Introduction

Jack and Diane met on Valentine’s Day, 2012 when they went on a blind date. They hit it off right away. Some people said it was love at first sight. That night, they spent several hours chatting, laughing and making eyes at each other. They dated several times after that, and even went on a double date with Jack’s friends Brad and Angelina.

Diane was crazy about Jack, and soon he was head over heels for her. In April, Diane told me that Jack stole her heart, and Jack also realized that she was the one.

Jack popped the question to Diane one warm April afternoon in Central Park. She said yes, so they got engaged. In May, they got hitched in Las Vegas. Their close friends, Brad and Angelina, were with them when they tied the knot.  Everyone knew that they were made for each other.

Dialog – talking about Jen’s love life

• Jen: I went on a horrible blind date last night.
• Jack: How bad was it?
• Jen: Really bad. It was definitely not love at first sight. In fact, the guy is still head over heels for his last girlfriend, and he could not stop talking about her. It was so annoying.
• Jack: So I guess he’s not the one for you?
• Jen: Nope. Hey, do you have any friends I might hit if off with?
