I just re-read Jesse's post on his and Lauren's first date. I think I might have known they met on Match.com...maybe I thought it was eharmony. But here's where things get all strange and serendipitous, and where I can turn this whole deal into a thing about me.
I met MY HUSBAND on line also.
Well, kind of. I don't like to brag, but we are both fans of a certain band. We both visited their website often. There was a message board, and I mesmerized him with my posts.
We decided to meet at a club where another favorite band was playing. I took my best friend. She was a Cooper back then. Was it love at first sight? More like question at first sight. "Um, what are those leather patches on the elbows of his sweater?", followed by, "what year is this?"
I was a little dumbfounded that he was wearing glasses. Not that there is anything wrong with glasses. But he never said he wore them, and in the one picture he sent me via email, he was not wearing them. Did I mention he wears glasses? Like, all the time? Like, every moment of the day? He cannot navigate two steps without them.
Regardless, I kind of dug him, and when we all went out for a bite to eat afterward, I put my hand on his leg. I think I scared him, as he dropped the potato skin he was eating.
