It was a normal Sunday night at the skating rink and I was busy getting my “skate on”. I have been going to this rink since 1985 and have made a lot of good friends over the years. I did, however, have a strict policy of not dating anyone from the rink. (Seeing a former girlfriend at the place where I come to relax is not something that I want to experience).

One night, one of my female frineds approaches me and asks me to skate with one of her girlfriends. She introduced me to a rather ordinary, cute woman who was new to the rink. We skated. We went our seperate ways. A couple of weeks later my female friend asked about her girlfriend and weather I had skated with her after the first night. I replied, NO and decided to go and ask this girl to skate again. We started skating off and on for the next few weeks and after about a month, LaTara, was her name, approached me and gave me her business card with her number on it. She tolds me that I had asked for her number before but didn’t have a ink pin. (Since I have a strict policy of not dating where I skate), I really doubted that I had asked her but I took the card anyway. There was a small posibility that I might have asked during idle conversation.

Now, because I would not date a fellow skater I had not REALLY checked LaTara out up to this time. For the rest of that night I decided to find out a little bit more about this woman who was obviously interested in me. As for her looks, I found her to be attractive, even in her “plain” rollerskating outfit and hairdo.

I called a couple of days later and she invited me over for dinner at her “condo”. We were going to go to the movies afterwards. When I arrived at her place, great aromas were coming from inside of the condo. LaTara told me, as I walked inside, that she had prepared me a very nice, home cooked meal with fried catfish, mac & cheese and greens. I was in heaven. Once inside of her place, I noticed several pictures of her hanging on her walls and my jaw just dropped down to the floor. At the rink, LaTara basically tied her hair back into a ponytail and she wore “comfortable” clothing which really didn’t show off her great figure. The photos on the wall were professionally done and she basically looked like she was the twin of Tyra Banks. Wow….I thought. This woman really cleans up nicely…and she can cook too. Dinner was great and afterwards we went to see The Italian Job, (A guy movie).

I WAS PRETTY MUCH HOOKED AFTER THAT! We dated for a few months and then we got engaged. One year after we were engaged, we were married and have been happily married for almost 5 years now. She IS my world…….
