Met wife at a house party.It was a church club event. It was a singles club. Married for 36 yrs,thick and thin.Now for the kicker,she had long black hair down to her waist, we were playing spin the bottle!

In '73 I was a 16 year old teenager working at a military Post Exchange store (PX), on Ft Monroe Va. I doubt that is even allowed today.
I got to be friends with one of the other guys there,(older, about 18) and eventually met his beautiful younger sister, who was 15 at the time. It was love at first sight, but sadly she didn't share the same sight.
As the summer wore on, I would stop by the house to see "her brother David" often. Sometimes I would show up too early and end up sitting with his mother and sister while waiting on David. Still getting no where.
December 1973, and David brings his sister by our work place. Parked in back is my recently acquired 1967 GTO. Gold with a black top and interior, with red lines and a 4 speed. FINALLY, her vision improved.
Next June 26th, we will be married for 40 years.

I will add that it still took 3 months for her to come around. Our first date was a trip to Suffolk Dragstrip. She sat on the console of a '69 Z-28 that I was driving, probably 6" taller than me sitting there.

First day of first grade. She was the little blonde girl with the skinny legs, I was the little farm boy with big ears. In high school she had steady boy friends and I had girl friends. Ended up double dating a few times. We both got married to other people, I went to her wedding, she was at mine.
Years pass and she lost her husband to cancer, I lost my wife suddenly. Gave her a call one night, went out to dinner, car show the next day.
That was 20 years ago. Married almost 17.

[BOB VIDAN]

Blind date, late 1963. Remember opening the trunk of my "really cool" 50 Chevy Bel Air hardtop and proceeding to close the trunk lid on my right foot. She laughed her a$$ off but worked for me. 50 years coming up 2/5/2016. Even my mother couldn't stand me that long, tolerate, YES, stand NO!

In the summer of 1974 I was 16 years old and had my first car, a 1964 Dodge Custom 880. Eric Clapton was going to be playing at the Cow Palace in South San Francisco. A friend of mine asked if I was going, but I said no because I didn't have a ticket. He knew a girl with an extra ticket but no ride, so he introduced us. We went to the show and had a good time. We began dating as seniors in high school (I had my first 65 GTO by then) and we got married in 1980. That was around 40-50 cars ago. Whenever someone comments that I never hang onto a car for long I just say, "yea, but I'm still on my first wife."

I was going thru a divorce it was taking forever. I used to go out on the weekends to dance clubs. I was looking around and this beautiful girl was at the bar, she saw me looking at her she looked at me and said "don't I know you from the bank?" The funny thing was I tried to pick up a bank teller that day pulling out my money to try and protect what was left from the ex.
I said which bank. She said she worked in a bank close by. She walked away with her friends but I knew I had to have a date at least. I stayed close by and when a good song came on I asked her to dance. We danced and talked for hours. I took her out again Sunday for diner and knew I would marry her.
We have been married 20 years this September, 3 kids and she still is hot, even fits in the same size as when we met!!! I wish I fit in the same size as I was when we met.
Never even thought about another woman since.

At the local burger drive-in( ParkMoor ) where we all cruised-in, there was this really hot carhop with coal black hair and big blue eyes. She refused to date any of us street racers or even give us the time of day. I had a friend who was a friend of her brother. He introduced me to her and we went out the next weekend. That was 47 years ago and we married later that year. Now she's a grandmother and is still hot.

It was summer of 1971, and I was pumping gas at a local Mobil station. 17 years old with a 1968 Highland Green Mustang fastback. It was a cool car with a 289 V8 and a 3 speed stick, dual exhaust and chrome reverse wheels (remember those?)

These 2 girls used to come to the station to buy soda. One hot summer day that came in, and one of them really caught my eye. She was a smoking hot Italian girl that did all the right things to me......

I garnered the courage to ask her out, and our first date was at the local drive in, which is still open today (since 1955).

The date cost me less than $10 - $3 for a half tank of gas, $2 to get into the drive in, and $3 for hot dogs, popcorn, ice cream, and drinks.

We dated until 1977, and were married.

Still married, two grown sons, and still feel the same way about her today.

