"Happy Birthday, Wilbur. It was such a lovely party that your parents had for your 19th birthday this year."
Wilbur and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. My parents said that we started hanging out around age two and have been inseparable ever sense. I guess it helps that my birthday was just two days earlier, and since our birthdays are during the summer, we typically don't have other friends from school that are willing to attend a party with us.
Who am I kidding. If you look up the definition of a nerd in the dictionary, our pictures would be the provided examples. Wilbur is my only friend. Throughout High School, we never got invited to any parties. Of course, we didn't seek them out either. To us, sticking our nose in a good textbook or playing video games was a perfect way to spend a Friday night.
We were the founding members of the Dungeons and Dragons club at school. Every meeting we could count on exactly two people attending the club. There was that one time that someone walked into the room, but they were lost and were looking for the chess club that met in that same room on the alternate weeks that we were not using it.
The birthday party was great. His mother baked him a chocolate Minecraft cake. Wilbur did invite four other people to attend, but Vindicator, Marlatt1, GiantSloth and HardlyParty all virtually attended as we spent the afternoon playing online video games together.
At some point his parents came into the room to kiss him good night. We just continued to play, as it was a very common occurrence that we would game throughout the night. We took a short break around 2am and grabbed a snack from the kitchen.
Wilbur made a couple of sandwiches while I poured glasses of milk. As we munched on our snacks, he mentioned, "Think things will change this fall as we go off to college?"
"I am sure there will be new clubs for us to join and you will have the opportunity to travel with the marching band," I answered.
"True," he commented, "but I was thinking if things will change around us meeting girls."
"Let's make a pact," I comment. "By our birthdays next year, we have both had sex."
We both finished our snacks and headed back up to Wilbur's room. Before we logged back into the video game, he pulled out a piece of paper and wrote up a simple agreement that by a year from now, we both will have had sex with a girl. I have him change it to reflect a woman, instead of a girl, before we both sign it. He makes a quick copy of the agreement so I could have one as well.
As I log back into our game, I suddenly realize that I don't know the first thing about trying to attract a woman. I just hope that I recognize the situation when it presents itself.

A few days after my birthday party, my parents had a surprise family trip planned for us to go to Riverside, Iowa. I love Star Trek and have always wanted to visit the future birthplace of Captain Kirk. Turns out it is a small town in Eastern Iowa that celebrates every year the future birthday of my favorite original series personality. Of course, we missed the true party back in March for the actual date, but it was still fun to visit as part of my present from my parents.
We arrived home just in time for me and Dwight to register for our college classes this fall. We both are going to major in Computer Programming in hopes of getting jobs with a company like Google or Microsoft. I walked the two blocks to his house so that we could talk through any changes that may need to be made if we didn't get the classes we were hoping for.
Along with my required marching band classes, I signed up for Trigonometry, Intro to Robotics, Virtual Reality Coding and a Physics class that met my curriculum requirements. Dwight was also able to get into the same classes, apart from marching band. He tried once but turns out he can't read music and has two left feet.
One thing that he loves is Debate. He has been a member of our high school debate team and hopes to try out for our college debate team. For his birthday, his parents got him a book called "The Debating Book." We start reading through it and banter back and forth over some of the topics raised. I suck at debating, but Dwight once said, "A one person debate is going to be biased and destined for failure."
One of the topics in the book leads me to ask Dwight what he thought was the best way to approach a woman. "Not much of a debate topic," he responds, but continues. "I believe only a desperate person approaches first. It leads to rejection too many times and can cause a person to double down and approach someone that may not be a viable match for them. If you wait to be approached, you control all the cards and the moral high ground."
I comment, "That sounds true, but might that also be the reason that we are not only virgins but haven't even seen breasts that were not being displayed on a computer screen."
