Wow, some amazing things have happened lately.
Meeting Alex is one.
We met just over 1 month ago, September 17th.
We had an amazing first date playing pool and foosball.
Then we had an amazing second date where he cooked me scallops and bacon at his apartment with an amazing view.
Then we ran into each other while I was in my car, no hair and no makeup, and we made out.
Then we had our 4th date, where we ate meatballs at IKEA, and had sex at my place.
We had dinner at Guu for our 2 weeks anniversary. And dessert at Freshmeet Taiwanese dessert.
He had lost his job at the bike shop, and started a job at a film equipment company. A week later he quit that job, because it was just hard labour work.
One good thing that came out of it was that he stayed with me that week, since my place is close to his work.
Then he was so stressed about money after quitting. While I was in Victoria for 4 days, he applied to everything possible. By Tuesday, he got a job driving the little ferry boat to Granville Island, but it paid just as lame as this previous job, $16/hour.
It was to start 10 days later. He had to first take some courses, which cost $1000 and the ferry company would only reimburse him on half of it.
We celebrated our 1 month anniversary. He bought me a bunny mug and made a bunny origami for me. I gave him the bunny card I bought on Valentine’s Day. The card was about two bunnies who do a bunch of cute things together. It fit us perfectly!
We ate a big meal at Sushi Loku. I paid for it. He felt bad. It was a hard time for him.
I wished to the Gods that he finds a good steady job, full time, that allows him to start a business on the side.
He was definitely trying for it too. He said he was inspired to make lots of money after meeting me.
Through a chain of unbelievable events, he got a job offer today with Motorino! At $25/hour, being a bike mechanic for electric bikes, and a bike designer with royalties to gain! Plus he might be able to use his skills as a photographer, as well his experience with developing websites and making videos.
He was so happy, and I was so happy, and Mom was so happy too! And his mom too!
I’m so proud of him for getting to that next level. It’s definitely good effort on his part. I’m also so grateful and amazed that my wish came true! Thank you thank you thank you 🙂
The day before he got his job offer, I asked if he’d like to be my boyfriend. It’s now official haha. We are boyfriend and girlfriend. It’s been less than 5 weeks since we met.
Today he kept saying I’m the one. I hope so. I hope I’m the one for him, and he is the one for me.
I want to wait at least 3, 4 months before I’m fully committed though. I want to know that our honeymoon high is more than just a phase. I hope we will always be attracted to each other, be exciting for each other, and be passionate with each other.
I hope in the near future I move into that nice apartment of his. It’s not new, but it’s still very good. The view is amazing.
I’d be paying a lot more than now though….$1200 + parking. But then, it’s cheap for that location. It’s a good deal. And I’ve wanted to live downtown again. And I’ll get to be with Alex.
