FALLING FOR SOMEONE that does not want a romantic relationship is challenging.
Yet I knew the implications that would arise before I started to like Eric-it was a risk, a risk that I was willing to take.
In life, we have two options when it comes to a major milestone or factor in our lives-we either go with the flow; not take a chance at ruining the impeccable wave that life throws at us or we can take a risk and live it without anyone blocking our path and do want we want.
I wanted to indulge in this new fond desire of mine but my anxiety and overthinking had got the best of me.
What if Eric just tosses me away like a doll after he's done playing with me?
Is he just using me for sex?
Does he have feelings for me?
All of these insecurities were eating me up and I could not stand it-not one bit. And what makes my dilemma worse?
Eric decided to have a 'Date month'; he came up with the idea while we were having sex one day.
Gosh, he's so weird sometimes but I like him.
He says that this whole month of June we are planning dates for each other. I found it weird, not because he wanted to go out but the whole concept of a date month.
What do people do on dates?
They get to know each other on a mental and emotional plain.
It's peculiar for a boy who only has sex for pleasure to want to go on dates with someone-and with someone he hardly knows, mentally that is.

DATE 1-ERIC
He planned the first date which was a visit to the aquarium which I haven't been to in a long time. Eric wanted to eat some fish fingers for lunch and I said that was wrong and insensitive and he just laughed.
DATE 2-LILIANA
The second date I planned; we went to a bookstore and perused the many books in the quaint shop. I saw Eric engrossed in a book, when I stepped closer to him; he put the book back its place. I shrugged at him and went to purchase my books that I had chosen before hearing him murmur.
'They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.'
That was a quote from, This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
DATE 3-ERIC
He took me to a comedy show and I have never ever seen Eric laugh so much or smile like that for that matter. He was having fun and so was I.
DATE 4-LILIANA
I took him to a drive-in and watched a movie, well tried to watch 'Call me by your name.' Eric insisted that we make-out in the car like normal teenagers and just goof around.
