That makes total sense! I never looked ...Hi Robena,<br />That makes total sense! I never looked at it that way before. There's that element of wanting to make a connection, so maybe you do or say things that aren't really in character, whereas finding someone out of the blue would lend itself to more honesty, which is a great basis for a relationship!!<br /><br /><br />Hi Jana,<br />I love that you blindsided your husband! Very cool that you saw it coming with him. Thanks for stopping in!<br /><br /><br />Hi Elise,<br />Yes, I keep telling my daughter it's just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is a poor man, but I'm just joking. I just want her to be happy. Money doesn't always = happy. Although I wouldn't mind if she found both. LOL.

Not a bad life. <br /><br /><br /><br />Hi Lynne,<br />Thanks for your 3 tries! You know I love you! Yeah, sometimes love creeps up on you too. Love that just as much as being blindsided. <br /><br /><br /><br />Hi A.Y.,<br />You came back to tell me your story!! How awesome is that! Sounds like a fun night to look back on once it was over. I imagine it's something you two look back on and still giggle about.

Since I knew no one else there, and hardly knew my date, I was trying to be the perfect guest. In other words I was smiling and not talking. Very hard for me. Soon after our arrival, the groom-to-be sat on the glass-top coffee table and with a loud bang, crashed through it! All thirty of us gasped and waited to see how the guy was going to get out of the table without hurting himself in vital places. (He was fine.) Later at dinner we sat with "a New York model" and the biggest braggart I have ever met. The guy blabbed on, telling us we must contact him if we ever got to New York, so he could advise us where to eat, have champagne, etc. (I decided not to tell him I went to school in New York state.) When he told a dumb joke, I guess we didn't laugh enough, so the model began to explain it. I got the giggles. Couldn't stop. On the way home my cute date started laughing. "I told you it was going to be a weird party!"A. Y.

The same thing happened to me. When I first met my future husband, I had given up on men for a lot longer than you had. It wasn't whamo-zamo either. Just a simple thought - "hmm, I feel like I know this guy." And - "I'd go out with him again"<br />A year later we were married.<br /><br />Your book sounds a lot more exciting than our true life love stories! :)Lynne Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156587180087372120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-81404752328824932862013-07-29T08:18:03.138-07:002013-07-29T08:18:03.138-07:00Ahhh, romance.

So we met casually several times. One night sparks flashed. He made me laugh. I made him laugh. A month later he called and said he was going to "a weird party and needed a weird date." I said, "I'd love to." (It was truly a weird party!) We were married three years later. He is the best thing that ever happened to me.A. Y. Strattonhttp://www.aystratton.comnoreply@blogger.com
