Third Date by Momo9

I never did date anyone else after the second date.

On our third date we went to a club. Danced all night long. We sang along to all the music. We both liked Rock’n’Roll. We fast danced and slow danced. Even though he told me he wasn’t crazy about dancing, he knew I liked it, so he did it. We talked and talked. We were getting to know each other well (I was falling in love). Almost love at first sight.

During this date he confessed that the only reason he asked me out the first time, was that his mother suggested he do it. I said, “What?”

He explained that he asked three girls out for that first Saturday date. They turned him down, so his mom suggested me (see what I mean about being a jerk). Maybe he was trying to be funny. Oh well, there were so many nice things about him, that I overlooked his nasty (humorous) remarks. I sort of liked his mother for mentioning me (we lived in the same neighborhood).

This date went very well. We talked on the porch again till the wee hours of the morning.
This was a Bingo date!
I got a kiss goodnight, and another and another! Bingo!

This is the guy who could stay out late back then. Dance and dance, and play football, basketball and baseball and never stop.
This is also the guy, today, who gets into his pajamas at 5:30pm, sits and watches the news and sports center, and would never think of asking me to dance. This is the guy who would stay awake for hours and talk to me and only me. And now barely says hello, goodbye, or goodnight. He falls asleep by 8:30 pm. Of course, if I’m lucky, I do get a game of Scrabble out of him before he retires for the evening and a kiss goodnight.
I truly did marry a winner!

bravo, momo9. you are the best.

i guess most men live by the adage "i got you to marry me now I can just sit in front of the tube all day and not pay attention to you"???

9 kids? I think he did enough. Like poltergeist, "My job here is finished!"

Maybe Momo9, if he says anything to ya it will lead to some hot steamy passionate scenario and well...we don't need to hear about that.

Great story!!

I can't wait to hear more from you!

A good night kiss is Bingo ? I'm afraid of what Yahtzee is.

Thanks for your posts, Momo9! We hear so much about you - it's great to hear your own voice. (Think you could tell a few on William next?)

And hee to Lauren. :)

Makes me wonder, does dad read the blog?

I think he should before he plays a game of Scrabble and retires for the night.

I love the opening line of this installment. Well done, Mom o' Nine!!

Unknown said...

Oh yes yes, Momo9...can we PULEEZ hear some stories from you about William?!

That is a LOVELY story Momo9!! He sure sounds like a winner! I love it! I have been gone for the past week and was able to read all of it at once---he sure does sound like a winner.

Kinda the same way my hubby asked me out--the Pastor's wife prompted him, saying "Why don't you ask [Effie] out? She's a nice girl..." and so he FINALLY did and we were engaged less than 3 months later..


I can see where Bill gets his writing skills from!
