Very unique meeting
Eric, my TKE and I met online at first. We chatted on AOL in the college chat rooms. We went to the same college, KU. I was in grad school and he was a French major. We just got to know each other....never mentioned meeting.
One Sunday afternoon I got a phone call letting me know one of my students I advised had been struck by another car head on and died. I was alone and pretty sad about it and got online to tell my friends. Eric was on and consoled me. He said he actually knew who the girl was and had met her once at a party at his fraternity house. So, I was helping others have a memorial for her on campus in the next few days and told him to come.
He did....he was in the back watching me the whole time. He came up to me afterward and said hi. Oh god how adorable he was! He asked me out for coffee...I couldn't because I was going with the girls to just be together, after the rough day. He was cool about it and just metioned a concert on Saturday....my god...I was busy again! I felt horrible. So, I called him and asked him out for that weekend a different night. He was a little shocked (thought I was really turning him down), and we've been together ever since that first date.
