I hadn't dated in years because I wasn't meeting single men through my social circles. So, I decided to join "Table for Six." I liked the idea of meeting people in a group setting, rather than the pressure of a 1-on-1 date with a total stranger.
I met Bob at my first "Table for Six" dinner on March 17. We were told that Bob would be arriving late, so our group sat down to order dinner. Later, I noticed a guy walk into the restaurant, and I immediately thought to myself, "I hope that's Bob", and it was!
Thankfully, the open chair at the table was seated right next to me. There was an immediate connection when we made eye contact, but we were both a little shy. We both provided feedback to the "Table for Six" coordinator that we were interested in getting to know one another better.
Anyway, the night we had our first 1-on-1 date, we talked for 4-1/2 hours. We knew this was something special, so got all of the "heavy topics" out of the way in terms of what we were looking for. For example, Bob is divorced and has 50% custody of two teenage boys. He wanted to make sure that I was okay with that (which I was).
We saw each other every night, and talked for hours on the phone when separated. Within 5 days of our 1st date, we were engaged. We are going to be married October 2nd.
We have so much in common and are always on the same wavelength. We laugh so much when we're together. We've met each other's friends and family, and feel that we fit perfectly together.
Bob is one of the kindest men I have ever known. He makes me so happy. He is an excellent father to his boys, and has welcomed me into his family. I will be moving in with him and his boys this Summer.
I have to thank "Table for Six" for bringing us together. I've never been happier.