Everyone in the company had to do annual inventory in the warehouse. Got a very attractive but married girl as my inventory partner. A couple of years later I found out she had gotten divorced and was past the all-men-are-evil stage. Co-workers went out to a bar after work and we ended up talking all evening and agreed to go on a date. I was so attracted to her she swears I was scraping the ice off her car windows as she was leaving. First date was pizza and beer at Bill's Pub in Mundelein. Married a year and a half later, and been happily married for 21 years.

[carcrazy]

She was literally the girl next door so I knew her from the age of 8. Started dating at 17. Her parents disliked me (hoodlum) so we had to sneak around for about a year. Married her at 18 and was fortunate to be able to spend 37 years with her.

[Old Man Taylor]

It was August of 1961. My girl friend of 2 years had recently broken up with me, and I was transitioning from JC to the university. I went to visit a friend in North Hollywood who had been in some of my classes at the JC. We were talking in his front yard when a blue and white '55 Buick Century drove up. Out popped a bubbly and beautiful blonde. I was shy and introverted, so all I could do was observe. After she left I asked my friend if they were an item. He said no. I asked if they were dating regularly, and he said no (he must have been crazy). I asked if he minded if I asked her out, he said "not at all". Then I asked for her name and phone number. I really went out of my comfort zone giving her a cold call and asking her out. Our first date was to see the movie "The Parent Trap". She was 17 and I was 20. There was never another woman for me after that first date. We were married 4-4-64, soon after I graduated from college, and we were married until her sudden death in January of 2004. She is responsible for 2 children, 4 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Of course I also was somewhat responsible.

My first day at my new job at the Chevy dealer was at General Motors zone office. We had training school for the very first GM computers installed in the dealerships here (1985). I was on time for school, my co-worker (who I had never met) was 40 minutes late! I called my new boss to ask him where she was staying and he assured me she would be there soon. (The whole class had to wait to start until she showed up.)

I told her I had called the boss to see where she was and she was fuming (inside) but never told me.

We worked together in the same small dealership office once that training was over, me about 4 feet from her most of the day. I'm a parts guy, she's the receptionist/accountant. About 2 months later I asked her out because I had figured out this tall slender attractive young lady with the confident personality actually didn't have a boyfriend! She reluctantly went, vowing it would be a one date.

November 4th 2015 was 30 years after that fateful day where I ticked her off! We've been married since July 87, and very happily married I might add. We still work about 4 feet apart, still at the same dealership although she works about 3 days a week now and I work 4 days a week.

And she's still hot, 30 years later, even after giving me 2 wonderful children!

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

[Squidward]

I met her backstage when I was touring with Metallica.






Actually, she was in high school, and I was just out of college. I had signed up for the Navy that morning. A friend and I were hanging out when two really hot girls drove up. They knew my friend, and he went to the driver's window. That left me to lay down my mojo on the passenger. It worked. 26 years married now.

Turns out my future wife and my friend had dated briefly, and weren't on good terms.

I've joked with the wife that its a good thing my friend didn't go to the passenger window, or else she might've ended up the bridesmaid.

[rexs73gto]

I met my 1st wife when I was in the Navy. I had been out doing a little bit of street racing in my 73, I was stationed on board the USS Savannah AOR-4 in Norfolk VA. I was at the main base not the the air base. I had been out testing the locals to see what was around & on the way back to the ship we a friend of mine Kenny & I pulled into the Burger King which was about a mile outside gate 4. We went in to get something to eat & what ever because we had had a few beers to that night. While standing in line I was looking at what to eat & saw in the back behind the cooks counter, you know the one they use to have when they actually made your burger fresh when you ordered it. She was standing there at the grill getting something from the grill before she came up to the ordering counter. Before she came up I looked over at Kenny & told him I was in Love & was going to marry that girl. He looked at me & said your just drunk & horney. We both laughed but I told him again I was going to marry her. Again he said you don't even know her name , wake up order your food & lets get out of here. She did take our order & I found out her name was Patty & she was single, & we were off. I think I came back just about every day for the next week. I found her on a break about a week later & walked right up to her & started to talk to her, she told me to sit down & I stayed there for about 1/2 hour. She told me to come back after she got off that night if I wanted to. I did & we talked for about 2 hours. We did go out about a week later. We hit it off real good. She wasn't a local girl so she wasn't one of the locals just trying to latch on to a sailor to get out of there, but was getting divorced & living with her sister. She was from Ohio, & me MI. So close there to. After about a month She moved into an apt. by herself & about 1 month after that I moved in to. My ship went out & during that time we talked all the time through the mail. She went back to Ohio to finish her divorce. I took some leave & she knew I was coming up there but wasn't sure when I'd show up for sure. I got to her apt. in Ohio & her roommate let me in as she wasn't home from work yet. I hid in her closet & when she came home the car was in the back where she couldn't see it, & when she opened her closet door to get some clean clothes well there I was ,, she grabbed a hold of me like see would never let go. Now comes the R rated part, while we were in the shower I got down one 1 knee & asked her to marry me ,, yes there in the shower. She said yes & well you can guess what happened after that. We were married for 13 years, before we split. But during the time we were married we had some great times.

