Reader Question: How did *Scott and I meet?

I don’t know where to begin with this one. *Scott and I met each other online. There I said it. I don’t know if I am embarrassed or what but I have met a lot of people from online over the years beginning in 2001 with my B2K fan meet up days. I always dread this question because I don’t want people to think I am weird and same thing for *Scott. In fact only my mom and sisters know we met online. I also told *Scotts best friend’s girlfriend we met online too since she had met him the same way too. So why am I sharing it now? Well, other than the fact that I was asked this question, I want people to know that online dating is ok. You are not weird!

When *Scott and I began talking to each other we were cracking jokes on each others profile pictures and whatever. It was nothing about being attracted to him on my end. In fact I was dating someone at the time for about 3 months. He never asked to be exclusive so I didn’t mind making friends.

One day *Scott suggested we should hang out because he was bored and had no plans for memorial day so, I went with it and met him in NYC. I felt like I knew him by then so I wasn’t nervous. I still remember exactly what he had on that day. I white t-shirt, orange and grey plaid shorts and matching Nike dunks. Since it was really nice out he played my tour guide. Our first stop was Artichoke Pizza. It was supposedly the best pizza in town. I was not impressed since I am more of a plain Jane pizza eater; cheese pizza only. We went for a walk around the neighborhood until we found a cool spot to have a drink and smoke hookah. This place is now closed sadly. I think he knew what he was doing because after a few drinks and hookah he became very sexy to me. He looked so cool blowing O’s with the hookah smoke. The next thing I knew we were kissing. I remember that kiss like it was yesterday. His lips were nice and smooth and cool from the drinks. There is something about the faint smell of alcohol on him that drives me wild. From then on we kept seeing each other and here we are nearly 2 years later!
