How did you meet your partner?

My wife and I literally bumped into each other in the hallway in high school. I was a senior and she was a junior. I found out later that she was a good friend of one of my cousins and I think my cousin felt we would make a good couple. So maybe was some prior planning to arrange an "accidental" meeting.

I remember our first date was going to a high school football game and out for pizza after. We went to the Pizza Hut and I asked her what type of pizza she liked and she said a cheese pizza. I told her I was rich enough to afford a pizza with some toppings on it. Anyway, 4 years later, a month after graduating college we were married. That was over 51 years ago.

We still have a laugh about that first date. She always said she didn't want to order a pizza that too expensive because she didn't know how much money I had to spend. I joke back that that is the reason I knew she was a good match for me. She knew the importance of money management. She says I married you because you told me you were rich.

A Puerto Rican blonde? You proposed that same night? Did she ever teach you to salsa or have you just been slow dancing for 63 years?

Yes blond. Even way back then hair dye was used. Didn't propose the same night took until early Feb. I had to be approved by her mother & other family members. We were never able to really be alone. Our dating consisted of meeting at the place we met or on the balcony of her home. Mother had the blinds open & her brother or her brother's friends were at the place we met, we did manage to sneak in a kiss or two while slow dancing. Watchful eyes at all times.

As for salsa. Tried but always looked like a one legged man in an a$$ kicking contest.

We met in Jail...not what you think. We both worked for the County Sheriff's Dept.(she-medical records clerk, me-correctional maintenance mechanic). I spotted her over at the salad bar in the officer's dining room, I struck up a conversation...she mentioned something about her "boyfriend"...oops, never mind. Some time later, while completing a maintenance repair request in the Medical Clinic, we spoke again. this time she was more receptive....

Boyfriends come and go.
 
I met my husband at an ice rink where I was taking lessons and had become good friends with my coach. He expressed to her an interest in me, and she became the liaison for us until he asked me out to one of his hockey games where he was goal tender for an armature league team. Marrying him was the best decision of my life. We've been married 36 years.

I met my boyfriend online, gosh, ten years ago this November. We were friends for about six-ish years before our relationship changed into what it is now. He is lovely and I'm so fortunate in having him in my life.
