Oh goodness where do I start... lol 😂I absolutely love our story!! So in early 2015 I separated from my ex husband after 6 years of mental, emotional, and physical abuse. He in turn left completely, as in I don’t know where he is and haven’t heard from him. On my birthday 11/14 of 2015 I actually met Erik. We were going out to dance salsa, bachata etc and he was actually invited by my friend to be her dance partner. Lol (I had a date that night) In January we casually started talking and had ran into each other a few time while out.Then he called me and said, oh so sweetly, “I know you’re very busy, but I would like to take you out to dinner some time. Just let me know whenever you’re available, okay.” (I have 5 children and I was working and taking them to extra curricular activities🙈) Literally in my mind, I had NO intentions of wanting to date anyone! I was bitter and so over men!! Haha However, I like to eat, so I took him up on his offer. I never imagined that night to go as it did! We went to O’Charlies and as soon as our conversation started it was as if I had known him forever! It flowed effortlessly and was the best date I’d ever had!! After that night I was drawn to him... our conversations left me wanting to hear more from him. It’s like I’ve never met someone that thinks or talks like ME and I wanted to know more!! Needless to say, I was intrigued. By the beginning of February we were claiming each other 🤣We don’t even have an official “start date” because it was something that just became.... Even now 3 1/2 years later, we are still intrigued by one another!!
