"One in five relationships now begin online" - which means Clayton and Monica fit the 20% of the population currently in a relationship. Monica had just moved to New Mexico to be closer to her sister and was living in a small town near the Arizona border (approx 2 hours from Albuquerque). Clayton finally decided he needed a lady closer to his height and limited his match.com search to women over 6'0". In New Mexico, this doesn't give you many options, so Clayton expanded his search to women within a 200 mile radius. He found Monica's profile and sent a message that said something along the lines of . . . "How does a girl that went to Duke end up in Gallup, NM?". We met for coffee 2 days later and the rest has fallen into place. For anyone that doesn't know the story of the first coffee date, just ask Monica, she will be sure to tell you all the great details about how Clayton sent her to Walgreens :). |
