We met on PlentyofFish.com! (Keith messaged me first!) We didn't waste much time before meeting.. maybe a week or 2.. because we both had an attitude of let's just get this over with and move on to the next, lol. I learned from past online dating experiences that you can talk on the phone to someone for hours but once you meet in person you'll know right away if you even want a 2nd date! So, no need to waste any of his or my time! lol My "go-to" was getting pizza! It was quick, cheap & good! Keith and I decided to meet on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. We went to A&G Pizza in Layton, NJ (now known as The Layton Hotel Tavern) on May 24, 2013. It was half way between our houses. I had to google what a Subaru Forester looked like so I could anxiously watch for him! He opened the door for me and as he likes to say, "He batted his eyelashes at me!" After we finished eating he asked if I wanted to meet his dog. With Keith's "massive stature," I expected a big dog and was shocked to meet Mya (aka: Chicken) - his 8 pound Shih-tzu! We had great conversation.. STILL DO! I was pleasantly surprised and definitely wanted a 2nd date!
