• Now that I've caught your attention: I will not be talking about the first date itself, but of how it led to it. Why I'd talk about this? It's because I found it amusing and yet unique since I never thought it could happen.

    It all started when me and Jack were making verbal bets at school. Sometimes, I'd bet it would rain or not and he'd say the opposite. Needless to say, I lost every time. It was harmless betting but for some reason it got to my nerves, as if I had the need to dominate somehow. I wanted to win at least once against this guy.

    Then, I remembered something. A joke that a friend said, about how Jack was nocturnal since he could stay up 'till sunrise of the next day, gave me an idea. "I bet I could stay up longer than you in the weekend", said I to him. He accepted the challenge.

    It was a late Saturday afternoon when we started the challenge. We agreed that we would keep chatting with each other through Facebook or Skype since neither of us had webcams to see each other. We also agreed that the first one who admits defeat, does one dare from the winner.

    While chatting:

    Me: "Hey, I thought of one! biggrin "
    Jack: "What?"
    Me: "If I win, you have to act gay for a day with Tom at school. xD"
    Jack: "Fine."
    Me: "What's your dare?"
    Jack: "Hmm, if I win, I'd take you out to a movie next Saturday. It'll be my treat of course. =P"
    Me: "Haha deal xD"

    (Deep inside though I was surprised that he would ask so soon since it's been a month that we actually got to know each other.)

    Throughout the night, we talked about anything that came to mind: games, music and youtube videos. When we ran out of topics to talk about, we played games on Skype to pass the time. Before we knew, it was already 5:30 am of Sunday morning. I was really sleepy but I didn't want to back down. It's not because I didn't want to do his dare; I wanted to know how long I can stay up since the latest I ever stayed up was 11 pm.

    Jack: "Go to sleeep already xD"
    Me: "Neveeerr @.@"
    Jack: "Sleeeeeep"
    (Fighting back the urges to nod off.)
    Me: "sajebfhvsdjkbhf just a bit longeeerr x.x"

    Few minutes later

    Me: "Ah fine, you win"
    Me: "I wanna sleep u.u"
    Jack: "lol yeah! biggrin "
    Jack: "so next saturday?"
    Me: "yah smile we'll talk abt.that later @.@"
    Me: "soo good morning/good night xD?"
    Jack: "good mornight xD"
    Me: "haha oki xD"

    I kept my word for doing the "dare" and we watched a horror movie the following Saturday.
    As of now, I've been his girlfriend for almost two years. I don't regret losing the bet before or else I wouldn't have ended up with this dorky yet lovable boyfriend.
