In my previous post I was asked to elaborate on why I was so freaked out by my husband when we first met. So here goes...
I was in my first of two years of college. I was dating my first boyfriend, Bill, who was good friends with Doug. I used AOL instant messenger a lot at college to communicate with my friends. I still to this day don't know for sure how, but somehow, Doug's screen name ended up on my buddies list. My roommate and Bill were both friends with Doug so I have no clue. One day, in between classes, I sat down at my computer and my "Buddy List" was up. I scrolled through it and came across the screen name "Smurfberry32". I can be forgetful sometimes, but I could not recall that name, or how I could have gotten it. So I clicked on the name and sent a message. It was dumb, but I was curious. I simply asked who this was. He responded by asking who I was because I had wrote him. I told him who I was and he told me his name was Doug Benedict. That was the end of our conversation. It was time for lunch and my roommate and I headed down to the cafeteria for lunch. We finished eating and went to take care of our trays when I was approached by a guy. He walked right up and said, "Hi Sarah, I'm Doug." I was a little freaked out. How did he pick me out of a whole bunch of people and know that I was Sarah??? I figured he was some kind of a stalker or something. Later I found out that Bill had pointed me out to him so he knew who I was that way. It is fun to think back on it and laugh! So there is our story!!!

Haha, that's cute. Such a memorable first meeting.
hehe that is funny and I think I'd be a bit freaked out too! The first things my husband ever said to me (On a messenger service like AOL) was "Do you like to travel?" Funny how things happen!
