I had already asked him to go to the Emerald Ball with me and so on Wednesday I called him about it. I let him know what color my dress would be and if he wanted to wear a tie to match he was free to do so. He said that he would cause it sounded to him that it would make me happy. I let him know that him just coming was making me happy. He the told me if wearing a matching tie would bring an extra added measure to my happiness he wants to do that. He sent me a piture of two ties he was thinking about and when I told him that the first one looked great he said "Does it really look good, though, or is it just a shoe-in? I could go uy a tie if this is insufficient. :) " Isn't that adorable? I let him know that there is no need for him to buy a new tie for the occasion and that it really did look great.
He also asked if he could bring anything and I really couldn't think of anything he could bring. When he arrived we were still getting ready, of course, but as soon as I went out and saw him he held up a corsage that he had bought for me. How sweet was that? I nearly died. He was so thoughtful to think of that. He really cares about making me happy, I don't ever remember being in a relationship where I felt so taken care of.
I had so much fun with him at the dance, even though we probably only danced to a couple of songs. :) We went on a walk around the school for a good chunk of it. We came back to my place with Bethay and Jacob afterwards and chatted with them for a little bit. They left and I sat and talked with Anthony on my couch for a little bit. He then brought up dating again, we talked about where we are and how whenever he is around me he is so happy. He talked about kicking our relationship up a notch and he asked me how I felt about that. I asked him what he meant and then we decided that we should probably make our relationship official. Anthony and I are now dating. Title and all. :) We also talked about what that means and how often we will see each other. We are going to try and see each other at least once a week. :) We discussed his school load and how I don't want to keep him from his studies too much and how we are going to have to face the challenge of living an hour away from one another. He said his family really likes me and that they are very supportive of him continuing a relationship with me.
We sat on my couch cuddling for a while and I was so comfortable with him being there and us talking about our relationship. He mentioned at one point that he felt the spirit as we talked about dating. I felt it too. He also said that it is time for us to maybe have deeper conversations about things in this stage. I am not eally sure what that means, I think he was maybe saying that we need to have conversations about the possible future. Maybe? I guess I will find out. And he said maybe this is a pre-pre engagement stage...haha. Which is probably just dating with the idea that that could happen in the future. Crazy?! I am falling pretty hard for him and I know I have said this before but I think things are going to work out with him. I could see us getting married one day. By the things he talked to me about he also feels the same way.
Now to be a little immature. I HAVE A BOYFRIEND! ANTHONY RICHARDSON IS MY BOYFRIEND! I HAVE THE BEST BOYFRIEND EVER!!!!
