Next time you need to be more specific with your post. You wanted to know people's honest answers as to how they met their spouse. For some people, it was "mushy" "contrived" and "glamourized". Does it really matter? Does it make the moment any less special?

When I was younger, I had to work as a collector for a loan shark, in Philadelphia. Anyway I had these two turtles...and I always thought the pet store clerk was cute, and she happened to be the sister of my friend Pauly. Finally Pauly convinced his shy sister to go out with me.

For our first date, I took her ice skating...well she skated and I ran. And as they say the rest is history.

LOLz...so obviously the above story is not true. But this one is:

I was a hot shot navy pilot, sent to train with the country's elite in San Diego. I fell hard and fast for one of my flight instructors...she tried to resist my charms at first. Anyway, before our first date, I got a little caught up in a Volleyball game...and got to her house late.

I stunk pretty bad, and I was a cocky hot shot...so when I got there I demanded to use the shower....then we ended up having a steamy love scene to "Take my breath away," and the rest is history.

I could tell he was not a player. He was interesting and his answers also reflected intelligence and gentle humor. When asked to tell about his friends he described all different kinds of people in his life .... including the guy who mowed his lawn. He was (is) obviously a class act but totally unpretentious. He referred to books and music I also enjoyed, he didn't act like a silly horny guy and didn't try to flirt in his bio. He was simply interested in communicating who is really was.

thanks! He was also speaking the language of another class act.. I guess it takes one to know one.

We met online.

I messaged him and asked if he was willing to take a chance.

He was.

Correction. It does matter when you call people liars.
It matters a great deal actually.

I did not glamourise anything, there was no mushiness and nothing in my story was contrived, but apparently people are not allowed to tell you the truth as only you are the keeper of this great precious treasure. And you know posters stories much better than they do don't you ?

Apparently I should have lied and told you I met my husband in a bar , at work or online because that apparently is what constitutes "true to life"....

It's really quite sad that you can't accept that some people's lives are a little different than yours.


Had you ever been to Oxford you might have realised that many people's stories as to their first meeting will probably be as "glamourised" as mine. It's that kind of place.

Sorry the truth does not square with you, next time I'll be sure to make something to satisfy your craving for lies.

I have many , many faults but lying is not one of them.


Grow up and learn some manners.

I was carrying a cake across a large room, tripped and fell into his lap, without dropping the cake!

To this day I have never forgotten the gleam in his eyes when I said, "Want some?"
