First Date

My first date off my mission was also my first experience being alone with a boy I wasn't related to after having practically memorized the white handbook.  I wasn't exactly sure how to act.  I shook his hand when he first got there but then after my awkward chuckle laugh thing, that I had developed when I got home, he gave me a hug.  After talking for an hour or so about the mission and such we went to dinner and I loosened up a bit.  But it did take some internal struggling to finally realize that I wasn't breaking any rules and this was a perfectly normal thing to be doing on a Friday night.
