A year ago, on the 10th November, one of my very good friends was robbed. It was a horrible time and understandably, caused her a heap of stress. As a result, she decided that she could not go to the Cold Play concert that we had tickets to. So I need to find someone else to go with. I had been talking with a guy on line for the last couple of weeks and really enjoyed his warmth and sense of humour. I knew I wanted to meet him in person, and had arranged to have lunch with him on the 10th, but ended up cancelling so I could be available to support my friend. I then decided, on a whim, to call him and ask if he wanted to come to Cold Play with me.
It was only after I asked the question did I start to freak out. What had I done?!?!? Most first dates are coffee dates, short, non committal etc etc. THIS first date was kinda huge and had the added degree of difficulty that my sister and brother in law were also going to the concert.
I needn't have worried. This wonderful man turned up, whose smile captivated me as soon as I saw him. His easy going nature, humour and positive outlook on life made the conversation easy. By the end of the concert I was hooked.
I remember the drive home with my sister and brother in law, smiling the whole way. Not sure if he would call. Not sure what to do next. I remember daring to hope that something more would come of this.
So now it has been twelve months, and this lovely man is mine to adore. I know one year is such a short time, but for me it is a milestone.
Thank you Chad for being all that you are. For bringing the best out in me and forgiving the worst. I love you.
