So, this past Sunday I was able to attend the Adele concert. Amazing!!! She seriously is fabulous!!! I sang along with every single song and so did the gay guy standing next to me...we were quite the duo! Ha! Ha! Anyways...the real point of this entry is my date for the event.
Just an FYI...I meant it when I said I sang during every song, so just know that if you watch this video! Haha! I'm a fan, what can I say!?!
I asked a terribly cute grad student from BYU who is an ex-pro football player and in my ward. Here are his stats: He's 6'5" or 6'6" with big brown eyes, tan skin, and probably around 250 pounds. I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to go since it was our first time hanging out and doing something together, but i was pleasantly surprised by his quick humor and non-chalant manner. I mean, he is from Samoa, so his laid back attitude isn't all that surprising, it's the fact that he was so funny and we could easily carry a conversation. Who knew fobs talk?! Jokes people, jokes! The only reason I was surprised that he talked so easily and was quite the comedian was because he is always SUPER quiet at church. He's like super mute but on our date he was anything but silent; which is fine with me.
Not to mention he paid for everything and drove us up there, which was nice. And he loved the concert just as much as I did. In fact, he wants me to get him some Adele songs. He said he loved "Someone Like You" and "Chasing Pavement" and her Bob Dylan cover. I was like so impressed. And the whole evening he kept leaning over to me and telling me how amazing she sang and was. I was like, "I know!" But I'm glad he loved the night as much as I did.
Another bonus for him was the fact that he was super touchy "feely" with me. It seemed any chance he got he would touch me either on the leg or the back or the waist...yes...Nila likes. Ha! Ha! It was nice to have a guy who isn't all shy or weird about that. Like another guy I am dating...bwahahaha...and that date (Wednesday) is another blog entry.
He also earned points for having an opinion about everything from dating to politics and boy did he have an opinion about politics; a bad one but none the less he had one. Ha! Ha! He's a democrat and an Obama supporter. Boo! It was so funny because he got really passionate about it and I got just as passionate with my point of view and suddenly the car was filled with lots of words being tossed around, but it was all in good fun. I enjoyed it because the other guy I'm dating wouldn't do that and I like bantering back and forth, it's fun!
However, he did lose points because he didn't walk me to my door and wait for me to get inside. So, not cool. But it may be that he's from Samoa and a bit on the FOB side; however he's been stateside for quite some time, so he should know better. But overall it was a fun first date and he did say at the end of the night he wanted to hang out again. So, I of course was like, "Sure that would be cool". But we'll see, he's a highly career driven individual with that as his focus, so I'm barely on his radar at this point and time but who knows...we'll see. I personally am still holding out for the "other" guy I'm dating. I just need to get him a job. We'll see.
