It looks like I already wrote about how I "picked out" my husband on AOL instant messenger 10 years ago. Today marks the 10th anniversary of the day we met in person for the first time. My friend Jenny U. had gone up to the Chili's in Grapevine with me to meet him. This was one time I was glad that I had lied to my parents because I don't think, "Mom, I am going to Chili's to meet this guy that I have never met before but have been talking to on the internet." would have worked for my Mom. (Even though I was 22 at the time.) Jason and I were both very shy, so my friend Jenny had to ask us questions to get us talking. Later people who noticed that we were both shy would comment on the fact that it was "amazing" that we met and talked to each other at all.
I always make remarks in my head when I see commercials for E-Harmony.com and other dating sites. Maybe one of thos sites worked for you, but I took a risk and met my husband for free. We are friends with a couple that dated off and on a few times before they got married. Jason and I think it's funny that as long as he knew the guy and I knew the girl, we never met each other before April 7th 2001. The important thing is, we have been together for the past 10 years...I love you Jason!!!
