I had so much fun with Nate and we went on several more dates and always had a lot of fun, but Nate didn't want to be too serious or be to committed. I liked him and had a ton of fun with him, but I had kind of moved from Hawaii to get away from dating guys that didn't like to commit, so we had a talk and I told him he either needed to be committed and only want to date me or we should break up. He said maybe we should break up then. I was really sad and the next few days went by so slowly.

I went to a stake luau and it was very depressing because there were no guys that seemed even close to as fun and sweet as Nate. I kept wondering if I should have just not said anything to Nate about being more committed, but I decided it was better to not date him then to date him and feel bad about him not being sure how serious he was about us. Nate was going to help me pick up a dresser for my room and after we broke up, he told me he still wanted to help me pick it up. A few days after we had broken up, he came over to help me load it and take it home in his brother's truck. He kept being so sweet to me, and it just made me more sad that we weren't dating anymore.

The next day evening Nate called me and said, "I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm not ready to stop dating you." I was sooo glad to hear those words! I had wanted to call him and say that I missed him so many times, but I didn't let myself. So we were broken up for a total of 6 days and it ended up being such a good thing for us. Our break up helped us both realize how much we really liked each other. We both missed each other a lot more than we had expected.

After we got back together (the day before Halloween) we had a much stronger relationship and it was so much easier on both of us. We went on so many fun dates and had so much fun. San Diego is really such an awesome place because there is so much to do, beautiful weather, pretty beaches and fun surf, and sooo many good places to eat. We had so much fun dating there and I have so many good memories from there (good thing we can visit there lots since Nate's family lives there!)
