want to pay for the membership thatwe found each other's user handle and then
started chatting on aim, which wasaol instant messenger for those that are of
that generation, you know, thatwas the cool way to chat with people.

But I'd never dated anyone online beforeand he hadn't either, So we
actually spent a couple of weeks talkinglike chatting on the computer and then talking
in the phone before we ever hadour physical first date, which was what
what did you guys do? Sohow romantic was it? I mean,
I guess that depends on your definition, but it was very much not a
typical first date. We happened toboth go to the same college. I'd

love to say that, you know, looking back, that I have this
great first date story. But wemet in the cafeteria of the college campus
and just had a really awkward conversation. So you guys meet up, it's
a little awkward, getting non traditionalwhat happens. Then at that point he
started telling me the story that hisparents were getting a divorce and his father
