Have you told anyone it was a rocky path to matrimony?
I did stage show, mostly as Rocky, back in 86-87, Camelview Theatre, Scottsdale, AZ
Ok, this one is kinda cute too.
Small town, we both know many (I mean MANY) of the same people and hang out at the same bars, go shopping at the same stores, etc… I even knew her brother for 20 some years but never, ever remember seeing her. Ever. I would have remembered.
Last July I’m hanging out at one of my better friends house (Lee, I’ve known him for 20 years also) with some other friends while we’re waiting for Lee to come home from the bar (he stopped for a few after work). Lee has a twin brother. Lee gets approached by this gal at the bar who thought he was actually his twin brother Dale (who lives in Arizona now). Talk ensues and he invites her over to the house to party with the rest of us.
I see this gorgeous gal walk in and I first assumed that she was with Lee cause they came together, but that wasn’t the case. We talked briefly and nothing came of it.
Two weeks later I see her at the bar with her brother (who I’ve known for 20 years) and start talking to her one on one. We seem to hit if off pretty well. Alas, there is another gathering at Lee’s so I invite her back to his place again since she’s already met most of the people that would be there.
Towards the end of the evening it was just me and Lee and her. Talking and getting drunk and venturing down some personal roads. Lee mentions that he thinks he’s a very good kisser and I jumped in to say something like (in a drunk voice) “No, I’m probably a better kisser!” Somehow we ended up both kissing her (not at the same time) and it turns out that I was the better kisser.
[Actually, it turns out that my SO steered the conversation towards a kissing duel just so she could kiss me (I couldn’t loose)] So it was a rigged contest, IOW.
I gave her a ride home that night and we made out in the car in front of her house. I almost forgot to get her number - she had to waive me down as I drove away and we exchanged numbers.
We took things slowly until we both were in a position to commit (too many details), but it turns out that the pace we were sort of forced to proceed at gave us a chance to fall in love before we became intimate. Which has never happened to me before! And so far this is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. I can honestly say that I feel blessed and honored to be with this woman. I don’t think I could possibly love someone more! The feelings are mutual from what I feel and from what she tells me, so that’s the icing on the cake.
Your story was going really well, Uncommon Sense, until you admitted to drink driving :eek:
He flirted with me on the SDMB.
To be honest, the ride home was about three hours later and she lived 6 blocks away. Probably close to the legal limit, but I felt incredibly sober since I was on this natural high from having met and connected with her.
