June 2021 I took a ferry over to the Sunshine coast to meet with my clients K & D. These two met almost 2 years ago via online dating, and after some texting conversations decided to meet. K drove all the way out to his place in Pender Harbour with coffees, never meeting him before. Texting her bff to let her know that she’s going to meet this “guy” and if she doesn’t hear from her by a certain time, she knew what to do. Now, K didn’t realize that D was going to offer to take her for a boat ride, and truthfully K was lost in the excitement of their meet up that she forgot to mention this to her bff. Who later went to check the her phone tracker and noticed that she was in the middle of the ocean….. Cue BFF text freak out! lol
