I was first attracted to her when she passed by me and was walking away from me. Know what I mean?
I asked her cousin if she was seeing anyone. Her cousin said no, so I asked her out.
We went to a pub for a few drinks before dinner. We chatted about many things. Turns out she was a Sci-Fi literature fan like me.
I then looked her in the eye and told her I had a question for her. I informed her that her answer would determine how things would proceed between us. She looked nervous so I just spilled it.
I asked her, "Are you a Republican or a Democrat?"
She flashed me a big grin and said, "I'm a registered Republican. You can call my dad right now if you don't believe me."
The rest is, as they say, hist-o-ree.
My first "date"/meeting with my husband. Ages: 16 & 17. (1975) He was wearing a CAP (Civil Air Patrol) hat. Short hair, sweet tan. Mmmmmm. One of the first questions out of his mouth---"Republican or Democrat?"
I was ga-ga over the teenage-military-look. What'd he think I was? LOL
The rest is history. Married 24 years this summer.
