Thread Name: BS: How did you meet? When did you KNOW?
Subject: RE: BS: How did you meet? When did you KNOW?
I was to be a dorm advisor my junior year of college. I was really looking forward to living in a private room which only advisors got. When I showed up with all my belongings to move in, the dorm mother informed me that because of overcrowding that year, two advisors on the entire campus would have to share a single-person room. My roomie turned out to be the sister of my now Hubby. I met Hubby on the steps to the dorm since he was helping his sister move in.
The story I later heard was that he was halfway home with his brother (~20 miles away) and turned to him and said, "I'm going back to get a date with her (me). He bopped into the dorm while I was sitting desk duty at the front desk and asked me out. I loved his shoes (be-bops) so of course I said yes.
But the second date was the real clincher. We went for an allday picnic at Natural Bridge (beautiful nature area), and I returned thoroughly "snowed." (The dorm mother later admitted that she thought I was drunk.) I think I "knew" then, but I spent the next 1 1/2 years refusing to get engaged, then another year before getting married.
At 18 I sincerely thought I'd never marry. Then at 23 I was married. It's been 32 years.
