My bf and I have worked together for about 1 1/2 years, but since we are in different departments at the office, we never spoke. Then, 2 mutual friends (a married couple from work) started up a co-ed softball team about 5 months ago, and we both signed up to play.
After the first practice, our team went out to have dinner and a few drinks. We hit it off talking to each other, so the next night our match-making couple invited us both over for dinner. The rest is history!
The funny thing is, my bf says that he always thought I was pretty when he saw me at work but, for some reason, had the impression that I was a straight-laced Southern-Baptist girl who never partied (his words, not mine). He's a Yankee from Cleveland and his family is Catholic, so he just assumed that we would be complete opposites.
He told me later that when he looked down the table that night after our first practice and saw me downing draft beer that he was completely blown away. When he found out that I was Catholic, he was even more shocked. haha!!
