Part 2 of 3 The "Wonderful" Life of Dating

Right after Jared came home from his mission, he looked Megan up on Facebook. They began talking and he didn’t take long to ask for the digits. But it took a while for him to use them wisely. They texted for a couple more weeks until Jared got the courage to call Megan on the phone! She was in the middle of her car trip to Provo for the school year. They ended up talking hours over the phone through Wyoming and Nebraska. They basically picked up right where they left off over two years before.
Jared shyly asked Megan on a group date with his roommate. Megan said it was adorable how nervous he was when he asked. They made Fajitas, went to a concert at Sammy’s Café and watched Night at the Museum 2. Megan remembers how cute he was during the movie; they just slouched down and talked the whole time. She started to see more than friendship at that moment. It took Jared a lot longer to realize this. They went on a couple more dates: to the duck pond to feed the ducks and to Diego’s Tacos to devour authentic Mexican food (he oddly made her pay, she thought it was weird but he now says he was just trying to pull out his wallet). After that, Megan invited him on a few other dates when he decided he couldn’t go and actually stood her up one night. She had enough, especially when he called to ask for advice about a girl he’d been dating. He asked Megan to become his best friend and “hitch.” Megan said, “I already have a best friend,” and backed away. She was too nice to turn away forever and did become the hitch. They went on friend dates (Dutch) every Friday to discuss the boys or girls they were dating separately. 


The planets aligned and the fireworks finally exploded after Jared saw Megan with a boy she started to date seriously, maybe too much for him to handle. They discussed their friendship that same night after Megan’s friend went home and they both agreed they liked each other. The next day was a meteor shower and Jared decided to take Megan into the freezing cold and watch the stars. Little did HE know that’s exactly how to oooo and aaaa Megan. He hesitantly kissed her that night too timid to scare her away; he knew many boys had done that before. They fell in love after many more late nights of talking and talking and more talking. They became best friends, and it was nearly impossible to live without the other.
