Peter offered to take me to dinner at King Sushi for our first date after matching on Hinge a few weeks prior. I liked that he offered to take me to sushi instead of the local watering hole, Sidewinders; but I was still apprehensive to say yes. I figured I was setting myself up for another night of repeated small talk and story swapping on all the EPIC adventures we'd been on. Yawn. However, this wasn't the case at all. Conversation flowed easily over dinner with the help of a few glasses of wine, and by the end of the night I felt pleasantly surprised by how natural our connection was. We each seemed to bring forward the right amount of success, heartache and ambition for a new relationship to blossom. For the first time in a while, I felt hopeful. Less than two short months later Peter found himself saying three very big words to me under a sky full of stars and fireworks at the Snowking ballpark and well, the rest is history.
