I had signed up for online dating after my ex husband left me, at the nudging of friends. Went on a couple dates, met a guy I liked and we dated for a month or two, but broke it off because it wouldn't have gone anywhere for a few reasons. A few weeks later, I logged in with the intent of deleting my account.

I had a few messages, so I skimmed through them. There were the usual "hey" or "hi beautiful" things, which I automatically delete, but at the bottom there was one that caught my interest... it was a whole paragraph.

It said something like "hey, this might come across totally creepy (and if it does, delete this and pretend it never happened) but I work at the hospital with you. I saw your pic and immediately recognized you as someone who has talked to me in the elevator. Anyway, recognized you and then figured I'd check out your profile. It's hilarious & thought I'd say hi, maybe we can talk sometime. Here, or in the elevator again, who knows."

I wasn't sure who he was, but I wrote back. He was fun to talk to, and the online exchanges became texts (much easier to manage). He denied my requests to say hi at work because he was too shy, but one day we ended up on the same elevator and I yelled so excitedly that I made him turn bright red. He hugged me and got off on the next floor, probably mortified.

Next day, his car "wouldn't start" and he asked for a ride to work. The rest is history. ?

S/O's. Tell me how you met your lover, I'm all for love stories!! ❤️
