How did you meet? What was your first date like? Give us all the details!
We gave ourselves awhile to talk, to Skype, and to message before we decided to meet. We built a friendship over three months that was simply beautiful and designed by God.
We decided to meet at a small-town restaurant called “The White House” (our joke now is that he set the bar high…taking me to The White House for our first date…) and talked until the owner politely had to ask us to leave because we were the last ones there and it was a little past their closing time. We were so excited to just be with each other and get to talk face-to-face. We were giddy, nervous, excited…all those feelings.
Describe the moment you knew it was true love!
For me, we were partially through one of our crazy adventurous dates. We were sitting at one of our, now, favorite places to eat and while he was distracted by the menu I looked at him and just thought “I’m going to marry this man.” That night when we were ending our date he told me he loved me.
For him, if I remember the moment correctly, it was at a surprise birthday party I had thrown for him with some of our friends at an amusement park. We spent the day standing in lines, running from ride to ride. He actually referenced this memory the day he proposed.
What advice would you give other Christian Mingle members?
Online dating is difficult- it requires you to be vulnerable and open in a way that other forms of dating don’t. Don’t be a afraid to send that message, to start a conversation, to ask the hard and meaningful questions. Most of all…while the internet is at our fingertips, the ability to control our future is not. Keep surrendering your story to God’s timing. There’s beauty in the waiting.
