date 1: coffee/dinner with books. somewhere you can talk and intimate. let it last forever. then, get a call. bad call. have to go now. ill miss you. see you again soon.

date 2: busy, so hiking and breakfast. after that have to go to a meeting. or something that doesnt take too long. but have to go home. there is a ticking clock as soon as the night starts

date 3: dancing, best date ever, long, before the trip to bed happens not on the trip. tell him the truth. you dont want to sleep with him. you want to know him. you want to be his friend. you want to hang out with him and share stories and maybe laugh. and make out everywhere. but not sex.
