Date Review

So he picked me up from campus and we drove by his barracks in southeast dc where he lives, to a salvadorian restaurant he likes that's close to there. Southeast DC is so not what i thought it was, it reminds me of a relaxed version on georgetown, little restaurants with patio sections outside, nicely dressed people hanging out or walking around after work. After dinner we drove down closer to the monuments. We walked along the water holding hands down to the WWII memorial, which is sooo incredibly beautiful especially at night. We sat down for awhile infront of the fountain that's the center of the WWII memorial. He put his arm around me and we sat cuddling for awhile just talking and taking in how beautiful everything was...super gay i know...but he was really sweet. After sitting and talking for like an hour we walked up the mall to the lincon memorial which is so overwhelming. I highly recommend seeing the monuments on a nice night instead of going during the day...no traffic, no crowds of tourists being noisy and spoiling the beauty of the monuments. We hung out in the lincon memorial for awhile, he did the cute boy thing where he stood behind me with his arms around my waist and his head on my head...and when we were walking if we let go of holding hands he would always come back and reach for my hand...i know this is super super gay, but it was really sweet and i thought it was really cute for a boy to act like that. When you stand in the lincon memorial and look down the view is amazing...the washington monument is centered to the WWII memorial, and the reflection in the pool of the washington monument is incredible.

When he dropped me off at my car we finally kissed. Wizzeak. It was just a quick good night kiss, so you cant really judge much from that. And i know that im attracted to him now...i knew that earlier in the evening tho...but i texted him today and he wrote back the cutest gayest thing ever..."Last night was amazing, I cant wait to see u agian."

I think this might actually work out really well with him at least in the short term, because he's about to get a waitering job 5 nights a week, and his weekdays are already taken up by his military work, so that would mean that both of us would only have time on the weekends. So seeing him once a week and not feeling like im ignoring him is pretty much what i want right now and that way it wont interfere with school. But im also not going to let this get too serious too fast, like trying to define it or even being exclusive. I still dont know what i want, but its nice to feel special while im figuring it out.
