In February 2004, I met Lindsay (Mick) through Lavalife. I didnt know back then that he would start the turning point of my life. He introduced me to his friend Lemmy.
Last week Lem and I were poking through his old hotmail emails. He started chatting about our first date. It was kinda sweet that he saved all the emails we had going back and forth in 2004. So on May 5, 2004 we went on our first date. I still remember how much of a disaster that was.
First I was close to an hour late. He parked across the street from my place and waited for me in his car. In the middle of a Vancouver heatwave. I finally finished with my project and I asked him to park his car in the garage. I still had my condo on Beach Ave. He moved his car. We had to jump up and down on the hose to get the garage to open from the inside. I banged my forehead on the gate while it was opening. Seriously dont know how that happened.
I almost asked him to kiss it better. But then, he might have thought I was a psycho. After all, it's only our first date. I had this big black mark on my forehead the whole time.
I gave him my house keys to hang on and we went for a walk on the beach. He tried to buy me lunch. I said no. We sat on the beach afterwards, and he told me that I needed a second coat on my toenails.
????????
Made it back into the parking garage. And I looked up at him and I said KEYS, and he thought I said KISS in my non-existent Filipino accent. I still remember the look on his face when I repeated KEYS......
Anyway, the goof never called me after that. I asked him out 3 times after that. I mean, I cant expect to have everything handed to me in a silver platter in this lifetime. So, I've had this policy of asking three times, and if I dont get it, it was never meant to be mine. I just move on to the other battles I can win.
And that I did, I actually started dating another guy. Lem had to do some serious convincing and wooing to get me back. Of course.....
I am always persuadable.
You know what I really like about Lem the most? He makes me smile and he makes me laugh. I like being happy.
