Awwww...
Yesterday morning, Mike woke me up with a blueberry bagel & muffin with orange juice... He went to work at 6:30am and on his break, he thought I'd be hungry so he just stopped by to surprise me with breakfast and he went back to work. he said that he didnt know what I wanted, a blueberry bagel or muffin so he got both so I can just pick or eat both..
I've never had a guy do that for me.
Awww that's so sweet. :D
Awww, that is very sweet!
I just wanted you to know that I've enjoyed reading this thread...it reminds me of a situation I'm currently in :D :o
I really enjoy reading this thread too!! I'm so excited for you! I just keep hoping my daughter will find a really sweet guy like this soon. And believe me, he sounds like a doll. I like this guy more and more, every time I hear about him :) ENJOY!!!!
I do hope so, too! :)
I just still can't believe I met anyone like him. We were talking last night how we both thought we wouldn't really be like this after the first night we met eachother. We both were very quiet. We didn't talk a lot either; but we were nervous around eachother. My friend had told me that Mike was coming over for dinner and that caught me offguard. Mike was told that I was at my friend's apartment for dinner and he didn't want to come over because I was there. So since we were really quiet, Mike just thought "whatever" and felt that I didn't want to talk to him at all. I felt the same way about him. We were talking about the first kiss; my friend kept telling Mike that I wanted him to kiss me bad for 3 days in a row and he told me that he would've not done that because he didn't want me to get mad at him for it. I told him that my friend told me the SAME thing about him; and I just shrugged it off because I didn't know if she was being serious or not. So, Mike just did the first move. And look where we're at now. :) Still seeing eachother.
It sounds like you two are just made for each other :D
It's great that you're so happy, I wish you both the best! :)
Thought I'd update.. ;)
Things are going really, really well between us.. we are going home this weekend to visit the families.. and Mike is going to be meeting my family and I think I'll be meeting his.
What's kind of funny is that every time the radio is on; when we're together.. "It Just Comes Natural" by George Strait & "A Little Bit of Life" by Craig Morgan ALWAYS seem to come on! Tonight when I was with him; "It Just Comes Natural" came on 5 times within 3 hours.. I fell down laughing because of how many times it had been on and Mike started laughing, then he just grabs my hand and starts to slow dance with me around his room and he was just singing along to the lyrics. He never used to sing either, until he met me. So he always sings to me in the truck or when a specific song comes on the radio..
Adorable. :)
One thing I noticed about him over the weekend; he had a different side to him. He opened up to me about his dad; how much it sucked not having him around (he passed away from cancer really recently like 10 months ago) and how Mike just felt like he had so many questions to ask him but he can't, because he's not a phone call away. He just started sniffling and kind of tried to hide it from me and I told him it was okay to.. because he was there for me when I didn't get accepted into the arts program.. so I just held him and listened to him.. It's crazy how we have gotten close with eachother.. it's like a really good thing we have going on.. it's like, I was sent to be in his life right now, and my friends have been telling me that Mike smiles all the time now and he's more upbeat about things.. and before he met me. I honestly think.... this is gonna be something good in my life right now..He's a keeper.
He has a surprise for me for Valentine's Day... and I don't know what it is.. I am getting him a coffee mug & a Starbucks gift certificate inside it.. :D
I'm glad everything is going so well with you both, Rachel! :)
It sounds like the start of a good friendship. I hope you enjoy it, no matter what form it takes!
I read this thread with every update! This story is way to cute. :) I am so happy for you.
We are already good friends.. it seems like we're going with the flow and things are falling into place.. right where they should be. :) It's a good thing. We get eachother pretty well.
Gosh gosh gosh!!! He sounds like such a wonderful guy, more and more. Everything is moving along very nicely. I love reading the progress and updates. I hope you both have a special Valentine's Day together. :)
We just woke up in this picture -

