40/50 and because I broke up with my ex girlfriend and moved countries said it could well be serious

[Pogle]

I think living with the same person for > 25 years is a fair indication that I'm in a 'serious' relationship

I knew she was a keeper when she told a funnier joke than me

what was the joke ?

[EternalOptimist]

what was the joke ?

well, I had my car broken into, they nicked a quid and my ipod with all my Morissey and Smiths stuff on it. The police took a statement and fingerprints etc, but nothing came of it

Six months later, broken rear window, glass everywhere. The bastids had done me again.

The missus looks at the damage and says 'looks like they brought your ipod back'

It's about the moment.

Now with one girl it was when we laid in a field (dressed and weeks before nookie took place) and stared at the sky enjoying the beauty, we just smiled at each other. I dated her for a few years.

[SpontaneousOrder]

I dated her for a few years.

Isn't that the opposite of serious?
