You can get a burrito at 5:30 in the morning?! Awesome! LMAO that that's all you got from that story! I feel like that was a very important detail.

We met in college. If I were to get divorced now, I have no idea where I'd meet someone. All my friends are married with kids and I can't think of anyone that is single (mid-30's). In other words, nobody really goes out anymore and that's how I used to meet people. Yes, if I was to get divorced, I think that the people in my age bracket would all already be shacked up or married with kids or come with some serious baggage. I don't know if I could do that. I figure online dating or meet up groups will be the only way to go for me. The baggage can make it so you have a lot in common & a lot to talk about. "Your ex was crazy, my ex was crazy too!"

Haapai is a chick who used to date girls, but now has a boyfriend. She taught me the best term ever which is hasbien. I'll be shocked if I'm wrong. Sent from my ADR6410LVW using proboards yes, that the term that was mentioned, but I am pretty sure I will never understand the other part...... hasbian. A term meaning a lesbian who now partakes in heterosexual activities. (according to my lesbian cousin)

We woke up in the drunk tank together ?! No, actually, we met through a newspaper ad, but that seems so tame.

If current male homosexuals are gay, are former male homosexuals sad?

I feel like I just tripped out on acid... Here is your test - is Haapi a male or female? For years, I thought he was a guy. then "he" called himself a term that I've never seen before but good ol' Google told me it meant "male lesbian" and now we are back to "he". If you know the answer, you are in better shape than I am I am just soooo confused...... I thought she happai was a woman?

In my front yard LOL!
Actually it was on one of the free internet dating sites. There was a lot of screening out of crappy guys and I wasn't looking for anything serious. DH picked me out and we've been together 4 years now.

Anyone have hilariously bad first date stories to share? I'm at work and it's slow and I'm sleep deprived, all of which makes me very willing to send mental cookies/wine to anyone who can make me laugh.

I was out with a Marine. He challanged me to do a shot of bourbon. So I did. So did he.
He then threw up on my shoes.
NO SECOND DATE!

I met one other guy from match. He sent me a nice email & we exchanged emails for a while. I didn't think he looked that attractive, but I figured personality might make up for it & give him a shot. He showed up late in a baseball hat, sweatshirt (in June), and what looked like construction worker jeans. He was also all sweaty, possibly from rushing to get to the restaurant or because he was wearing a sweatshirt in June. His profile said he was an 40 & an engineer making 150K/yr. I am pretty sure he was closer to 50 & turns out he is not doing engineering right now, but rather unemployed & in the process of researching buying some bar. He was also fairly deaf so he could not hear me in a quiet restaurant & I don't talk quiet (I usually get told to talk quieter because I am being too loud).
The best part was he was wearing one of those arm brace things. Don't know what they are called, but they hold your arm in close to your body, I think to prevent you from moving your shoulder. Only he wasn't using it. At no point during the date did he use it - he moved both arms around freely. I kept wondering if I should ask, was it supposed to be a conversation starter or something. But I never brought it up, nor did he, so that remains a mystery. A coworker compared it to wearing an eyepatch on your forehead.
It also became apparent quickly we had no repartee or chemistry (IMO). So I tried to down my drink as quickly as reasonably possible & said I had to go pick up my kids.

The old fashion way : through a mutual friend. Here is the story : we were both 17 and friends with the same girl (still are and she was maid of honor at our wedding). So as I was talking to my friend, she kept on always telling me: I will call you back, X is on the other line. Or I just spoke to X, or X this, X that. One day I tell my friend: Who the Hell is X? She said a friend from school and I said jokingly : give me her number, I want to talk to that girl that is stealing my best friend from me. My friend stupidly gave me her number (I guess thinking I would not be stupid enough to call a total stranger... she was wrong) and I called her. And we started talking, and talked and talked... now my friend got jealous because we were now talking to each other and ignoring her. I had a girlfriend at the time that I broke up with because I was actually interested in my wife (but I did not tell her that). And my wife actually tried to re-unite me with my ex girlfriend until after a failed attempt I told her: you do realize I broke up with my ex to be with you right. We started dating on her 18th birthday and that was 11 years ago. We are still friends with our best friend that got us together and will fully take credit for this relationship every chance she gets. She got dibs on being the godmother to our first child

(Ted Bundy would put his arm in a sling, ask if a woman would help carry something to his car, and then hit them in the head when they went to set it down.) You may be lucky to be alive

We met at church.
(Weird trivia ... we grew up on the same street ... but several miles apart. We attended the same university and graduated at the same time from the same school (School of Arts and Humanities) and our names were listed next to each other, alphabetically, in the graduation program ... but we didn't meet until more than a decade later!)
Where, by the way, our names were listed next to each other, alphabetically, in the church directory.

DH and I met on the first day of junior high, 18 years ago. We started dating at the end of 7th grade and were together until 10th. Then I broke up with him to date his best friend (he has almost forgiven me for that ), went off to college with the best friend, and he moved in with a female coworker. We were still pretty good friends through all this. During the winter of my senior year of college, I came back home to attend his wedding to the female coworker. I cried like a baby the entire time. During the spring of my senior year of college, my best friend since kindergarten got an email from DH letting her know that his marriage was over and he wanted to hook back up with our group (XW did NOT like us so he had kind of drifted off). Friend emailed me, very excited. She was having a party in a couple of weeks, so I offered to give DH a ride to Indy. The night before the party, I went over to his house to watch a movie, and (except for driving back to take finals and graduate) never left. The funny part is that the anniversary of the second time we started dating is the exact same anniversary of the first time we started dating (May 5). Together 8 years this time, married almost 5. None of that was probably helpful to Tdog, though...sorry!

Anyone have hilariously bad first date stories to share? I'm at work and it's slow and I'm sleep deprived, all of which makes me very willing to send mental cookies/wine to anyone who can make me laugh. Probably a little late to help out, but I have one. Freshman year - COLLEGE. There was this guy that worked in the dishroom with me and we really hit it off. We'd often go to the snack bar after our shift for a soda and talk and do homework together for hours. He asked me out on a real date, you know - where would you like me to take you to dinner type of thing. Since we were both broke college kids this was kinda of a big deal. I choose a cheap place and he said no, I'd like to take you to (very nice restarant - white table clothes etc). He picks me up at my dorm and drives me to the restarant. Escorts me to a table where, wait for it...his mother is already seated. Apparently he had already decided I was THE ONE and wanted to get his mom's impression. Awkward!!! I don't even remember what I ate, just the very painful conversation (and not even much of that!). I had to make it very clear to him that I was focused on school, and wasn't interested in long term relationships. He was pretty weird with me after that and didn't come back sophmore year.

Ok, this sounds weird, but we met at my front door. He was with a friend of mine and she brought him with her. A week or so later he called me and asked me out. A year later we were married....and all that happened 51 years ago.
Our 50th anniversary is Oct. 24, 2014.
