How We Met

July 7, 2014

Brian and I met on eharmony. I had actually decided to take the summer off from it and on June 28 he sent me a "wave". When I saw he was only 35 I almost closed him, considering I was 46. I took a look at his profile and was struck by a comment he made in his "What I am looking for" section. Instead of a list of perfect attributes, he stated that he didn't care about looks or weight, he was just looking for "someone to steal my heart away." I was touched by this and gave him a wave back. We started a text conversation that lasted a week, until we decided to meet for ice cream. On our first "official" date, we sat and talked for 5 hours, and we both just knew that something had clicked and we had to keep this going. It was the beginning of something beautiful! What we realized later was that we actually had people that we knew in common and had even been to the same houses of family and never crossed paths until the right time!
