How We Met

Almost everyone has a story of how they met their significant other and I am no different. I can actually thank an ex-girlfriend of mine for the circumstances behind me meeting my current girlfriend.

My ex had bought me tickets to the Seattle Seahawks-Carolina Panthers game at the end of October and I needed my haircut before I hit the strip clubs in Charlotte that weekend. She worked as a hair stylist and was in there by herself the night before I was supposed to leave for Charlotte. I was really hesitant to go in there by myself because I thought she was very attractive and I even walked by the entrance to the salon four or five times before I worked up the courage to go in. I am really kind of shy and usually end up saying the dumbest things.

I looked like hell that night. My hair was a lot longer than normal, I had moussed my hair to the extent of it being like a block of cement (she referred to my hair as "crunchy"), and I had a University of Tennessee hoodie on. So much for first impressions. It was real close to closing time for her so it was just me and her alone in the salon.

I must have done or said something right because she looked me up at my job three days later when I came back from Charlotte. We went to lunch that day and really hit it off and went out on our first date the next night. That is the first time I have met a woman the old fashioned way in a long time.
