She was just out of HS, I was a little older but was very shy and hadn't dated much. We met on a blind date, and I probably should've run away. She had (has) a lot of "quirks" (to be kind) that I thought were a) cute, b) could be fixed, but "at 40 as at 18"

It did give me 2 wonderful children, and I get along okay with her family
