Tonight's the night. I actually went to get drinks with her earlier in the week, but that doesn't really count as a date since there were other people around. We did have some nice small intimate moments, but nothing really huge. Her head on my shoulder, her arm wrapped around mine, stuff like that.
Been talking to her a lot online for the rest of week but sadly didn't see her all that much. One of our mutual friends came by yesterday and talked to me about her. summarised: she thinks i'm boyfriend material. She came by for a quick minute yesterday as I didn't have that much time since I was at work just so we could see each other after a couple of days of not seeing each other. When I walked her out I tried wrapping my arm around her shoulder, which she answered by laying her head on my shoulder. Small little moment again, but a nice one.
So tonight I'm gonna head over there and see what the night brings us. It looks good though.
Never got around to tell how it ended. Beware, wall of text coming in.
Eventful 2 days. Including some stuff I'm not that proud of. :')
(first of, keep in mind: we both agreed to drink. It was kind of a joke between us to see who's the faster drunk. Although I already knew I was going to be the winner in that part since I'm not that used to drinking as I always have to drive)
Got to her place. Had a drink, talked for like half an hour, sitting close together on the couch. We then decided to go out for drinks. We enter a bar, and apparently there were some people there from her fraternity/sorority (I don't know which on to use since it's mixed gender). I didn't really mind so we sat with them and had some beers while I also socialized with her friends.
After around 7 beers (and already quite drunk) we decided to head out to a gin bar with just two of her friends also. Walked out hand in hand, so that was nice.
Got into the gin bar. And that's where everything happened. I was sitting on a stool and after just having sipped my gin 2 times I suddenly felt very weird. She looked at me and asked me if I'm okay and if I wanted to catch some air with her. And then, sudden blackness.
Apparently I fell of the bar stool straight on my back and laid on the ground for around a minute. I opened my eyes, and see all these faces over me, but the first I noticed immediately was hers. She was holding my hand and looked sincerely worried about me. She helped me up while somebody gave me some water. There was a couch there so I got into that, but oh boy, it wasn't over.
My mouth filled up with vommit and I knew I had to get out. I ran out, puked, and immediately felt a lot better. She came out, she wrapped her arm around mine and took care of me. We waited outside for about 15 minutes together so we were sure I was fine. She was so cool about it and reassured me that she really didn't care about it. I told her I felt like such a huge ass but she kept saying I really didn't need to. Then called a cab and went to her place.
Got at her place, brushed my teeth for like 10 minutes, and got into bed. Slept for maybe one hour. The rest of the night were some of the most intimate moments I've had in a very long time. Nothing happened really, but stuff like holding hands in bed, laying right next to each other with our noses touching each other, her head hand on my chest while I was stroaking her hair,... It's been a long time since I've felt such feelings. Afterwards I really regret not kissing her, but I still didn't really feel confident about myself after the whole vomit debacle.
We stayed in bed till 11.30am and got up. Sadly, she's been in quite a lot of pain for the past couple of days and wanted to make a doctors appointment. She already apologized in advance because she knew she knew she can be quite testy when she's sick/not well, but she promised she wouldn't take it out on me. Which she didn't. The problem was that she had a rash for the last couple of days and that it was affecting her entire upper body, mostly shoulder, side and chest area. That morning it was obvious that she was in quite a lot of pain and that she couldn't bear a lot of touching.
She made a doctors appointment for that afternoon, and went out for some food and shopping. Had fun, but it was definitely noticeable that she wasn't in her element.Every person pissed her off, but we kinda made it hilarious at the same time by cracking jokes about it. But it was obvious that she didn't feel well. And then the thing she warned me about happened, her roommate.
She warned me that once she would see us or hear us she would be with us for a long time, and so it did. She knew where we were since we had to buy dinner for the evening, so she looked us up at the store, and from that moment on she was there. We went for a drink and while there were definite nice moments between us, the roommate made it awkward for me. We then went home, and she first had to go to the doctor, which she wanted to do alone understandably. So I was sitting in the appartment with her roommate while watching some Friends on Netflix. After half an hour she returned with the news that she had Shingles. I immediately knew that the next couple of days were going to be very hard on her since it's a nasty disease, and as a result knew that this day wasn't going to go anywhere from this point on. She was in pain, her roommate was there, and the plan to watch Frozen in her bed together was also hijacked by the roommate. We then made dinner, talked for a while and I left.
She's now at home for a least a week. I already told her I could come over one day if she feels a little bit better to spoil her some and cook her dinner. She told me that it's very sweet, but it depends on if she feels a little bit better. If she's really in a lot of pain she rather wants to be alone. She reassured me it has nothing to do with me since otherwise she would say yes in an instant.
So yes, haven't seen her in 2 days now sadly, but luckily I already gave her my plans for a second date. We already talked about it before so I was kinda sure she would say yes. So I told her I wanted to take her over to my town where it's still very rural and where there are some nice desolate and calm places. Gonna grab some blankets and just go lay under the stars and enjoy the tranquility and each other's presence. Afterwards she goes home with me to spend the night, and the next morning I'm gonna take her to the forrest for a nice long walk with my dog. She loved the idea and is totally up for it.
Now just have to wait until she feels better...
