How They Met

Part 1

Well when I was 26 I became single again & not knowing where I wanted to search for a good man. There was 1 suggestion that seemed to be coming up that I could not get away from & that was the suggestion of trying the Internet. I initially blew this off & didn't think twice about it but after a while I could not ignore this suggestion.

Well after a lot of work I finally came up with an ad I thought was not too intimidating & would hopefully attract that man that I was looking for. Well initially I felt that I had wasted my time & energy with this idea. I felt I had wasted my time because the first couple of dates I went out on were a complete waste of my time because these guys were not what I was looking for, but I figured I would be patient.

I had decided that I would give the men a whole lot of info. about me, I figured maybe the less info. I gave out would weed out the men that were not looking for a commitment. Well initially when we met online like all the others I only gave him the bare info. & communicated with him via the dating site, we eventually took the next step & moved our communication to via personal email, & again I carried this on for a while. I figured he will either get sick of communicating with me this way or if he sticks around & he is worth investing time into.

Well by this time I would have to say we had been communicating for several months & he was still around, to my surprise. Eventually I figured I would take a chance & I decided to give him a call, I was thinking what’s the worse that could happen, I call him this one time & never speak to him again, but since our emails back & forth were always worth looking forward to, I had a pretty good feeling that a phone conversation would go well.

So one evening I finally gave him a call, the conversations was great as well, so well that I believe that first conversation was 4 hrs or more, but I still did not give him my #, I decided to wait then he came out one day & asked me so what does it take to get your # from you. I stopped & thought about it for a few minutes, then I gave in & gave him my #.

Part 2

So as we headed into winter we were still talking via phone but still had not met in person. It was not that he had not asked, I had turned him down on 4 or 5 different occasions. So I knew he was not going anywhere in the near future, & I wanted to take as much time as possible to get to know one another, & by this time I had shared a bit more with him like giving him approximately where I lived (still not exactly)

Well one Saturday afternoon while sitting at home I decided to give him a call, well he happened to be in MD at the airport to change some tickets, so we spoke as he was heading home. Well he must have decided to skip his friends birthday party he was supposed to go & come over because as he was driving along he happened to mention that he was driving past the NRA building in Fairfax, with this I commented with "Oh I live near there.". He answered back with something like "I know that was the idea." I did not catch on, so we continued to talk until a little later in the conversation when he mentioned he was on Fairfax Cty Pkwy & he asked me what road off the pkwy do you take to get to my house, with this I actually told him still not catching on, until he mentioned he was right there.

Then it dawned on me, he had decided he was coming over so I ran to my room to change. So a few minutes later he was at my front door & here we were finally meeting in person. I invited him in & we sat down on the couch where we spent the next 16 hrs talking about everything. We ended up talking so long that next thing we knew we looked outside & the sun was coming up.
