At least there are two types of love: the love at first sight, like an earthquake or avalanche and the other which develops slowly and you realize it later, that it happened.
Well, after our first date I did not really feel butterflies in my stomach, I had my preconceptions, and you know that there are so many stereotypes about football players and obviously I am aware of all these, but I simply let myself go with the flow…and how lucky I was.
The start was also special, because the mother of my friend thought that we could make a good couple, so she arranged that our paths should cross each other.
We took slow steps to proceed, Tamás had to discover that I am not a whining spoiled beauty queen, and on the other side I had to realise that he is the charming, reliable MAN with all capital letters for me for sure.
This is how we wrote our old fashioned love story without any further interest, only for ourselves and for each other. No mascaras, no acting.
Tomi admitted a couple days ago (not to me but to my Grandma), that he was ready to propose after 2 months of dating, but he was not sure how I would have reacted. He did not want to rush, because he was uncertain about my answer, and he was totally right about waiting for the perfect time and occasion.

I love this date because I was born on a day 7th, so it is some kind of lucky number in my life. I would have loved this day even if it had been an ordinary Friday, waking up, working in the family business and going out with my love in the evening for a romantic dinner, because it was supposed to be our last date in Hungary before he left to to continue his career in Poland.
I did not think at all that this day would be important in my life. When I got home Tomi was explaining to me, that a very good friend of his was planning to propose to his girlfriend in the following year, and what would I think if he would propose to me on the exact same day, would I be happy? I knew exactly that this was some kind of a preliminary rehearsal, but did not expect at all that it was for tonight!

We had a reservation at 8 pm in PomoDoro, which is like 5 minutes away from our place! My love (I call him kis picikém, which I can translate like ’my little baby’) kept saying to me to hurry up and we are leaving now. I did not really understand his behaviour, thought that maybe he was just pushing me to get ready because I am always late – by accident of course – from everywhere.
But now that I know the end of the story it makes sense…
I have known him for more than a year now but I have seen him in a white shirt only once! And this day again…
I felt that this night could be special because we both prepared for it (but did not think that this special)!
When we sat down in the restaurant I noticed unintentionally that the waiters are staring at me…trying to make eye contact with me…
I thought how weird it was, me sitting there with my boyfriend, why were they looking at me and not at the single ladies.
Later it made sense that they were ’communicating’ with Tomi, that everything was fine, just by accident they ran into my stare sometimes.
When we were enjoying our delicious seafood risotto, I noticed that Tomi was a little bit uncomfortable, not so confident, talking about everything in a strange way and I did not understand why. But I ate it all, was listening to him very patiently…:)
In real life though, I am a very curious, a little bit smartarse, I want to know and do everything right away. Getting me is like winning the lottery, haha.
But my superpower failed me this day, because I could not find out any of Tomi’s plan.
When the dessert arrived we were discussing how would we resolve that 800 kms would apart us…
We both knew that it was going to be difficult for both of us, but I was very positive and assured him that I was ready to support him in this. His reaction was the following:
-Well, if you continue to be this nice with me, I might will propose to you next year!
I did not understand, and kept asking what he meant.
And then he just said that he would not wait till next summer! And at that moment I saw on the table my dream ring, no kidding, seriously my dream ring beside the dessert.
I was very close to faint, barely could breath and kept asking if it was real, was he serious, was it only a joke?
And he gave me a funny look from the other side of the table and asked me to stand up…
In the middle of the restaurant surrounded by a lot of people my love kneeled down and asked me to stay with him forever ❤️
My tears were falling, and I knew that he was the one who I would follow no matter where he would go.
I did not think that I could love him even more but it turned out that I could! Our relationship is on a stage where I can only say US! The two of us. No more You and Me.
YES ❤
