I had to Google him to see what he's doing these days. I found his photo on the website of a local car dealer's repair shop. For a brief moment, I considered it one of life's great ironies, given the discussion we'd had the other day about mechanics and how difficult it is to find a good one. To think. I had my very own personal mechanic once upon a time and I let him slip through my fingers. For shame! Then, I read the title below the photo: "Service Lot Attendant." Whaa? Turns out, he's essentially valet for the service department and sometimes he picks up trash. Not a mechanic. No real skills. I guess I dodged a bullet after all. Uhh... no offense to any Muggers who work as service lot attendants.
My first love turned out to be more of an intense infatuation. Nothing really got off the ground and it's really for the best. Forty five years after the fact, we both have families and we both enjoyed successful careers. Our children attended school together for a number of years and we continue to see each other occasionally on a social basis. Today, we enjoy friendship and mutual respect for each other. It couldn't have worked out better.
I'm still with mine and very very happy ,so can't answer this question really and only did so to kind of annoy you and it's one of my special blonde treats for you, :)
First Crush is now an Evangelical living in Indiana. She married out of University, discovered Jesus and had kids now grand kids. She is still married to her first husband. If I had married her we would be comfortably Suburbanites. I would be bored out of my mind and probably divorced
First Love is doing well. She got married right out of University had two kids and now is a grandmother at 53. Retired after 30 years as a music teacher in a small town. If I had married her we would have been divorced. Note we started dating and other stuff at 15, broke up at 16. We still talk, her husband is a good guy and boring as watching paint dry.
