Our First Date
Rexburg is such an interesting place to live once you turn 18 and are headed off to college. This was my first semester, and it was Jaymes’s first semester as well. It is kind of funny how we met and our first date because it is different than most people’s. Up here, there is a dating app called Mutual where people use it to go on dates. Luckily, we were both on the app and we both were “mutually” into each other. We began to talk on September 11, 2017. He asked for my phone number and I gave it to him. But we started talking and I remember him from the first day of class because he said that his name was Jaymes but with a “Y” in it. So, when I matched with him I messaged him saying “Oh I think we are in the same class.” So, on September 13, 2017 we went to class, separately, and he didn’t even look at me. I tried to be a little flirty, but he just got all red and tried not to pay attention to me. The end of class is approaching, and I slowly start packing up my bag. Thinking that if I went slow enough that he would come up and talk to me. But he was still packing up his things. I already unpacked and packed my stuff about 300 million times. But he was going so slow! Then I start to untangle my headphones and tangle them back together and start walking out the room slowly. He was still packing up. But once we go outside the classroom, then he almost walked past me, and I said “Hi Jaymes” and then we just clicked from that point on. We hung out at the MC, and had Mexican drinks called Jarritos, and it was just overall fun. Then when I walked him back to his 2:00 class, we were standing in the sun, and he nervously said “Hey, well do you maybe want to go see a movie later tonight? If not it’s okay, but I want to see a movie.” My heart was so nervous, I was thinking to myself “why am I getting so nervous” But I said yes, and to text me the details and I sent him my address. After a couple of hours getting ready, he showed up to my place, and he asked me what movie I wanted to see. Well I didn’t know what was playing in the theatre and this was his idea, I just said yes because I wanted to spend more time with him. So, we looked at the movie times and the closest movie time was at 9:15 for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. So, we said we would go to that one. But it was like 7 o’clock. So instead we went to Walmart to pass the time. I bought some school supplies and he just watched me. But we were playing around, and it was just a lot of fun. So, we went back to the movie theatre and the movie was so long! It went on for like 4 hours. So, then it was almost curfew and we went and parked to talk and to get to know each other better. Then he dropped me off at my house. It was a wonderful perfect date.
The Proposal
Here you can watch how the whole thing went down! Emily was told that we were going to dinner, a movie, and my aunt's house. Emily knew the moment was coming soon but didn't expect it to be at the theater. She was surprised to see that instead of a end credits scene she would get something more out of the movie!
