8 Minutes Ago

8 Minutes Ago

Eight minutes ago, I met the love of my life… or at least that’s how it feels sometimes. A little over a year ago, I decided to join a dating site. I wanted to meet new people and I liked the idea of having a computer arbitrarily give me a percentage that a person would match up with me. I joined OKCupid. I believe the first person I messaged was Alex. However, he was the last date I had… The fourth person I had met. A handsome fellow, and an artist, it was hard to not be interested.

We chatted for almost a month before meeting, I think. We had a fun first date, food, walking, chatting, a comedy club… it was full and we proved to have some overlap of work history and people we knew. We dated for a little while.. he thought I wanted to marry him after a month (I did not), I did want to be around him though.  I wanted to work towards being in a relationship with him. He was nerdy and sarcastic, he was an a-hole like me. We were well-matched from the git.

We dated and in November, got pregnant (but didn’t know this until December). We chose to keep our little bundle of joy, and here we are… a little over a year later.. thick as thieves.. and parents, both of us, for the first time in our lives.
