alright im done posting after this , hey ive been away for awhile now what can I say?
What is your best success story - either with you or someone you know. I love hearing people's stories of how they met and came to be such a great couple.
I think my all time favorite is my brother and sis in law. My sis in law is 36; brother is 30. and they met when she was 34. She was positive she'd be single or at least non married for the rest of her life. She dealt with it and was just kind of casually dating to take up time in that part of her life. Her parents even thought she may be gay cuz she just gave up for the most part on men.
Anyways, along comes my brother. They met when he was working at the liquor store in a downtime from a corporate job. My sis in law said she'd never date anyone who worked in there or any of her other clients (she insures businesses). But she said she felt something special when she met him. Never really paid much attn to it. My brother saw her name on the list that day for who was coming in. He felt something special and right away said to himself, i dont know who she is but im going to date her. Weird cuz my brother does not believe in any sort of new age theory.
So they start to hang out, gradually becomes friends. Then start to casually date after a few months. Fast forward to about 9 months after they first met, and they are finally in a RS. A year later they get engaged. But neither had any clue until that year passed that they were meant for one another. Neither was the other s type.
They are happily married after a year of marriage, and about to start a family! I just love their story. My sis in law is the one person in my life in a relationship that I know can relate 100% to me being single. She remembers what it was like for that time to be alone and single when everyone else was married.
Why her advice of be patient, it'll happen when you least expect it - carries a lot of weight with me.
Ok I've written several novels, Im signing off.

Thanks SG for sharing the story. It's always nice to hear of how people get together. It does give you hope to hear of others who were also frustrated with the dating process, yet eventually found a life partner.