Mike is a wonderful guy! :)
Anyways.. Valentine's Day was very, very nice! He told me "Happy Valentine's Day" at MIDNIGHT! He's so sweet. He gave me a stuffed husky with "Ohio State" logo shirt on it. He remembered me looking at it at a store and I was commenting how cute it was. He's very thoughtful.. He kept saying "Happy Valentine's Day" all day.. which was cute, too. We went out to late lunch/early dinner with our two friends, so that was fun too..
Earlier tonight, I am not sure; but I guess his coworker called me his girlfriend when they were talking online and I saw that, and he didn't correct her or anything. ;) So I guess that means something there.. I'm just tickled!
when i'd heard that osu had closed due to horrid weather tuesday, i wondered if you and he had gone sledding? so how did you spend the day?
when i'd heard that osu had closed due to horrid weather tuesday, i wondered if you and he had gone sledding? so how did you spend the day? also i'm listening to k95.5 now ;)
We actually spent the day just laying around... did homework.. we are both dorks! haha.. :) We did go out for a late lunch with our friends.. pretty much double date.. it was really nice.. very laid back! That's what I really like about him.. we can do whatever and not be bored.. we really enjoy eachother's company.. The weather was really bad, though.. too much ice & people couldn't drive around the campus area.. so we just stayed in. It was really nice waking up to the tv saying OSU was closed for the 2nd day, and I went back to sleep right next to him. :D

Hi there you two cutie patooties!! Did I mention how happy you both look? Great pictures! :) This is keeping a smile on my face too:D
Oh.. forgot one more picture.. My dad wanted a picture with him... and look how it turned out..

Dad looks ecstatic! :)
Another weekend has come and gone.. and things are still going pretty good.
I met Mike's brother & his wife, and the little one, who's barely almost a year old.. what a very cute kid! His brother is pretty cool, and things went good.. we hung out for a bit, then we all went out to dinner and had a good time We all said bye, and his brother hugged me, how sweet.. I guess that's a good sign. His wife is a sweetheart and Mike's nephew is one adorable baby! I will be meeting his sister over next weekend, so I'm looking foward to it.
It'll be 3 months since Mike and I met on March 4th.. and 2 months on the 19th since our first kiss, but.. Mike's counting the first day we met, because he thinks that's when we started getting to know eachother then we started doing study dates, then dating.. so I suppose it's 3 months then, and we still are taking our time on where we both end up doing.. but I am pretty sure, we're already in a relationship and it just happened naturally.
I have a question though -- his hands shake when we are together, kissing and whatnot.. is that a strange thing? I am thinking he's just that nervous around me, and he has told me that he doesn't want to make me run off or lose me if he did anything wrong. He easily gets scared if I make a sudden move or make a face about a comment he has made; then he'll keep asking me if I'm okay and if I wasn't mad or anything about whatever we are doing. But what the hey, things are going great!!
One cute thing; yesterday we were leaving a coffeehouse after doing our homework, we walked by this dance studio, and I was being random, and I said "I am gonna need dance lessons when I get married.." and Mike goes "My brother and his wife did that.." and we both were looking through the windows; and all of a sudden, Mike takes me by the hand and starts to slow dance with me while we're walking back to the truck.. he did it twice.. and we both laughed over it.

I have a question though -- his hands shake when we are together, kissing and whatnot.. is that a strange thing? no, not really. he could be anxious about scaring you, do his hands shake other times as well? you can ask, it's a getting to know you kind of thing, like which teacher meant the most to you when you were in high school
I'm so glad things are going so well. I love the dancing story at the end. What a romantic guy he is!!
As far as his hands shaking; I'm no expert on this for sure. I think maybe he's just nervous and it will stop over time. I have a friend that gets shaky when she gets nervous. There's nothing wrong with her that would make her shake except for a real bad case of nerves. Her face also turns really red. I really believe that some people's bodies react in different ways to certain things. I don't think I would worry about it cause I think it will disappear eventually.
Have fun and keep us posted!! :D :) :D
His hands shake because he likes me a lot.. :) March 4th marked 2 months since we met.. so we've been dating at least about almost 2 months, we started dating 2 weeks after we met.. crazy.. but I am loving it.. I am still in awe how I met someone like him and I plan on not letting him go.. He's quite the keeper. :)
Thought I'd show new pictures.. :D
We went out for a couple beers & played a game of pool.. I also met his sister, which I loved meeting her. She's an adorable girl. I had a blast.. definitely made some memories to laugh about, that's for sure..

