Flashback Friday: We Actually Talk

I think this is my favorite part of the story because I get to mock Nathan a little bit. (Don't worry, he deserves it—and I mock myself a little too.) Turns out, Nathan finally got the courage up to text me (after stalking my Facebook to find my number). That text?

"You told my roommate I bit you on the head? Lol"

So romantic. He's lucky I already had a huge crush on him and it didn't matter what he said! That text was at about 8:30 at night and we were still texting each other at 2:00 the next morning. Pretty sure by midnight I told him my greatest fears and by 1:00am I was asking him about future plans. Yeah. I'm not subtle.

Maybe not my brightest moment, but it worked! We've either seen each other or texted each other every single day since then. But for a long, long time (it seemed) it was just texting. As in—he wouldn't ask me to do anything! Not to eat a meal with him, or to hang out, or even to just study together. So I not-so-subtly told him I was studying up at the field house and "if he wanted to" he could come join me.

Well he did, and we had fun—but the next move was his. And finally, two weeks later (was it only two weeks?), Nathan just happened to be outside my door after class. Which brought on the following conversation:

Nathan: "So... there's some orchestra here next week."
Me: "Yes there is!"
*walks in silence*
Nathan: "From Poland, I think. It's Poland, right?"
Me: "Yep, the Polish Orchestra!"
*more walking in silence*
Nathan: "So..."
Me: "Yes?"
Nathan: "You going with anybody?"

Once again, he is SO lucky I was just waiting for him to ask so I could say yes. And here's the first picture of Nathan and me together—look at how precious and young we were!
