I walked into the Boulder Medical Center pissed. I was training for a race and I got really sick with a head cold that just would not go away. As I was sitting in the chair, I was assessing how my life was lonely. How everyone else had someone except for me, you know, feeling sorry for myself. Then I heard my name, spoken by a deep man’s voice.

I looked up and I was intrigued but tried not to show it. He sat me down in the room and he started to ask me questions about my life and when I spoke he looked me in the eye and LISTENED. When I talked to him I felt alive and heard.

We ended up talking for 5-7 minutes and he walked out of the room to grab the PA. Not a mili second after, he charged right back in the room and said, “Ooops, I forgot to do my job, I need to take your blood pressure.” He made me laugh, not cute, mind you since I was coughing up flem everywhere.

The PA ended up coming in and she assessed my symptoms. She diagnosed me and was about to go on with her day and then I said, “I need to ask you something, woman to woman.” She smiled hesitantly and said, “Okay.”

I took a breath and said, “That guy out there is really cute- but I have had horrible luck with guys lately and I just want to know if he’s worth my time…. like, is he clingy? Wierd? Creepy? Is he smart?” I railed her with questions and she consistently told me that he was excellent. The grabber was when she said, “Let me just say, that I would set my daughter up with him”

So I wrote my number and name on the paper and as I was walking out of the room- I gave it to the PA and asked her to give it to him.

Collin ended up calling me and we went out on our first date at The Rio in Boulder.... talked for 3 hours, walked for an hour after... he became my best friend and most fun to talk to ever since.
