My side of the story is Dave just showed up on my doorstep... which is true. Reine told me he can't pick you up at the house! You need to meet at a  neutral location!

Our backstory (i.e., Carrie the Matchmaker) vetted us, so I felt pretty confident. He learned a few things about me on the first date; he may have to wait a little bit while I get ready, and I will keep him up past his usual bedtime.

I learned that he is very sweet and easy to talk to, and I am allergic to shellfish. It's a big deal...because we both love it... but we can't share it. Traded shellfish for David. Pretty good deal. Plus, I was lucky enough to have had it for 50 yrs. Now I'm very lucky to have him.❤️
