Our First Date

Backstory

David and I met on a dating app on the 17th of August 2020.

After flying solo for 9 years after my first marriage ended I put my faith in God to find me a Godly man to love and lead me in life, whom I could share my hobbies and goals with and whom could show my two kids how a man should treat a woman. 

David messaged me first with answers to the five questions on my profile.

Then from there, we messaged nearly every day.

The beginning was cute and he was sweet and I had butterflies the first time we spoke over the phone.

We shared the same interests, our morals and values lined up straight away, he was caring and remembering things I'd forgotten we'd spoken about and like me he grew up close with his grandparents. 

We connected on so many levels in the first 4 months over the Covid pandemic as he drove his truck as a delivery driver. 

Everything just clicked!

We went from texting, to talking, to face-timing to meeting for the very first time.

Our First Date

From my Journal 23/11/2020

On the 22nd of November I finally met the man I’d met on a dating site and had been speaking with for 3 months over the phone (during Covid) in person! 

Our first date was nothing short of amazing! We started with us meeting in a mutual location and with him picking me up to take me somewhere “special”. 

I was both anxious and nervous with the fact that I’d be getting into a car with a complete stranger I’d only gotten to know over the phone (I wouldn’t recommend doing this) but I felt I knew him enough and trusted him to take care of me. 

 So after jumping into his car I felt completely at ease, I trusted him completely and the conversation just flowed as we drove to Torquay for lunch! 

 While having lunch over looking the ocean I called the kids! I just wanted to ease any worry they had with me meeting someone new. They were on loud speaker talking up to us as we ate. We were cracking jokes and having a laugh and it was actually really awesome that they got to be a part of our special day. 

 After lunch my David took me to the Anglesea lookout. 

It was absolutely beautiful. 

I’d only been in Angelsea a few months back in July for my birthday weekend but didn’t have the opportunity to go up and just admire its beauty. 

 This is where David and I got to finally let our guards down, talked about a few things that were hard to talk about and ultimately shared our first kiss. 

David’s next plan was to take me to Lal Lal falls but I instead opted to drive into Geelong to find my favorite online store where I buy my Bath bombs, essential oils and a few other things. 

 The remainder of our date was spent down by the Geelong waterfront laughing and joking around together. 

Here I just sat in his arms feeling completely safe and happy as we watched the storm clouds roll in.

 The whole day was just perfect with us just getting to know each other, speaking about serious topics, laughing with the kids, being in each other’s arms and just enjoying each other’s company. 

I am seriously so so happy to have met this man and look forward to seeing him again soon.
