Jared and I met freshman year of High School. We had mutual friends but didn't actually start hanging out until the end of our Sophomore Year. The Infamous First Date: Like most first dates they are awkward, uncomfortable, and exciting all at once! Our first date started with Jared picking me up from my home (and of course meeting my family). He came inside to an entire room of people eagerly awaiting his arrival. My dad decided to break the ice as any dad would with a dad joke. "Jared, what is your favorite flower?" Jared, unsure of where this was going answered "Sunflower". Then my dad proceeded with "What would you do if someone crushed your Sunflower?" Jared now scared to answer... My dad goes" well Sky is my little Sunflower so you better treat her right". Once we (finally) made it to Chili's we talked, about everything. It was a giant word vomit! I told him absolutely everything! Once he dropped me back off at the house, where my family was waiting to hear all of the details. I told them very confidently, that we had successfully scared him off and that I would never hear from him again... HA! I was wrong! I woke up the next morning to a text thanking me for the date and asking for date number two. Spoiler I said Yes ;)
