On one fateful day, August 18th 2021, I was supposed to meet my girlfriend for dinner. She called me saying she couldn’t make it, so I didn’t want to hog a table in a place where it’s always so busy. I decided to sit at the bar. Ted was sitting next to me and commented on my stone crabs, escargot and king crab. I had plenty of food and started sharing with him. Before I knew it, we were talking about what we do for a living. Coincidentally, we both were in the same industry and worked for competitors. We also both lived in the same zip code like two miles away from each other. Not once did I think he was hitting on me, and felt comfortable enough to give him my number. Throughout the course of about six weeks he would text me and invite me for a drink. I wouldn’t go. Finally, October 8th I asked him last minute out to dinner. Since that night, we have been together ever since. I think it’s the cowboy boots that did it for me. The picture up top is the first selfie we took at the restaurant on an October 8 th. We both commented about how it looked like we have been together for years there. Most importantly the relationship him and our boys have sealed the deal. Ted is an incredible father.
