Damn...I grew up in the wrong time it seems.

I had to find a girl by beating other guys up and knowing how to swing a hammer.

 

I had to rely on my smooth talking and good looks. It’s a wonder I have kids lol

 

I met mine at work. I got to see his work ethic up close (excellent).

 

So these gals never had a dad who helped raise them or just left huh.

 

Not much different then online dating. Something like 65 percent of relationships start online. Met my wife on Yahoo chat and we have been married for 15 years so far.

 

Met mine on yahoo personals. Prettiest woman I ever dated. Going on 16 years now.

 

No thank you. I met mine... At church!

I met my ex at church. Marrying her was the second biggest mistake of my life.

 

I "met" my husband of 21 years at a gas pump. He asked for my phone#, he got my AOL SN. The whole conversation took less than 15 sec. Six weeks later and many conversations later, he was finally granted a date (best first date EVER) After that, we didn't waste much time, we were married less than 6 months later.
I realize boy crazy is a phase and I am not going to criticize their methods, I just hope they are actually getting potential BFs and not pervy stalkers.

Unfortunately it is pervy stalkers and genetal pics by and large.

ETA: I actually met my (now banned b/c he's a jerk who doesn't know how to play nice with people) husband right here on SB on total accident lol.

 

Honestly, I bet more of these notes get read by the mothers of teenage boys than get read by the boys.

 

When was the last time a kid checked their pockets before going into the laundry??......its my weekly entertainment seeing what I can find

 

Really seams crazy , my wife was my waitress / bar tender she would bring me plates of meat crab lobster tails cheese stake , If I only knew Tony was responsible for all those fine meals I would’ve went home with him.

 

I got my wife the old fashioned way.... I hit her over the head with a club and drug her back to my cave.

 

That's sort of how it happened with my wife, but in reverse.

We met at a party and dated for a couple of months, but I lived in San Jose and she was in Santa Cruz, which made logistics tricky.

Then I got very sick with a really nasty upper respiratory infection, and was in bed completely delirious with high fever for a few days.

When I came out of it, I and all of my worldly possessions had been moved from my apartment to her place.

She's sneaky, ambitious, opportunistic and underhanded, valuable traits to have in a lifetime ally

 

I met my wife at college.

I bet even when they find a guy, he's not really a guy.

Soon you'll be assigned an appropriate person by the government.

 

My first girlfriend just patted my ass walking by, game on. Simpler times.
PS, she ignored me patting her ass walking by, for a while.
14 yr old boy became good times, great memories.
She abandoned me for a senior, :-(
Lesson learned.

 

Met my wife at work been together 30 years and counting. She is 18 years younger than me

 

Koolade, my husband is 19 years older than me. Quite the scandal us dating I was 17 and he was 37. Plus I have brain damage which TPTB all thought made me an idiot.

That may be the case but we've been married 28 years and both still happy in each other's company.

 

My wife is 8 years and a month younger than me. I met her when I was 23 and she was 14. First date when she was 16 and I was 25.

We've been together....15 years now? 17? Something like that. So long it doesn't matter.

 

..We've been together.... So long it doesn't matter.

..Yep, 36 / 52 ratio, here.. (19 / 35 when we kicked it off.. ) Been together 16+ now, 'hitched' for 14 of 'em, and still shootin fer the Moon..

^^^^ My wife had just barley turned 20 when we met. I was from a different world than she was. Long Hair Harley Rider rough with my speech. Though I had quit drinking before that would be the only reason she even talked to me.
Her very quite and very naive about Life in General.
I wasn't what her Mother expected. LOL MIL really didn't accept me until our tenth year and her Grandson was born. Only One by the way. His middle name is her dead husband name. Her brothers didn't think we would make 10 weeks let alone 10 years and now 26 years later. LOL

 

This turned into a Very Nice Thread. Good to see a lot of semi long-term relationships and how they started

 

Eharmony 14 years ago. FANTASTIC marriage - honeymoon never ended.

 

My husband and I met in the Atlanta airport during a long layover. The flight before ours had been cancelled and was combined wuth ours. Lots of unhappy campers.

Once we were finally in the air they started handing out free drink coupons to make everyone happy. Three G&Ts later I was brave/bold enough to write my number on a torn out page of my Day Timer. I gave it to him at the luggage carousel on arrival at our destination.

We had our first date two weeks later. We've been married 30 years.

He still carries the folded Day Timer page in his wallet.

The strangest "Come On" I witnessed closeup was in a small town in the mountains of Puerto Rico. Three of us were walking in the town plaza, when a group of giggling girls walked by and one slapped my friends on his back. We thought it a rather strange custom until we later noticed a Kotex pad stuck to the back of his shirt.

 

So that is what that note was when I was buying size 15 EE shoes

 

In this country, the divorce rate is still hovering right around the 40% to 50% mark. So while meeting people on line is certainly easier, faster, and far more efficient, it doesn't appear to have lowered the overall divorce rate in this country by much.... If at all. Bottom line, a lot of people still get sick and tired of each other. Human nature I guess. And no machines will improve that, anymore than Carvana will make your next used car last longer.

 

Met my wife at a skating rink where I was brought to meet her girlfriend. Later was invited over to their apartment for a party got stupid drunk and went home with another girl. Next night went back to try to make amends. Ended up dating for 3 months. Been married for 58 yrs.

 

37 years ago I was standing on the platform when the most beautiful woman I had ever seen walked into the church. We had met almost 3 years earlier and started dating. I still feel like the luckiest man in the world.

 

My wife and I have been married 40 years but, it's felt like 7 minutes..... under water...

I told her when I die, I want to be buried in blue jeans and a flannel shirt and she started with "Well, when I die, I wanna.." and I stopped her right there. I told he when she dies, shes just got 2 choices.. Regular or Unleaded.. That'll be the gas I pour on her and cremate her with..

Unbelievable what they charge for that simple service.. and THEN, you have to pay to bury the ashes.. What a crock..

As for dating apps, when/if my ole lady passes before I do, I'll be more than happy to live on my own with a few dogs to keep me company.

 

what funeral homes charge does get outrageous. And having prior experience in the funeral business as a gravedigger, labor ain’t free and neither is the plot it goes in
