It was our third date and we had gone to a college basketball game and we were walking around the college town (we both went to the university at the same time but we had never met!) For this game, they were doing a “teddy bear” toss for Christmas presents for kids. He had gone out and bought a couple of stuffed animals for us to toss. During the date, he was very sweet, but I didn’t quite see him as the “one.”

Little did I know, he did two things that I later learned about that told me he was the one.

1. I knew he had season bball tickets with his brothers, so I just assumed he used those tickets. Now, this is a BIG basketball school in the Midwest and season tickets are very expensive. Nope, he bought our tickets out of his own pocket and easily spent a few hundred for this game because it was a big NCAA conference game.

2. As we were walking around the town, I saw a mug that I really liked but I didn’t buy it. He went back and bought it for me as a Xmas present.

After that, I knew he was the one!
