A year ago I met my boyfriend

[MissHoneychurch]

I met him online and on November 20th 2011 we met for the first time in person after chatting and talking on the phone for hours. I am 37 years old and it took me that long to find love. I am so happy with him. I can't imagine my life without him anymore. Next year in July I am going to move in with him.

Tonight he is going to take me out for a fancy dinner.

Here we are (a bit blurry)

[MiddleFingerMom]

1. That is VERY good to hear. Congratulations to you both.

.

That's a GREAT photo of both of you (and I don't find it blurry). You found yourself one handsome dude.
.
.
.
Report on what you had to eat, please.
.
.
.
You just reminded me of a great Fasching night in Germany (for those who don't know, it USED to
be a wild time when many social rules were cast aside -- it has mellowed to a months-long costume
party season ending (like Mardi Gras) on Fat Tuesday (though they don't call it that).
.
My ex was dressed as a Daisy Mae hillbilly girl in Daisy Dukes and pigtails and big freckles drawn on
and several teeth blacked out (normally, she was unbelievably stunning). My buddy and I were
dressed in nothing but bedsheet diapers, me with combat boots and he with cowboy boots (he was
from Oklahoma) and huge pacifiers. My ex had fixed our hair with little baby topknots. This was just
fine in the gasthaus we went to that was having its Fasching party that night.
.
But we got tipsy and in the mood for Italian food and decided to walk to the fine Italian restaurant
about a block away.
.
This is how cool Germany was. The maitre d' didn't blink at all and simply escorted us to our table
and everyone treated us as though we HAD worn the formal clothing that was usually required
there.
.
I miss Nurnberg for so many reasons.

4. Thank you MFM

As said, I am very happy with him ... inside and outside

Regarding Fasching ... depending on where you are, it is still mainly about drinking. I admit I am not a big fan of the Fasching/Fasnet/Karneval time.

20. Hey, MFM

Did you ever have the chance to go around Nurnbergring in a fast car? I've always wanted to do that.

[MiddleFingerMom]

25. No, although a good friend of mine (introduced me to my ex) had his Dodge Daytona 500...

.
.
.
...shipped over from the States. THAT would have been FUN!!!

27. Beautiful Superbird!

I went to high school in the mid-late '70's. A friend of mine had one of these, it was green. One day, after smoking a lot of weed, he decided he didn't like the wing, so he cut it off. I protested, to no avail. What a dumb ass he was.

[Scuba]

2. Looks like he did pretty well too!

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Thanks Scuba

I think he agrees with you if I may say so

[Tobin S.]

3. I'm happy for you, Miss H

You two met a few weeks after my wife and I got married on November 5, 2011. It was the anniversary of our first date, so although we've been married a year we've been together for two years. And we were about the same age as you when we met. I'm 40 and she's 41 now.

I'm so glad you found someone. I remember you having difficulty in finding the right person and I kept thinking to myself that shouldn't be right! You're such a sweet person.

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Hey Tobin

Wow, you are already married a year? I still remember when you posted about meeting Jen and when you posted the wedding pics. I am happy for both of you as well.

Thanks Tobin, I am happy day by day that I met my bf. He is the best that has happened to me.

Regarding why I took so long ... I sometimes joke that I decided to skip the first divorce

[lunatica]

7. What a beautiful couple you make!

You know his leaning his body and head into you is body language for love. It would never happen if he wasn't in love with you. And you're body language shows you certainly are accepting that love. You're leaning back.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Thanks lunatica

for the insight in the body language. I am more than accepting his love. I am returning it.

[lunatica]

11. Yes. You are returning it which I think is

the best way to accept it. It's obviously mutual.

[Callalily]

9. I am just bursting with joy

for the two of you! Wishing you and your beau all the best!

Hmmmm . . . makes me think that there's still hope four me?

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Hey there Callalily

Thank you!!!!

I am romantic enough to say there is always hope.

[zanana1]

12. awwwwwwww......

You look like you're made for each other. I'm so happy for both of you.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Thanks

I like to think so. He is calming me when I get too hectically and I am pushing him when he is getting too lazy. It just fits.

[HopeHoops]

14. Awe. You two look great together! Enjoy the dinner (merlot? - hint)

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Thanks HopeHoops

We had Riesling with the dinner

[HopeHoops]

43. D'OH! I have to pick up merlot today! Forgot.

[Aristus]

15. And a lucky man he is, Miss Honeychurch!

I'm happy for you both!

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Thanks Aristus

[clyrc]

16. Congratulations MissHoneychurch!

I'm thrilled to hear that things are working out for you!

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Hey clyrc

I am very happy with my bf. Best man I ever met. For me at least

[Phentex]

17. I am happy for you!

Still, I wish you were around more. I miss your pictures and reports of your adventures.

Enjoy this fabulous time! I wish you all the best.

[MissHoneychurch]

33. Hey Phentex

I enjoy every day with my bf, believe me

I have to admit, I am around, but mostly lurking.

[driver8]

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Thanks driver8

[handmade34]

Bon Appétit

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Thanks handmade34

[RebelOne]

21. You two are a handsome couple.

So when is the wedding?

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Thanks

No plans for a wedding yet. But we do want to get married. First we move together though and then we will see how it continues.

[In_The_Wind]

22. Congratulations on your anniversary.

Enjoy your dinner.

Hurray! July isn't too far off in the future.

[MissHoneychurch]

37. Thanks Joani

We had a wonderful and very delicious dinner.

And I know July will be here before I know it. It will be the first time that I will live together with a man since I moved out from my parents. So it will be very interesting for me to see how that will work out. I look forward to it though.

[elleng]

23. Great news, MissHoneychurch!

We've been thinking of you.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Thanks elleng

I wanted to share this with my online friends

[progressoid]

24. We're ALL a bit blurry at times!

Congrats!

[MissHoneychurch]

39. Blurry is good in between

Thanks!!!

[MrScorpio]

26. You two look so very happy together

Nothing beats true love

[MissHoneychurch]

40. Thanks MrScorpio

I remember you giving me good advice years ago when I found out that my back then bf cheated on me.

I've come a long way since then.

My now bf is THE man for me. And I love him dearly

[Tuesday Afternoon]

28. so happy for you two

what will you do with your condo?

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Thank you Tuesday

I will rent out my condo. So if you know someone who looks for a place to live in Frankfurt starting next August ....

[Flaxbee]

29. So very happy for you, MissHoneyChurch... though that does explain why the

Lounge doesn't see you as often as we'd like! I miss your daily photos.

Have a lovely dinner tonight, and a happy lifetime together.

[MissHoneychurch]

42. Thanks Flaxbee

Yeah, I am more outside these days than in front of the PC. Seems like I have a life suddenly

But I am not forgetting about you guys

The dinner was fantastic.

[Odin2005]

44. You 2 are a cute couple!

[MissHoneychurch]

46. Thanks Odin

[Bertha Venation]

[MissHoneychurch]

47. Thank you Bertha

I am very happy with him

[Rowdyboy]

48. I met mine when I was 35 and he was 39-he is my first love and living together has only

drawn us closer. 23 1/2 years later and I still adore him. Wishing the very same for you.

[MissHoneychurch]

50. Thanks Rowdyboy

It is good to hear that I am not the only "late bloomer"

[JohnnyLib2]

49. This post made my day!

Happy for you.
Miss the travel reports, too.

[MissHoneychurch]

51. Thanks Johnny

No travel reports these days. Been "only" visiting a friend in the U.S. this year.

[NewJeffCT]

52. Congratulations on your anniversary

best wishes to many more years of happiness together.
