I had met a girl online when I was in college. She knew some friends of mine through an online game we all played. She was going to be in my home town, I decided to come home for the weekend to meet her in person. It also happened to coincide with a Burger King opening in town (small rural town, so it was a big deal) I asked her to go on a date with me to BK. She agreed, and also being from a small town she understood the big deal of the opening.
While we were waiting in line to order one of the guys I went to high school with tried to sell me an 8 ball and a sheet of acid. He got really pushy, so I decided it was time to leave. She was oblivious to the situation and just wanted to order dinner.
We ended up outside of town at a bonfire instead. Never really did get that first date, but I did marry her 5 1/2 years later.
Take her to that Burger King as a surprise for your tenth anniversary ๐
Next month will be our 23rd anniversary.
Online dating in 2001? What was that like?
2001 was when we got married. We met in 95. I was not looking for a date at the time. I be was playing a text based game, meet someone and we starting chatting. When I asked her on the first date it was mostly a joke as we were going to be in town at the same time.
Arctic MUD?
No, but I did briefly play there. It was an Aber MUD hosted at the university in my home town.
