The Later Daters: Greg and Kelly's first impressions
Greg and Kelly’s first meeting unfolded in a relaxed bar setting, where the pair exchanged warm pleasantries. From the beginning, Kelly introduced herself with a smile. Greg, impressed by her outfit and demeanor, commented, “Heck, yeah. You look nice,” to which Kelly replied with a “Thank you. So do you.”
Their initial conversation covered basic information such as family and marital history. Kelly, divorced and single for 11 years, shared that she has four children and three grandchildren, with a fourth on the way.
Greg revealed he has two sons from his first marriage and has been single for 12 years. Their brief exchange about past marriages provided insight into their respective journeys. Greg noted he had been married twice, while Kelly shared her 26-year-long union.
The date took an adventurous turn when the two headed out for a water skiing session. Kelly, who grew up in a family of competitive skiers, demonstrated her skill on the water, impressing Greg.
Though it had been nearly three decades since Greg last skied, he gamely gave it a try. His initial struggles prompted Kelly to suggest using a boom for better coordination, a move that Greg agreed to with a mix of apprehension and determination.
Back on the boat, the pair toasted to their shared experience with sparkling drinks. Kelly teased Greg about his bartending skills, laughing:
“You were not a bartender in your last life, right?”
Their laughter and camaraderie hinted at a growing connection, even as Greg remained cautious. In a confessional, he admitted:
“First impression, she was a very pretty lady. She smiled a lot, which creates a really warm, friendly energy.”
Despite their lively interactions and shared laughs, Greg remained noncommittal about a second date. However, Kelly appeared optimistic, expressing that Greg’s effort and family-oriented nature made him a potential match.
