[quote=Anonymous]I grew up lmc, OP, raised by a single mom. We didn't have much but we had each other. I was raised on the usual fairy tales, but my mom always told me life is what you make it, and don't let anyone else write your script.

I became sort of successful in my field, you could even say famous. Still, something was missing. I was divorced, and though my mom said marriage was not the measure of a woman's success, blah blah blah, I kept looking for my knight in shining armor.

I had a date with an older guy who had potential, but when I met him -- God, no. You know how that happens, you text back and forth and they seem all witty and polished but when you actually meet them they're like, all warty and gross? It was so depressing I considered skipping the blind date my friends had set me up on afterwards, but I decided after going home and doing a few chores, why not. My phone service ran out at midnight, so I'd have to Uber home before then anyway, which gave me the perfect exit if he turned out to be another toad.

Was I glad I went! Compared to my earlier date, this guy was a real prince. He made me feel like royalty, and we were quickly engaged. I asked a friend if it seemed gold-digger-ish to get engaged so fast, and she said, "If the shoe fits...." (Better believe she didn't get invitated to my wedding!)

The old guy? He spit a lot of poison, but no matter how hard he tried, his long, toxic tongue just couldn't reach us. I heard he sat alone in the bar, watching my wedding on TV with is mouth agape until the waitress said, you'll catch flies that way and he snapped it shut.[/quote]
