First Date

When I first met RM, he had a reputation of a "bad boy". Some of my friends were worried that I would get my heart broken and that he would be a bad influence. Since I was having too much fun dating and wasn't looking for a serious relationship- I wasn't worried.

On our first date, RM took me out to dinner and then we went to a bakery to pick out a birthday cake for his aunt. This so called "bad boy" didn't seem so....bad.

Two days later we went on a second date and this time it didn't feel like a date- it felt as if we had known each other our entire lives. There were no awkward small talk and I didn't feel the need to fill the moments of silence with constant chatter.

For the first time on a date, I felt comfortable being ME. And being with RM felt like home- he was a warm blanket on a cold winter night. I knew my serial dating days were coming to an end.

Two weeks later, RM proposed... and the rest is history.

*****

Since RM would be out of town for Valentine's Day, we celebrated yesterday. He called me this morning to wish me a Happy Valentine's day and then I went downstairs and saw this post-it note on our refrigerator.

This reformed bad boy has become a hopeless romantic.