My buddy and I were out cruising as every Southern California teenager did in 1966, and we kept passing these two girls always heading in the opposite direction. After several misses I made up my mind that we would catch them. Tried a little too hard and got a ticket for failure to yield on a U-turn. That ticket should have been an omen, but I missed the warning. After finally getting released from ticketing, we pulled into the A&W to console ourselves. Girls were leaving as we pulled in, but this time we caught up with them. That was the beginning of the end of my single life. We've been married 48 years and counting. 5 kids, 8 (going on 9) grand kids, and 1 great grand child.

Mine story is fairly simple. Met and married my supervisor when I worked at the local Psychiatric center.

[The Boss]

It was the day of my daughter's first communion, the party was at my ex's house so my family ended up leaving late afternoon & I left with them. When I got back home my buddy Tommy from next door yelled over asking what I was doing...nothing...he said you're coming with me.

We crashed his friend Roberts Kentucky Derby party - turns out he hadn't been invited either. Sandra was standing out on the deck with Robert's girlfriend Lori, she was single at the time & actually kind of hated men in general due to some bad relationships. Every guy there was hitting on her and she did her best to fend them off. The party broke up around 10 and several of us ended up going to Boston Billiards afterwards, she got in the car with me & we ended up at the bar talking while the others played pool. I asked her if she wanted to grab lunch next week some time - she said sure and wrote her cel & home number on a bar napkin and gave it to me....that was over 10 1/2 years ago.

The napkin is now framed and hangs in my office across from my desk.

I met my first wife on a blind date.. I used to attend a youth club and there was a super hot blonde in the group. Big bazookas - all the guys were hoping for a date. Great mate of mine got there first and asked her out. Damb!!!!!

Turns out she wasn't so sure so she said she wanted to bring a girl friend. So I was invited along to make up the numbers. I was still hoping Jill would be available so I went along for the ride.

But all of a sudden I thought hey, this tag along girl is pretty good herself. 3 years later we were married.

And that was just on 44 years ago. 3 fantastic girls and 4 grandkids we are still happily married. We have worked together for 25 years and I couldn't be without her.

Still introduce her as "my first wife". Still makes her laugh.

And we still have a great relationship with Jill. She married a guy and went to live in the US. Married and divorced 3 times so I have no doubt I got the best deal......

In the summer of 77 i had just graduated HS and found a job working at The Gap in the Mall. On my first day I rode up on my 76 Yamaha 250 Enduro and parked next to a perfect 73 340 Duster. Blue with white buckets and a white top. It looked like it came off the showroom floor the day before.
As the Manager was introducing me to all the employees, we got to the cash register and he introduced me to Patti. She was to be my trainer. Back then The Gap had their registers raised up above the floor a few feet. As she came over to say Hi, I found myself at eye level to 2 of the largest breasts I'd seen in a while (damn cancer took them away a few years ago). I then looked up and saw these 2 huge blue eyes and thought WOW. During the night things went fine, and at closing I offered to follow her to her car. Guess what, she gets into the 340 Duster!!! On my ride home I said to myself, I'm going to marry that girl. It took her 3 months to agree to go on a date with me. I guess I passed the test because on May 10th 1980, we married and have been together, very happy, since then.
