Life Two by Two
Linda's story..
Each had two, a boy and a girl, all nearly the same ages. When they first began dating, Linda and Dale had to meet for lunch. Linda's only night free was the Wednesday night Dale had his kids, and they swapped children on opposing weekends.
However, lunch had its advantages, a limited time and a comfortable setting. The time is long enough to gage chemistry, but not too long to drag on. Still, Dale and Linda both found themselves revealing far more than they would have in an ordinary luncheon. It is something Linda uses to tease Dale.
For many dates, the two met at high noon, then afterwards compared Blackberries for another meeting. Two busy professionals getting together. It wasn't long before Dale had asked his ex-wife to shift weekends. Apparently Dale had figured things out before Linda, but soon enough she arrived at the same place. The two are now married and share a home, kids, and a life she describes as a party.
Linda is a professional woman and didn't want to endure the Internet dating scene. She heard one story at work about a man who met a woman in a coffee shop. When he asked why she was so different from her picture, she replied that she posted her daughter's picture because people said they looked alike.
She actually heard about The Right One from a contractor building an extra bedroom for her mom onto the house. Intrigued and a bit impulsive, Linda was signed up by evening time. Not to sound snobbish, but Linda felt that the fee The Right One charges eliminate "the losers," leaving her with someone like Dale to choose.
The couple dated a year, were engaged a year, and have been married about a year. Their blended family, well, "they certainly act like siblings." said Linda.
