The first date...

There is much dispute about when our first date actually took place. This is my opinion...
I was asked to chaperone a youth dance in lexington becuase i had just gotten home from a mission, what else did i have to do. Just a couple days before at FHE Ben and I exchanged phone numbers so i decided that I would call and ask if he wanted to come with me. I was still extremely fresh of the mission and was scared to be in public places. I didn't know Ben all that well but from what I did know, i knew he was a nice guy that would be very easy to hang out with. I forgot about the fact that he was a boy and that i had forgotten how to act around boys. The mission does funny things to you. So to my surprise he immediatly said yes, only to find out about a week or so later that he had ditched Michael and Caroline and a couple other people to come. Well Ben is a decided to be gentleman and asked me to dance, let me tell you what happened. I froze completly! My heart about burst out of my chest, i couldn't breath and there was no way i could carry on a conversation while standing that close to him. I felt like a complete idiot. To much relief i later found out that Ben was really nervous becuase i had been really nervous. He acted completly cool to me, i thought he was a pro at handling himself around girls. (i now know better, haha) The rest of the night we just kept talking and talking. but then a meeting that had been taking place somewhere else in the building got out. My Dad was a part of that meeting and being so excited that i had just gotten home from a mission made mention that I was at the dance. So this man walks up, his name escapes me, and introduces himself to me. He then asks, "So what advice did your mission president give you about marriage?" I replied that he had jokingly given me a 3 month deadline saying there's no return missionary that wouldn't want to date me. This man then turns to Ben and says, "Are you a return missioanry?" Ben replied yes. The man proceeded and asked, "are you single?" Ben said yes. The man then turns to me and says, "There you go." Hows that for a first date?
