<p>Veronica had supreme confidence and was a rich bi##h. Irresistable to most men. Betty was too darn sweet & understanding. No challenge there. I know I have my original Archies in the attic somewhere.</p>

Geesh...How'd I get dragged into this? </p>
<p>I'm 48 and I've been dating hubby exclusively since 1977. Met him at our engineering school where the ratio of men to women was 10 to 1. He was the pick of the litter. Hung out for a while in big groups at school (both hanging onto h.s. significant others,) but eventually we did go on actual dates. First one was at Lasarium at the Hayden Planetarium at NYC's Natural History Museum. (I fell asleep, with my head tilted back, looking at stars & listening to led Zepplin.) Lots of concerts, movies, the usual. When I realized he didn't have a pot to pee in, I happily made do with skating, tennis, and other freebies. I was a cheap date. I remember tramping around junkyards helping him find parts for auto restoration & going to museums with student IDs to save $$$. He did household repairs for my widowed mother, so what's not to like? The engagement ring was modest. Hopefully d will find a keeper like him.</p>
<p>Re: hooking up. I repeatedly make the mistake of using "Let's hook up..." meaning "Let's arrange to meet at the pretzel kiosk," or "Let's meet in the lobby and we'll find seats together." I've received a few startled looks from young men before they realize I'm not a desperate housewife.</p>
