Last Friday I spent a couple of hours with our dear HaHa. He likes an espresso place a few blocks from where I live and was going to be in the area, so he invited me to meet for an afternoon jolt.
He's a charmer, just like online. He paid for my coffee (decaf for me - double espresso shot for him) and even encouraged me to get one of my favorite vegan oat bars that they sell there. We are both touchy feely, smiley people who know a lot about each other already, so it was a fun conversation.
This was his first time meeting someone from the internet IRL, and for him I think it was like magic. I felt special and also good-looking since one of the first things he told me was that he expected a plain granola girl (not his exact words) and in comparison I looked glamorous (his exact word).
We discussed our dogs and life as we know it and of course you all (were any of your ears burning?) Then, since it was such a beautiful sunny day we took a walk through Seattle center and into downtown.
We both have our struggles and decisions to make (that we don't feel fully in control of our lives was a common theme) but because of our adaptable natures and LBYM lifestyles (and therefore financial security) we feel that we will do fine with whatever comes our way - I look forward to his continuing friendship.
