Met my wife at "The Glenn" in Northglenn, we exchanged numbers and started talking a bit. On our third time hanging out, we opted to go for a drive, so we could just talk and get to know each other a bit more, she drove and we took her car. I had zero familiarity with Northern Colorado, as I'm not from the metro area, and was living in Parker most of my time here, but she took us to Estes Park for a bit, to check out the Stanley, and then off we went on the rest of our drive. As we continued on our drive, I started to get the feeling she had no idea where she was going, so of course being the man I am, I hesitantly inquired, and to my surprise she responded calm but cheerful "No, I haven't a clue, but I'm enjoying our talk, so just go with it", I'm thinking to myself "Nice, a woman with an adventurous heart, and she's not completely bored by my company". As we continued I had a clinger in my nose that I couldn't leave alone, so I pretended to look out the passenger window while trying to rid my nostril of the annoying bugger, to my dismay, she caught me, but her next response sealed the deal: Her "Are you picking your nose?", Me: "umm maybe", Her: "Don't be ashamed, pick away". We ended up at the St. Malo Catholic church on HWY 7, where I thought to myself "I'm going to marry this woman here someday". We didn't end up getting married there, but it was at that moment I knew she was the one for me, yup, only 3 times hanging out. We now have 2 handsome young boys, and are happy happy.

About 14 years ago, I flew to England to tour castles along the North coast of Wales. I was visiting Caernarfon Castle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caernarfon_Castle ) and looking at a diorama of what the castle looked like when it was first built. I bumped into this English girl and we started chatting. After a 4 year long-distance relationship, I tricked her into coming to America and marrying me. We've been married for 10 years and have 2 kids.

Met my wonderful wife in the nursing home!! Really! In 79, while a senior in High School, I started working at a nursing home in the nearby village of Gerry, NY (home of the famous Gerry Rodeo!). I met this wonderful young lady who was one of the strongest girls I'd ever met (she grew up on a farm)! While on breaks, she would practice self-defense on me! I really knew she liked me when I was working one evening, sick as a dog with a fever of 104 and when our shift was over around midnight, we'd had about 2 feet of snow fall: and she cleaned my car off completely for me! She was the first and only girl I've ever kissed. We were married in '83. I thank God for her all of the time, she's a precious gift and a true Proverbs 31 woman of God!

Fun fact: my Dad now lives on the campus of the same facility as the Gerry Homes nursing home where my wife & I met...

These are great stories, thanks for asking!

My printer at home broke, so had to go to the high school where my dad taught. He was the golf coach as well and told the cutest blonde on his team who needed some help to ask me if I was free to help her out over the weekend as he was gone. I was the #1 golfer the year before (my senior year) so apparently she knew who I was but I didn’t know her, I just knew she was hot when I was at the golf course practicing.
Of course I obliged to helping her....we set up a couple times to meet at the course and to play/practice.
That night I was supposed to go on a date with my current girlfriend but we had been struggling, and she cancelled on me for the last time. I paid a decent amount of money for really good nuggets tickets, So I called up the golfer girl to see if she wanted to go. Dated all through college, married after she finished college and happily married ever since with 2 awesome boys!

I was dating her best friend when we met. I (and a friend) gave her a ride home one day after school. My buddy was trying to talk her into a date, to which she replied that she didn't want to date anyone with "attachments". (Kids, baby mama drama, etc.) He had a kid. I piped up and said that I was in the clear for all that.
Her- "What about Jessica?"
Me- "All it takes is a phone call"
Her- "Really?"
Me- Makes phone call

That was almost 14 years ago.They are still friends. Jessica ended up dating my roommate for a few years.

1987, working at Elitch Gardens (old one), was on the "Rides" crew.

New girl in the bunch, asked her to sit with me before our shift since nobody else was being friendly with her.

Got to know her as we cleaned up puke together and kicked drunk patrons from the rides in the park.

Offered to take her home many nights so she didn't have to ride the 38 bus at midnight.

She only was in town for summer work to help pay for college, back she went in the fall and eventually dumped me. We met back up in the next spring when she was in town again. Pretty much been together ever since.

Married 26 years, couple of kiddos.
