I had lost weight, started a new job, cut my waist-length hair into a short, curly bob, and was about to release my first solo single \u2013 a song I had written for my late husband.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">A few nights earlier, after having been stood up by an emotionally unavailable guy who I had been heavily pursuing (yuck!), my friend and I went out dancing. I had a blast that night, dancing reggae, flirting, and feeling, not like \u201ca widow,\u201d but like <em>a woman<\/em> \u2013 something I hadn\u2019t felt in a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">A really cute guy I\u2019d noticed when I walked into the club came up and started talking to me just as I was getting ready to leave. I almost blew him off because I thought he was too young for me, but my friend <em>commanded<\/em> me to walk back over and talk to him because she hadn\u2019t seen me smiling that way in over a year (so glad she did!).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">We danced, he asked me for my number and called me the next day, when he got off of work. We spoke on the phone for 7 hours that night and he asked me out for the following night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">I can honestly say that I didn\u2019t have any expectations for that evening. I was just excited to be going out on a date, having fun, laughing and feeling <em>alive<\/em> again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">I believe whole-heartedly that it was this lack of expectation and just being open to having fun that led to me having one of the most romantic and unforgettable evenings of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">A few hours into the date, he asked me if he could kiss me. Why did he ask? Because I\u2019d given him the run-down the night before of all of my \u201crules\u201d: no kissing on the first date, no sex before marriage, what religion he\u2019d have to be, etc. \u2013 something I now know could have <em>completely<\/em> ruined my chances of ever getting to know him, simply because I was so afraid of getting hurt. Honestly, it\u2019s a <em>miracle<\/em> he even asked me out on a first date!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">I don\u2019t know why, but when he asked if he could kiss me, I said, \u201cYes,\u201d and I\u2019m so glad I did, because that kiss <em>literally<\/em> took my breath away (I actually had to sit down!), and, 15 years later, I\u2019m still waiting to exhale! (Yes, I <em>still <\/em>get butterflies when he kisses me today!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/HDSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/spot-of-our-first-kiss_cropped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-3341\" src=\"http:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/HDSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/spot-of-our-first-kiss_cropped.jpg\" alt=\"spot of our first kiss_cropped\" width=\"296\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080; font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\"><em>The spot where we shared our first kiss!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times;\">15 years of loving and being loved by the same person is a pretty big deal!
