How we Met

Juan and I met in a uniquely New York way, the subway.  I was having a truly bad day.  Everything that could go wrong was going wrong.  I was trying to get home and not paying attention and I went down the wrong set of stairs.  I think I used some profanity when I realized my mistake and there was this man who saw me and said, "are you trying to go downtown too?", we had both made the same mistake.  We started chatting as we crossed the street to get to the correct side and continued the conversation as we boarded a packed subway car.  I think Juan was scared of being rejected in front of a ton of people so he didn't ask for my number.  Luckily, I wasn't as afraid of rejection.  We were approaching my stop and I reached in my pocket and handed him my card and told him it was very nice talking to him.  He waited 20 days to use my number but when he did we went on a date and the rest is history!
