Just curious. I'm a serial monogamist and not rushing down the aisle. I met my boyfriend (I'm a lady!) at 21. We've been dating for almost three years.

Also, if you're married, how old were you when you attached yourself to your ball and chain?



Met at 26. Married at 28. She wanted to live in Boone (NC), so I moved to the town next to Boone . . . Ames. She doesn't think that joke is funny. Still going strong after 21 years.

Met when I was 21 and he was 20. - We were both dating other people, but met through summer work on campus. I had worked there longer, so I had seniority - this set the stage for a great relationship.
:pwink:
Started dating when I was 22.

Married when I was 25.

Just short of 17 years later, still happily married.

Known each other pretty much whole lives. Started dating in my mid-twenties, her early twenties. Married when I was 32, first kid 9 months later. 2nd kid two years after that. Oddly enough, 11th anniversary today.
