. It was towards the last part of the concert when we held hands and I thought my heart was gonna leap out of my chest. We didn’t stop holding hands until we got to the car after the concert was over.
After a long week with work, we opted for a movie night together. We went and got our movies snacks and something to eat and then I let him choose the movie. I’m not the biggest fan of scary movies and kind of a chicken when it comes to jump scares. It being spooky season, a spooky movie seemed like a great idea. I spent half of the movie hiding behind his shoulder and using him as a human shield. By the time the movie was over I was sure he was the one, he didn’t make fun of me and even moved so I could hide better during scary parts.
After movie night, we spent time together every day. We talked as much as we could throughout the day and always wound up together by the end of it. We went on drives, and wound up places we probably shouldn’t have been. We talked for hours about anything and everything that came to mind, we found comfort in having a special bond and a strong emotional connection with each other. I knew my answer before he asked me out, I was hoping he would ask, but too chicken to ask myself.
