In March, 1999, I called in to check my voice message through a telephone match-making service. I received a very spooky sounding message from this guy, in which I quickly deleted. A day or so later, the same guy left another message, his voice, sounded a little better, but still "spooky."

I returned his voice mail this time. He had tried again, so maybe there might be something there, and I shouldn't simply judge his voice over a crappy voice mail system.

We connected instantly over the telephone. His voice talking to me directly sounded completely different, and we chatted on the telephone for two solid weeks. We both lived in different cities at the time, about 40 minutes apart.

One night, I suggested that we should meet up that night at a local coffee shop in my city. He didn't hesitate to drive 40 minutes to my city.

When he left me that night, I saw a tinkle in his eye that told me that he was the one for me. His eyes told me he never wanted to leave me. He captured my heart that night.
