These are fun to read.

Here's mine:

I was out with a bunch of friends in San Francisco at a bar in North Beach. I saw this cute blonde walk in and assumed she was with the guy she came in with and continued to admire from across the room.

A while later my buddies had a few drinks and started acting obnoxious so I stepped away and hung out by myself. Out of the blue the blonde came up to me and asked me to dance. It totally caught me off guard. I stuttered and mumbled something about getting a drink. I remember dancing very awkwardly then settling in at the bar as soon as possible. Turns out she was there alone with her roommate and her roommate's boyfriend (they're married now too). We talked the rest of the night.

Eventually the bar closed at 2am and we ended up out on the sidewalk. I was scrambling to find some way of getting her number, she had no problem walking away and writing it off to a fun night. Fortunately some girl with a giant purse happened to be walking by and in a desperate move I asked her for a pen and paper. Unbelievably the girl had both and I got her number. Called her a couple days later - here we are 2 kids and 15 years later.

As it turns out, she had a boyfriend she was in the process of breaking up with at the time. He tried to woo her back by showing up at her house with rented Mustang. She didn't tell me that until years later
