The two hit it off on a dating site, but after their initial contact, there was a lull in the conversation and they didn’t speak again until two weeks later.

"I liked him," she recalled. "He asked me out on a date and he explained that he was working because he has a painting business, and he just got caught up and got busy," she recalled.
