Ricky and I met 1 year ago - on Valentine’s Day.
We connected on a dating website, and my first thought was – why is he interested in me?? He’s a tall, country music lovin’, snowboarding, four-wheel-drive-truck type of guy. I’m short, like hip hop, drive a gas-friendly car, and detest cold weather and snow! [...]
