I first met Richard (Paul) when I moved from Connecticut to Orlando in 1997. I purchased my first house from him. It just so happens that he was also from Hartford, CT the same city where I was born and raised. He was an acquaintance of my mother who introduced him to me. He moved to Miami but would visit us in Orlando whenever he was in town. When my son graduated from high school, we had a graduation party and Richard came (invited by my mother). He cooked a large pot of curried goat (a family favorite). I remember he was dressed in all white and I recall thinking to myself he was handsome. I remember telling my mom that I found him attractive and was interested in him. Fast forward a few months...I was away on a beach weekend, and I got a call from my mother. She told me that there was a someone at her house that wanted to talk to me, and it was Richard. He wanted to know if I would be interested in meeting with him when I returned from the beach? Later, I spoke with my mom and found out that he had gone to her to ask if I was dating or was interested in anyone? She told him yes, she is interested in you {my mom the match maker :-)}. Our first date was a day at the beach. He drove from Miami to pick me up, and we went to Cocoa Beach and spent the day talking, swimming, and lounging - I had a wonderful time! He brought me perfume which I loved. He was funny, engaging, considerate, and a little shy. We have been together since that first date, and he still buys that perfume for me when I run out! I love Richard Ramchand.
