How did your parents meet?

How did your parents meet? I think my Dad asked my Mum to dance at a university ball, I seem to recall. What about your folks?

Mya

My father was in prison and asked his cellmate to ask his girlfriend to bring a friend along, who turned out to be my mother.

Romantic, I know.

They lived in the same neighborhood... my mom was older.

She liked his eyes... he liked her tits.

My mom still has the most amazing boobs I have ever seen, great legs too, she can still wear short skirts if she wanted to. She has no cellutite and NO veins @ the age of 65. She's a cutie. nod

A friend of my mom's was dating a guy in the Navy. They set my mom up on a blind date with one of his Navy friends on March 26, 1972.

They were married March 26, 1973 and had me February 2, 1974.

And they are still ridiculously in love today. I mean...touchy feely in love...ALL THE TIME!

OH and yeah, he was younger... one of the very few Rican dudes that was NOT shipped off to Vietnam. So they started humping had my sister and got married.

Me and my sister met my dad again when we were in our mid 20's. He split on us when we were only babies.

My mom was 16, walking home from school. My Dad had just moved up here to NJ from SC- he was 18. He offered her a ride, but she told him she didn't ride with strangers.

Later that week, my mom's best friend told my mom that she met some guys that were new to town and they asked if she had a friend to go skating. My mom agreed, and she got fixed up with Cousin John. Janet had my Dad. He called her out on the strangers thing, and by the end of the night, Mom and Dad were skating together. mushy

He took her to the senior prom, and they've been together ever since. They celebrated their 48th anniversary last month. touched

My Dad put out his hand and said, "Hello im Peter"....then my Mum put out her hand and said, "Oh not u again, fuck off!!"

.

confused I guess whatever happened after that was due to a lot of sympathy.

At the local swimming pool. My dad and his friends struck up a conversation with my mom and her friends. My dad had just returned from the service, after enlisting at the age of 17 to fight in World War II. He was home for a bit before moving to New York to attend NYU on the G.I. Bill. My mom waited back home while he went to college. They exchanged letters for a long time, and after some time at school, my dad mentioned that he was thinking of taking a tour on a tramp steamer and traveling the world a bit. My mom wrote him back and said that sounded lovely and he should definitely do it if he wanted...but she would no longer be dating him if he did. A week later, he was back in their hometown to propose.

A girl who was in nursing school with my mom set her up on a blind date with a guy from the girl's home town -- that guy was my dad. They've been married for 41 years.

The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

My father worked at the post office with my grandfather (my mother's father). He was over at my grandparent's house one day and asked my mother out. My grandparents warned her that he was a goofy bastard and that she shouldn't marry him but she accepted his offer so she could get out of their house (my grandmother was very overprotective of her, and everyone she loves, including me). They were right and my father turned out to be worse than they ever could have imagined. Abusive to me both physically and mentally, extremely racist, and obsessed with a cultlike religion that he thought he was right and everyone that wasn't part of it was "wicked" including my mother and her entire family.

Apparently they met at a Monkeys Parade confused

Definition

  • a teenagers’ promenade, a ritual parade of courting couples or hopeful ‘singles’. This dated term was used particularly before World War II to describe both the location and the practice. The expression continued to be used by older speakers until the 1960s

so there you go, an on mass swingers party... razz

My mum and her boyfriend went to spain for a holiday, the boyfriend brought along his friend. My mum wasn't really INTO her boyfriend so much and spent nights sneaked out on the balcony with my dad instead! They were engaged after 2 weeks.
