In an interview in 2004, Norm was asked about his best memory of Valentine's Day. He did not reveal details on his girlfriend but gave a clue that he once dated someone. He transformed his feelings into words saying,
"It was with my ex-girlfriend. I snuck into her apartment. I bought a lot of roses and took all the petals off. Then I laid themon the floor from the front door to her bathroom, where I had a bath waiting for her with candles and wine.
Besides, he has not declared any plans of getting married which clear that either he has not encountered with his soulmate or he prefers not to share his personal stuff.
