Andy sent me the following email forward on March 3, 2004. Some of it may be inappropriate for younger readers. I think the list works better if you assume that the guy and girl are married. The list is meant as a joke and I think it is pretty funny.

My First Haircut
This is a kind of funny string of emails about me planning to get my first hair cut after starting to date Andy and his emotional response. Andy likes me with long hair, as is sufficiently clear below: I wrote: Good morning, Andy! Well, I’m feeling pretty rested. But, I haven’t fully disclosed the reason …
Distraction
Here is a string of emails from February 16, 2004: Andy wrote: You’re distracting me again. I replied: No, Andy, I think it is the other way around. (I was just thinking about you!) Andy replied: There she goes. There she goes again. Racing through my brain. And I just can’t contain. This feeling that …
Valentine’s Day
I knew when I agreed to go out on a date with Andy at the end of January that it was a risky move. You see, I was already aware that Valentine’s Day just right around the corner and that it would be awkward with a new relationship. But, just before Valentine’s Day, I realized …
Call Me Crazy
Here is an excerpt of an email I wrote Andy on February 13, 2004: Hi Andy, Went to lunch with colleagues. I ate way more than I planned to, but it was so good. I kept talking about you at the lunch and I’m sure everyone thinks I’m crazy since I haven’t known you for …
Pre-Relationship Agreement
I got the email below from Andy on February 5, 2004. I thought the attached agreement was pretty funny. Jess, After talking about our thoughts and expectations, I remembered seeing this in an email. I thought I HAD to find it and send it to you. Some of it, because of our relationships to the …
Second Date
For our second date, we planned to meet in St. Cloud (where Andy lives) on Sunday to check out a church together. (Andy moved from the cities to St. Cloud just a few weeks before I met him, so he hadn’t found a church yet.) I had spent Saturday at my parents’ house in Grove …
First Date – Andy’s Version
Andy wrote the following on his blog about our first date: “So I mentioned a seven-years-without-a-date streak in a previous post. It did, in fact, come to an end last Saturday. I had a great time with Lager Lover’s friend (also his girlfriend’s sister). We bowled a few rounds and had dinner. It was the …
Our First Date
By the time our first date came, I had seen Andy once and had spoken to him for a few hours on the phone. In spite of that, I was really nervous. He picked me up at my house at maybe 3 p.m. We went bowling because I wanted to do an activity that could …
Andy Hadn’t Had a Date in 7 Years
Andy wrote the following message on his blog just before we started dating: “I had a depressing thought on my way back to work from lunch. I realized that the last time I had a real date with anyone was almost exactly seven years ago….Well, hopefully that streak is about to end. I won’t say …
