The First Date


When it comes to the first dates what could it mean? It could mean the chance to meet someone special. Special like a lifetime long friend someone you just couldn't imagine yourself being with but someone you'll have a great understanding with. It also could mean a quick one niter under the sheets, 'hit and forget it", but me the first date has another meaning to it. To me it meant a new beginning to something very special, the beginning of a relationship that could lead to life, love, laughter and everlasting love.


First dates are nerve wrecking from beginning to end. It all starts out with making sure your looking your best for the date, making sure you wear the right shoes, your hair is comb just the way you like it, your breathe smells minty and that you didn't smell like you partied all night long. And for her she was looking amazing that day. She had her hair pinned up and it was slightly permed, she wore jeans with a white shirt and another shirt over it, she had some ugly white Reebok's on, but they were good for walking since we were going to the DC Zoo.


When driving to the zoo I couldn't stop but looking at how beautiful she was and how lucky I could be to be going out with such an awesome girl. Our date was the best date you could ever think of, walking and talking amongst natures beautifulest creature, being outside enjoying each others company. Had lunch near the Panda exhibit and fed birds that waited for a young toddler to drop is french fry on the ground. It was a memorable moment and little did we both know that this simple date to the zoo was going to lead to more than a simple friendship.
