Thanks you guys! It will be a good day.

GC haz the smart.

Heh. My dating experience is a bit of an outlier. There are a grand total of three women with whom I ever even went on a second date, and I married two of them.

That sounds like me only with one less marriage. Lots of single dates that didn't work out. Never had a girlfriend until college, though I should have had two in high school. But I was a stupid teenage boy and asked out girls who didn't want to go out with me while being oblivious to the girls who did.

I was like that until my 30s....

College broke me out of it, clean slate and everything. Though I remember being frustrated my freshmen year because it seemed like every. single. girl. had a boyfriend back home.

I still feel embarrassed remembering high school. It's just mind-boggling how clueless I was. It couldn't have been more obvious they wanted to go out with me unless they just kissed me out of the blue. Which happened. Twice.

I'm probably still doing that.

I was once going back to a friends house to watch a PORNO with him and was completely surprised when he planted one on me. I was 21 at the time. Sad sad sad.

I didn't date in high school, and the dates I went on in college weren't dates, so much, as intersecting with guys from the radio station after late shifts or running into them at the cafeteria.

I dated and slept around a fair amount, that is until I found someone as perfect at Kristin, and well, you all know the story from that point.

I dated quite a lot in high school. It was the 60s and honestly it seemed less complicated then. There were these 3 guys that I had sex with on the first date. Once in 1972, again in 1984, then 1988. I married them all. Apparently I am a marrying kind a girl.

It certainly wasn't my practice to wait until I was married, but I can understand it more now. I used to think that you had to live with someone to know them and know if it would work. Now I am convinced that it is more a matter of commitment. Now how it is that you can know in advance if another person will have the same commitment to the marriage as you do, that I don't know. Tricky it is.

So was I...and continued to present.

Well, not so much with the asking out part, these days.

I've never been on a traditional "date." I've been on non-dates, and I've met potential future wives for dinner, which may or may not count.

Otherwise, I just make out on couches. Or a bean bag chair. Or a bed. Or a tree.
