What do you feel like saying, right now?

CG, your twin is on Netflix.

After a few months of that, in February of 1983, a month before I turned 18, he asked me to be his girlfriend. He took me to my prom. I guess I’m saying, when we first met, it wasn’t like a set up or anything. I was his roommate’s friend. There was no nervousness because there were no expectations. It just grew into that.

We live three hours apart but I do think we’ll see each other again. I don’t know how or when though. Probably the next time I go to my son’s for a weekend. We had a nice text conversation today.

lol
I love this! I remember you said he went to your prom with you. But you’ve added more details on how that all happened. You know what? This is like the one that got away, but then you rekindle everything.

A three hour drive isn’t bad at all. So, initially you were attracted to him, of course. Is he still cute? I mean, does he look like you remember him? Like, did he age well? Ok, so let’s say you just happened to randomly bump into him in Detroit before you had brunch with him, would you have recognized him?

Oh CG, I was so in love with him. My first love, really. I was so heart broken when he broke up with me. When we were long distance, I used to get a $10 roll of quarters (3 hours worth of my pay back then - minimum wage was $3.15 an hour) and go to a pay phone and we'd talk until the quarters ran out. In the summers when we were long distance, we wrote letters every single day. He sent me song lyrics that reminded him of me and he wrote me poetry. I was SO in love with this boy.

Honestly, I think he looks exactly the same- with a little gray hair. I would recognize him anywhere. I kind of wanted to take a selfie of us together and make a collage of the picture I have from prom or from the first Fraternity formal we went to... with some kind of caption about 40 years later. Maybe eventually it will get there.

I feel like 3 hours is a lot in this early phase of reconnecting, but later, it would be no big deal. I'm trying to find reasons to go spend a weekend at my son's house. LOL

Speaking of being in love, I don’t think I’ve ever been in love. In my much younger years, I loved women too much to be committed to just one. Now that I’m pushing 40, all of my relationships have made me want out after it got old. I don’t know what it feels like to be or fall in love.

”After it got old” 😂 — That’s lust, man. You’re never going to get enough until you make the decision to fix it.

Are any of you NPC sorority women also completely over being marketed overpriced “exclusive” wine brands tied to your sorority? It’s just gross. I’d much rather purchase wine I like and donate the difference to our foundation.

Lol somewhat true. But I don’t jump from one chick to the next. I holler, hang out with her, and give her a commitment, but only temporarily. Then I want to be by myself for a while.

I don't think I ever stopped loving this guy. I stopped having contact with him. I remember when he found me on Facebook, I was disappointed he was married. I remember when he got divorced, I was thinking about whether he'd want to see if we had anything between us still. I remember him talking about a girlfriend once, and i felt a pang of "darn". When he mentioned considering reaching out to meet, I was elated. I never stopped caring about him. But, he was the first person I was ever really serious about.

He was already at the restaurant and had sat down before I got to the restaurant. I walked in the door and he stood up. When I got to the table he gave me a huge hug and I melted. Then we sat down and I saw the hands shaking as he was holding the menu. That seemed to get better as we got through brunch.

I've been in love a lot of times. Love doesn't go away. Sometimes you have to walk away from it because the other person isn't recriprocating or is abusive, but it never leaves your heart. I hope you get to experience that some day.

Dee, after reading your post to Phrozen Sands, and this post, I think you’re still in love with him, lol. And then he aged well, too. I really think you two should make plans to see each other as much as you can.

But I just hope Murphy’s Law doesn’t happen and then all of a sudden ATL Guy becomes available, lol. Who would you rather be together with, TKE Guy or ATL Guy? And then what would you do if ATL Guy becomes available and they both are contacting you? Hilarious!

Oh shut up, lol. I do not look like her. I should have never, ever posted that. You get an inch and I swear you go a mile with it. It was like right there as a recommendation as “Because you watched….”

I am going to watch it though. Looks interesting. Have you started watching it?

You just haven’t met the right person, yet. But when you do, it’s the best thing ever. What’s even better than that is when you see that person as your best friend. As much as I love my hubby and as much as I am in love with him, I really, really like him just as much. I like being around him because he’s not only my husband, he’s my best friend. During the summer when he brings my lunches to my job, if I have like 5 minutes before my next patient comes in, I’m like “Stay and talk to me for the next few minutes”, lol. When you get that feeling, you’re not only in love, you’re in like with that person, too. August 24th is our wedding anniversary, and it’s been 11 years — but almost 20 years together. Other than his Trump Bear joke on me, I couldn’t be happier.

Didn't know that San Diego St. was so cut throat.

I don’t see that happening.

I thought you said you love the other dude. In your previous posts, you seem more connected with the other dude compared to the dude you just had brunch with.

I doubt I’ll ever experience that because of how I am.

Lmao! I didn’t say it. Your clients and people you work with back to back, one after the other told you that y’all look alike.

Yeah, I started watching it. I’m on episode 2. You gotta watch it. These are recent interviews of all involved with what happened. Remember Amber Frey? They did an interview with her about her relationship with Scott Peterson. He told her he had never been married Lol.

I couldn’t do that. I’ll admit I’m selfish as hell with my time. If I met someone I could fall in love with like that, I would drive her off, because of how quickly I get tired of being with and seeing the same face every day. I don’t like confrontation either. I avoid arguments and negativity at all costs, which comes with any kind of relationship. What was the Trump joke about? Lol!

Phroze, whatever happened with your friend’s situation — the one you posted about who married that crazy woman?

They BEEN divorced. That’s been a minute. He finally wised up and didn’t come back after she asked for a divorce a fourth and final time. He told me she begged him to come back like she did the previous 3 times she asked him for a divorce, but this last time he didn’t. He got the paperwork this time and gave her what she wanted. He’s like you with phone number changes Lol. After their divorce, he changed his phone number because she was still trying to contact him. When she couldn’t get him through his phone number, she started emailing him. He didn’t reply to any of her emails.
