The second half of the date was much better, and I was kind of surprised to learn that Dave and I actually had some things in common. But then after a while he started bringing up some topics that I was interested in (a hobby, and a particular cause which I felt strongly about). Anyway, the date started out slow, and it was mostly Dave talking for the first half. I had actually considered cancelling, but I was having really bad luck dating at that point (more on that later!) so I decided that since I had no other plans, why not. Plus, I admit I didn't really want to be there. I remember the date started out a bit awkward, as our previous encounters had always been within a group, so it was the first time it was just the 2 of us. He was persistent, and one night after maybe 1 drink too many, I agreed to go on a date with him. Anyway, when Dave started coming around, he would after a while try to chit chat with me it was obvious he was interested, but I tried to decline his advances as gently as I could. I'll admit that at first I wasn't particularly attracted to him, not that he's ugly! He just wasn't the type I was into at that point in my life. We just bought a house a couple years ago, in the suburbs outside of a larger metropolitan area.ĭave was an acquaintance of a coworker (Mark), so about 5 years ago I started to see him frequently at the bar we'd go get drinks at after work. We have been married for 2 and half years now, we have an adorable 20 month old daughter, and I am currently 4 months pregnant. So I (32F) met my now husband (37M), who I'll call 'Dave' (not his real name) about 5 years ago. apologies if this gets long, I haven't really been able to gather my thoughts. Never though I'd be making this kind of post, but here I am. I looked online to see if I could find any information regarding my issue, well, at least not anything anything helpful. I'm not a regular Redditor, but I do sometimes browse the site when bored.
