A friend of mine told me to get ready for the evening, we'd be going to a sorority party.
Turns out the average age was in the upper 70s, with about 7 girls in the 20-30 range.
I did notice this one fine lady, but I was too chicken to butt in on a clique and make a fool of myself, so we just decided to get drunk. Alcohol was cheap and we had fun.
Then we went to another club since the "party" was unbearable. By then I was seriously liquored up and had to stop dancing to rap music and sit down. Turns out this fine lady I saw at the "party" decided to change locations with her girlfriends, and down right next to me. I waved a half-concious "hello" and probably muttered something similar. I was feeling pretty sick and decided to remedy this by praying to the porcelain god. Inserted a pack of chewing gum in my mouth and went back and actually started haveing a conversation with this fine lady.
We shared a cab home together. But since I, being all gentleman like, had to get out earlier, nothing serious happened on the first night.
Of course we exchanged phone numbers. So, next day, I decided to call, but got a "the number you have dialed has been disconnected or is no longer in service" message.
DOH. Must have been the booze and I probably jumbled some digits. So I basically tried a few dozen combinations before I gave up and admitted to the misery, that I would never ever see this fine lady again.
But she wasn't one of those types that patiently waits for the guy to call, so she sent me a text message asking me out on a date, basically.
That was in January 1999. We got married in summer last year and our baby is due in september.
