Sits at a booth, decides it's too intimate, moves to the bar and notifies the hostess that he's waiting for a date. Said date walks in, plays it cool and taps him on the back, saying hello. The guy shakes her hand. Internally she facepalms but smiles sweetly. Cover blown, this was a match.com date and now the whole bar knew it. We met at the Bavarian Lodge in Lisle, IL, and ended up talking for four hours at the bar! During that time, we covered a broad range of topics and started handing out "gold stars" to one another each time we found something that we liked about eachother. It was so fun connecting nearly instantly and being able to be serious and dorky all in one first date! At the end of the night, we parted with a hug and a wisecrack by Erin about Matt's car, with eager anticipation for the next time we would see one another. We had to see if that night had just been a fluke or if we had really found another that matched us in a way no one else had before...onwards and upwards!
