How did you meet? Match.com - it’s surprisingly difficult to meet worthwhile people in NYC.
Are they older or younger than you? 7 years older.
What do they do for work? Director of Communications at a theatre company
What is one weird habit or quirk they have? My favorite quirk is that he quickly taps his pocket once to make sure he has his wallet. But he’ll do it at random times. Like we went to dinner and a play on Saturday night, and halfway through the 40 minute drive home, he did the pocket tap. I laughed and was like “your wallet would likely be long gone by now!” It’s amusing.

Online. However my best friend from college was a classmate/friend of his in high school. Another best friend of mine from college was best friends with his sister. His uncle and my dad are friends, went to school with one of his cousins.
Are they older or younger than you?
Younger by 22 months
What do they do for work?
Cement truck driver
What is one weird habit or quirk they have?
He cannot sit still or stand being in the house for long periods of time. He has to be outside doing something. If he can’t be outside or in the garage he is at the fire station, he volunteers with, doing something. Needless to say my son is now obsessed with going to the fire station and playing in/on the trucks.
How did you meet? He knew my younger sister, they were friends and worked together part time. My sister became his roommate for a little while right before we started dating when she moved back to the area from grad school.
Are they older or younger than you? He is 2 years younger than me.
What do they do for work? Hes an Art Director, basically a step up from graphic designer, he does web design too and also makes shirts and hats.
What is one weird habit or quirk they have? lots and most annoy the crap out of me, even more so when I am pregnant. Lol!
Mother to Joelle (13), Jaxen (3) and Jayla (due 5/6)
How did you meet? We met on a dating app. But it turned out that we had a ton of connections. He grew up with my SIL (brother's wife), my mom taught his stepmom when she went back to college, I graduated with his oldest stepbrother, my mom and his grandma worked together, his dad grew up watching my dad play high school football, his grandpa and my dad did a ton of business together (both in real estate)
Are they older or younger than you? 9 years younger, which is probably why we never crossed paths when we were younger. By the time he was out having a social life I was away at college.
What do they do for work? He works in pre-cast concrete. It's a family business and he's been there forever so on any given day he might be doing any part of the process because he knows almost everything except sales. Officially, he runs their equipment maintenance department. But really every day is different. They specialize in architectural pre-cast (making buildings look fancy even though they are made of concrete).
What is one weird habit or quirk they have? when he's thinking hard he makes this clicking noise with his tongue, he had no idea he's doing it
Are they older or younger than you? 2 years older.
What do they do for work? Scientist.
What is one weird habit or quirk they have? God love him, but he's a total dork about one thing in particular: trains. I kid you not, we have a running outdoor garden train. DS loves it, which is great for him, but it's soooo nerdy, lol. DH orders various train cars online. It's his hobby and he tells me it is better than other "midlife crisis hobbies," which I think is mostly true, lol.
