Molly Found Erik On OkCupid In January 2012

I was riding the bus home from work &amp; decided to search on OkCupid for someone to watch Twin Peaks reruns with. I typed "Twin Peaks" into the search bar and "lopsidedidol" (Erik) was the first profile to come up, with a 98.9% match.
 
We were supposed to meet up on Friday the 13th, but Erik got stuck at work &amp; I had thrown my back out anyway. Instead we texted all night &amp; met up the evening of Saturday the 14th at Rocking Horse in Logan Square. 
 
Initially, we couldn't find each other in the crowded bar. Manic Street Preachers 'Design for Life' came on and I knew it was meant to be. lol
 
I scanned the bar and thought I recognized him. I went to tap him on the shoulder, but I got nervous and said to myself, "You can just go home if you're not feeling up to this." Erik turned around and the voice in my head said "but this could be the guy you marry."
 
Within a few hours I fell in love &amp; decided to take him to my favorite club, Late Bar. We hung out there til last call &amp; I took him home forever.
