This post is inspired by the fantastic first date I had on Tuesday night and the perma-grin I have had glued on my face ever since…
10) you have to go to the bathroom so bad but don’t want to miss a beat of conversation; so by the time you finally go you can barely walk and hope he doesn’t notice that you look like his great aunt Bessie waddling.
9) while securely in your stall you give a large fist pump and mouth “YES!”
even though you are in a college town and therefore 15 size-four-21-year-old’s walk into the bar you’re in, your date doesn’t bat an eye as he continues to look only at you.
7) your cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling so much.
6) the only time you look at your watch is to pray the night isn’t over yet.
5) the only time he looks at his phone is when he gets a text message from YOU while he was in the bathroom. He says nothing as he reads it. Just smiles a huge smile and leans over to give you a kiss.
4) even though you have only just met and been together for no more than three hours, you already have inside jokes.
3) the “good night kiss” at your car takes your breath away.
2) once at home he writes the sweetest message to you on your Facebook wall. For all the world to see and admire.
1) you don’t need to look at any of these “signs” to realize this was The Best First Date Ever because you already know in your gut that it was. And you can’t wait for the next one.
I have no clue why #8 is a smiley dude. I tried to fix it but he wants to stay. So stay he will. But really, it’s #8
Yay! Good top ten list, and smiley dude is good – the whole list made ME smile! Love those types of first dates, only had a few in my entire life and they all had good endings. Good thoughts your way…
Man, there is nothing better than a great first date.
there’s another one you can add to that list. ok. two, because it’s me.
#11 – he WANTS to learn how to dance so he can whirl you around like the other couples. “how do we do that turn?!”
#12 – when the pole dancers start (when did they put poles in there?!?!) he looks at you and says, “so are you ready to go sing karaoke now?”
my dance teacher’s wife gave him 5 whole brownie points for that last one.
yes dear, there’s an email coming your way.
Awesome! Can’t wait to hear about it Zegs!
