We had talked online since June of that year. He seemed perfect. I would wait to see his screen name pop up so we could chat. I hung on to his every word, he was the man of my dreams.
It was the night before Thanksgiving, the biggest bar night of the year. We had in fact had plans to go out the weekend before, but he came down with a terrible flu bug and he had to cancel. Of course my "girl brain" told me that he had something else going on. I learned later that he was really sick that weekend (maybe one of the only truths I ever got).
I picked him up, yes I know not the "normal" thing to do,and red flags should have gone off, but they didn't. He did not have his drivers license, or a job, but I always look for the good in someone and I saw the good in him. (There is good there).
We had an instant connection. We went to The Rhino, a little hole in the wall bar in my town and we danced all night. I even took him to Thanksgiving Dinner the next day to meet my family. We were inseparable from that point on.
