DB - the final installment

The reason I say this is my final post about DB, is that now that I'm getting to know him better, I think it is uncool to carry on about him. Not that the newness and excitement of our friendship is wearing off, on the contrary. It's just that now that it actually seems real, I want to keep it close. Having said that, in my last post, I mentioned that he suggested that we see a movie, and we did recently, so I thought my loyal readers would be happy to know that :)

The best thing about him is his thoughtfulness for sure. Even though he would have liked to have seen Wild Hogs, he knew that I wanted to see Reign Over Me, and insisted that we did, even though I warned him that my taste has been questioned. :) I know you don't want a play-by-play of the whole night, but here are a few things that I enjoyed: I ordered the tickets online to make it easier, and he said, "Rats" and didn't like it much that I paid, but conceded; He had to tell the person at the concession stand our order about 5 times, and he didn't seem the SLIGHTEST bit exasperated, though I was; He opened my Junior Mints for me without me having to ask; He sat on the edge of his seat almost the whole time so we could be shoulder-to-shoulder during the movie; and he said that I am probably the only person who could get him to go to a movie these days, and that he loved it and trusts my judgement in movies.

Needless to say, I had a great time. Sometimes when I see an article about him online or in the paper, I wonder why in the world he wants to spend time with plain old me. I know we're just friends, but he has friends ranging from ex-presidents to music royalty. The great thing is though, he never makes me feel less important than one of those people. I don't know how long we will be friends, or how our friendship will develop, but knowing him has renewed my self confidence in such a way that I will be eternally greatful.

The end.
