Konnecting – The First Date
Photo by Flickr
It was in Melbourne, Australia when we first went out. It was the first time that we decided to go on an official date as a couple. Even though we have met each many times and were both staying on campus our relationship only started to blossom when I transferred out to the University of Melbourne and he was still studying over at Geelong.
Our meeting place was at Flinder’s Station as that’s where the V-trains came in. Even though the train journey from Geelong to Melbourne only took an hour I ended up waiting for three hours at the train station for him to arrive as he missed the train and had to take a later one. When he eventually arrived at the station he was very apologetic for making me wait for so long. Thankfully I had a book and my walkman back then to kill time while waiting.
It would be the first and last time that I will be waiting hours for a guy. Frankly speaking it SHOULD be the guy waiting for the girl and not the other way around.
Despite the hiccup due to a missed train the rest of the afternoon went of rather smoothly as we caught a movie together and ended the date strolling hand in hand. It felt good holding onto his hand. It felt so secure and warm. It was a hand that I could get used to.
