First date - a husband’s perspective
Posted: Sun Jul 16, 2023 4:06 am
As we drove to the meeting place, Smexy asked me if I wanted to call it off. We were 10 minutes from our destination and my reply was a firm “no”.
I was very comfortable with her meeting someone new and going on an afternoon date with him. It was hard to contain my excitement but I did my best to exude a calm, coolness about what was about to happen.
After parking the car, we both got out and I immediately began walking toward the crowded market. As I got close to the doors, I glanced behind me and was shocked to see them walking together not far from where we parked.
Instead of going inside the building, I went around the corner to the outdoor vendor area. I watched from a distance as they entered the building together.
For the next two hours I walked around the adjacent park. I stopped numerous times and sat under shade trees to escape the moon hour sun. My mind was racing the entire time. What were they doing? What were they talking about? We’re they still inside or did they drive off to our hotel together?
It was the longest hour of my life but I decided to ask her how it was going. To my expectation, there was no reply. I knew deep down she had her phone put away and was focused solely on him.
About 30 minutes after my message was sent, she replied with a brief “good here” and a thumbs up emoji.
Another 15 minutes passed and she said she was back at our car. He had to go get some things done at work before heading home.
The drive back to our hotel was quiet to start with. As we entered the freeway, she commented on how enjoyable it was to finally meet him in person and how they sat and talked about literally everything while having lunch.
It wasn’t until later that she provided a few more details about their two hours together and I felt my heart skip a few beats.
