Sometimes I dwell to much on the idea of
finishing each other’s sentences,
falling asleep so soundly next to each other
odering in dinner and Netflix,
Intimacy –
the comfort and familiarity it brings
that I forget the magic of the first dates.
Hugging for the first time,
the awkward silences between /meal/ courses,
sneaking a glance,
a long walk on one hot summer night,
the “i have wine, do you want to come up?”.
All those little surprises, the ever so-cliche
that should make every every first date the best
which has yet to come.

And no, I don’t think first dates are overrated although I can hardly remember mine.
Though I haven’t had a chance to date someone but I get how it feels to be on a date with someone!

Well some first dates are better than the others but they’re all worth efforts. Enjoy 😌
