Many years ago, (back when university dorms were segregated and you had to be out by 10 PM), a friend of mine, (who I will refer to as P) confessed one evening, upon my questioning of her down mood, to not having much luck with this guy she was trying to get together with. In the fashion of true friendship, I made some suggestions about hanging around their mutual friends, etc. and was mildly curious about who the guy was, but never noticed her taking up with someone.
A year later my girlfriend and I were yaking with another friend about people and where they had gone and I asked whether P had hooked up with the guy she had been mooning over the previous year. Our friend snorted and laughed, "You idiot. It was you!"
The girlfriend, (now my wife of over 30 years) was greatly pissed with P, as we had been together before that and she knew it. On the other hand, she refers to me as a 2x4 kind of guy, 'cause that's what it takes to get my attention. She was reading this thread over this morning and said I fit right in.
