So here is the wrap up of the Harry and Missy love story.

In December 2011 Harry proposed. Here’s basically how it went down.

When Harry Met Missy (Part 2)

~First Date

Our first date was the first time we had actually met.  We had talked every night on the phone and I felt like I had known him forever.

“More cleavage!”

We immediately fell into a hug and embrace.

 

We dined at a nice restaurant. I felt comfortable and that I could truly be myself.  I felt at home.

After dinner we went back to his house to listen to records and talk.  That’s when Harry “Ted Mosby’ed” me.  He told me that he loved me on the first date.  Though I didn’t say it back and had a very good feeling.  We haven’t been apart much since that night. Exactly two years ago today.

Happy anniversary Harry!

When Harry Met Missy

Things are about to get real sappy here people. Prepare.

Nearly two years ago on March 6^th, 2010 my now fiancé and I met for the first time and had our first date.  These next few posts are telling how we found eachother, had our first date and remain together.

~The Internet = The New Cupid

Over the past couple of years more and more of the people I know have used an internet dating site to try and find a mate.  With shortage on time and being a streamlined world it saves a lot more time to search the internet then going to the bar to scour drunken night life.  Plus, there is a part of you that is more detached from it all.  There is a slightly less sense of rejection when your advances are ignored by no response then in person when someone isn’t interested.  Plus, I always found rejecting people to be very difficult.

Dude I’m not interested in- “Can I buy you a drink?”

Me- “Oh, no thank you.”

Dude- “Come on. One drink.”

Me- “Oh, no thanks I don’t drink.”

Dude- “But you’re drinking something right there.” *takes a sip.

Dude- “That’s a gin and tonic.”

Me- “And that was rude. Good day sir!”

See, difficult.

Anyway, the guys on the website I was paying for were….a little underwhelming.

I was expecting something a little more exceptional crop. My thought process was the guys must really be looking for love and a serious relationship. I mean, they were willing to pay for it like me.

So my friend suggested a free dating site I hadn’t considered. Let’s just call the site “Plenty of Guppies”.  I searched through all the sleaze and stumbled upon…Harry.

I messaged him and waited for a response. And waited… and waited.

He finally messaged back and we started talking online and learning more about each other.  He was away on business so we talked online and on the phone nightly.

Okay so the conversation was more stimulating then that.  But you get the point.

The next post if about our first date, the first time we officially met.
