Texting
I have made a promise to myself to not fall for a guy anytime soon, cause I have had enough of those at the moment. They never go right.
But I have been texting him all day, and I gotta say that I have a massive, Mega crush on him.
Me: Sundays here sucks, and the closing times throughout the week too. Like why the hell do you close really early? Even restaurants! When am I supposed to eat dinner? 6?
Leon: haha! It really bothers you, doesn't it?
Me: it does! And it's not funny!
Leon: it is funny, Iris.
Me: no it's not, Leon.
Leon: don't mimic me.
Me: I will.
Leon: don't make me come up there.
Wait- up where? Here?
Is this one of these pissing each other off until the "make me" comment pops up before a steamy kiss?
Of course not, shut up brain.
Me: no seriously, what am I supposed to do on Sunday?
Leon: worship🤣
Me: what if I am not a Christian?
Leon: go on dates, have a picnic, hangout with friends.
Me: is that what you do?
Leon: no
Me: what do you do then?
Leon: stay in bed all day, no t-shirt on, watch a movie or read a book.
My brain imagined all that and it's not a good thought because it's igniting the way I feel about him.
Changing the subject is a great idea.
Me: have you ever been to Neuschwanstein castle?
Leon: I have seen it, but never been inside. I have been in the Museum of the Bavarian Kings when I was in Füssen for a research.
Me: oh that's cool! I have searched about the castle yesterday, though the booking for the tours is full for the whole month :(
He read my message, but did not respond for the rest of the day so I thought that was weird. But maybe there is nothing more to say?
The next morning I was happy at the sight of his notifications, last night I was overthinking and wanted to text him so bad.
Leon: what are you going to do on Sunday?
That question is quite weird and sudden.
Me: I haven't thought yet, why?
Please ask me out.
Leon: I have an extra tour ticket for Neuschwanstein castle on Sunday 17:05
And? Me? Him? Castle? Date? Sunday?
Me: oh?
Leon: yesterday you said you hated sundays here and you never know what to do. I am quite happy that you don't have a plan yet.
Three dots kept me waiting
Leon: would you like to go with me?
I was in shoock even though I saw this coming as soon as he asked what I was doing on Sunday. But I did not expect him to get tickets to the castle and I don't know
Leon: to the castle i mean
First date to a castle?
Boy my standards got too high after this.
Leon: you can go on your own if you want
What? No!
Leon: the ticket is yours.
Me: hi, sorry, no
What the hell?
Leon: oh
Me: no, sorry
Leon: I got that.
Me: no
Leon: I think I read the signals wrong.
All I wanted to do that moment is call because I am uncabable to type right now. I tend to send so many texts one after the other instead of a whole paragraph when I am excited and it ruins things sometimes like now.
Me: I meant, sorry I took long to reply and no I don't want to take the ticket.
Leon: it's clear.
Dammit let me type!
Me: because I want to go with you.
So stressing!
Me: I want to go to the castle on Sunday with you.
Leon: oh
Me: if you want
What if he wasn't asking me out? He just got a ticket for me? I don't know! I am confused I take what I said back. I guess it's a guessing game with everyone.
I don't want it to be.
Me: let's make this clear, I am done guessing things. I don't want this to be like every interaction I had before. I do like you, and I want to get to know you. I appreciate you getting tickets that's just- crazy! I want to go on a date with you and I hope that was you asking me on one.
Leon: this is the healthiest conversation I have had, I am glad you ended a guessing game before it started. Thank you for clearing things up. I like you too, a lot. I know it's quick but I just feel some type of way. I would like to get to know you as well and yes, it was me asking you out I should have made it clearer.
Oh thank god.
Leon: have you got the 9-euro tickets?
Me: yes!
Leon: great! The direct train to Füssen station on Sunday is at 9:45 am, would you be up for that? Or should we go later? There is only three direct trains from Munich a day, as for the rest we need to change trains.
Me: no yeah, I will be up for that, 9:45 it is then.
Leon: great! I will be at your door at 9:30 am.
The greatest thing is that, the station is literally across the street from the hotel I am staying in, I can even see it from the window.
Me: can't wait! :)
