I met a guy on match.com. We talked for a bit and finally met in person. Honestly, I was kind of "meh" on him. He seemed a bit standoffish. We went out to dinner a restaurant I liked, had a great meal and then he asked if I wanted to go for ice cream. I was like "sure" so we went to a nearby ice cream shop, had some ice cream and talked some more. I was still on the fence about him.
So, we finished our ice cream, it was after 10pm and we were getting ready to head out. He looked at me and said, "I had a really great time tonight and want to see you again. How does 7pm next Saturday sound? I can pick the restaurant this time."
I did admire his directness and figured "Why not?" So, I said yes, we went out the following Saturday and he was like a different person - much more relaxed, chatty and open. I later found out he was a *nervous wreck* on our first date because he really liked me and didn't want to "mess it up" (his words!).
Well, he didn't mess it up. We've been married almost 20 years now and have two great kids. :-).
