Some background, one of my coworkers Christie (not her real name) is friends with my crushes best friend. Christie knows I have a crush on this guy but hasn’t said anything to his friend.

Anyways yesterday I was working, he hadn’t come in all week. Christie comes in with this grin on her face. She says that her friends are all going to a drive-in theater that night. I know she’s friends with one of his friends so I ask if her if he’s coming. She doesn’t know his friend hasn’t responded yet. Anyways gotta try, at least I’ll get to see a movie.

So we get off work and get ready. His friends says he’s coming but still nothing about him. We get ready and go to the house where were gonna split up into cars. When we get there, there’s already people. But he’s not there. My heart sinks.

Of course, he shows up. Walking up to us he sees me and kinda cocked his head like dogs do. It was adorable. Just says hey with a smile. I just say hey with a smile back. Christie takes it upon herself to organize everyone. The math works out that we have two full cars and one extra person.

Christie then asked if my crush if he could just drive himself. He said yeah and turned to me and ask if I wanted to keep him company and ride with him. I used this to tease him a bit, saying “I don’t know stuck with you for a whole car ride”. He responds “sorry it’s gonna be the whole movie and drive back too”

So this drive-in is a hour away. The whole time we’re talking. I made it a point to try and touch him just to turn up the intimacy. So a sarcastic put down comes with a pat on the back. Once I got really excited because we both like the same band. I grabbed his wrist with both hands. Which I know is aggressive, I forgot myself for a moment. He was also wearing a nice watch so I took his wrist to look at it. Then I took it off and put it on.

We drive into the theater. All three cars park next to each other. We get popcorn and the movie starts. The whole time we’re still talking. He’s really great about adding commentary. He made me laugh so much that my sides hurt today.

I start to feel more comfortable with him. We talk about more personal stuff. As we talk he’s leaning on the center console of his car still looking forward though. He’s wearing a button up with the top two buttons undone. I notice he’s wearing a necklace. Asking “what’s this” reaching into his shirt to grab it. “St. Elmo” he says “patron saint of sailors”. The necklace is still around his neck so holding it brings our faces close. “How long have you been saili—“ I wasn’t able to finish before he kissed me. The first kiss was a soft one. A brief pause, then a few more.

I start to giggle a bit while we’re making out. “What?”, “I’ve wanted to kiss you for so long” I say. “Like since March?” He asked. “Yeah I guess I can’t remember the first time I saw you.” A sly smile comes across his face. “What?” I ask. “I remember the first time I saw you” “oh yeah sure you do”. “I was picking up Chris after his show at the coffeeshop you were working. You were wearing a silk handkerchief in your hair you went to leave and you asked for one of Chris’s cards”. Shocked I say “you’ve liked me this whole time and you didn’t say anything!”. “You’re not supposed to hit on the barista, I thought you were just being nice. Plus the whole age thing” to that I playfully punch him in the arm. We watch the rest of the movie. We didn’t pay attention to the first half so we just continued to talk and make out.

Eventually the movie ends. All our friends immediately know what had happened I was holding his hand while he threw out the trash or they looked over at any moment and realize we weren’t watching the movie. Christie gave me this big smile all I could do was laugh.

We’re dating now. Thank you to everyone for your advice and encouragement. Please anybody out there if you like someone. Even if you can only handle a small interaction with no flirting, try. You never know.
