You all have great stories!! My turn...
DH and I live in the same small town. We first met when I was 19 at a bar in town. I found out he went to school with my older sister and brother. (DH is 8 years older than me) The first night we met we ended up going for a drive...well he tried to put the moves on me and I got scared (I'm scared of everything!!)
and I went home. He called and asked out for weeks after that and it never worked out, besides I was worried about the age difference.
Well three years later on Thanksgiving night a friend and I were out and DH & I met up again! This time I was a bit more interested and gave him a ride home. I was interested in where he lived because I put an offer in to buy the same house a year before and didn't get it, he did! I did however, bought the house down the street. I went in to see the remodeling job he had done...I was quite impressed, I stayed until 4am!
He was all I could think of so I called him after waiting and he didn't call me...of course he wouldn't I shot him down 3 years ago. Anyway, we went on a first date and were pretty much inseparable ever since. AND Needless to say, I got the house anyway!
We always joke about that!
