How we met is amazing!

Point Pinole

Believe it or not, we met on Match.com. David contacted me via Match messenger. He was hesitant because he wasn't in my height requirement (I USED to prefer taller men - like 5'10"+). But, he figured, what the heck, she has dogs and if nothing else I can make a new friend. When he first sent me a message, I responded right away, letting him know if he wanted to meet me it had to be soon, as I was canceling my subscription. I had been on there for almost 3 months and hadn't met anyone. And he did just that! I think we met within a day or two of that message. David wanted to pick me up from my place to go to the park with my dogs. But I told him I only meet at a public place for the first time. Explaining he could be a serial killer or something!! So we agreed to meet the next day at Point Pinole. I was to bring my girls and he was to bring dinner. David brought some yummy burritos. Little did I know he got them from a customer, so he got buy 1 get one free. Now some of you might think that is terrible, but I don't. First of all - they were delicious! Second, why spend a lot of money on a date that you aren't sure will work out? You are there to get to know each other. We had our burritos and played with the pups. Then went for a walk along the bay. David also brought his camera and took lots of pictures. It was very casual and great. The evening was winding down, but I wanted it to continue. It was a Thursday night, which was karaoke at Pete's Place (now Chuck's Corner) in Pinole. I asked him if he had other plans for the evening and he said no. I told him of my plans, but that would mean he would or could come over to my place until karaoke started. His response was funny - "So I guess I am not a serial killer?" (I laughed) It was very clear he was a gentleman. We hung out at my place for a couple of hours, as karaoke didn't start until 9 pm. We had a great time - and been together ever since. (More to the story - so please ask).

For all the days along the way
