Being in love
Ah, yes, I wrote about a cute boy from Jönköping I started chatting with 15:th of july, in my post What’s Mika been up to? This has evolved a little after that! Oh, and his name is Ola.
After talking alot on www.qx.se, a swedish dating site for HBT-people, we finally met for the first time 3:rd of august. He came over to Linköping and we went out to eat, and saw the new Superman movie at the cinema. Kinda funny, isn’t it? Two gay guys watching a guy in tight pants! I remember that I was a little nervous about how he would respond to me, but in the cinema I could feel my elbow touching his, and I really enjoyed that contact.
It ended with him sleeping over
No sex, mind you! We had agreed to not have any sex on the first date. Oh, the stories to tell! So the first date was from 3-4:th of august.
Anyways, we then continued to talk, mainly by SMS, and some by QX, for a week, and then I went over to Jönköping to visit him. Oooh, he’s such a good cook! He treated me to pepper beef and potato gratin (not sure these things really are called this in english, kinda translated them right off from swedish), and wine! I stayed for 3 days
This was 15-17:th of august.
We talked some on the phone, but still mostly by SMS. And we had a third date 2-3:rd of september. I went to his parents place in a small town outside of Borås. His parents were at a wedding at the time, so we had the whole house to ourselves. Or rather, ourselves and 3 dogs! I actually got bitten by one of them! Nice dogs, very small, but I was a little afraid of one of them, but at the end of day 2 all of them seemed to have gotten accustomed to me.
And finally, at 00.18 12:th of september, we decided to call ourselves boyfriends! Aaah, what a happy night that was for me! I sent SMS to 33 of my friends telling about the news! I spent a conciderable amout of time floating on little pink fluffy clouds!
Since then we’ve been keeping phone contact a lot. My phone bill will soar, but it’s worth it
Will have to switch to skype at some point. Works fine for me, since I got a bluetooth headset, makes it easy to talk everywhere. Will have to check with Ola if it works for him.
Last time we saw each other was last friday, 29:th of september. Me and my friend Peter Modin took his car down to Jönköping. It was time he met one of my friends, I thought! And I prepared myself for the meeting by buying myself new clothes (which I really needed!), a bouqet of 3 roses and a heart shaped chocolate box! I know, corny romantic, but I was sure he was going to appreciate the corniness! And he did
Wuhuu! Points to my corny, romantic brain! I had a real fun time, even though I was really tired!
He’s coming over this weekend, probably 6-8:th of october, and I’m sooo looking forward to it! :pom: We spent over 6 hours on the phone yesterday, the longest call I’ve ever made, and talked and talked, and laughed and talked! And made some plans for the weekend.
I’m confident that this will evolve into something beautiful!
