Hypothetical Date Situation that I Would Adore Sharing with Someone That I Wrote in a Fit of Yearning #7
We go into the city and walk along the canal. We admire all the flowering trees and some adorable ducklings with their mother. I beg them to stop and get bubble tea with me. They order something boring, which I tease them for. They find it just as weird that I would like cold matcha milk tea with red beans. Next we wander around some more. We go into a quaint bookstore and browse forever. Most of the books are used, so we decide to sneak a message into a copy of our favorite story. â And dear reader, may you love this adventure youâll take as much as I adore my darling.â I buy them as many books as they want, even though that means I donât have enough money to buy any myself. They promise to let me borrow the books after they are done reading so that we can talk about them. We go into a small boutique and we try on so many beautiful things that we know we canât/shouldnât buy. We giggle at how we look. Itâs like something out of a shopping montage in a cheesy movie, but itâs so fun in the moment. Weâve wasted hours by normal standards, but I wouldnât dream of spending them any other way.
Me at 2 AM: Okay, I am just going to look up this one thing and then I'm going to bed because I'm tired
Me 6 Hours Later:*Now knows everything about damselflies and only finally decides to go to bed when their parental unit who works a night shift gets home and startles them out of their hyper-fixating induced haze-*
Hypothetical Date Situation that I Would Adore Sharing with Someone That I Wrote in a Fit of Yearning #6
We bike down a back road in the middle of nowhere during fall to admire the leaves. (this hypothetical road is based on one by my house that I have biked many times) We are going pretty slow because weâre not very athletic. We are talking so much that we start to get out of breath. We stop to take a break on a bench overlooking the lake, the view is wonderful. I have a basket on my bike, so I brought snacks, probably granola bars and dried papaya. After sitting and eating for a little while, we bike a little further to a really old cemetery. All of the graves are from the 1800s, which we both find kind of crazy. They are getting a little chilly because it's a breezy autumn day, so I give them my cozy flannel. We wander around the small graveyard looking at the names and the ages of the people who once were. Speculating about how they lived and their experiences. We know all of them had stories. Then we go back to our bikes, where I have one last tiny surprise for them. I brought some hot cocoa in a thermos for us to share. A great fall day.

I love them so much-
Hypothetical Date Situation that I Would Adore Sharing with Someone That I Wrote in a Fit of Yearning #5
A Very Simple Date Idea: I go to their house, make them tea and cookies. Weâll talk for a little bit. Then we just take a nap together. If they canât fall asleep, I would sing them lullabies softly. I want to hold them and feel so safe. Being vulnerable is hard and I sleep weird, but like that sounds so nice. If I woke up before them, I would never have the heart to wake them or move. Maybe, Iâd just sit there and play with their hair or whisper sweet nothings to their sleeping self. Just being together with someone, hmmmm
