Match.com, back in 2003 when it was uncommon enough to make us both be people who were willing to jump in and try something different. We got married in 2005.

Something that I liked about using a dating service was that it made me really sit down and think about what I wanted in a relationship. I was in grad school and cash was tight enough that I wasn't paying for the service without clearly defining what I wanted from it first. My future husband was the first guy from match.com that I went out with, although I did go out with a few others before we decided to date exclusively.

I can't ride long distances with my wedding band on my left hand. At some casual group rides, I've had a number of men come on to me. It's both flattering and funny, especially when I mention my husband and they want to know why he doesn't come riding with me. Although we're both active, healthy people, he's not into sports (except as a spectator) at all. Occasionally we ride together to get ice cream
