My Time

I've never been great with women; I did date and had my moments. But didn't have a relationship that led to marriage. So, at 45 single and doing well career wise, I had basically given up on ever marrying. I had thought of a possible mail order bride but decided against it. So, I settled into my single lifestyle, still dating now and then. Then I was at work and new woman 33 started, she was very good at her job and very confidence in her attitude. So much so I would've thought I had a chance of ever dating her. But as it turned out I was her ideal of the perfect companion. Career minded and not a womanizer, so I was trustworthy and dependable. Her father hadn't held any of those qualities and her mother and her had suffered as a result. The fact that I hadn't made a move on her, and she could tell I wasn't gay. So, it was her who approached me and asked me out for dinner. I accepted and wasn't even thinking it would lead to more than a get to know you type thing. So, I was a bit confused when she wanted another dinner date and then another. Finally sleeping together on our 5th date, my reluctant to make any type of move on her. Reinforced my acceptability to her and I finally asked her out for our seventh date. Now we are married as of 29th October, and we now work together closely and I'm still a bit shell shocked in the change in my life.
