So the fourth date starts with him being grilled with questions from my friends Amy and Dylan. They "just happened" to be at my apartment when he comes to pick me up. Their questions started out silly... republican or democratic, do you like basketball, how tall are you (those were Dylan's). Amy had some serious ones... and then she ended by asking him what his intentions were with me. Dang Amy... coming on pretty strong for a guy about to take me on a 4th date. His answer was perfect though, he said he wanted to be my best friend, and even asked her permission if I could. (Since she is a best friend, he thought it'd be polite to ask).
Then when they were finally done grilling him, the two of us cooked dinner together in my kitchen. I had to keep telling him how bad I was at cooking, I hated the thought of him falling for me because he thinks I can cook, because I can't. And I didn't want to lie to the poor guy. We had a blast cooking our turkey tacos, and then we decided to go to the arcade.
This was so much fun. I felt like a kid in a candy store, just having a blast with this cute boy. He would put his arm around me and we would walk around together, and I think I was smiling as big as I ever have in my whole life. At one point he was just looking at me while I fed the tickets into the machine. I said freeze which is a game he made up which means, "whats on your mind right now?" He said, "I'm just thinking about how happy you are and how cute it is!" Stop it. Did he really just say that?! How did I find myself in the middle of the cutest chick flick in the world! This guy is perfect!!!
On our way home we were playing with the finger trap we bought with our arcade points. He said something about how he doesn't need both hands to drive, so I was bold and told him I had an idea of what he could do with the other hand. I stuck my hand out and he held it. For about 2 seconds, and then used his hand to turn the steering wheel. But after that he held my hand again. We just drove home, listening to the words of the songs on the radios and found out what the deeper meaning of the song was. Holding his hand put me on cloud nine... and I couldn't imagine it could get much better... oh but it did.
When we were sitting in his car in the parking lot, he asked me what I liked about him. I couldn't have thought of a better way for him to bring up the fact that I had something for him. I told him he needed to come upstairs to my apartment so I could answer that. You see, this date was 2 days before his birthday. I love birthdays, and I felt like this thing with him was going to last, so I wanted to do something for him. But at this point, I didn't really know too much about him. I knew what color he was on the personality color test, but I didn't know his love language. So his birthday present consisted of oreos (because I knew he liked them, and that was a gift.) A gas gift card, to represent quality time (spent with me, that cute girl that lived 45 minutes away!) And in his birthday card, I wrote "24 things I like about 24 year old Joseph." (You know, in case his love language was words of affirmation.) So it was funny he had just asked me what things I liked about him, because earlier that day I had listed 24! He started to read the card out loud, but that was embarrassing for me, so I told him to read it to himself. Once he was done he just looked at me with those beautiful blue eyes. And then he closed them and leaned in to kiss me! Totally unexpected as we had just held hands for the first time, but turns out... I was okay with it!!! In fact, I kinda liked it... a lot!!! :)
