Well I had been on my own with my son for about eight and half years after leaving my previous Husband, and as a lot of you know I have social phobia so i did not go out much at all, so never had the chance to meet anyone, everyone said i had better start going out or i will never meet anyone,how wrong they all were, i met my present husband Steve two doors down from where i live, my son played at his nephews house, it was funny really i had met him only once and was not that taken, he made a comment about solo parents which i took the wrong way( I now know he has the utmost respect for them) anyhow to cut a long story short, the idea of dating him was put in my head by his sister n law, at first i felt kinda like they were just hitching me up with anyone, but i guess my self conscious started playing on me, and i had been invited out to watch his brother play in a band at the local tavern, i hate pubs and only went because i thought Steve would be there, so i came home got all dollied up and then found out he was babysitting their children, he commented on how nice i looked, so i was disappointed and found out later they were trying to hitch me up with the drummer in the band, Rob was cute but not my type, i came home and then he and the sister n law walked me home two doors down, which kinda annoyed me as i saw this as chance to get to know him, well anyhow two weeks later i plucked up the courage and invited him over for coffee, and really he never left, two weeks later he moved in with me and two months later we married, we have been together now for 15 years.
