I was a young (21 years old), brand new Second Lieutenant in the Air Force, fresh out of the Air Force Academy. Drove a white, convertible '72 Vette. I was in pilot training in Lubbock, Texas. My roommate was a bud from the Academy; drove a white '76 T-top Vette. We were deadly. :)
We went to a local place one night......very nice, classy restaurant/disco (this was 1977). He and I were sitting together in the 'bar' section, just talking. Next to us was a larger table full of people.......men and women........laughing, talking, having a good time. We decided to walk over and introduce ourselves. I wound up standing next to this girl......very short blonde hair, but very cute. Turned out they were all air traffic controllers from our base. She and I talked a long while.....then she stood up.
Towered over me........6' in her bare feet; I'm 5' 8".
Everyone giggled......but I was smitten. Apparently, she was as well.
We all decided to move the 'party' to my buddy and my's apartment. The only one of the group that took me up on it was this long, tall drink of water.......
She and I sat up all night long talking. Just........talking. Literally all night. Just talking, getting to know each other.
We were never apart after that night; married 6 months later. Our 29th anniversary is next month.
Wow,I felt like I was there,thanks for the story RightOnline.
I've actually talked to or met a few guys who either actively preferred us big ladies or who refused to date petite women. Without exception, the guys I have met like this are themselves shorter than 6 feet.
The universe is strange. My significant other is 5'5". :)
Happy almost 29th anniversary, RightOnline.
Awww, you guys are too cute - I wondered if I'd find you on here. ;)
