Where Did You Meet?

He interned where I worked.

Describe Your Date

Nervously, I agreed to a date that he was planning. I really liked him and was just looking forward to spending time with him. The day before our scheduled date, he texted me with a meeting spot to have lunch in town and a time. From there he told me we were driving a bit south to go to the Florida Aquarium (of which I had never been). It was pouring rain and we laughed and talked the 2 hour drive down and had to seek shelter out of the rain in a little art boutique once we got there. We went to the aquarium and looked at everything and just enjoyed being together. He opened doors, smiled and payed complete attention to me. At one point, he nervously put his arm around me and it was complete comfortableness. The drive home was twice as long, but flew by because there was never an awkward moment. It ended with a plan for another date and a simple good-night kiss. It was amazing.
