How we met


Written by Heather....

I have my Best Friend, Rachel, to thank for finding the man of my dreams, and of course Cupid… Ok, Cupid- the online dating app. Rachel had been on the app before and thought I should give it a try. After much hesitation, a million excuses, and a lot of convincing on her part, I agreed to set up a basic profile. A few pictures, and everything else left blank. Oh, big deal! I wasn’t going to meet anyone on here. A little exploration led me to the profile of this handsome man with a smile that was charming and sincere. He displayed pictures with family and friends, and a full profile about himself. I couldn’t help but click like. The next morning at work I received the very first charming message from Matt. Within moments he openly informed me that he had been on a couple dates with the girl in my picture. Whaaat? Rachel?! I immediately text Rachel for confirmation. “Yes, a couple dates. Nothing happened! But girl, he’s perfect for you!” I truthfully wasn’t too sure what I was doing here. My best friend? A couple dates? I Should probably not invest my time with this one…. Oh but my smart and insanely sweet man continued to send messages, and ask questions, and my persistent dear friend would not let up. After two weeks of chatting on the phone, thousands of text, and dozens of happy dances in my room after hanging up the phone with him, I accepted his invitation to finally meet for drinks. As I pulled into the parking lot for our first date, this handsome, broad shouldered man, stood there in his blue plaid shirt holding a parking spot for me. My eyes began bulging big red hearts. The night was filled with so many laughs and an immediate validation to the connection I was feeling over the phone with our many late night chats. He was a gentleman, and had this infectious smile. We talked for hours, laughing, and sharing stories. The night ended with a walk on the pier and a first kiss underneath the dark starred sky with the reflection of the moon on the ocean. I mean, Hello! He instantly threw me head over heels. I knew that night, if this is truly the real deal, I have met the man of my dreams. The real deal it was... That night and every day since has been an absolute dream come true.
