So last Saturday he invited me to this lake hangout with his colleagues from his job (he's a teacher at the university he's attending and the other teachers in his department are his friends), he hesitated because he said he didn't want to overstimulate me by having like, 20 strangers surrounding me. But I told him I would be fine, but if I could bring my bsf along and he said yes.
I REALLY wanted my bsf to meet him so BAD!!! So Saturday comes, we come over to his apartment and he introduces himself to my friend and they begin talking and getting to know each other. Then we get into his car and he drives to go pick up two of his other friends. One is his best friend, so I know them, the other was a friend he worked with and I haven't met him. But he was a really funny dude!!
Then we pull up to this little local library thing because my date and his friends all wanted math books (yes they're nerds๐) so me and my friend begin walking around. But everytime we walked around, my date would pop up and go "Oh! There you guys are! Are you guys still doing okay?" Which I thought was cute haha, but he told him yeah and he'd walk off with his friends. Then he popped up again and handed me this manga and said "This has two boys kissing, I know you like that stuff, so I thought about you and there's a whole section over here if you wanna come!" So of course I headed over there with my friend and it was YAOI ALL IN JAPANESE ๐ญ๐ญ it was really awesome and I thought it was so cute that he immediately wanted to show me the yaoi books he found.
Then after a while we left and went to the lake. I met his friends, and some of them kept asking how I knew my date. He's not from my state, he's only lived here for about a year. We live in different cities, and I don't go to college so I didn't meet him at work. So of course, naturally, they were just curious. But it only made me embarrassed because I didn't know what to say!!! So I stuttered, or changed the topic, or I just said we were friends. There were two friends I did tell that I met my date through a dating app. But honestly I didn't know what to tell them๐๐ because we're seeing each other, but we're not officially dating or boyfriends. And I didn't want to overstep myself, I don't think he cared or anything but I was thinking too much about it๐
But anyway, that day came and went, his friends were REALLY cool and funny people. I got to meet his two best friends, who seemed to like me haha. One of them said they liked my name, Rhys, and said that 'Rhys' is the best way to spell that name and that they knew another guy named that and he was cool. So they liked my name and thought I was cool too lol. The other friend is autistic too, like me and my date, but they don't talk to people they don't know and so on. So during the car trip to the lake they didn't talk to me at all other than a polite hello when my date introduced me. But when I mentioned I liked YGO then they turned around and talked about it with me. And on the way back from the lake, I brought up YGO again and we talked about it until we got to their apartment and they left.
I'm glad his friends liked me! And my bsf definitely liked my date's friends and my date in general. My friend kept saying that me and my date were almost the same person lol.
And I know we are because one of his friends that met at the Rocky Horror showing was there, so I got to talk to him again. We talked about movies, and he brought up the new Odyssey movie and my brain instantly jumped to Spade Odyssey, so I looked at him and said 'Space Odyssey? You want to watch Space Odyssey?" But he said no and that he meant to Christopher Nolan movie, but then he gave me a knowing look and said "Weird that you said that... Because Mark said the exact same thing earlier, did you guys watch it or something because I think he said you guys did."
I told him "Oh, yeah.. Mark and I watched it the other day at his place. Haha, that's funny though. But yeah, sorry, Space Odyssey is one of my favorite movies so when you said Odyssey I just thought of Space Odyssey instead."
But I thought it was cute that me and my date had the exact same thought and reaction lol. He's so fucking cute I can't
I also just came back from a week long vacation trip out of town with my friends, and he wants to see me because next weekend he's going out of two to a competition. And obvio I want to see him too lol. But I got him a bunch of stuff from my trip and I REALLY want to give it to him...
So I'mma see him tomorrow!! I can't wait GODDDD I miss him so much...
I got him a The Wind Rises DVD because that's his favorite movie, I got him Arcane S1 deluxe version or whatever DVD also because he loves Arcane as well, then I got him this mood changer heart locket with an axolotl on it because I thought it would be cute (even though he doesn't wear jewelry), and this Elden Ring manga because he LOVES Elden Ring, then two cat keychains that were super cute cuz he loves cats, and I got him this tiny basket with little Mexican tools inside for decoration, and an even smaller basket full of pan dulces because I'm Chicano and I really wanted to give him something from my culture, then lastly a parrot magnet and a sugar skull magnet too.
Oh and I got this greeting card made from this small artist at this mall I went to that said "IDK why but I saw this and thought of you", so of course I had to get it and I did drawings of him inside it since he really likes my drawings. Before I forget too, I also got him this cute kitty patterned long sleeve button up from a thrift shop during my vacation too. It was just too cute, and I just know he'd look so cute in it!
That's everything I got him... I kinda wish I bought more, but I didn't know what else to buy him lol. I really, really hope he likes what I got him... I keep second guessing myself, but my bsf keeps telling me that he'd LOVE it and be so happy. And tonight I plan on making a small portion of arroz con leche since it's lowkey my specialty, and I wanted to make him something from my culture.. I even bought almond and coconut milk to use since he's a vegetarian, and he doesn't drink milk either. I won't put a lot of sugar either since he doesn't really like sweets that much either... Ughh, I just miss him and I'm so obsessed with him, I just want to show him that I care and that I like him. Even though he knows I like him because I told him I did haha... Idk, I'll see how tomorrow goes. Hopefully it goes well and he loves my gifts!!
