Well, it has been awhile now hasn't it? But the time has come for an introduction of a new player in the Dating Battle Stories of my life....
so without further ado let me introduce:
Monkey Man. (ps thanks to beckybob for the 'nym!)
Monkey Man is in my ward (yes that does bring the current number of NAMED crushes on this blog from my ward to three. I'm a player, it's okay.). He helps organize/attends game nights that are sometimes held after ward prayer. He's a complete sweetheart and very genuine.
There's a little background - but now for the fun part. the STORY!
I was sitting at home Saturday night, not doing much of anything, when Monkey Man called me. I figured he was calling to see if we were going to do a game night the next night, but I was wrong! Instead, he asked me if I was available on Wednesday night. Fortunately, my plans were changed and I was in fact available! He asked if I'd like to go on a group date w/him to carve pumpkins and play Xbox Kinnect. I said yes, and so now he's picking me up at 7pm tonight.
BUT WAIT! That's not all folks!
Last night for FHE the plan was to meet at the church and then go from
there to a corn maze at Thanksgiving Point. We're standing around
outside and Monkey Man and I are standing by each other just chit-chatting
and the opening prayer is said and THEN it's time to carpool up...so I
say "I have room for 4 in my car!" and Monkey Man turns to me and says so
fast "I'm coming with you!" and i was all "sweet!" and then my car filled
up with three other girls from the ward and off we went!
So we get to the corn maze and Monkey Man and I are waiting for the rest
of the ward to show up and it was MUCH colder than I had anticipated
(i.e. i didn't bring gloves or hat and all i had was two lightweight
sweatshirts to keep me warm). So I lean into into Monkey Man and tell him
he's going to have to keep me warm and he says, "only if you keep me
warm too!" so then we get our wristbands, I chit-chat with the bishop
for a moment about some concerns (YAY for being the RSP ha ha ha) and then I skip
over to Monkey Man and we start walking towards where the corn maze is at.
Here's the thing about the
Thanksgiving Point corn maze - there are a
TON of fall activities to do besides the corn maze. lots of fun things.
So we're walking across the field and Monkey Man leans in and says "I'm going
to hold your hand to keep mine warm okay?" with a cheesy grin on his
face. ha ha ha. I say okay and off we went! we held hands the entire
night. There were times where we'd let go of hands to do something, come
back to standing by each other and HE would grab my hand again. it was
adorable. So....I like him - which is funny because
the like/crush sort of came out of NOWHERE. but last night...it was so
fun. :o)
My other favorite thing is that he made it clear last night that he is going to come and pick me up - he's not having me just meet him at his place. This is a BIG deal to me and has been a sore spot in past relationships that I have been in.
So. There you go. The newest player in this game/war of love that I'm very involved in right now. ;) I promise to give as many details as I feel like after the date tonight. he he he he
