I was out yesterday with this girl I'm very close to. We spent a lot of time at Go Ape.
I did sort of break apart a bit this day.
I told her that it was a little bit stressful for me when she disappeared from Whatsapp periodically. She assured me she would warn me if it was to happen again. She also told me that she 'promised' to tell me if she didn't like something I did when she realised that is what was scaring me. When I asked with mock horror what would cause her to stop talking to me, she had difficulty saying it, finally settling on me going around committing crimes.
I then got even more upset and told her I was bullied out of a society in university. I was told to never, under any circumstances, tell her that. I was told if I did, I'd lose her. The person who said that does not know this girl.
She was horrified, said they were 'horrible people' and that most people are not like that. She was very supportive about this whole situation and told me a lot of nice things afterwards. She shared a detail from her life when she met someone similar who was horrible to her and said people like that do exist but they're a minority (For context, I was bullied out of a society when I asked one of the exec to stop swearing so much).
I was oversensitive, remembered she once called me the nicest she met, and then asked her out of stress if she still felt that way. She said yes and then began telling me nice things about myself. I also really enjoyed that she was sharing so many lovely, funny details from her personal life.
Afterwards, she was very assuring. I ate too much hot sauce and, trying to speak with my mouth on fire, made a gesture by rotating two fingers from opposite hands around each other. She suddenly began saying ridiculously cute things, at one point calling me the 'king of spice' and that I'll get through it. I told her that's not what I meant, I meant with that gesture my mouth is getting a bit better, but asked her to continue. She did.
At one point, she got cold and said she wanted to run back to her car to get her coat. I took my fleece off and offered it to her. She wanted me to put on her thin coat afterwards, but I did sort of lie that I wasn't cold myself.
She initially said that her mother needed the car by 5pm. But when we took a little long at Go Ape due to my fear of heights she looked at the clock and said 'right, I won't be able to get there in time, she said she could take the bus, so now we can spend as much time as we like with each other'.
Later on, when driving me home and discussing when to meet next, she said she wanted to be home by 8pm but then ended up coming in to my place, playing the piano and watching the videos we took today. I was super nervous and watching her out of the corner of my eye. She was very warm and open, sitting tilted towards me.
When leaving, she told me we'd stay in touch and that she'll 'see me later'. We spent over 9 hours together in the end.
