Would you ever date a Sailor ?

It's not about me. I'm just curious.

I did, for a while, but for some reason our families frowned on it. He was my uncle's stepson. Not my cousin. My uncle married his mother when he was 18. I never met him until he was 22 and I was 17. But the families didn't want cousins dating. Silly, really, because I met him, dated him for a few days, and then I came home to Canada, and he shipped out to somewhere, I don't know where.

complicated !

[@iamronnie: simple actually, it was in 1961. Things were weird. I have no idea what they were worried about. Perhaps they thought he would take my virginity. They were wrong. He was just being nice to me because I was a visitor to their city and knew no one.

@Serenitree: I think he'll come back and contact you. Sea life keeps everyone busy. Let's hope for the best.

@iamronnie: why would he. He wasn't ever interested in me. I was already interested in the man I married. The family was nuts. For all I know he got married and had a dozen kids. Or died in some battle somewhere. My uncle died, his wife remarried and we heard nothing more. If he's alive, he's 77 now. I'm 72, and not interested.

@Serenitree: OMG ! Hope you're happy now.
Good Day Ma'am !

@iamronnie: I am very happy. I have a great family. He probably does too. I dated him for three days. Why does it bother you so much that I'm not hoping for a reunion?
