my first date

was blog walking and read about my friend went dating.

all of a sudden, i had flashbacks from my first date, back in 2008.

was it with my boyfriend? nope.

was he my crush? nope.. not that i can recall haha

he was the guy in the same class as me. Josh (not the real name), was a senior of mine because he was taking the 2 years matriculation course.

the date we had is actually for our MUET class assignment. interesting, no? i was lucky when assigned to go on a date with him. because i feel that he is experienced and is able to treat girls well.

so when the day arrived, i was pretty nervous. my room mates knew about the date, and they got me all well primped and wore the best outfit i had. i tried to keep it cool, all the way.

when i arrived at the college gate he was there already, waiting for me. we took a bus to town together. first thing we did was to have lunch.

the thing that didn't make me too nervous is that the whole class went together in pairs. it is like a class trip, only you have to stick to one person throughout the journey.

he got a place which is a bit further than the rest of our friends. while the double dates were sitting in a big group having lunch, we were on the other end of the corner having ours. "more privacy", he said. =)

just like how boys should treat their girls, i was treated the same, like a princess for a day. he pulled out my chair for me to sit *kind of embarrassing but it was really sweet of him, helped me ordered my drink, went window shopping and made me laugh, went bowling (he was pro, i lost badly), and sent me back to my hostel after that.

in class, he was rather a serious person, always the quiet one. he is smart, no doubt on that. for the maths questions that i had no idea how to solve, he knows the formula and ways to solve it. i seldom talked to him in class, but on our date, i saw a different, witty side of him. which is good, which is memorable. =)

i remembered when i was in secondary school, i often wondered when will i ever find my other half, if those baby steps towards love haven't been taken yet. dating, kissing, meeting.. those kinds of baby steps. because at school i was the serious one. as the only daughter of parents who both work at the same school, i recall that there are none who dared to approach me. i am not all pretty or brainy, and often keep things to myself.

since then, i probably loved too much all these while. i got my heart broken.. twice to be exact, promises forgotten, and scars widely opened. but i think it is okay... i just haven't met the one for me yet.

like my friend always said, "my prince charming took the wrong turn, it takes time for him to arrive here to pick me up"

yesh, he is somewhere out there. and i will be waiting, not for my first date in my life, but my first date with him =)
