When I met the person that is now my wife in 2011 I actually did it in an old fashion way. I saw her in a restaurant. Thought there was something special about her and asked her out for coffee.
She later changed her mind then the next week met me for coffee at the most popular Starbucks in town.
She told me when we met for coffee she could not stay long because she was going to another event. Then we talked for two hours over one cup of coffee.
It was six weeks before I knew where she lived.
It was eight to nine weeks before we slept together.
The out come is we did not rush. We enjoyed getting to know each other.
We found we had a great deal in common even though she was younger and from Eastern Europe.
What impressed her was she said I acted like a gentleman and not a boy.
