Yeah...I was never good at dating...in my past relationships, I largely jumped head first into the 'serious relationship' phase after a couple 'dates'.
With my (third -- who is also my current and final) wife, she needed somewhere to stay while splitting from her ex....I was not looking for a serious relationship with her...and I would say she picked me more than the other way round, but it turns out I am now married to best and awesomest friend...so there's hope...
