This man knows me well and the regular dinner and a movie date is not for me. We got some time off last Saturday and decided to go with an afternoon date so we would get home in time to snuggle up, after the kids where in bed, and watch an episode of our favorite show together. I would take an hour on the couch watching our show together over two hours in a movie theater any day.
Talking is largely what our dates are all about, uninterrupted talk time! No censoring it for little eager ears who don’t need to know everything yet and no being interrupted by chatty little attention hogs. The eager ears and attention hogs happen to be the same four kids.
Our date consisted of going to a tea shop and picking out some new flavors (we are both big tea drinkers). This took plenty of time, pomp and ceremony really, and we really cherish having enough time to fuss at a fuss kinda shop. He does the smelling (since I can’t) and I do the reading and humming over the styles of tea. We walked up and down the mall after that just to talk and hold hands.
We drove across the city so we could continue our conversation and then he took me out to WOK BOX. I just can’t move past this simple little chain restaurant, there is so much to like about it. Fast, fresh, noodles and loads of veggies. Mostly I can’t get over their sauces and tofu! It ain’t fancy but he knows it makes me smile. We laughed and teased and sucked up our noodles like a couple of teenagers.

When it was time to go home he let me drop him off and take our sitter, my sister, out to a movie! Ha ha ha, this may sound like a rip off to some or very unromantic to others but he knows I need away time, girl friend time and me time and that took years to teach him. He knows I will be home around ten, just in time for tea and our show. He knows he makes me so darn happy because we aren’t overly clingy with our time and yet totally into one another still.
He is such a prize!
