"No homo" immediately after having sex for the first time, we have been together for 8 years now

(We are lesbians this isn't homophobia)

First date with someone who absolutely hated Apple started talking about getting a smart phone (this was around 2010) and how she should probably get an iPhone cause it's better but boy does she hate Apple.

I'm just sitting there, can't believe this moment is happening cause it's the sort of thing you'd see scripted in a movie or tv show. She finishes hating Apple and asks btw what do I do?

"I work for Apple on the iPhone."

She practically choked she was so surprised, laughing, and feeling embarrassed. We ended up dating for a while and remained friends after.

I had met a girl online when I was in college. She knew some friends of mine through an online game we all played. She was going to be in my home town, I decided to come home for the weekend to meet her in person. It also happened to coincide with a Burger King opening in town (small rural town, so it was a big deal) I asked her to go on a date with me to BK. She agreed, and also being from a small town she understood the big deal of the opening.

While we were waiting in line to order one of the guys I went to high school with tried to sell me an 8 ball and a sheet of acid. He got really pushy, so I decided it was time to leave. She was oblivious to the situation and just wanted to order dinner.

We ended up outside of town at a bonfire instead. Never really did get that first date, but I did marry her 5 1/2 years later.

Online dating in 2001? What was that like?

[โ€“] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

2001 was when we got married. We met in 95. I was not looking for a date at the time. I be was playing a text based game, meet someone and we starting chatting. When I asked her on the first date it was mostly a joke as we were going to be in town at the same time.

One time when I worked at a hardware store, I was loading concrete bags for a woman and I asked her, "you wanted eight?" to confirm how many she requested. She asked back, "do I want a date??" Anyway, I was too shy to pretend that I was asking her out, so this comment is only sort of about dating.

So did she get date or eight?

[โ€“] Waveform@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Only eight :|
