Don says I am unforgiving and need to learn how to let go of things. Whenever we reminisce about our beginning, I always bring up this one incident. I call it the 'The date that never happened'. This was very very early on our relationship when it was all 'lets meet up for coffee' 'coffee after class?' thing.
But this particular 'coffee date' was supposed to be the one where two friends go on a 'date', hang out and see where it leads to. First, let me clarify that Don didn't ASK me to go on this date. Instead, he TOLD me that we are hanging out on a Tuesday for coffee at 1 pm. It wasn't a big surprise that he TOLD me we were going for coffee. I was a little annoyed at that. I did like him so I pushed that aside.
I was excited, nervous, anxious and was looking forward to Tuesday all weekend! I thought about what to wear, where are we going, what we are going to talk about and etc. I had this crazy build up of excitement to Tuesday. When Tuesday came, I did my normal Tuesday morning routine (breakfast, go to class, plan out my dissertation, etc). After class, I texted Don asking him if coffee was still on. He replied we might have to raincheck. I was a little wtffff?!?! I asked him why. He was hungover!!!!!!!! and had alcohol poisoning (to not make him sound like an alcoholic, Don has Lad Night every Monday where his friend and he watch their favourite TV series and drink, guess he had one toooooooo many that night).
I was SO disappointed and upset with him. It was to the point when he called to apologize, I didn't answer the call. I was looking forward to our little 'coffee date'. I usually get over things fairly quickly, but this long is taking a verrrry long time (Its been over a year). I didn't tell him how I felt that day until later on. That boy had the best laugh! He didn't know I felt so strongly about the 'date' because at that time we were merely friends who had crushes on each other. For me to react the way I did was kinda hilarious.
It's not exactly a positive memory but a little funny to how I reacted. It reminds me of our little humble beginnings and it's one of my favourite memory of us. He did make it up after that by cooking me a meal and taking me to more coffee dates! Now, we look back and just laugh about it. The 'date that never happened' got to us where we are now.
