In A Swing State

(I’ve started talking to a girl who had recently broke up with her boyfriend of over a year. She has expressed interest in me, but said she needed time to get her feet on the ground. Several months after that conversation, we are sitting on a swing in her yard. She places her feet on ground to stop swinging, and smiles at me.)

Girl: “My feet are on the ground.”

Me: “Yes… Yes they are.”

(She is staring and smiling expectantly at me.)

Me: “I’m confused.”

Girl: “I said I needed to get my feet on the ground before. Well, they are now!”

Me: “Oh! So we’re, like, official then?”

Girl: “Yes!”
