Case Studies and Example
Pumping Gas
Norman, a purchasing agent for the hospital, met her husband, Ted, at the gas pump. She had trouble unscrewing the gas cap and asked the man at the next stall for help. He assisted in removing the cap for her; then invited her to lunch. She agreed to meet him a few hours later. During the meal, they discovered they had mutual friends and much in common. Such coincidence amazed them both and they dated from that moment on until their wedding day.
Talking out the trash
Valerie, an attractive esthetician, met her husband while hauling her trash cans out to the roadside curb. Milton, a tall, blonde, computer software salesman, lived two doors down and was outdoors when he spotted Valerie doing her chorse. He thought she was cute, walked over to her, and invited her to a neighborhood barbecue at his house - an undertaking he hadn't done before or since.
Valerie didn't think Milton was her type, but she kept going out with him because there was no reason to break it off. Much to her surprise, after three months, she found he was one of the most attentive, good-hearted men she'd ever met. Appreciating these qualities in him, her admiration and respect for him grew, until she understood he was the one she truly loved and, in the end, married.
In the apartment complex
Jennifer, a nurse and diabetes educator, met her husband in her apartment complex. Jeff noticed her as she moved in and asked if he could help with the heavy boxes. She was happy to have the extra assistance. For the next few weeks he stopped to chat. Shortly after, he offered to take her to a new local restaurant, and she agreed to go. She thought him charming, and appreciated his determination in pursuing her. Last year they were married. This year they had a bouncing baby boy.
