Day four’s blogtober topic is “date.” Short of the standard Miss. Congeniality joke “April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket” the first thing that comes to mind is dating. I don’t have a whole lot of experience dating, I only had one serious boyfriend and I ended up marrying him three years ago.
But the man knows how to plan a date.
Our very first date, which we have recreated several times, was to the Perot Museum in Dallas which at the time had just opened. By the by the Perot is amazing and I love going there. After four visits I’m a little over the standard exhibits, but they host some fabulous exhibitions that are worth every penny.
A museum is a perfect place for a first date. We had been talking online for a little over a month when we first met in person. By being at a museum there was always something to fill the awkward pauses in conversation. We still have jokes from that first date that come up in conversation today.
I tried my favorite Psych pick-up line “Have you heard about Pluto? That’s messed up isn’t it?” Which, turns out gets you the exact same blank stares Gus got on the show when he tried it on the ladies.
Husband made a joke that almost made me cut the relationship right then and there. We were in the space exhibit, reading about the light spectrum and he said “Roy G. Biv, one day we’ll find out what the G stands for.”
I was very confused. I just remember stammering “Green… it stands for green. Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet….”
He laughed and then I realized he was joking. Not going to lie, for those seconds I thought he was serious I definitely had an oh-this-is-not-going-to-work moment. Turns out he was just making a nerd joke in response to my nerd joke and turnabout is fair play.
After one great nerdy first date, we dated for a year when he proposed at the museum.
He is the only guy I ever really dated and tomorrow night we are going on our weekly date. We may not ever get that first date magic again, but we still make nerdy jokes. And we’ll be going to the Perot again soon.
