[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Met at church at age 14.
Started dating last year if high school, after we knew we realized we were going to the same university.
Got married the month after college graduation. 1996[/quote]

You would only date in high school because you were going to same college? Huh? [/quote]

I worded that strangely, but essentially we had been friends a long time and there had been a slow-building attraction and flirtation that started near the middle of our senior year of high school. We were such good friends that it felt risky to *date* each other if it was only going to be for a couple of months. Maybe we would have anyway—-who knows! The tension was certainly palpable enough (To be fair—we are old so this is pre cell phone, pre-email—-and a long-distance relationships going into college seemed almost certainly-destined to fail!) But once we realized that we were both heading to the same university, it felt like the door was open for this to potentially develop into something that would last longer than having a date to prom and a summer fling.
Could have gone south either way, obviously. But as it was, I’m not sure either of us would have wanted to “risk the friendship” for a two-month fling that had a slim chance of lasting.[/quote]
