So I see her handful more time, I think two or three times, and we talk a little but nothing really super.
I had told my sister that I liked her, and wanted to see her more at these things so I could end up asking her out.
My sister tells me that she is most likely not going to see these friends anymore now that she has moved a full 15 miles from where she was living and good luck with trying to met Kristin
So 2 weeks go by and I don't see her, and then my sister tells me she is going be at the dance tonight, and that she was wondering if I could make Kristin and some of these other friends a CD for her. So I was excited to go to the dance. I saw her, and had a slow song with her. We had an ok talk. I felt as though I was asking all the question, she didn’t really say anything, or ask about me.
I told myself, after the dance when I give her the CD I will ask her out. Well the dance was going to an end and she was talking to this good looking guy when I last saw her. My sister wanted to go home right away instead of going out with these girls I had made the CD for. So I say to myself, well I guess it wasn't meant to be. And she will get her CD some other way.
I have given 2 of girl the CD in person, but never saw Kristin. I told my sister on the way home, how about you call her and ask her if I can talk to her. She agrees, and I get to talk to her. I told her I would leave her CD for her at the girls house that she carpool with (this house is 2 miles from mine). And then said, I would like to take you out. How do you feel about food? At a really nice restaurant, my favorite restaurant; Patrick David’s in Danville, California! She tells me sure, I just don't know when I am working next week, let me get back to you. You can get my number from Dawnette.
So on Sunday I text msg her and asked when would be good for her. She replied with Monday would be good. She had that evening off. I was thinking. OK tomorrow. I agreed, and she asked what to wear for this nice restaurant. I told her in a text to dress nice, but warm. She replied with, 'Oh so I don't need to wear a gown or anything, just a nice skirt' I replied with 'if you wear a gown I will wear my tux!' She said, 'if it is nice enough place lets do it!'
Patrick David’s is a nice place, but I am not sure it is a Black Tie affair kind of place. Very few things are. But I figure, hey it would be fun to be dressed up!
So my sister and I go over to Kristin friend’s house to drop off the prom dress my sister had. Kristin seems a tad nervous about wearing a fancy dress out. I told her I promise her that she would have fun! And that if she didn't I would give her a thousand dollars. Were upon her friend said 'you better make sure you have a horrible time!'
So it is a Monday nite, and NOTHING is happening on Monday near Danville, no plays, no musical performances, no comedy clubs. I felt like maybe this date was going blow. I finally came up with some plans for after dinner, I got my car all clean up, and I bought her a Corsage and myself a Boutonniere. White flowers with purple ribbon. I also got her a balloon with a little note that said "I am here to pick you up!" and a small set of purple flowers.
I went to pick her up at 6:30 to make it for dinner at 7pm. She looked breathe taking. I placed the Corsage on her, and she put on my Boutonniere. We then got in the car and took off for dinner.
On the way there we had some very good conversation. No moments of silence, just good constant conversation. I said some smooth lines; lines of which I never seem to be able to recall when I am in the moment. I said; 'back in the old days, purple was only warn by royalty, and tonight is no exception! You will truly be treated like the princess you are, and if I am in anyway not treating you like a princess, please give me a glair or a naug, and I will joyfully correct myself. I really enjoyed the ride with her to dinner. I asked her if she wanted to know what we were doing or if she like me to surprise her. She had the most beautiful smile as she said 'I think tonight I would like surprises!' I smiled back and was really thrilled to hear that.
We arrive to Patrick David’s on time and get a booth. The food was GREAT. We started off dinner with a prayer together. A blessing both on the food and on our evening. I had her say it, and she later told me she was very impressed that I would want to say a prayer together before a date. We had wonderful conversation about our beliefs (we are both LDS) and about life in general. The food was excellent and the conversation was insightful and funny.
After dinner we went up to the Blackhawk Plaza; an upscale shopping center that never really made it. We talked and walked around the fountains, and looked in at the car museum that was there, and even spoke about going there sometime together. She talked about how she enjoyed the elegance of the night so far, and how it was truly a wonderful evening so far.
We walked back to my car after 20 mins of being in Blackhawk plaza and went down to my friend’s house real fast so I could use the restroom. He has a brand new BMW 545i that we all went for a short ride in. We drove around the really expensive neighborhood of Diablo. A place where homes cost 2 million plus! So after 20 mins with my buddy, she and I took off to an office that I do computer work for. In the parking lot, I put down my top and told her 'Since we all dressed up, I can't imagine not dancing!' I had pre-selected 3 songs to dance with her in this parking lot. We had a great conversation, and she told me that I had done everything right. She then added that this had been the best date she had ever been on.
After our dance, we went into the office where we watched a Simpson’s episode while we played a game call Othello. A game I have only played online. It was real fun and we both one once in our two games.
It was 11:15pm and I thought it was time to call it a night. I drove her home Took a quick picture of us together all dressed up, and walked her to the door. At the end of the date I shake hands, and said goodnight. I liked that we shake hands instead of a hug, or even a kiss. It was a perfect way to end the evening.
