Her version: Kevin first messaged me, I messaged back even though his couch was weird. We talked about BASEBALL... conversation was going great! Then nothing. I was totally thrown off... the banter was fun and conversation was easy. Did I take it too far rooting for the Dodgers? Welp, he apparently forgot to press send. Fast forward through weeks of phone calls and texts, we finally went out on our first date 3/9/19. I was so nervous I was going to cancel, changed my outfit about 30 times (ask Venus she was on the other side of that spiral lol). Little did I know I had zero to worry about since he showed up in pleated pants and a fanny pack (fanny packs were one of our first inside jokes so actually... extra points). He'll deny the pleated pants but I'm pretty sure they were even starched. Have to give him more points because he did have "cool cool" shoes. Great first date, with continued great conversation while eating awkward salads through first date jitters. He was pretty much amazing. I knew I was in front of someone special. From the start and through the years is one of the best humans I’ve ever met. Who would have thought a New Yorker from Long Beach would find me in San Diego California. I had always wanted to marry an East Coaster! The accent slips out and it’s da best! Lol
His version: I saw her and had to message her. No way!! Seriously?! Ok, she is too pretty but I guess I will risk getting cat-fished. It turns out she was real and exactly who she said she was. I know... odd right? I sent her a message using my best, crafted to perfection note. It was most likely , "Hi, I'm a dumb boy wanna date me?" Anyway, we had great conversations, back and forth and then I was ghosted!! Do you believe that? After all of that great conversation and connection... me.. ghosted. What did I do? What did I say? Did I spell where, wear, we're wrong some "wear". Just kidding. But seriously Why? I had to go back and check and there it was... the answer I was looking for. I forgot to or somehow did not press send on the last message to her. It was my fault. I ghosted her, unknowingly. There it is. I blew it. I will give it one more shot and decided to send out a distress , "You'll never guess what happened.." type message. And it was the best decision I have ever made. We went out on our first date and never looked back. I wore my best khakis and super cool shirt. I picked my coolest vintage Nike Air sneaks. She will say I was dorky but I was cool. I even had a sweet neon fanny pack! But she was great, amazing, beautiful, smart and compassionate. A definite intervention from God himself. Now here we are today ready to take on the world and I couldn't ask for a better person to go through life with.
