29 Key Matching Dimensions

There is no secret how Chris and I met. Although I am always a little embarrassed and proud to fully admit it, we were matched on EHarmony. I had hit an all-time low in the dating scene. As a teacher whose co-workers are all women and a member of a all-women a cappella group, I wasn't meeting anyone new. People were anxious to set me up with their cousins and friends. Wow. After meeting up with some of these fools, I was starting to seriously consider a life of celibacy.

On April 4, 2007, we were matched up. I looked at his profile and thought he looked cute. I am a sucker for for blue eyes and dimples. He was a Yalie, though. For one reason or another, I kept being matched with ivy leaguers. I met two of them and they were crazy. So, luckily, Chris was cute enough to keep. He then contacted me and we started emailing. I really started looking forward to his letters! We started talking on the phone and set up a day to meet.

On May 23, 2007, Chris and I met at the Starbucks in Watertown, CT. I figured this was a neutral place. Watertown is my hometown and is 30 mintues from where I live. You could never be safe enough! I arrived early and ordered my drink. When he arrived I was suprised he wasn't shorter and I was shocked he was so cute! He made me so nervous... I chattered like a monkey. I guess that was a good thing! We had our second date a couple weeks later. We saw Mr. Brooks and had ice cream at Pralines in Southbury, CT. Our third date was a leisurely walk on the Canal Tail in Hamden. It was all over then, we were inseparable. Look out world!!
