The Blind Date

You know you get this feeling like you wanted more than whatever it was you had?

Well that was what I felt after twelve years of marriage to Doris. I felt a kind of a way that a forty-six year old man shouldn't, I felt old. The spark that used to be there wasn't there any longer.

I needed something new, something fresh. I missed the feeling that came with me anticipating seeing that special someone. 

Don't get me wrong, Doris was still a beautiful lady but the excitement wasn't there no more. I knew if things continued this way, then our marriage will definitely hit the rocks. So if you looked at it my way, I was trying to save my marriage. I wasn't the type to cheat but then desperation they say could lead you into some really bad stuff and I was desperate.

I didn't want Doris to suspect a thing, so I decided to go new-school, the technology kinda way. Luckily for me, they were dating sites That could easily give me what I wanted, tinder was just a click away.

So I got to work, started browsing through the site trying to find something new. Two weeks into my latest adventure, I discovered this profile. She didn't put up her profile picture just like I didn't and that intrigued me. We started chatting. I made up some excuse of not wanting to speak to her on the phone until our first date and she had agreed. I was being real careful in keeping this a secret from Doris.

We kept on chatting for about a month, she was like the perfect match. She loved what I loved, and not to talk of her good sense of humor. She knew just what to say at the right time. She was perfect.

We both finally made plans to go on a date that weekend. She had picked the place and it was perfect before it was far from my home. There was no way Doris or anyone who knew us would see us there.

I remember getting very excited as each day drew closer to our date. And when it finally was weekend, I told Doris I was going to see a friend, took my bath, put on some nice cloths and left for my date. I had gotten there twenty minutes earlier, a perfect gentleman has to be there before his date.

Thirty minutes later, my date walked in. I was shocked  and speechless, not because of how beautiful she looked (though she was very very beautiful) but because my blind date was no other person than Doris, my wife.

The drive home was the longest I had ever taken in my life. We both didn't say nothing to each other. But later that night, we both sat down on our bed and talked. Turned out she too was got bored and decided to get her own piece of excitement elsewhere. We both asked for each other's forgiveness and went to bed.

That day, we realized that the happiness we sorted for was right there with us. The one month we spent chatting taught us that. After that day, we both vowed to make our marriage work, to make us work.
