It was a combo of the first 2 dates with an ex that really couldn't have been more perfect.
So in my mid 20s I was walking out of the mall during Xmas time and this guy comes running up from the parking lot and goes "oh my god babe I am so sorry I am late. Please don't go!"
I'm like "excuse me?"
"I'm so sorry for making you wait for me. Let me take you to lunch to make it up to you."
It was so corny but creative and he was cute. We went to lunch and the chemistry was wild. He walked me to my car and we started making out and he got noticeably aroused and there were lots of people around, but neither of us wanted to part just yet so we drove around to find more secluded spot.
We found a more quiet spot and fucked in my car (don't judge lol). It was the quickest meeting to fucking I have ever experienced. Like less than 2 hours. I was Christmas shopping and certainly did not plan on my day ending up like that. It was hot as hell ngl.
2nd Date: We spoke more after the first "date" and we agreed that it was undeniable attraction but we also had crazy chemistry so he asked if I wanted to see him again. I tried to play it cool, but yea absolutely. We got some burritos and watched the sunset from the grassy hill in Balboa Park. It was beautiful. We took a walk through the park, talking about our interests and what not. Turns out we are both really into Horror stuff. One of the museums was doing a Torture exhibit and in my head I'm going "holy shit I want to go in but I don't want this guy to think I am a weirdo".
Him: "WHOA COOL! Wanna go?!"
Me: "Nuh uh, really??!!"
So we did that and it was gross and awesome.
Start walking again, flirting, getting handsy, kissing etc. We are walking over the Cabrillo bridge and as we pass a manhole, we hear these little cries of desperation from some type of animal beneath the manhole cover.
Him: "OH MY GOD! Some poor animal is stuck in there! We have to save it!"
I am a HUGE animal lover (he didn't know this yet) and I was kinda standing there just baffled as this guy runs to the end of the bridge and gets a big stick and manages to pry the manhole cover off, just...being such a fucking MAN! A sensitive, take action, veiny forearm having, animal loving, animal rescuing Man.
We're looking down in there's little raccoon eyes in there. We back far away from it and it took like 10 minutes but it finally climbed out and ran off!
That boy got so fucking laid that night and several hundred more times over the period of the next 3 years. Our relationship ended but that was a moment I will never forget. I know it wasn't true love that early after meeting him but I was absolutely smitten after that.
TL;DR he saved a whimpering raccoon stuck in a manhole. Sorry for the novel.
