He didn't know how to ask her out. He had never been in a relationship before, let alone with someone so different from him.
But he found the courage to do it. "Do you want to go out with me?" he asked, trying to sound confident.
The girl looked at him with surprise. "Really? You want to go out with me?"
He nodded, feeling nervous for the first time in a long time. He didn't know what he was getting himself into, but he knew he wanted to be with her.
They went on a simple date, just walking around the park and talking. He was surprised at how easy it was to talk to her, how she didn't judge him for his attitude.
He realized that there was something special about her, something he couldn't quite put into words. And as they walked back to her house, he knew he wanted to be with her for a long time.
