Ever think back to when you were dating and laugh at the stupid things you said?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I just remember saying it over the phone but I don't remember the context.

you need to bring her to gen Con and we can set it up so you do kill lions for her..least, in a game or something......

Oh right. It'd be funny for you guys but I'd have to go home with her.

Right, funny for us and that is really all that metters. Besides thing of the great story you'll have to tell the grand kids.

Wow, I can't really remember that far back. I'm sure we said our share of really stupid things, but either it wasn't really as bad as all that, or they've mercifully been wiped from our minds.

Grandpa, why did you and Grandma split up. Well, Billy, it all happened at Gencon '06. I remember it like it was yesterday...

Ever wonder how the heck you ever attracted a mate in the first place??

All the bloody time. After two years of hanging out with her and acting enough like SOs that even close friends keeped asking us, "So, you guys finally got together, huh?" I still had a hard time actually making any overtures to her.

Have you ever seen those 1500ml bottles of Malibu rum? Well, after one of those and a two litre of Purple Passion (um... I'm a big guy and have/had an obscene tolerance), I finally had lost enough inhibition to pull her aside and say, "I kinda like you." Frickin' poetry, I'm telling you.

Somehow, though, she's managed to tolerate me for 12 years, though. Proof enough for me that there is a God.

Well I can vouch that it's probably worse than you remember...

My girlfriend recently discovered some printouts of emails she had saved, from when we first met around 7-8 years ago. We were both were horrified by how mushy and silly they were now. It was unbelievable to think we had written them, but we had a good laugh about it.

You know, I have more fun looking back and realizing the number of opportunities I had to date someone because they were interested, but I totally missed the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) flirting they did. It's got to be one of those tricks of fate that we understand the art of flirting better 7 years after we're married than when we were in high school and college.

FWIW - I said a lot of dumb things in French to my wife when we were dating simply because I am horrible with the language but wanted to impress her anyway... I'm so glad chicks dig dorks, otherwise I'd be single and in my parents basement... hey, like a true gamer!

Yes my wife has a file of those e-mails as well- the sappy poetry written late at night, occasionally when drunk. Some of the kind that woiuld have erics grandmother tittering, but
that would fit in other Forums better than here.
Still ten yrs later and she is way 2 days on a buisness trip and Already I miss her.
