good things…

Last night was the “big night”  I’ve heard it termed as such by a few others, so I’ll use the same phrasing.  People have also been asking me for “details” so here’s what went down…

I picked Ryan up at his house at about 5:30 for our 6pm reservations.  He gave me a card and a box of chocolates, since it was the day after Valentines… I also gave him a small box of chocolates.  The car ride was OK… we chatted a little, and listened to the radio.  Dinner also was nice.  He told me I looked very nice… “as always” 😀 There were a few awkward periods when the conversation died briefly, but he was quick to try and pick it up by asking me questions… I must say I commend him for that.  When the food came, it was quiet, but that’s because you can’t talk and chew simultaneously 😛 … anyways… the check came, and I was expecting to at least pay for my meal, but then he goes and pays for the whole thing! *gasp* I figured the least I could do was leave the tip, so I did.  After dinner we went back to his house… first thing we did was check out the computer… we briefly said “hi” to a few people on IM, then we went to play pool. That turned out to be a fiasco.  First of all, as Ryan warned me before we started, the table was slightly warped.  It didn’t take long for me to figure out that there was also another problem– the room was too small for the table… my stick hit the wall everytime I had to shoot from one of the longer sides.  It didn’t help matters any that he seemed to be able to get his ball in just fine. So finally, and I swear it wasn’t on purpose, I hit the 8-ball into one of the pockets, instantly ending the game… oh darn..lol. Then we went back to the computer… we were harassed by JM, Alex, and Carlini for about 45 min. Then we went into the livingroom to watch TV. We watched the end of “Charmed” (one of my favorite shows ever!!) and after it was over, we watched the last half of “Remember the Titans” on the Disney channel.  However, while we were watching TV, we snuggled a bit and held hands, in between him getting up to chase the dog away (which was mildly annoying). Earlier in the evening we had talked about “The Perfect Score” and that it looked like a good movie, so when we were chatting after watching TV, he asked me if I’d like to go see it with him later this week. 😀   (ya know, i really think that FOD should get cute lil emoticons :-/ ) I left his house at about 10:30, completely elated.
