Meh, face to face dating sucks. Lying to each other for 3 hours really isn’t a good way to start a relationship. If 2 people have the chemistry they’ll make a relationship out of it, if they don’t they won’t. The wife and I were supposed to be a quick hookup, 25 years later we’re still on the hook.
I think that's true. I was ready to take a break from dating because I was sick of it, but I was nagged to go on a blind date, and I finally gave in---reluctantly. I wanted to get it over with. From the moment we saw each other, we were impressed, and the dinner itself was different from any other date I'd been on. Something just clicked in a huge way...it was like we'd known each other forever. We were married in '96 and we're going strong today.
