We like to say we met at tazza, a classy martini bar. Which is, in fact, very true. The first time we met face to face, that is.
Here is a brief timeline of events.
August 26, 2005: "Hey cutie, hit me up if you want to grab drinks sometime."
- Rich, via MySpace {it's true. We met online.
Just about a week later: "That's bold of you. And how are you today {or something way dorky like that}." - Sarah, who read the message shortly after recieving it, forgot about it, because she had just celebrated her birthday, & took a few days to sober-up & realize she almost missed e v e r y t h i n g.
About two weeks: Chit-chat back & forth about art, life, families, hobbies, jobs, & so on. We decide to meet on Tuesday, September 13.
September 13: Sarah forgets her sister is coming to visit {I know, right?} & has to cancel last minute. Cannot get a hold of Rich via MySpace, tries to text him {any way to avoid actually talking on the phone...}. He never calls her back. She thinks that he thinks that she stood him up & therefore, will never agree to meet her again.
September 14: Sarah sends Rich a...well...not-so-nice message via MySpace bascially telling him that if he does not want to meet her then he should be ever-so-kind enough to tell her. Rich writes back saying, in fact, he did respond to her message, she just did not get it. *note* Sarah believes him because MySpace often sucks. We agree to meet that night.
That night: We meet at tazza. Talk about lucid dreaming & who knows what else. We go our separate way, both realizing that some good has just begun.
Fast-forward through many, many dates, concerts, movies, dinners, parties, & good times...
New Years 2006: Sarah decides Rich is her boyfriend & will refer to him as that in conversation.
April 2006: Rich decides he will {finally} call Sarah his girlfriend.
And that is the somewhat fuzzy timeline of how we met.
