My first thought when I saw this at the top of the thread was, "oh good". I've been wondering when date night was. I was just wanting a snack popcorn sounds great.

From the supermarket checkout lane...to long goodnight kiss(es)!

After nearly three weeks of build up, several long conversations, and a few flirty texts, date night finally arrived!

In my old-fashioned style, I had picked up the phone and formally asked her if I could pick her up for our date, she said yes. So, at 7pm tonight I drove two blocks, walked nervously to her door and knocked. She invited me in for a moment, she looked beautiful in a patterned skirt and top with denim jacket. We talked for a few in her kitchen, then left for a small, out of the way Italian restaurant with a quiet, romantic atmosphere.

We talked for an hour before even remembering to order our dinner. The conversation came easy. We each ordered some red wine, and just talked. About life, kids, dreams, bucket lists, etc. After the meal we each enjoyed an after dinner drink. We didn't want to end the night there. So we headed a block down to the local Irish Pub, where we sat at the bar, ordered some red wine, and talked for another two hours. We even chatted with the bartender a bit, who just happens to be getting married in a few months and found our story very romantic.

After a cold walk to the car, we enjoyed a nice long conversation as we sat stopped by a train for fifteen minutes. She was throwing some "kiss me" hints as we sat, but the conversation didn't feel right, so I waited. We pulled into her driveway, where we sat in the old minivan and talked for another 30 minutes. There was to be no walking her to the door tonight as she was entering through her garage. So I simply asked her if it would be ok to kiss her right there, and we shared a short peck, followed by two longer, slower kisses. (I rushed the delivery a bit :) But she didn't get out of the car, but rather we talked some more. We set up our next date, a night-time flashlight corn maze and bonfire. We shared two more slow kisses before we finally parted ways for the evening. Sigh.

So I got home, and realized I had never told her that she looked nice. So, I sent her a quick goodnight text telling her I had a great time, and that she looked really nice tonight. She replied that she had a great time too.

There were a lot of laughs shared...and I had quite a few more when I got home and saw this thread

Thanks everyone for sticking with my story, goodnight!

I just read this whole thread, and for once, I'm glad I came to the party late! I got to read from check-out line to date in one setting!

This is such a wonderfully sweet thread. To someone that has completely sworn off dating, it is refreshing to live vicariously through traildad.

Soooooo, when is the corn maze and bonfire date???
