Car Trouble
I went on a first date with a man I had just met. As he dropped me back off at home afterwards, his car broke down in my driveway. It was not able to be fixed without buying new parts, and the auto parts stores were now closed. He was incredibly embarrassed. After about 2 hours of his attempts to reach friends with no luck, I hesitantly told him he could sleep on my couch until he could call a tow/friend in the morning. He offered to walk to a hotel, but I insisted.
I had NEVER had a boy at my house before, and though he seemed nice enough – I wasn’t taking chances. Locked my bedroom door and tried to fall asleep. Ended up feeling so nervous about a man in my house, that I went out to check if he was still there 30 minutes later. He was wide awake, and we ended up talking/laughing until 7am.
I ended up adoring him, and couldn’t get enough.
We’ve been together for years now and spend our free time in the garage working on our shared hobby… fixing up cars. 😉
