Mr. Ballin

She'd gone out with plenty of men over the years, and she still got hit on pretty aggressively at bars, and she'd even been proposed to once.

But despite meeting lots of men and liking quite a few of them, she just had never gotten married.

These days, Diane met most of the men that she went on dates with online, like on a dating site.

And on these sites, men seem to always be messaging her to ask her out.

And so far, of the men she actually wound up seeing,

Only a few had been creeps.

And so over time, Diane had sort of cultivated this small roster of men that she kept in touch with and, you know, would meet up with for dates.

And so now Diane clicked on the profile for one of the men that was on her roster.

It was a man named Kyle Porter.

And she was just about to message him this very flirty message when she heard her doorbell downstairs ring.

And when she heard this, she was sort of surprised because she definitely was not expecting anybody.

But, you know, she still obviously got out of bed and got herself together and headed downstairs to see who it was.

And when she unlocked and opened the door, the person standing outside in the cold was somebody that she immediately recognized.

Now, she really had no idea what they were doing here right now, but she told them to, you know, come inside and then ask them, you know, what's going on.

And then this visitor started talking and they would say something that Diane never expected.

The following day, around noon, Diane's 91-year-old father, Stanley Zaleski, was at home watching TV when his phone rang.

He picked it up and he heard the voice of his daughter-in-law, Debbie.

And Debbie sounded really worried.

And she quickly explained to him that Diane had agreed to drive her to a doctor's appointment that morning, but she hadn't shown up.

And now, you know, she was reaching out to Diane, but she wasn't answering, and she also wasn't responding to texts.
