How did you find your future partner for life?

[Gerald]

How did you meet, at the pub, university, car wash or on the road ...

I met her there when buying my vegetables, she stood opposite and looked at a banana stock but an empty basket, and took up the stock which was flying right heavily, so I asked her if she wanted help,she told me that she would be away on a small party and would bring something to it and the basket would consist then of various fruits, she had decided, I was wondering what fruits basket would contain in addition to bananas, and she just said something edible that can slip down and are easy and ,so I gave her tips on the various options ... when I were finished,I disappeared in the store to buy the rest of my food, then when I paid, I came out in the parking lot where she was standing with two big bags with fruit, she said her taxi was late, as I said that I can fix that, so me and her bananas and she went into my car, and then ride the two miles to the party...

College, she was a friend of a friend. We kinda hit it off at first sight. I remember chatting about computer games with her, she had just got Final Fantasy IX but I wasn't a Final Fantasy player back then however we had both played Spyro the Dragon, so we had a chat about that. We exchanged email addresses a short time later, emailed each other a bit, and within a fortnight or three weeks we were an item.

A nice way, and then in April 2012, you will be an even finer man.

I saw her in a computer magazine. I mean, AES instruction set, 6 cores, 12 threads, Cuda support, dx11
What man can resist that?

Than I got myself the money, (while humming this song: )

became a rich bitch, and got me my parter of my dreams.
She will be with me for the rest of her life, which will end when visual studio 2014 comes out.

Back in EMT school, she was my partner for patient assessment. I got to feel her up pretty good, discretely of course . And then I asked her to a movie.

She replied with "Shouldn't you take me to the movie and THEN feel me up?"

We had lived together for a few years, and then on Sept 10, 2001, she was leaving for a class trip to Jamaica the next morning. Fun way to get 3 English credits. Since it was about an hour and half to get to the airport, and it was a 7am flight, we decided to stay the night in Columbus.

On the way to the hotel/dinner, she asked me, seriously for the first time, if we planned to get married. I went into this whole spiel about how I liked the way we were, and Enjoyed my freedom and yadda yadda. She was crestfallen. I could literally see her deflate. The ring was in my pocket the whole time.

So we're at dinner that night at her favorite restaurant. I waited till dessert and then got down on my knee and proposed. She was so confused she thought I had found the ring on the floor. Then she realized what I had done earlier, and after she said yes, beat the crap out me.

It was worth it.

Then.... the next morning, I get home and turn on the TV to see all that happening. And she's stuck in Detroit for 2 days. Took her till midnight to get a hold of me and tell me she was ok. School eventually sent a bus up there and drove them all back.

A curious question, what movie did you see the first time? I really must express my gentleman-rate approach to you!

I wouldn't say that. You don't know what I had put up with and endure for 7 years before I finally had enough and got out of my previous relationship.

As for she who found me..... we're engaged. (And yeah I did the Proposing. LOL this isn't all one sided ya know )

Of course, you had to work for her, and it is worth it

The first love of my life I was 16 and crazy about this girl who lived in another town I would go to my grandmothers at the weekends and at night I would sneak out and go see her we were in love - puppy love that is and went out for 4 yrs then one day I went away for the weekend only to come back on Monday to hear that her father and her had a big argument where he sent her down to her mothers to live which is in the south island to far to chase her so I moved on but I was so broken for a good couple of months. About 10 or so years later we bumped into each other and I could see I still had feelings for her and she the same you just know by the body language, we talked for ages then went our ways as we were both married.... with kids I never loved another woman like I did with her, even my wife (exwife) came 2nd to her. Just wasn't meant to be.

^WTF , cracks open a beer to get my manly-ness back.
