Meeting marriable women

[jdechko]

My advice is to stop looking so hard. These things tend to work better when you're not looking. It's how and when I met my wife.

*Walks up steps of bell tower, determinedly*
*Sets gun case down on floor, carefully*
*Opens gun case, eyeing parts of high powered sniper rifle*
*Assembles rifle, methodically*
*Chambers round*
*Scans crowd in plaza below*
*Reading peoples' lips through the gun sight, finds two friends talking about dating*
*Sees the one with the wedding band say "You can't find love, it just finds you"*
*In an homage to Jackie Kennedy, shoots the married person in the head, splattering their brains onto their friend's lap*

MarkCollette, as someone who has been way too close to a shooting, I find your post tasteless and disgusting.

But keep your eyes open! My wife stalked me for THREE YEARS while I was being a blind fool! She was in the first adult education (Master Gardeners) class I taught and my only student even close to my age (Most were retired folks looking for a new hobby). I broke her heart every time she found out I was dating someone else and I never even knew it. We got married September 3rd.

So why did it take three years? Did she ask you out and you took three years to say yes? Did she not say anything and hope you'd make the first move?

Ouch. My inappropriate sense of humor strikes again...

Sorry about that. I totally understand the single/married thing, I do. I just get a bit sensitive about shootings. I lost a friend to a revenge-minded drug dealer with a shotgun.

So why did it take three years?

It's a long story. She has been a friend since we met, but I guess I wasn't ready for her! My wife is a beautiful person. It took me a while to get past her disability and realize I could marry and accept someone with a disability.
