How We Met

March 10, 2001

David Says:
I was at yet another Purim party at Anshe Emet Synagogue, @ Halsted/Broadway/Grace.  I had been to several in the past, with mixed results.  As I was trolling/perusing the area, my eyes landed on this exotic creature wearing a red sweater.  After a few minutes of mental preparation (necessary due to her intimidating beauty) I approached her.  My standard line, "Would you like to dance?" did not come out. I managed a simple 'hi.'  But when she smiled, I felt at ease, and we began to converse.  I noticed her accent right away.  Due to the event, I was thinking that it must be Middle Eastern.  When she said she was from Venezuela, my eyes lit up (yet I tried to keep that mostly inside, to turn down the psycho factor).  Of course I steered away from this topic, as I did not want to appear too eager by blabbing about my hobby of Spanish or dating Latinas.  So I asked about her job.  Ooops, another subtle widening of the eyes when she mentioned she was a pediatrician.  Not only a doctor, but someone else who works with kids as I do!

We spent most of the evening chatting.  Eventually I let slip a few words en espaņol, I think she was impressed. We shared some appetizers, danced, etc.  Her friend Nevit was also there.  I was there alone, volunteering, but kept referring to my 'friends' (well I did know some people there).  I scored her digits on a red piece of advertising for a future event, and called her two days later.  My life would never be the same.

I went to the Purim party to have fun and to dance.  I was talking to a friend, when a guy, David, asked me to dance with him, so we did, and then we talked.  Then he disappeared for a while because he said he had to see his friends (later on he told me he came alone).  While he was gone I danced with other people, and then he showed up.  He returned while I was talking with another guy, that is when David asked me for my number.  I gave it to him, but the other guy was still there, and he wrote my number down too, and David made a mad face.  The following week he call me every night and we often talked untill 1 am, that is how he conquered me.
