He fell hard for her…
He fell in love at first sight.
He’s 37 years old and it never happened before. It’s not something he ever thought would happen to him.
His college buddies back in the day called him a bit of a player. He knows that’s not terribly politically correct or really anything to be proud of, but he did go on a lot of dates.
His friends joke that he’s a real life Jerry Seinfeld, always finding something off-putting about the women he dates. Granted, he’s never dumped anyone for eating peas one at a time before, but sometimes when he looks around his empty apartment, he thinks they’re probably not far off.
He’s gone to weddings of his friends and sure, he has a date there, but it’s not usually something that lasts until the next wedding.
He came to the realization a few years ago that he was likely looking at spending a lot of his years alone.
He didn’t really think anything permanent would happen for him.
Then he met her. Brown eyes. Dark hair. Exuberant personality. Fun to be around. Likes to go on hikes.
Perfect in every way.
And when he saw those brown eyes for the first time, he just knew she was the one.
