Five years ago today, I felt real butterflies in my stomach for the first time.
After a bizarre twist of fate, I had finally met a certain gorgeous boy two nights earlier. The first time we'd gone out went fairly smoothly; we grabbed dinner, chatted, saw a movie, chatted some more. I was completely smitten.
Yet a few days later there I was, feeling as though I was in a bit of a conundrum; just because I'd had a great time and had spent countless moments replaying it over and over in my head, didn't mean that he felt the same way. I was worried. What if he didn't enjoy himself? Would he be interested in me at all? And what if he wasn't? It would be a shame, because he was so cute. And he wore nice shoes. What to do? Argh. Needless to say, I was full of nervous anticipation.
It is with fondness that I look back on those moments of confusion, giddiness and pure hope. The feeling that maybe, just maybe I had met that someone special was exhilerating, exciting and a little scary. I don't think I've ever wanted something quite so badly before, as I did at this very point in time, five years ago. What did I want? I wanted the highly important second date, of course.
To be continued . . .

Eeek!! Those feelings are the worst / best!!
I can't wait to hear the rest of the story...

TOO CUTE!
Those are the best kinds of butterflies!
That is one of the best "how we met" stories I've ever heard!
I wrote once that I am really sad I will (hopefully) never feel butterflies like that again, but I am also really glad that I never have to feel butterflies like that again. It is the best/worst feeling!
What does J look like? I imagine him having dark brown hair and blue eyes.
Shoes, hair, and teeth. The 3 Must Haves. *wink*

You're adorable!
I love this. And oh how I love le butterflies.
Aww, I am sure we can all relate to those feelings! I think your story is going to have a good ending though... :D So cute!
ooh, tell us more!
(I wish I could bottle and sell that feeling. I'd be a zillionaire.)
I always hate 'to be continued' things. Mostly because I am impatient.
it's exciting for you though. I've forgotten what those butterflies feel like. I will now proceed to live vicariously through you.
