Dear Friends,
Ladies and Gentlemen: Would you believe me if I went out on a date? I have said many times that I don’t do dates but I figured I will change that statement. I will say that after this date, there will be many more to come. I also feel like this opens the door to make new friends and also become more adventurous. So you might be wondering how it went and if I could do this with other people or with the same person? Well we are about to find out.
First, I will never go out after working. I will thank god that I was still high on adrenaline. The funny thing is that going out on a date in or around Detroit is fun and challenging because of what events are going on in or around the city. As I left work and got ready to meet my date, I was getting nervous because I never went on dates. The good thing about this is that I knew the person. I think I could never do a blind date. I know how some females are to me. So after getting ready and also getting away from downtown Detroit, I met my friend and we began to drive to where she wanted to go for our date. Please note that because of my issues with that bitch (my ex) I am not looking for a booty call or a rebound relationship. I will get on that subject in my next entry.
Second, if you want to make your date happy then let her pick the place. So we went to the drive-in to see a couple of movies. Now I know you are thinking about the misconceptions of going to a drive-in movie but I wanted to see some movies. So as we get into the place, the first funny moment of the night happens: We get lost at the drive in. You might be wondering: how do you get lost at the drive in? Well it is easy when you can’t see signs and also can’t see borders. Once we got to where we needed to go, it was smooth sailing. Now you know I don’t mention names unless I have permission or they are no longer in my life. My date is not a new person but this person I have known since high school. Many stories of my date have been told in my blogs.
Third, if you want the evening to go your way then do everything you can to not make your date hate you. I say that because I think I listen to her stories and quirky comments. Most men don’t do that but I learned doing that throughout the years with many female friends. Plus since this is someone I have not seen since high school and even before our date, we been catching up on our life experiences. I never though I will say this but my date and I been through hell and back. We both been down and up in our lives. We spent most of the time talking instead of watch the movie but we were at the drive in, so we could see the movie again later. We both learned something about each other but we also clicked.
Now I am not an expert on dating but if the night is going great then the night will end on a high note. So we talked and ate some food. We shared and confessed. This is the part where things get heated. Now my date has these eyes that could melt ice. So looking into her eyes made me feel weak and vulnerable but she was feeling the same way. Our eyes locked and we ended up sharing a kiss. I was not trying to kiss her but shit happens. As we are kissing each other, something happened that made me feel better about my life. I let go of my ex and also let go of the pain of dealing with my ex.
The night was great and things were going great. We ended up watching the movie and also spending the night together. We also spent the morning going to the riverfront in Detroit and seeing the sunrise. As we watched the sunrise, we held hands and enjoyed the sun rising over the Detroit River. Watching the sunrise in Detroit is like watching life reborn. To do this with someone special is a blessing and a bonus. So there will be another date but for now, I am basking in the glory of this great day. There will be more to come.
