Dan and I met on the Facebook dating app. We were both convienced that we would never meet anyone due to our "high" expectations. Our expectations were not crazy, just specfic. We wanted to meet a Chrisitan, manogamus, drug free, gainfully employeed, conservative. But we soon realized that online dating provided a vast and diverse group of people with various "interests".

Prior to meeting each other, Dan and I both talked online with dozens of people. And if you have ever dated online, you know that you can usually tell within the first couple of messages if this person is someone you would like to continue getting to know. We both met a few people that peaked our interest for a short amount of time, and then their true colors came out.

Dan and I matched in July and I looked at his profile. It it matched my criteria, so I messaged him. However, he did not respond until November! We started messaging back and forth on Facebook until we decided to exchange phone numbers. We talked every night for 2-4 hours until we had to go to sleep. We learned so much about each other during that month.

In January, Dan and I went on our first in person date. Dan was so nervous he wouldn't even eat. Prior to the date, I alerted my friend, Delicia, where I would be in case Dan turned out to be a serial killer. LOL To my surprise, Delicia and her family decided to crash the date! They showed up and introduced themselves to an already very nervous Dan. They didn't stay long and left us alone the rest of the evening.

The following week, Dan again asked me on a second date. He took me to dinner in Bricktown and then to the piano bar. We shared our first kiss at the end of the date.

The rest is history!
