Las Vegas, Nevada. The grandest of energy and nightlife. Everybody's heard of it. From ranging to being in all kinds of movies, to generating an unstoppable attraction for those who wish to party their life away, Vegas is definitely one of those places that every young person is somewhat attracted to in their life. The flashing lights and constant sounds can almost be an addiction in itself to some, causing them to go overboard and dedicate their lives to a partying lifestyle they can't let go of.
But for me, it will always be the place I had my first time with the girl of my absolute dreams.
And so I found myself walking down the strip one late night all by myself. It was my first time travelling to the city that never sleeps, and I was enthralled by the entire scene. Almost everybody had a smile on their face, and the energy of the nightlife was simply unmatchable to any city I had ever visited in the past. There were so many different attractions and places to tour that it was almost overwhelming for me. All I wanted to do was explore the scenery like a little kid playing on the playground with his friends.
After being taken aback by the positive vibes of energy, despite the smoking of tobacco allowed in nearly every casino, it was then I met her. We ran right into one another, bumping shoulders like something straight out of a love movie. You know, I've never been much of the romantic type, but I always believed in the idea of finding love in the strangest of places. I've never been one to chase a girl to come on a date with me, which was probably why I was single and still a virgin at the time.
It was like a shock of electricity flowing throughout my entire body, tingling me with a desire to escape my comfort zone and finally find love. And what better place to do it than Vegas? We started naturally talking after apologizing for bumping into one another. Sometimes I had difficulties connecting with the opposite sex, but with her it was just so simple and natural. I didn't feel any pressure to hold the conversation as I did in the past.
Before I knew it, I explained to her that my name was Damon, and this was my first time ever visiting Vegas.
After shaking hands, very much curious to get to know her, she explained that she'd been a local and lived here her whole life.
Flattered that she wanted to speak with me, unable to not be attracted to her somewhat strange, tentative aura, we both eventually came to the conclusion that we should hang out together for the day tomorrow. This would be a big step for me. Not only could I be shy around females, but I'd never met this girl a day in my entire life.
Having said that, I needed to push myself out of my comfort zone and really live life the way it's supposed to be lived.
We then made plans to meet the next day and have her give me a full in-depth tour of the beautiful Las Vegas atmosphere.
So the following morning I woke up early, nervous yet eager to get to know this mysterious girl. After brushing my teeth and making sure I did my hair nice, putting on a rather fancy dress shirt to make a good impression, I got on a shuttle bus that took me directly back to the strip. She told me to meet her outside of the New York, New York Hotel and Casino at the end of Las Vegas Boulevard. I saw her instantly as the shuttle bus pulled into the parking lot. After running into her last night, I truly was devoted to getting to know her and what she was all about.
After I got off the bus we greeted one another again, that same flow of electricity and natural chemistry simmering between us like a tea kettle. Without trying to force it or make it unnatural, we easily connected once again, chatting and talking a little more to break the ice between us.
