Lora happened across the most intriguing Match profile: it opened with "I’m a high-functioning berserker with a dull axe and sharp wits." and closed with "I’m a work in progress and I wouldn’t have it any other way. People don’t have finish lines." She liked his sense of humor and authenticity and emailed him. Ed asked Lora to meet him at Mox, a gaming place in Bellevue, and Lora said she was "game". Haha. Ed said to come casual, but have him tell you about his first impression of Lora as she got out of her car... Anyway, the two met, played a few board games, (so as to avoid the 20 questions game Ed hates), and he invited her to dinner at Swish Swish. They had the hottest "not kiss" ever at that dinner, and sparks were flying. Within days were totally in love with each other and their love has deepened every day since.
