I just read stillme's post about meeting his wife: StillMe's Story in which he tells about his first kiss with his wife, realtor responded about her first kiss and I thought that would be a cool thread, maybe make us remember a little why we're doing all of this.

My first kiss....LOL, just thinking about it makes me laugh, I had met my husband through a friend, but he didn't ask me for my number or even walk me to my car when I left, so I assumed he wasn't interested.

My friend called me that night and said "Guess who asked for your number?" I said "What?....He asked YOU for my number? Why didn't he ask me? I just assumed he wasn't interested..." She said "No, he's interested, he likes you"

So we had spent a little more time together, at the park and then he came over to my parents house, where I lived and played euchre with my niece and her boyfriend. When it was time for him to leave I walked him outside...we were standing face to face, and he started talking, he said...."Ya know, I really like you and....." he didn't get a chance to finish because I sprang towards him and started kissing him, I stopped and he started laughing...he said "Sheesh you didn't even let me finish", I said "Yeah, I'm not big on the awkward silences"...and as for the kiss itself *sigh* it was perfect......The kiss was always a determining factor when I was dating a guy....if there weren't any sparks when we kissed...he was on his way out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

*Sigh* such a nice memory.

Ok here is my story - I was a single mother of 2 boys -working at a college switch board - I passed the keys to the phone room out to telephone workers and had them sign for them. Busy busy all day..So one day I am working and this guy comes in my phone room with a big NO Admittance sign on the door. I think just who the hell do you think you are??? He says -I was in a bad mood this day- Can I ask you one question -I looked at him and said just one. He said if I asked you out would you go out with me? I said why shoudl I? - He sat down and started telling me why. I had had it with a guy I ad been seeing for 3 yrs and at this point did not care to see any man for the rest of my life. I told him I was dating someone else already. I asked him all kinds of questions and told him I had 2 sons and that they were young and need a man who could be a father figure for them. He said I have 2 myself and showed me their pictures. He already knew my name -name plate on my desk and he worked for phone company so I gave him my number. Well I was gone Friday and Sat and come home Sunday am and he was calling. Told him my house was being shown -had it up for sale. My ex did not know -no sign out front. So in the driveway comes my ex with two dirty kids - and the realtor with the people to look and this future H in a phone co. truck all at the same time . H looks sees me getting me kids from 1st ex -gets out of truck and puts his tool belt on and hard hat. I think now thats a smart man. Then when everyone leaves he has lunch with me and two dirty boys -they asked him to stay for dinner and he said yes. I almost died. He came back for dinner really enjoyed two clean boys ate so much 3 helpings of a boiled dinner. After boys are tucked in bed and asleep he kissed me and that was it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> -we have never been apart since. He asked me to marry him on Tuesday. I said yes.House sold that day -cash buyer -moved in with him- one month later- Married 4 years after. Have to add he ate 3 plates of boiled dinner and guess what he and I hate boiled dinner. Just made it because it was cheap at that time.

That's a sweet story Realtor. Isn't it amazing how in love they were with us in the beginning? How the hell did we get from there to where we are now?

I tell ya what, when my husband does give me a 2nd chance, I'm never gonna let this happen again.

Yeah Caren he was like that for 19 years though. Until the other b$tch came into picture when he was an emotional wreck. Boy she just wormed her way and he fell for it. blah balh blah about me and he thought he saw me as someone else with a fair amount of his blaming all his **** on me.. He is awake now though and now I'm not sure I want to live with distrust in our realtionship. I am gving myself all the time in the world to decide and save my $$$$. Sold a house today -its a good start..

I met my WH while he was playing pro ball. I was walking by with a drink and he said hi. He was in the stands charting the other pitcher. My heart stopped!!!! He asked me out and the rest is history!!!! When he first kissed my heart melted. He was so sweet and so gentle. I was his "first". I think that's why all of this hurts me so bad. I was his first and now I'm just a number. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

I will always remember the man that I fell in love with.

We were in college when we had our first kiss. He took me to a ballgame the night before and we talked for hours in his car. He didn't make a move, even though I sensed he wanted to. I left it up to him to make the first move. Everyone had told me my WH had a huge crush on me and you could see how he felt about me by just looking in his eyes.

The next day he was a typing ( more like pecking) a paper and I came over to just to be with him, cause I was also having strong feelings about him. Next thing I knew he turn around from the computer and softly gave me a kiss. Right there, I fell in love with him.

He wasn't my first kiss but he was the first one (and only one)I ever been initimate with. He has my heart and now someone else has his.

He had this way making me feel so special like I was his love of his life, which I was until the OW had come in with her games and malipulation to destroy all the years we had together.

This July would have been our Fifteenth wedding anniversary and we would have been together for almost twenty years. Now I'm just a nobody to him and the OW is the special person in his life.

*sigh* me too. My WH was madly in love with me within 2 weeks he was asking me to marry him....and I made him wait 3 years. Our relationship was always pretty intense back then...I thought it had finally calmed down....my mistake, here we are again.

I mean I love a challenge and all that...but this is getting ridiculous, I'm too damn old to be going through this juvenile bullsh*t.

*sigh*

Caren...

I know...I really didn't want to be in this place at my age....not that I'm old...LOL....but I wanted to have other children and was planning on our future as a family forever. I swear....just when you think you're ok and handleing everything ok...boom...you're down again. I hate it!!!! I was fine all day and then this evening I just have been so depressed. I just miss having someone here to hold me and tell me everything is going to be alright. It just really hurts to know that I'm here alone and he's in someone else's arms. Uggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

My WH saw me on the night before Thanksgiving (big Party night in our small town), asked someone who I was, they asked if he wanted to meet me. Said "No, I'll meet her on my own terms".

Flash forward 6 months to a friend's wedding- kissed all my friends who were around me then, when I told him my name, he said "I know who you are" and kissed my hand. Taken ever since!! Attractive, but not so terribly handsome - just a man of confidence and charm. Never looked back!

My husband and I worked together. We were great friends for about 4 years. He was raising his children by himself, and I always admired him. He was a hard worker, a good, honest, Christian man.

He was looking for someone to date and I told him to put an ad in the local newspaper dating page. I had a lot of great times that way. Well, he found my ad and said that my description of the man I was looking for matched him exactly.

I still remember that day. I was shocked to say the least.

KA - Not to threadjack, but how old are you? There are many good women of childbearing age that want a good man.

LOL don't worry about thread-jacking...I was wondering how old he was too.

knowalibis-

All women aren't looking for someone with a 'power job' and tons of income. My WH only makes 7.00....that didn't even slow me down having a child with him.


You'll just have to find ya a young one that still wants babies. Don't be discouraged, my cousin didn't marry until he was 40 and he married a younger woman, and they have 2 kids now.

Tree-

Cheer up honey!!!
