As Kyle likes to say, "We met the old-fashioned way...on the internet." I was in the process of deleting a dating app when I saw his message. Not only did it catch my eye and intrigue me...he was also really cute. Several messages later, Kyle and I had made plans to meet at Seven Arrow Brewing in Fishersville, VA.

I was so nervous before that first date that while I was driving to Seven Arrows Brewing I almost cancelled. I am so happy I didn't!!! While the beer was sub-par (I don't know why I thought a mojito beer would be good) the conversation was amazing! Before we knew it, three hours had passed and it was time to go. While cashing out, the bartender loudly stated "First date huh?" I don't know what it was that gave it away but it made for some very awkward laughs as we walked to our cars. The date ended with a hug goodbye (no kiss) and a promise to message each other later.

Not even a week later we had our second date in Staunton, VA. We enjoyed lunch then walked around the shops in the downtown area. Kyle likes to say this is when he knew he had met someone special. At the end of the date, we said our goodbyes, Kyle snuck a kiss, and we made plans to see each other a few days later.

From that point on, things just fell into place. We took the opportunity to see each other whenever we could and started taking each other around family and friends.
