The story of how Ruthie met 'Andy'

Here is the story of my first, brief, love story. The taster, that has left me wanting more, sending me on my search for Prince Charming.... or at least Mr Right!

We met online and chatted for what seemed like months over text message and video calls and i never thought the day would come when I would get anyone to call them mine! Ever more so someone sweet and kind and HOT!

But as i mentioned before one Sunday evening in late spring I, ever so slightly tipsy, walked from the pub at one end of my road to his street which was at the other end ( i thought it was fate that we lived so close to each other!!)

The walk should take a maximum 5 minits, but it felt so so much longer! the dutch courage wasn't helping half as much as you would expect it to!

Sending him a message every few feet telling him i was closer and then finally seeing him leave his house i stopped and my heart racing, i took a deep breath and walked towards the boy i had the hugest little girl crush on!

Looking back later on in a relationship we giggled about how he immediately hugged me but through nerves and the awkwardness, I ended up just rubbing my head on his shoulder like a kitten :)

I didn't Instantly love him, in fact we had planned to go on a little walk the next morning and i almost cancelled because it didn't feel as spectacular as it did when we were video messaging each other. He looked pale and boney and his coat smelled of cat. But nevertheless over yet another video message he won me back over and i decided to go along with him bringing my beautiful my beautiful dog for support and distraction when we ran out of conversation.

But looking out of my kitchen window seeing him standing under a tree in the miraculous brilliant sunshine, he looked yummy! His freshly ironed black shirt and smart jeans along with the movie star sunglasses made me look at him in a completely different light and then when i smelt his aftershave, i thought that the previous night had been a fluke. The lighting was terrible for a start, enough to grey out any ones complexion! perhaps the cat had been curled up on him when i arrived at the end of his path? Either way i was excited and desperate to hold his hand but far to nervous!

he had been teasing me all day knowing i was to shy to kiss him but as we parted in the street after a brief drink in my back garden, he playfully puckered up and i planked a smacker on his lips and nonchalantly sauntered off my heart pounding and feeling very dizzy. A few moments later i received a message saying that he was not expecting it but he now was looking forward to the cinema date we had planned for Thursday, only 2 days away!

more another time .....
