His department was washers and dryers, etc. so he walked me over and introduced me to the person running the answering machine area. He made kind of a fancy introduction. I bought the machine and then ended up asking to meet him for a sales call over lunch (I was in sales.) Our first meeting turned out to be on Valentine's Day. He bought my product, which was complicated. We finished the sales paperwork on St. Patrick's Day and he asked me out later that night. A few dates later, to show him my place, he was going to follow me. I was such a fast driver that he said he thought I was trying to lose him! We started dating exclusively. I tried to ask him a question about the answering machine one night. He said he didn't know how to work it! I was floored, after that fancy introduction! We were married after about 13 months and are going on 24 years!Cathy Shousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02825259524689437031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-9359307678924144552013-07-14T00:19:19.032+01:002013-07-14T00:19:19.032+01:00I was 30 & had been dating a guy I called &quo...I was 30 & had been dating a guy I called "the dirtbag". Sort of unreliable, but really cute. I went to a happy hour with work friends & was introduced to a guy I had seen & thought was cute, who also worked for the company. He was talking to someone else. The next day, he was at my gym! And we sat & talked on the bikes. And met for happy hour the next wk, and he asked me to dinner & kissed me. And that was it!So long dirt bag!22 years later!Sharlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04287663628706669934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-15190353926487616942013-07-13T23:58:17.352+01:002013-07-13T23:58:17.352+01:00Donna you don't look a day older today than yo...Donna you don't look a day older today than you do in that picture.<br /><br />I'm still waiting to meet "the one."

My roommate & I rode in his car there and back; he began to date my roommate while I dated his friend. <br />But in January I went to a movie with just him - and he sorta proposed then. We married in May, and just celebrated our 46th.

I started dating my now-husband on Labour Day (having known him as a friend of the family until that point). Imagine my surprise when in September I was dating ten different guys (including the old boyfriend)! I was in heaven, as I've never been beautiful, and was at the time 5'10", flat, and gangly. I just LOVED going on the various dates (and feeling popular), but by October, I realized that my now-husband would be annoyed if he knew I was dating nine others too. So I dumped all my other male dates (sniff, sniff). Little did I know, but my DH bought my engagement ring in October before proposing in front of my parents on Christmas morning (where my mom answered yes that I would marry him, and I answered instead that I would think about it, as I was only 21 at the time - and he was 31 - and not expecting anything so quickly). I wrote out a list (which I still have today) of why I want to be married, why I don't want to be married, why I want to marry HIM, and why I DON'T want to marry him. The list to marry was about a quarter of the length of the list NOT to marry; however, by the second day I realized it was the quality and not the quantity of the responses that mattered, and I said yes. We wed the following July when the plant shut down for two weeks where he worked, and we have been married 32 years now. It just keeps getting better....Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.com
