I finally -- FINALLY -- went on a date. It seems like it's been forever! Since August I've been concentrating more on learning to eat healthy and less on meeting someone online. So far so good though! I've lost about 10 pounds. (It's a good start, but it feels like a drop in the bucket sometimes.)
Anyway, a few years ago I signed up for a local matchmaking service. I enrolled for a year but I was really not impressed with them, and decided not to renew in the end. Despite not being a member anymore, every once in a while I get a call about a new match. That's how I ended up exchanging numbers with Ghani.
I really didn't know much about Ghani apart from what the matchmaker said of him. This is because when we tried to talk on the phone, there was a major communication gap. (His Venezuelan accent was too thick, and his cell reception less than ideal.) We had better luck with text messages though, and arranged to meet for a drink on Saturday.
