Blogmas Day 7
Picking up where we left off in the last article about my husband and I meeting online!
After waiting a little less than week after first seeing my now husband’s dating profile, on December 3, 2019, he messaged me on Instagram where I had followed him, “Hey Grace, how are you doing? (:”
Very soon into the conversation, my husband asked to take me on a date that upcoming Saturday. Yikes, that is less than four days away. I’ll tell him I need to check my calendar to make sure I wasn’t busy. Hopefully, that’ll buy me some time.
I was hesitant. I had been on a lot of terrible first dates. I wanted to text longer to get a feel for him.
As the days followed, he kept persisting. I decided to take my mom’s dating advice, “Grace, it’s a free dinner. If it goes bad, you’ll never have to see him again.”
