We arrived at Denny's.

"So what do you think?" He asked

"I think this is gonna be the best date ever." I replied

He laughed.

We got out of the car and into Denny's.
The waiter sat us down and took our drink orders.

Stephen ordered a lemonade.
I ordered a milkshake even though it was 12:22pm.

"Tell me about yourself." He said, his eyes were filled with curiosity and kindness

"Well, what do you want to know?" I said, sipping on my milkshake

He thought for a moment.

"What your idea of a good conversation?" He asked

Idea? What does he mean?

"I.. like serious conversations..?"

"How serious?" He asked
He was paying a little too much attention to his drink.

Ah damnit, please don't tell me I just screwed up my date with that.
Shit.
I've gotta say something.

"Well.. I just like conversations about life." I said

He looked up.

"Oh?"
He smiled
"So do I"

THANK GOD I DIDN'T SCREW THIS UP

I smiled

"I just sometimes wonder about life too much, what's the point of thinking about if it is real or not?
I'm just wasting my time waiting for answers to my questions."

I don't know why I said that.
Maybe I just wanted to keep the conversation going.

He started to respond but the waiter appeared and asked us what we wanted to eat.

I ordered pancakes and so did stephen.

"I.... Know what you mean." He said

"I get worried sometimes that maybe I'm just wasting my life on thinking about what is real or not."

He paused

"I will stand for something but this pain and suffering, you know?" He looked at me waiting for my response

I smiled

"That's gotta be my favourite lyric and yeah I do know what you mean."

He laughed

"I never thought my own lyric could come in handy at a time like this."

The waiter came and delivered our meals

As we ate, we asked each other questions about ourselves.
I told him I was poor that I could barely afford to live in my current apartment.

"I would have never guessed" he said

"Why dont you..." he started











"Why don't you move in with me?"
