Who is this Guy? (The Girl's Perspective)

Daniel...I had heard the name from Jenny's mouth so often I felt I knew the guy. Jenny is Daniel's mum. The company I worked for worked closely with the company she works for. After a couple of months we became good friends, calling each other "love" and "sweetie" and putting the little hugs and kisses (xo) at the ends of our emails. This went on for over 12 months.

Jenny would update me on her family and how things were going. Dan was engaged, Michael was looking for work, and Amy was miserable at work.
It was in January that Jenny told me that Dan was having relationship issues and it wasn't looking good. Of course I listened intently as Jenny told me Dan was a "church person" like myself.

Then it happened. Jenny told me Dan's wedding was off. She went into a little detail. She said Dan was in pieces; a shattered, broken man. There was no sparkle in his eye and no joy in his heart anymore.
A few days pass and I find myself visiting Jenny at her office once again. She tells me Dan is regaining himself, setting new goals and growing from his ordeal. She is a proud mother. A good mother. She told me she asked Dan if he knew me as I was a "church person" like him. She showed him my picture on Facebook. He did not recognise me, but he added me sometime later that week.

On Facebook, minding my own business. A little chat message pops up, "So...mum tells me you're quite the singer..." The name "Daniel" was on top of the message.
Assuming it was another mate I was going to reply, "What the heck are you on about?!" but noticed, "hang on this is a different Daniel...Jenny's boy!"
We chat...for hours. He was encouraging me, and I was trying to encourage him.
Yes, i gave him my number if he ever wanted to chat. He was a nice guy!

So it's the night after our first cyber chat. I'm on my way to Brisbane for a wedding. I get a really lovely text message--from DANIEL!! Yes we text pretty much all day. Just random stuff you know?! This guy is super nice!

Anyway, tomorrow is the best part. That's a different post though!
