Dating disaster 5

Hi Sean,

I have a dating disaster that actually turned out for the best!

I was "hooked up" on a date by some friends of mine who swore up and down that the guy they were hooking me up with was my perfect match. We talked on the phone twice and eventually set up a coffee date.

When we met, he seemed like a presentable guy. He was handsome and had a great smile. When we talked however, it was a different story.

He came off as egotistical, closed minded, demanding, sexist, and rude. I was getting angry but tried to see where the date would go. I stuck it out.

I was getting hungry and ordered a pecan roll. He asked to try a bite and I let him, but shortly after he bit into it, he started choking and sputtering. Turns out Mr. Perfect had a peanut allergy and had a reaction to the roll. He used his epi-pen and an ambulance came to take him to the hospital, so he could be checked out. I waved goodbye and let him go. I'd driven myself, so I was happy I wasn't stuck with him for a few more hours.

So you may be asking where does the story have a happy ending? There was a man in that coffee shop that had noticed me on my date, and after "Mr Perfect" left, he struck up a conversation. We hit it off and started dating. We married a year later and are still together.