Oooh, and..
Last night, I went to my math reviewing session; for 2 hours, then I told Mike that I wanted to do homework, get some coffee.. and so he wanted to do that also, so he picked me up, we got coffee then headed back to the house; then he tells me that he missed me eventhough it was only 3 hours and he didn't know what to do because I wasn't around.. he just gave me a little kiss and a cuddling/hug.. more of a snuggling type of hug.. :D
I think this is a good sign of how things are progressing into a "offical" relationship.. :) One of us just needs to say.. it's offical.
I think you both already know it's "official" without having to say it. ;) This is such a great story!! Can I say that another 1000 times? Yes, I can!! Great pictures. Everybody is so cute :D
He fits in with your family, you fit in with his family..........oooooooh.......maybe a wedding in the future!! :) :) :)
I haven't met his mom yet.. but I think I am going to, over spring break... we'll see. I would love to meet his mom.. I've heard so much about her.. and that he already met my parents.. I think it'd be time to meet his. :)
I think I am going to be spending Spring Break with him.. for an entire week.. and just hang out around the house with him.. and just enjoy it.. no school work.. no stress.. just.. relax and enjoy our time.. and get to know eachother better would be great too... and I think it's a good opportunity. He asked me a couple days ago if I was doing anything for Spring break and that if I wanted to, I can stay with him.. and it was entirely up to me, but I think he was hinting at me.. he has to work quite a bit; but I would have to entertain myself at the house, with my laptop, tv, movies and whatnot while he's at work but I would have the afternoons & evenings with him.. He wouldn't have anyone to hang out with, so, why not be the one to keep him company..
This really sounds great!!! This thing couldn't be going any smoother. :) I'm thrilled!! :)
Went to the Zoo yesterday.. so here's a picture of us before we left.. :)
http://i84.imagethrust.com/i/963422/cimg0263md.jpg
Things are going good.. but I have to say.. I am not sure if I should be bothered by the fact he doesn't kiss me hello or hug me hello.. it's like we both are standoffish, until the end where we both say goodbye's, and we kiss.. like it's an everyday habit type of thing. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or it could just mean the relationship is already settled in and we're used to eachother.. eventhough it's only been almost 4 months now..
I think I know what you mean. I've heard this from my daughter before. She's the type that's real affectionate and she likes a guy to be the same way(if she really likes him and she feels comfortable). Maybe he's not from an afffectionate family(not used to showing affection)? Or......maybe he's still a little shy? It might be a good time to talk about it-you think? If you feel like you need to get some answers on some things, go ahead and talk to him. I think you guys have been together long enough now to have a little talk. ;) Just my opinion and completely up to you.
That picture is just adorable. Keep us posted. I was ready to bring this thread back up. :D
I just think Mike is just very comfortable around me so he doesnt really need to be really really affectionate just to keep me around.. that might be it. The only thing is that we don't hold hands that often; but we will do that.. but usually he'll pull away and let go of my hand, and just walk by me or whatnot.. I just THINK that I'm a hopeless romantic; and I have it in my head that "it's a must" to do those kind of things.. hold hands, etc. ALL the time.. but it really isn't neccessary, I suppose. :) He is affectionate towards me.. he kissed me on the cheek before he went off to work, today.. which is pretty sweet.. it's more of a "every day" type of habit now.. (like I said, we're very comfortable around eachother).. and I have discovered one thing about him, he is a moody guy. He is crabby but he will lighten up fast once he's around me.
Ooh ooh ooh! I have a DATE for my friend's wedding in June, and that's Mike! :) I was filling out my RVSP card; and I told Mike about it and I go "Hey you're going with me, how about that?" and he goes "That's fine with me.." and he goes "put down 1 for guest"..
Things are still going great - - I'm starting to think he could be "it", and I'm still gonna bite my tongue. I just kind of keep having deja-vu's about him or around him.. just keep having good vibes, ya know? He's just.. so sweet. I beat his butt at bowling the other night. That was a lot of fun.
I really haven't replied to this thread, but these stories you tell are so cute. It seems to be going well with you and Mike and I'm glad you found each other. Keep these stories coming.. :D
Couple pictures from today - we went out hiking at Highbanks Metroparks here in Columbus --
