I was living with my friend and her husband at the time. Her husband brought his boss over to the house to look at a truck or something, I can’t remember. According to him, he fell hard and fast. I was skittish after having been through an abusive marriage and protracted divorce and took things very slowly. He was patient and so very kind and here we are, five years later, married and fixing up a house with a couple crazy dogs.

So, I didn’t “do” anything, so to speak, we just showed up in each other’s lives one day and happened to have shared values, interests, and attraction to each other. I know that’s not a satisfying answer. A lot of couples I know met through mutual friends, for what it’s worth.
