My mom and dad met when they were in college. It was the late 70's. Mom was a poor lass from the barrios and dad was a spoiled rich brat from the city. Classic story in the sense that most romantic movies almost always have a poor girl/guy meets and falls in love with a rich guy/girl.
How about your parents? How did they meet?

I think my parents met in school...highschool. They may have known each other even longer than that. They were pretty much in the same boat financially wise. It didn;t work out for them. When I was born, I went to be cared for by my father's parents. They both went on to be remarried and have children of their own.

No..I haven't had family for a very long time. When my grandparents passed..that was it for me..I was 10 or 11 when my grandmother passed and 16 almost 17 when my grandfather passed. I was alone then...I did reunite with my mother's mom when I was 29..and had a wonderful relationship with her..she lived 5 years after. She lived very far away and really had no idea what was happening with me all those years. I was very happy to have had her while I did.

Our parents almost has the same story. My Dad was not that rich but just enough to be comfortable. My Mom is also some years older than my Dad. So it was said that my Dad was still wearing shorts playing around or something when he saw Mom at school and she was already in college. Over time, they had the opportunity to meet. Dad pursued Mom and the rest is history.^_^

Your post, inkyuboz, made me smile remembering how my parents met.
My father is a writer and a romantic and a musician. They were local penpals. My father visited my mom's hometown to meet her. On the eve of their wedding, my dad serenaded my mother (he was a tenor) accompanying himself on the piano which he had delivered in my mom's house. That piano now is in the possession of my brother.
Quite romantic, really.

As my mum has remarried several times, I've got several stories to tell:
One was a friend of someone her father worked with.
Another she met at a railway station after her car broke down and he came to her rescue.
And the last she met in a shop.

My dad and mom knew each other by the blind date:) It seems most people were the same at that time. People knew each other by the introduction by their family, friends, colleagues etc. Perhaps at that time there were less social activities. Today it is quite different. It is easy for you to know new friends.
I love China

A river runs through our town and alot of people spend time down by it. My mom used to walk down there and she meant my dad's brother. SHe had sort of a crush on him until she meant my dad. They used to have alot of fun down there. Only a couple blocks away.
