Blind date next door

Romance magazine talked to Dan who tells us
about how he found the love of his life.
1 ___
Dan Actually, we met at three very different times
in our lives. We were both born in Bath and
we actually grew up in the same street.
Jess’s parents ran an art gallery across the
road from our house. We knew each other as
children but not well. Six years is a big age
difference when you’re a kid.
2 ___
Dan After school I started university in Oxford. My
best friend
there was Paul. We’re still very close: he’s
like a brother to me. One day I went round to
see him for coffee. He introduced me to his
cousin who was visiting. She was so
attractive she took my breath away.
3 ___
Dan She was very chatty and funny. As the
evening progressed, I liked her more and
more. To be honest, I was quite disappointed
when I found out she was just 16 – I thought
she was too young for me. I was just starting
my Master’s degree in English, so I was 22
then.
4 ___
Dan No, I didn’t – not then. One summer Paul and
I visited my old home town. We were staying
with my parents. Over dinner, Paul
mentioned something about the art gallery
his uncle owned across the road. That’s
when I realized who Jess was.
5 ___
Dan No, we didn’t. We met years later. I went on a
chatroom website, and I started exchanging
messages with a very nice, 21-year-old girl.
We sent each other links to songs and
videos on the net that we both liked, we
talked about the best places in Bath to go out
to eat, that sort of thing. It took me some
time to get the courage to ask her out on a
date.
6 ___
Dan We agreed to meet outside the Assembly
Rooms, and go from there to an Indian
restaurant close by. But as I was leaving
home, I ran into Jess in the street. We talked
a bit, then she said she was in a hurry
because she had a blind date with someone.
Of course, that someone was me.
7 ___
Dan Yes and no. It was the beginning of my
happiest relationship. But it wasn’t really
a blind date – I have known her all my
life!
