Last night my boyfriend and I made pizza. I really didn’t want to go out and spend money (although I probably spent the same amount) and I just wanted to watch the Lakers game and have a beer. (I’m such a man… or am I the best girlfriend ever?)
Anyways, my pizza tasted better, but his looked good. When we were first dating, one of the first dates that we had was when I came over to his place and made dinner. It was fun and something that I’ve never done with any other guy that I’ve been interested in. While reflecting on some of our dates, my boyfriend (he will always be referred to as boyfriend, because, well, he’ll probably get mad at me.) said that that was his favorite one. The one that he always brags about. Now, boyfriend and I have been on plenty of dates. We’ve done the whole dinner and a movie and the nice ones like going to places that we normally don’t go, and even dressing up and dining someplace fancy. But why is this date his favorite (and mine too)? Simple. That’s the word to describe it. It was simple date. Just getting to know each other over a nice meal and a glass of wine. So, what’s one of my New Year’s resolutions (even though I can never keep them)? Simple. Make life simple and even have simple dates.
