My Permanent Date

One of my closest friends lives in another country. We communicate almost everyday thanks to the magic of the Internet. We check in with each other almost every day on IM. The other day I told her that I was going to watch "The Perks of Being a Wall Flower" at the Logan. When she asked me who I was going with? I laughed out loud and responded, "my husband of course, he's my permanent date." I do have my group of friends that I go out when I want to get a certain chick flick out of my system, but my hubby is my permanent movie date. 

I've never thought about it until now, but I will never go on another "date" again. I put date in quotes because as a married couple, we still have our date nights, but when I say "dates" I mean the type when you're just starting to get to know someone. I don't know what's weirder, that I will not go on another "date" again or that I'm ok with that...  

I really couldn't ask for a more agreeable date. He always drives, pays and gets the popcorn. Aside from the fact that I don't always get to pick the movie, I really can't complain. So as scary and as odd as it may seem to have a permanent movie date with the same person for the rest of your life, trust me it really isn't. Just make sure you get the right person. How do you know you know you have the right person? Well for me it was simple. I made sure he didn't talk or take calls during the movie. I made sure he offered to pay. But most importantly, I asked him to take me to a chick flick. He agreed and took one for the team...I knew then he was a keeper.

So, ask your guy to take you to the chickiest chick flick and if he agrees and goes because he simply likes your company, you know you've got someone special on your hands.

Cheers.
