Longer story alert. This all happened back when I was in my mid 20’s. The year I was engaged to be married, my fiancé at the time and I went out to dinner and drinks with a good friend and a woman (we’ll call her Amber) he had recently begun casually dating after meeting online. And when I say recent, I think this was there 2nd or 3rd date. I had never met her before this night so when they approach us in the lobby of the restaurant, it was the first time we had ever met.
Now, I’ve only had this happen a couple of times in my life but the moment our eyes met for the first time, it was something I have rarely felt. A true connection – love / lust I don’t know what to even call it but from that second, there was something there. She had huge beautiful eyes and a great smile.
The rest of that night was uneventful fun as we dined then had drinks. The connection was definitely strong but we were also respectful to our dates. When that night was over, I had no clue if I’d ever see her again, knowing my friend didn’t have much luck in the dating scene and I could sense it probably wasn’t going anywhere.
