How did you "Meat" your mate.
Here is my story.
SAPPY ALERT!! When I was finishing my schooling in Graphic Arts, I was at the campus from 7 am to 9:45 pm every day during the week. I was lonely and wanted someone to love and to love me back. During the day, I worked as a janitor and in the evening I went to class. One day I prayed that the Lord would bring me someone to love. Later that day when I was on break I was sitting at the lunch table and looked up and saw the prettiest woman in the world. I told my boss that I was going to marry that girl. One year later I did, and the rest is history. We have been married 29.5 years. A few members here have met my wife in person and will agree that I am the luckiest man in the world. How did you guys meet your mate?

I know I'm not married but I've been with my gf for 5.5 years so I will argue my qualification here. I was 18....I was at a party at the nastiest dirtiest party house you could imagine, drunk out of my mind (think frat party, but I wasn't in a frat, I was in band), one of the new girls (hideous, pukeworthy, despicable on multiple levels, etc) brought a friend. I saw her and thought "da-da-da-da-dayyyum" she was wearing a t shirt with one of my favorite metal bands on it. I said hi and stupid small talk but couldn't find her the rest of the night. Next week I was hanging out with some of my buds and they were like "yeah XXXXXX's friend was asking about you and looking for you the rest of the night". These are the types of guys who will completely BS you for the sake of comedic value so I thought they were up to their usual antics. On a whim I decided to investigate and ended up finding her on facebook (yeah yeah I know, there's some guy who executed a laptop because of his daughter) and we exchanged messages. I got her number and called, and had a good conversation! Except she had a boyfriend (who she did not like much) We arranged a date and she promptly broke up with her DB boyfriend of a month. Good riddance.
first date: disaster. She was sick, we went to center city Philly (which is pretty cool actually) and I got her dinner. We clicked, I thought she was gorgeous (she is) and it happened to be really cold and rainy. She got more sick and miserable. We went back to my dorm room and rented a movie. We wanted to rent a movie neither of us had heard of before just to be a bit outside of our boundaries and interesting. It was the Woodsman with Kevin Bacon...if you haven't seen it (like me since ) it is about a pedophile who ends up molesting more young girls. TALK ABOUT AWKWARD It didn't disrupt our "connection" though, which seemed like a good sign. I took her out 2 weeks later and we had a great time (except I was sick this time around, connect the dots ). History from there. She ended up transferring from a so-so state school to an elite private school and going on to get her M.S. degree (at an even better school) in an extremely difficult field. This woman is my best friend in the world, absolutely gorgeous, and incredibly intelligent. Robert I don't think you met her since you weren't to the GTGs that I dragged her to. She reluctantly embraces my love of cars just as I reluctantly embrace her love of shoes...(easy gifts right??)

Oh, I should say I didn't fart in front of her for a year. This is a true measure of commitment IMHO....I had a water fountain outside my room and excused myself "to get a drink" 2-3x an hour. She later told me she thought I was diabetic but didn't say anything

In a Pub in Belfast...
I was visiting Ireland and decided to go up to Belfast to see an old family friend. This was during the "troubles" and the city was like a urban war zone.
I went to a pub one night and was just getting into my 2nd pint of Guiness when the door opened and a Tommy crew came in and shouted "Clear Out". It appeared that there might be a bomb in the pub. I hauled ass out the door with everyone else and took shelter on the next street in a doorway and bumped into a cute redhead. We shared a smoke while we waited for the all clear when a huge explosion happened. The pub was history. She said come with me to a safer pub and I spent the evening playing darts and getting smashed. Fast Forward 6 months to the Spring of 1977 and I was walking into a Spring Semester Geology class at NYU. I sit down and look up and who is across the aslile from me but the cute redhead from Belfast! 18 months later we moved in together and were married in the summer of 1983. 29 years later we are still together. |
