Yeah. It’s lasted over 40 years.
Yes and we’re married and have been together 20 years. I love her so much.
Sure I will bite. I am pretty goofy and nerdy, and somehow caught the attention of a stereotypical goth girl. She was the kindest, gentelist, most caring person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Nope. Always fails. And I married the polar opposite of me. Just didn’t know how bad.
I’m in that relationship right now. He randomly sent me an add request on Snap.
He’s a total sweet summer child and I’m… not. lol. He’s one of the kindest and sweetest men I’ve ever met.
Six months in and very happy.
I’ve always had a thing for tall women.
Anyways my wife is 5’1″ and she is the best and hottest woman I know!
I had an experience like that. One of my best ex’s wasn’t really my type.
Of course, we ended up being completely incompatible, but we had fun for a year.
A weird bit of advice I picked up. That has rung very true, in our household. “Don’t marry someone who likes the same things as you, there’s lots to learn by being with someone who likes different stuff. Marry someone who hates the same things as you. It’s unifying.” It has worked well for us. We are almost polar opposites in interests and abilities, but our shared dislikes are all baseline deal breakers for both of us.
Yep! And we’re getting married in a few months 🙂 I remember the moment he came up to me and said hi I had this weird feeling in the back of my mind that said, “I have never met anyone like you before and this is special.” Guess my gut was spot on!
Yes, that’s pretty much how all my relationships started. I can gladly say every woman I have dated filled a need. You can say what you want all date but when you find what you need you have found real treasure.
No
I’m an atheist and don’t accept any bullshit and my girlfriend is christian. It’s been 5 years now and it’s going great. But we made things clear from the start. She or her friends ate not allowed to try to convert me AT ALL. She can talk about jesus, but i can teach her evolution.
Yes. I used to date and get in relationships with women that were alternative/goth/metalhead, with the longest past relationship lasting 3 years.
But after my last breakup, that became quite public because my ex decided she wanted it to be, a women on a message board both me and my last ex frequented messaged me and asked me out for a coffee.
I had never met her before, and I saw from photos she had shared that she were petite and blond, and had a very different style than any of my past girlfriends. In short, she had a style that i used to think of as very «boring». In either case, I decided to go out with her, and I have now been with her for almost 13 years, and married to her for 11.
She turned out to be the nicest person with the most beautifull personality of anyone I have ever been romantically involved with. And she is very good looking as well, although in a different way from my ex girlfriends.
