I thought no one would date me either. Freshman year saw me wearing turtlenecks and my mom’s calf-length skirts lest anyone see me. Braces, glasses, bad skin and too much weight. Oh, and I lettered in Academic League. -shrugs- My current FB pic is what I looked like at the end of soph year, but I credit DH with a lot of that. Nothing like a little appreciation… paired with a little insane frustration when the appreciation disappeared ’cause he was too busy dealing with a dying parent that he didn’t mention to anyone else. HS was such a soap opera. Looking back, I am aghast.

Hey dude, it’s your combox, not sure how it can be TMI. 😀 And I always want to know everything about everybody, preferably with footnotes and backstory.

And no one would date me at HS or at College. I was a nerd nerds avoided.

Hope that is not TMI.

Well, my daughter married at 21, and so far they have had to deal with the death of his godfather and serious illnesses.

I got married at 28. I’m hoping that sons one and two finds someone before they graduate, (Son one is doing pharmacy: son two is still in HS and I mean when he has a trade) and they build a life together.

Just saw this… I married at 22 to my HS sweetie too. What else do you need to know? At that point, our relationship had gone through his dad’s death, my grandma’s death, we’d done the long-distance relationship thing for a couple of years, and the sitting in each others’ pockets thing for a couple of years.

Yeah, the first few years were bumpy. But our lives are so much nicer for having spent those years together with someone at our back… I have eyes to look around at my friends who waited to marry, thanks. I’m the one with the prize. If I have regrets, they’re in not getting married even younger.
