Way back in 1996...
Monkey's Air Force gaming group was about to introduce a new player, but we hadn't met her yet.
Monkey goes out to dinner with some friends and another mutual friend shows up a bit later with a new gal.
Monkey and new gal soon start making puppy dog eyes at eachother.
Monkey thinks:
Wow, pretty girl.
Monkey finally notices new gal is looking at him the same way:
Pretty girl who likes me?
Monkey finds out that new gal is also the new player coming to the gaming group in a few days:
Pretty gamer girl that likes me? 

That was January 11 of 1996. We got married on February 22 of 1996. Four kids and much game later we are still happily married.
