Ryan and I met on a dating site online. We both realized after looking through each others profiles that we had seen each other before, while working at Medtronic in our previous positions. Our first date was at a restaurant/bar on White Bear Lake. We had a couple drinks and talked for quite a few hours. It turned out we had a lot in common and got along really well. At the end of the date we kept trying to say goodbye (gotta love the long MN goodbyes), and we hugged each other about 3 times. Every time we did and we would think we were leaving, we would start talking again. It was kind of awkward - not going to lie, so I really didn't think he would contact me again. However, I was wrong and he asked me to go out again shortly after, and the rest is history.
