I met dauntless on an internet dating site, I had been in and out of phases for the last few years, I'd be content as I was, then I'd get an urge to let myself free into the outside world, I'd get urges to jump in to the world of internet dating and on one of those urges, I met my soulmate :-)
I actually remember doing a search, on plenty of fish.com it was coming up to valentines day when the whole world is in the mood for romance, and I jumped on in there.. plus I was reading about uni and fraggles dating adventures :-)
location: I searched for men close ish to me, I'd done the distance thing and it just didn't work out..
age... 30+ I'd had my fare share of msn conversations with 20 somethings ...I had also become good friends with 2 or 3 'older' men, and decided that maybe maturity was what I was looking for..
what was I looking for? I had no idea!! I changed the age back to 28+ and hit the search button and scanned the page..
there amongst maybe 15 other faces was the face of my soon to be husband :-)
he stood out instantly, his eyes so deep and telling.. his face so lost and wanting, needing, something was missing, and something called out to me,
I bit the bullet and sent him a message, I had been conversing with a few people on plenty of fish but my heart wasn't really 'in it'
my first message said 'eyes are the windows to the soul'
his reply, went something like..wow I totally believe that!!
instantly we had a rapoire and I was checking my email by the second in hope that he had replied..
modern dating etches up a step... from may I have your number.. are you on msn../facebook lol :-)
we moved up to facebook, from there. we arranged our first date.. I wont tell you any details of that first date just yet.. but it ended in marriage :-)
So, anyways!! I headed off to plenty of fish tonight, I sent a declaration to their advertising depo, saying thank you blah de blah de blah... then I went to edit my profile..
I'm still on there as single and still recieving messages, so I wanted to edit my profile, tell the world that ....NO I dont wanna exchange msn addys .... I'm not searching anymore, I found the man I want to spend the rest of forever with .. and he wants to spend the rest of forever with me :-)
anyways, when I went to edit my profile, I noticed the 'perfect first date' box.. and so I described mine :-)
......
describe your ideal first date..
I would arrive late, adorning the got ready in 5 minutes look after a kids birthday party ran over time :-)
He would be standing there, flowers clutched to his firm chest, smiling, admiring the got ready in 5 minutes look and ignoring the fact that I was so late.
We'd go to a restraunt, and he would be a perfect gentleman, helping me with my coat, holding open the doors, we would sit and enjoy a meal together, getting to know each other, but all the while feeling like we had known each other for years....
afterwards, and with the knew found knowledge that we both like the occassional joint of green :-) and with the fact that I had a ready rolled one in my car, we head off to a kids playground, walking down the path hand in hand,
we would sit on a park bench and laugh and joke, sharing a joint. Electricity firing through me each time his hand glided against a part of my body,
the attraction instant, the feeling mutual, we were engaged two weeks later :-)
So yeah, I guess I'd say thats my perfect kinda first date :-)
