Shannon

We meet with the assistance of an online dating sevice in August 2010. We quickly hit it off and were soon talking on the phone. After Ben canceled last minute on our first two dates that we set up (due to work) I was getting pretty frusterated and didn't know if it was worth it to try again. I decided to give him one more shot. This time we picked a day that we both had off which was Labor Day. We went to the Bent Fork in Loveland and after arriving 30min late (because I forgot my cell phone and was scared to meet a strange guy from online without at least that security) we had a wonderful lunch. Then Ben asked if I would go to a candle store with him so he could get a candle for his house. Lol. We walked around Centerra for a couple of hours and had a lot of fun. Our second date was at the Hu Hut in Ft Collins and we again walked around old town this time awkwardly trying to avoid holding hands not sure if the other wanted to or not. Our third date was Sept 17th and we went to Lily Lake in Estes Park and hiked around the ridge of the lake. We sat on a bench for a while that was tilted so much it forced me to sit really close to Ben. Then we walk and finally held hands in the town of Estes Park and shared our first kiss during this date. This was the begining of our wonderful relationship.
