*This below true story hopefully will bring new faith and inspiration to you all while searching
“I went to one event of yours and I didn't met anyone I wanted to date”
My response –
You went to ONE event and you didn't meet anyone?
s
Ladies and Gentlemen- it rarely happens in ONE event, but it DOES happen one day !
And hopefully when that time arrives we have enough time to enjoy each other.
People ask me all the time...
What is your success rate?
As and event organizer...I often get no notification of when people make a connection
Once in a while I get a lovely email telling me all about the connection!
As a an event coordinator my
job is to create fun events, bring people together and let the universe
do the rest. Rarely am I kept in the loop, as to who connected with
who, unless the couple is kind enough to share their story.
*THE STORY.....
Steve
G. was a single gentleman that attended my events. He first started
coming to my events back in 2008 when I first got started. Steve was
patient in his search, and many times left the event knowing that maybe
he made a few new friends, but not a match made in heaven.
Well,
about a year ago- Steve G met Diane at one of my events. I thought Diane
had made a good connection with another gentleman whom we will call
“SAM” that evening, not necessarily Steve. Diane and Steve had “picked”
each other for a match however.
Well about 4 months later, I called Steve one night, and asked:
“
Hey Steve where you've been? Have any plans tonight? Would you like to join us?”
Steve's voice became sad and low, he said
“Gail, I just found out this week I have Leukemia.” I was stunned and said.
Oh Steve, I am so sorry to hear that. We discussed it a little more, and then I said goodbye and wished him the best in his recovery.
I went about my busy life and occasionally a thought came to mind – wondering how Steve was making out.
This
past weekend, I held a Speed-Dating event and received a last minute
call from Diane. She asked if she could join us, as she just needed to
get out for the night. I said OK, and then Diane went on to explain she
had been Dating STEVE G for the past year since they met at my
Speed-Dating event.
I said REALLY? (remembering how I thought the connection was with “SAM”)
Diane
went on to explain yes, Steve was not the first one she went out on a
date with from that night, but the second. Steve called her, and picked
her up and when he arrived, she noticed his charming cute half smile and
said to herself, “
Hey I think this date will be fun!”
3
months later, Steve suddenly surprised her with a fantastic weekend for
them. At the end of the weekend, Diane, not knowing said “
OK what's this talk about? You breaking up with me now that you and I have had this fantastic weekend together" ?
Steve said, “
Kinda; it might be best. I just found out I have Leukemia”
Diane said
“You're not getting rid of me!”
They
spent this past year together having a BLAST. Diane accompanied Steve
EVERYWHERE, they traveled saw old friends - Steve and Diane fell in
love.
Steve and Diane dated right up until Steve's battle with Leukemia ended May 2nd 2011
Steve had never been married, no children and had finally found someone special he so much enjoyed.
Steve did not attend
one of my events but
many of my events. And he did find someone, sadly and unbeknownst to him, the last year of his life.
Maybe
Steve had become more open about the small stuff when choosing mates.
When you know your time is limited, everything seems to really take a
back seat.
Or maybe it really did take this much time to meet someone special.
Who knows.
It sure makes me think, how much time is wasted and how petty we can all be when it comes to dating.
And gives new meaning to the saying "
Carpe' Diem"
Latin for :
Seize the day or
Live Life to the Fullest
