The 1st day

Chatting online with someone you never met may cause you to develop all kinds of ideas on the person's character and appearance.  We first started communicating after first meeting on a chat site. It was his picture that drew me to his profile. We exchanged hellos and eventually exchanged msn addresses and then we would chat every now and then.  Our work schedules were one thing we had to deal with...I worked 8am to 5pm, he worked 2pm to midnight...so our chats were usually at my lunch break or when he got in from work...and on days he wasn't working and I was, we would chat briefly before he was heading out with friends...and when I wasn't working and he was, we'd catch each other briefly in between whatever it was we were running off to.
But then is came to pass one day, when I was off of work and happened to go online and find him there and not at work. We began to chat and after a few hours decided that, since we were both free, we should meet. I was so excited...but my excitement quickly turned into anxiety. I mean, sure, we got along quite nicely online, and had so much to talk about and share...but what if, in person, we did not connect? What if we just didn't like each other? These are the thoughts I'd scare myself into...and it wasn't long until I started feeling nervous.
I showered and dressed and headed out to catch the bus...all the way wondering and worrying. I arrived 10 minutes before the planned time...he was 15 minutes late. That extra time was all I needed to get more anxious and wonder if he would show up at all.  The mind plays funny tricks on us when we are anxious.  He did finally arrive and though he looked much younger in person than in his pictures, we hit it off right away.  It was like meeting up with an old friend and catching up on life...we talked and laughed, sharing a Sangria...and the more we talked the more I grew to like him...and I would be bold enough to say 'love at first site' because I did like what I saw.
Though we were from different worlds and different generations...we had much to share...and we fit each other really well.  It was unbelievable how much we shared in that first meeting.  And, I am happy of the fact that the moved in together after having only met a few days before.
I had found my soulmate online, of all places, and if it hadnt been for that chance of us both being online at the very same time, we might have never met for you see, he was planning on heading back home to Mexico that very afternoon...but put it off to meet me! I did not know this until some time later...happy I am he had not told me or I might have made him catch his flight...happy am I that he did miss it, because I have never been happier!!!!!!
