So just in case he wasn’t that into baseball or was uncomfortable with how much I am, I chose two themed games I knew he’d enjoy: Marvel Super Hero Day and Star Wars Day. Plus my past dating during baseball season (DDBS and yes, I just made that up) experience had been shitty at best. The ballpark is one of my happy places and I’m quite protective of that. The BF and I had our first outing together at the ballpark…and then another!Īlthough he had done the Spartan Stadion at the ballpark just two weeks prior (*ahem* on my birthday), this would be The BF’s first time at the ballpark for an actual game.

I have much respect for those of you who do this professionally and/or with some level of consistency.īut I’m back right now and OMG so much has happened! I know what you’re thinking…” Damn girl, you’re still here?!” Yes, yes I am.
