It was a beautiful spring day, finally warm enough for shorts! I texted our group chat that I was eating my sandwich outside. Much to my surprise, he came out to eat with me. We both just wanted company. We had no idea that an hour later he would decide to go for it and ask me on a date...

First date! He took me to a bistro and we talked for hours.

Warning... English Country Dancing barefoot on hardwood will give you blisters. But it's all okay if you have a boyfriend willing to carry you to your car!
