They say timing is
everything. It was with Brian and Debby.
I’ve known Brian since the 80s
when we worked together. After his wife Sue
passed away he took time to move on.
When he was ready to date again he decided to join a dating site. He joined Match.com
He had several dates but no
sparks with any of them. One girl he
went out with they met at a parking lot and he drove them to Sikeston to eat at
Lammerts (Home of the Throwed Rolls). As
soon as they came back to her car, she couldn’t get out of the car fastest and
into her car. Brian had no idea what was
going on. Like all us in the dating
scene you think you’ll never meet anyone.
Then came along Debby. She messaged him first on Match. She wasn’t in the age range he was looking
for. She missed the cut off by one
year. But she went ahead and messaged
him. When Brian saw the message, he
checked out her picture and profile and was definitely interested. He couldn’t wait to meet her.
They went out and the sparks
were there. They dated for a while. Debby her some personal stuff that she didn’t
want to burden Brian with so she said they should go their separate ways. They were a part for a year. But Brian didn’t give up. He would send her cards and the occasional
text.
Then on New Year’s Day he sent
her a text that said, “Wishing you a happy New Year with love and
happiness.” They started texting
after that and it brought them back
together and they’ve been together ever since.
During their separation Brian
did date but they just weren’t Debby. He
knew she was the one.
When I posted that I was
looking for success stories Brian was the first to reply. Thanks Brian and Debby for sharing your story
with me.
This is just the sweetest
story and I couldn’t be happier for them.
