We met shortly after both arriving to Charleston. Our first unofficial date together was to church. We were required to be in uniform while leaving our base for the first couple weeks, so we had gone in our Navy Service Uniform. While we were there, we met a nice elderly lady with her young granddaughter. We began talking to them and they invited us out to lunch. At lunch the little girl was acting bashful and the woman said, "I think she has a crush on your boyfriend." We both chuckled and neither of us let her know that we weren't dating...not yet anyway.
