I started going to school (Soph. high school) early to meet and talk with some friends. One of my friends got this hankering for a senior girl that was there pretty regularly. Later that year on a science club field trip to the big city of Chicago, that same girl got hit on by a stranger. I stepped up and told her I'd protect her back to the bus.
The trip was behind schedule so we didn't get to go to the top of the John Hancock building for the view, so I promised that girl I'd bring her back. About two weeks later at a girl's varsity basketball game I told her my parents wouldn't allow me to drive to Chicago, so I offered to take her to a movie as a consellation prize. Two weeks went by with a few conversations at school, but I was sniffing after some other ladies at the time. I scored some tickets to a concert and asked her. We had a good time, so I asked her to "go with me" a couple weeks later when I took her to a boys basketball game. About 7.5 years later we got married...
