I was young, free and single!
There was a house where we all used to hang out and play Dungeons and Dragons and stuff like that. Word was going around that a certain couple had definitely split up for good. Two people told me that the female from this couple really REALLY liked me.
Wow, I really REALLY liked her too. We had known each other for a couple of years by now and I knew that she was everything that I could ever want - a gorgeous, intelligent, funny, animal lover.
24 years ago tomorrow...
We were hanging around as usual, watching bad movies and having a few beers. She was there. We chatted a bit. As the evening drew to a close at around 2am, we headed off together. I was doing the gentlemanly thing and making sure she got home OK.
Outside her house we stopped and chatted for a few minutes. Eventually she looked at me and asked me if I wanted to come in for "coffee".
Being the young innocent that I was at the time, I missed the inverted commas. Sorry I don't like coffee.
We parted and I headed home, all goose-bumpy and wondering if I would ever get the courage up to ask her out on a date. Stop laughing!
24 years ago on Friday...
She wasn't so subtle. The rest is history.
This Friday I have the day off, so we are going to get the kids to school and then have a day to ourselves, buying gifts and having a meal together. I can't wait.

Hmmmm. Coffee. Is that what the kids are calling it?
Cute story.

Awww...!
I guess it's a good thing she took matters into her own hands to make you understand! Yes, pun is intended-- teeheehee!
Have a wonderful weekend full of more happy memories!
Here's wishing you many more years of "coffee", hope your weekend is going well!!!
Nonna - No problem! I don't give up that easy!
Um Naief - Yes, you can't go far wrong with an animal lover!
Chris - Well I don't know about the kids - it is the word us oldies used, as I later realised!
TZ - Thanks.
Michele - LOL!
Kiki - Thanks :-) And the weekend was amazing.
Great story, old timer!
Musta been some really good coffee.
Congrats to the both of you for being right for each other for so long. We read too many stories about people who fall in love only to split after a year or two.
agg79 - Amazing coffee that has just got better and better :-) Yes, I sometimes feel like a bit of a dinosaur when I tell people how long we have been together. Recently reconnected with an old friend and he is "currently on wife number 3". Currently?
Wonderful story - thank you for sharing a truly sweet story - I congratulate you both on a healthy relationship!
