Date #6 (June 14th) - Cooking and XMen

You wanted to cook for my friends again. If you’re trying to make an impression, it was really working. It was very ambitious too–dumplings. So I had to step up my game and make something as well. Something Filipino. Something from home.

…Too bad I overcooked the fried rice. And I still can’t believe you liked XMen Apocalypse. That was absolute shit.

Date #7 (June 15th) - Alden + Harlow, Sinclair

No one has ever taken me out to a fancy tapas place for a date. Actually, in fact, this might as well be our very first real date. Alone. Under the pretense of…romance?

I asked you the standard dating questions that we never bothered to ask each other. You talked about your dreams: starting your own firm, or a possible PhD. I had no idea what architecture and design is all about but you made it sound so dreamy.

I told you that I was having the time of my life. You said you were having a good time. Is that it? Was it just “good”? Did I say too much?

Date #8 (June 16th) - Claypot Cafe, Double Chin

I was so nervous to meet your friends for the first time. Sober. You said they mostly talked design and architecture–all things I know nothing about. They ended up showing as a couple. Was this a double date? It was a little intimidating when you made jokes about our future.

I suppose it’s easy to make those references in front of another couple. But it’s only Day 8. Do we have a future? Is this the part where I freak out and run?

Date #9 (June 17th) - House of Blues dancing, Double Chin

We went out dancing yet again. But this time we were determined to actually remember. I don’t think we did a very good job. Someone should really take away our wallets when we drink. We are way too generous and hyped for broke college students.

Date #10 (June 18th) - Provincetown

I was so nervous for this day. I’ve never taken a trip with someone before. Especially someone I’ve just known for ten days. But there’s something about you that I trust. There’s something about you that makes me want to take risks.

I’m glad I was able to convince you to get your ears pierced. I know it’s impulsive but I wanna do so many things with you while we have the time. Time is ticking but I feel like this relationship is on triple time.
