Our story is an odessy of near misses. We were in the same class for 8th grade at Crosby together and had mutual friends, but we were never officially introduced. Growing up we occasionally went to the same church, but again, never made actual contact. There are numerous years of seeing each other at various events and never *actually* meeting. Finally, after 15 years of seeing one another from afar, mutual friends arranged our introduction. We went bowling on a group date- went on two more dates that week, and never separated since! We had a lot of near misses but, it was truly love at first "meet".
