1. Okay think back to the very beginning of your summer, how did you and this person you're currently seeing meet?
Well, we saw each other across a room at a crowded party and that was just it. We didn’t really speak, just clapped eyes on each other and were making out before the end of the night. I was walking along the beach and I lost my flip flop in the water. He saw and immediately dived in after it, saving my shoe for me. After that we spent the entire day together talking, walking and just getting to know each other. A few weeks later we were dating! We met each other the first day the pool was open. By the end of the day we decided we were officially dating. It’s been a blast ever since. Oh we were in the same activity at camp. I had a Smith's t-shirt on and he or she commented about how much they like the band. We just got to talking and eventually were spending every day hanging out together.
2. Wow! You were totally blown away. The person you've been with all summer has just done the most romantic thing. What did he or she do that has just totally wowed you?
We went out to dinner and then made out under the boardwalk of the beach. Rolling around in the sand together was great. He or she remembered that I really like Rock of Love and they TIVOed the final episode for me because they knew we would miss it since we were out with friends that night. I didn't know this person ever listened to a word I said about television or anything else. He or she made me a mixed CD with some amazing bands (some of which I knew and some that were totally new to me) on it. Well on our third date we went to this amazing concert. We sat on a hill and had a picnic under the stars. It was probably one of the most romantic nights of my life and I will never forget a single detail of the evening.
3. Even summer can have it routines. So what do you normally do with the person you like on an average summer day?
Truthfully we just hang out. Being together is the most important thing. We can talk for hours and not even realize that time is passing. Just driving around with this person is fun. We go to a lot of movies together. It gives us something to talk about afterwards, which we don't always have. We don't necessarily see each other every day, but when we do we’ll trade book or CD. We talk a lot online, share photos with each other and talk about what’s just going on in our lives. We have no average day. Every day is a totally unique adventure. We hike or go to the beach, picnic in the park, we even flew a kite one day. It’s like we're packing years worth of experiences into one summer.
4. Well, the summer has to end some time and we assume that you're preparing for this. What generally happens when you and your partner start talking about the end of summer?
We talk about every thing so of course this is something we’ve addressed. I think we'll miss seeing each other every day, but I don't know that our relationship is going to change that much. We'll just talk online a lot. One or the other of us usually gets pretty upset. It's hard to imagine not having all this time together and I think we're both worried about what it’s going to mean for us. I just feel a huge loss when ever I think about it. We try not to think about it or discuss it too much. In interferes with the fun we’re having right now. Nothing really. Is something suppose to happen?
5. You're standing at the airport or waiting for your parents to pick you up, but the time has suddenly come to say goodbye. What is going through your mind right now?
I don't know. I'm really confused. On some level I'm sad because it was fun being with this person, but in another way it feel like a huge relief of pressure. Nothing is going through my mind. I'm just trying to get in as many kisses as I can before we're torn away from each other. Well we've exchanged all our contact information, so there isn't a lot more to say besides good bye. We'll obviously be speaking soon. I'm a scared and more than a little sad. This person feels like they're a part of me now. I don't want that to go away.
