We met on my first day of high school - he was a senior and a football player. I was trying to get into his school (a specialty high school - he majored in machine shop, but there were many specialties available and it was hard to get in) - I scored well but there were too many ahead of me and I was going to have to go to my neighborhood high school which was pretty rough.

Anyway, he showed interest, he knew my next door neighbor - she went there too. A couple of days passed and my next door neighbor told me he was interested and I asked her to call him for me. She did and the next time I saw him was at a football game (against MY school) - we started dating (you know in those days it was splitting an order of fries and 2 cokes).

All the girls at his high school were mad because they couldn't date this football player. Then it occurred to DH that if I was a freshman - I was only 14:shock:, but he was hooked - he took quite a ribbing from those cheerleaders though.

When he graduated he took a job at a factory a couple of miles from my house. The high school I went to was having some problems and he changed his shift so he could take me to school and pick me up from school. Shortly after that my mom and I moved back into the suburbs.

One New Years Eve (I was 16) his car broke down right after he left his house to come see me - we lived a good 8 or so miles apart at that point - and it was snowing, I mean SNOWING. He walked all the way to my house to see me and then had to walk all the way home.

We married when I was 17; he was 20 and immediately left town (believe it or not the Holiday Inn in Erie, PA has a honeymoom suite!). Family interference was immense (our parents bet on us - whether we'd make it or not - his mother gave us a year and my mother gave us 5). We were married 32 years.

I met my husband and married him exactly five weeks later. We both just knew instantly. Even as I was marrying him I thought I must be having a nervous breakdown, because who does that? Turns out I was sane, thank gawd.....

We haven't had a single fight (weird huh?) and he is the only man I ever met that I truly respected. Great father, incredibly loyal, very very sweet. I am still kind of in awe that I got so lucky.

When you throw the word 'Can't" in there..it becomes a matter of possestion. Like in: you do NOTHING without me!..That scares me to death!
But those who just like to be in each other's company to do things are wonderful! Mike and I can sit reading in the same room and feel like we are doing somthing together.

Us too MK!

But, Brian's a weirdo..I'm perfectly absorbed in my Kindle, then I feel it..the two burning holes from across the room...I look up and there's the nutter giving me THE EYE.

"What?"

"Y'know, I like sitting here like this with you!"

"Oh. 'Kay. Me too. Thanks."

Go back to reading.

And, there it is again in less than 5 mins.

I don't really have a love story romance, more like really goods friends starting off. The sad thing is when I first met him, I thought oh my gosh what a geek! He was working in the building I was working in as an admim, I noticed that he was one of the few that didn't hang around and chat much. So every day when he walked through I would say hi how are you today. He finally just started saying hi before I did.
The only other lady in the building would get him to go out to eat with us, the guy he worked with and a few people from another office in the same company.
He actually started hanging around and talking every now and then, we became really good friends, found out we had allot in common.
He had custody of his son and we started doing things together with our kids and our kids friends of course. Always had about 6 or 7 kids with us, it was fun though.
The more we talked the better friends we became, so I guess you could say we were best friends before we started anything romantic. Course he was having to deal with his ex-wife allot at the time, she was an alcoholic and was doing drugs, he even had his 17 year old step-daughter living with him so she wouldn't be around here when she went off. She finally went to re-hab and straightened out for a little bit. Until she got sober we stayed friends, then we went out on an actual date no kids...alone time.
So we have been together for 10 years been married 8.
Now that he is not working he is driving me nuts! So if we make to 9 years he will need to thank his lucky stars he is not buried under the pecan tree!

Wow these are some great romances here...........My husband and I met when he was 16 and I was 18. I was an assistant manager at a fast food joint working my way through college. He came into the place looking for a job. I noticed what a good looking dude he was and I hired him...............I got in trouble from the manager because we weren't hiring. I told her "Just wait until you see him then you'll understand". He came in to do his new hire paper work and she said "OMG, you're right. Look at the legs on him". He was a baseball catcher so he had great legs and ..... We didn’t start dating for a while because he had a girlfriend and I was dating a college guy. When we finally went out, we went to the movies (2 movies to be exact). When I went to his high school graduation he was "big man on campus" since he was dating a college girl. He graduated in 83 and we married in 84. So not romantic more like robbing the cradle :) After 26 years of marriage we have 2 kids, a 21 yr old son and an almost 17 yr old daughter. We’ve worked hard to make so our kids would have good lives. My hubby has worked at the local tire plant for 23 years and it has taken a toll on him. Before he was 40 he had a total knee replacement, the ACL replaced in the other knee and shoulder reconstruction. Between the tire plant and sports he doesn’t get to do some of the things he loved doing, playing softball and water skiing. I use to tease him that I would push him around in the wheel chair if he would hold my O2 but now that I don’t smoke anymore I have to come up with a new plan :D

Teeth are a must. I live in the deep south, it's an issue more frequently than you want to know. A nice .... is just a bonus.


That's so funny because I friend of mine has been widowed about 3 years now and one of her requirements is also TEETH for a "man ho" as we fondly call anyone she MIGHT date.............she will never date I'm sure but we tease about it all the time ;)
