I married the first one, over half a life time ago. Some times you just get lucky.

Edit: Before I get uber-up/down-voted into oblivion and challenged because I am not 50, the accurate version of this statement should read "I married the first one, whom I started dating over half a life time ago". Still going strong though :)

Wow.. you're the only person I'm aware of where that actually worked out for the best. Congratulations!

Thanks. I was incredibly lucky, both in meeting her and in how shared challenges helped us build a very strong friendship over the next several years to support what started as an infatuation. I am aware of how rare it is and don't recommend making life changing decisions like marriage based solely on romantic notions of first love.

I'm still with the first person I ever dated, almost 13 years later :) we're not interested in the marriage thing, or we'd probably be married! There's a lot to be said for good communication, shared experiences, and open minds. That probably goes the same for a startup too, haha. :)
