Dan the man

There were so many, early in middle school there were a couple of girls that would chase me around the playground like they wanted to beat me up, the day I stopped running and let them catch me was the first time I felt attracted to girls, they just hugged me and started kissing me and laughing. From there on out I was crushing on almost all the girls I met. I was that guy that thought every girl was hitting on me. I was so naive I didn’t know any better, you had to hit me in the head with a frying pan before I realized a girl liked me. Turns out it’s an endearing quality. I didn’t lose my virginity until my early twenties, so I felt I had a lot of catching up to do which is insane. Kelly was a girl I met in 8th grade, we ended up going to different high schools, but our paths crossed a few years later, she took my virginity, but I never felt I wanted a relationship with her. I actually felt that way about a lot of women, I couldn’t see myself spending my entire life with any of them. Even when I met my first wife I didn’t imagine we would get married and have children, but that’s exactly what we did and after 15 years we crashed and burned. I remained single for 18 years after that with a couple of girlfriends in the mix, a couple I did see a long life with, but alas it just wasn’t in the cards. I was in my mid 50’s when I met my present wife and honestly I wasn’t crushing on her, but I did see spending the rest of my life with her and it has been awesome to say the least we are going into our 8th year of marriage and I have grown to love her in ways I never thought possible. Who knew?
