It is so strange that Richard and I never met growing up. We went to different schools but had many of the same friends. We even figured out that we worked at the same Wendy’s together for a very short time (I think we both only worked there a few weeks).

My friends Linda and Julie had a double date with these two guys cooking dinner for them. They insisted that I come with them. I did not want to go and basically complained the whole time I was there (not my best moment 😂). In the middle of dinner Richard and a friend dropped by. Now here’s the funny part and if you know Richard you will appreciate the humor. Because I was complaining, he made a X sign with his finger and pointed it at me while making a hissing sound. So basically he hexed me 🤣. I laughed out loud.

I guess he liked my salty personality because from that point on, he decided that I was going to be his girlfriend. I came around after awhile.

I’m so glad my friends insisted I come that night. I’m so thankful Richard was so persistent in pursuing me. I can’t imagine what my life would be like if this funny and cute guy had not come into my life.
