he said, “Yeah, I’ve got one shot, to just walk up there and say something. Otherwise, what am I going to do? Email her later and say, ‘I was sitting in Row G, Seat 5, did you notice me?’ ”
So he took a shot, and Anne thought it was very interesting because she had quit dating, and she remembered a friend had said to her years before, when she was still online dating, “Anne, you’re not going to meet someone online. You’re going to be like in the line at Starbucks. That’s how you’re going to meet someone. It’s going to be something completely random.”
And her friend was right. Anne wasn’t even going to go to this thing, and there he was.
The week after Anne got back from Dallas, they had their first date, a dinner at the Bedford Post Inn, and it was magical. It was definitely different than any of the dates she had had, and Anne remembers telling her girlfriends, “This one feels different.”
In retrospect, Anne is grateful that she had all the experiences of dating men who were not quite right so she could tell the difference.
Anne and Don were married a year and a half after their first meeting.
All because she said yes to something she would have said no to, and because he had the desire and the guts to risk embarrassment and rejection and go after what he wanted.
I will NEVER Marry Another Actor
Marsha, an actress previously married to an actor who, as she put it, was “the poster child for why you don’t want to marry an actor,” had made a deal with a friend that if he took the acting class she was leading, she would take the acting class he was leading.
The first day of class, Marsha was clear that the last thing she was looking to find was a date in a theater full of actors. She had been married to one egomaniacal actor, and was not about to make that mistake again!
The class was great, and Marsha did notice one actor she thought was the cutest guy in the room. But that observation was purely aesthetic, since she was not looking for a hookup.
She would later find out that John (the cute guy) had thought she was a cute little Jewish girl. She was, in fact, a cute little Spanish girl, but “two out of three ain’t bad.”
