How It All Began

Right Swipe

So we meet on a dating app. Nate messaged hi and the went silent and didn't reply to her message. This happened 2 more time. On the third time I gave him a lil piece of my mind for just saying hi and never responding. Guess who replied back. After a few weeks of talking on the app and then the phone Nate finally asked Tonya out on a date. 1/20/2018 One for the books! This was our first date. Nate really took time and thought out a plan for this date. He picked me up at 2pm I believe. We went to the Peoria Riverfront museum and spent several hours there looking at all the exhibits and being big kids in the kids zone. We then went to dinner at Texas Road house. We talked so long I think the waitress thought we were moving in. we then went to 8-Bit a local bar with vintage arcade games. we played several different games. About 2am Nate took me home. A 12 hour date definitely one for the books. NEXT DAY So on our first date I had told Nate that I had a date with someone else the next day. wanting to be completely transparent. He understood, however, we texted all day the next day and was even texting during my date which didn't last very long I left my house at 6 and was back home by 830. Nate was hanging out at his friend Clint's house and messaging me. Clint's wife Bonnie was curious and asked Nate if we were like officially dating. He told her no but he needed to clarify somethings. So he called me up at like 10 at night and was like so I didn't really care for you being out on a date with someone else but I understand because we never discussed being exclusive. But now I want to. how would you feel about being exclusive and being my girlfriend. I laughed and told him sure. So because Bonnie bugged him he stepped up and officially asked this girl to be his. who knows how long that might have taken with out her. lol

For all the days along the way
