We had dated for several months before the Val thing came around. We had pleasant moments as grown up fellows in a relationship, romantic one for that matter. Myself and my boyfriend were nothing less than best friends for all these moment, but then we realized we never went on an actual first date, thus as the valentine day was counting down, we were putting plans in place for our memorable date. When the countdown came to a stop with a romantic buzz in the air, he rented us a canoe; got a picnic for us and we spent that day canoeing around: it was so much fun! Floating around on the surface of water in the safety of that canoe was the most mind blowing thing about that day for me. I really do have phobia for water, but with him in the canoe, it felt so different. As my skin stroke through the molecules of air around the water space, it really had a soothing sensation. And then after that we went to see a movie at the cinema. We made sure to cover all the bases — food, exercise, adventure, movies, and love.
