11 Years

The absolute worst "first date" that I have ever been on, started out great. We doubled with a good friend and his date, went to a really fun Valentine's Dance, and got something to eat. It started out as a great date.

And then when we were getting in the backseat of the car to drive home, a girl walked up who knew my date, and asked for a ride to her house.

He said, "Of course."

As we were driving back, my date asked the guy who was driving, to drop me off first, which I thought was odd. And then, I looked at my date, and noticed him holding hands and cuddling with the other girl.

He barely noticed when I got out of the car, because they had started kissing at that point.

Jerk.

11 years ago today, I went out with a guy, and it started out really bad.

As in, he walked up to me at the beginning of the date and said, "I forgot my wallet. Can you pay for everything today?"

I thought it was going to replace my worst "first date" of all time.

Because who does that to someone they are supposed to love?

(You can read about it here).

Instead, I ended up falling in love with him.

Lucky for him.

(And me).

Happy 11 years, Mike!
