DH and I went to elementary school together, but he was a grade ahead of me and had a different teacher, so we never really talked until junior high school. He was quiet and shy, but always made a point to tease me on the bus! ;-)
In 9th grade, he was still shy, but one of his buddies made a bet with him over which one of them could get me as a girlfriend. DH turned the charm on, and within an hour, I was hooked! LOL! I didn't find out about the bet until several years later!
My parents wouldn't allow me to date until I was 16, but until then, DH and I went to school activities and church stuff together. We dated all through college, and got married 3 weeks after I graduated.
Married 22-1/2 years; been together for 28+ years. Still on our honeymoon! :mrgreen:
I guess it's safe to say that DH won the bet! :lol:
(And he's not shy anymore, either. Now he's the type that's "never met a stranger"! :) )
