Blinded by Love

It all started back in June 2019. Grace and I were working out at Crunch Gym one Saturday morning. During the workout I could feel the eyes of this blonde girl from afar. As I looked over, I thought we were making eye contact ( I was not wearing contacts at the time). This happened throughout the workout. I had never seen this cute blonde girl at the gym before. Figured this was my shot because I may never see her again (prior to what is about to happen next I was/am opposed to hitting on girls at the gym). After my workout I walked up to her, not knowing what to say or do and the words "Hey, I don't ever do this but how old are you?" came out of my mouth. She replied, "I'm 19, how old are you?" I was 25 at the time and asked if that was out of her age range. Relieving she answered, "No, not necessarily". Then, I asked for her name. In my mind I thought I was somewhat in the same age range because she couldn't see I had a nice head of grey hair under my hat. I asked for her number and about a week later we went on our first date. At that time she told me she looked at me a time or two but not as much as I thought she was. Thank goodness for my poor eyesight and random confidence that morning I found the girl I will always love forever. -Bobby
