Russian lovers

I came out of a passionless marriage that lasted 7 1/2 years and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area for my job from Las Vegas. I subscribed to Yahoo! Personals on July 4, 2007 and used the online dating service for three weeks. I found three potential matches. Jason was my third.
What convinced me to email Jason were the two paragraphs he wrote about himself.
“It wasn’t really the content of his online profile, it was his dry sense of humor and intelligence that came through.”
It wasn’t really the content of his online profile, it was his dry sense of humor and intelligence that came through. That’s what got me hooked. We exchanged several emails before we talked on the phone. The more I chatted with him, the more I realized he had everything I wanted. He was educated, passionate, and we shared common values.
Coincidences
Jason moved to San Francisco from LA for his job around the same time as me. What really caught my attention was when I found out that we came from the same hometown, San Diego. We’re only a year apart in age and our parents live about 15 miles apart in San Diego, but our paths never crossed.
The First Date
We walked from the front of his apartment to a hotel on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. We took an elevator up to a bar offering a panoramic view of the Bay. We had a couple drinks and started to get to know each other better. Then, we went to eat the most amazing calamari at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. After dinner, we took a taxi to a club where we met up with his roommate/best friend. Then, we hopped back in a taxi to his place. He showed me his apartment in the Embarcadero, which also has an amazing view of the Bay. We ended up talking until 5 a.m
