Today G and I met our daughter K and her boyfriend, also K (so let's call him KC) for lunch. This was the first time we had ever met KC although he and K have been friends for 6 months and dating for about a month.
I have to admit that I was more than a little bit nervous. Since K moved to Chicago for college 5 1/2 years ago, we have only met one of the guys that she's dated (unlike high school when we met and knew all of her dates). It's not to say that during undergrad and grad school K dated hundreds of guys, but there have been several she went out with or was interested in on more than just a friend basis that she never asked us to meet.
This time around, KC asked to meet us. Yikes! I'm trying to not read too much into that turnabout. K has met his parents and spent time with them on a few occasions, so he probably figured that it was only fair for him to meet her parents. That makes sense.
We had a nice lunch and enjoyed some low-key conversation. It was a fun afternoon.
On the way home, unprompted, G said that he thought KC was nice, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. Coming from G that is a ringing endorsement.
So we'll see. Was it just lunch or was it more?
