This happened Thursday night - I had a very happy and enthusiastic couple in their 50's (my guess) on the dance floor who kept requesting romantic classics. On break I went to greet the couple and since most everyone I meet on Hilton Head is visiting I naturally asked where they were from. They stopped for a second and then bashfully admitted that he was from Michigan and she was from Florida, and this was their first date - they met over the Internet and decided on a 5-day tryst in Hilton Head. The date seemed to be going especially well but being able to dance to old romantic songs was more than they had bargained on and they were in heaven. To top it off, it's been raining steadily and it's supposed to continue through the weekend and into next week - perfect for hotel room snuggling. I expect to see them back tonight (Saturday) before they fly back to their respective homes on Sunday.
It was just the first time I've met someone at my gig who were Internet dating...
