Aw! That is so adorable. If you don’t mind sharing, how did the cute and flirtatious banter turn into you guys eventually dating and getting married? Were you also attracted to your wife when you met her?

I ended up getting dragged to a Saint Patrick’s day party one of the doctors from the hospital was throwing, and it was basically everyone who worked in the ER hanging out at this house. I always thought my wife was very cute but honestly I had just purchased my first (very modest) home and was really stressed out trying to ensure I made my mortgage payments so I was clocking like 96 hour work weeks between the ER we worked at and my main job which was at the city fire department. So I wasn’t exactly in the right frame of mind at work to be picking up on social cues. 

Anyway I was exhausted but I had the next day off and a friend from work basically made me go to that Saint Patrick’s day party. I saw my (future) wife there and she was in some tighter clothing and I was obviously in a much less stressed state of mind. The way she tells it she got “payback” that night because I kept initiating conversations with her and flirting and she was playing hard to get. I also kept saying I should probably head home and she’d say “ok bye” but I’d stay to talk to her more. At one point she finally said she was leaving, I asked if it was ok if I walked her to her car and she said yes. On the way i asked if she was dating anyone and she said no, and then I asked if she’d like to have dinner with me, she said yes and gave me her number. I took her to dinner a few days later and the rest is basically history. We’ve been together for 7 years now, got married and have a 10 month old son.
