Concert with the Tall Guy

Tall Guy and I had been on approximately 2 dates, had flirted ridiculously over the phone and texted every waking minute of the day. For our third date, he'd scored tickets to the U2 concert. YAY! I was so excited to go to a concert, it had been ages.

And who doesn't LOVE U2??

The day of the concert I rushed home, changed quickly and was walking the dog outside the condo when the giant arrived. Apparently my dog is a fierce protector because he bounded over and rubbed his body all over Tall Guy's legs. I thought it was fate. My dog was even crazy about this guy.

We sat in traffic for 2 hours getting to the concert. If we hadn't had so much to talk about it would have been extremely uncomfortable. There was much talk of music, listening to different bands on his iPod to see if I was familiar with them or liked the tracks. So, far... great time.

The concert stage was massive, and we arrived just in time to grab a beer and rush to our seats before U2 took the stage. We were in the nose bleeds, but it didn't matter. The music and lights could only be described as crazy amazing and I kind of liked being able to sit back in Tall Guy's arms and just enjoy the sensory overload.

Having to yell at each other over the music sucked, especially since he insisted I yell into his less deaf ear. So I was constantly leaning over his huge body to the opposite side. Needles to say, I butted heads with him a few times. I would have been mortified, but then he leaned over and yelled in my ear "This feels like falling in love!"

It really did. Everything was exciting and vibrant. The music pulsed, I felt good in his arms. There was a glow around us. Transported back in time I felt like I was a high school freshman again, having a first crush. And he kept telling me how beautiful, sexy, desirable I was. Who wouldn't love that?

We left early, running through the arena with hands entwined. When I couldn't keep up Tall Guy would swing me up into his arms. It felt surreal... But finally I was happy about dating again.
