I am trying to get ahold of Altenweg, could any of you help me out, I really need her help.

I was 21 and it was 6 months before I was to get married. I was with a friend who was also to marry my sister. We were on a highway and like you we had to stop just over a hill as a tractor trailer was pulling onto the road. I was just over the hump in the road. I had a bad feeling, and as I looked back out the back window... there he came at about 60 mpr. I had my arm inside the steering wheel and was pushed through the windshield and flung back over the seat (no head rests then). My scap was bleeding like a sive. My arm was pulled out of the shoulder socket and the muscles from my shoulder blade were ripped in two. My car was shoved up over the back of the car in front of me and rolled over three times down over a hill, no seat belts either.

I spent 2 weeks in the hospital and had my arm taped to my chest for 3 months. Jim, the guy with me was all bloody with two breaks in his arm and a broken leg and foot. He spent 2 1/2 weeks in the hospital and had neck traction 6 times.

Had a lousy attorney, didn't even get enough to pay all the bills... but he got his!

Kind of puts my crash into perspective, all those injuries.

Just amazing your alive, no offence,
But someone must have been keeping an eye on you after that :)

I don't have any idea what to do, she came to me and asked me if I would like to do anything with her later on, I didn't have enough time time to reply because we had to go back to class.

Can you talk to her after class?

Just remember that she's just as nervous as you. It took a lot of guts for her to approach you. She's not an alien, she's just a girl. We really aren't that different from guys. ;)

Tell her you'd love to hang out. Maybe go for a bite to eat, or a movie, or just a place that other kids your age hang out.

Just remember one thing. Girls don't like guys that play games, but they also don't like guys that come on too strong. Don't be desperate, just be her friend for now and see where it leads.

Above all, have fun! That's an order. ;)

But I'm worried she's coming on to strong, she suggested that I go over to her house and meat her parents.

What's funny bear is that this happened 6 months before my first marriage. 6 months before my marriage to Marta I fell from an 8 foot ladder to the concrete floor of my garage. I smashed 2 vertebrates in my neck, I almost didn't make it. The surgeon gave me a 50 / 50 chance to survive and he said that if I did I would be paralyzed. He worked a miracle, in that all I have is some pain in the right side of my neck and a slight numbness in my right hand.

Wow, I have two vertebrates from a dead man in my neck... (I hear voices... 'what?' hee hee).

Although this might be a warning so to speak, two accidents 6 months before each wedding but this time it was a blessing... so to speak... getting my lovely Marta.

Yes, that was it. She won't let me up on a ladder without her there... guess she loves me. :)

No doubts there, she's going to be there to catch you if you ever fall :)

She's probably not allowed to date unless her parents meet you first. I know that was the rule in my house. It means her parents love her and she respects them and their wishes.

So, if you want to date her, you'll have to meet the parents. Put on a nice outfit, be respectful, and don't worry about it too much. Parents were kids once too. ;)

It's because you're a klutz Stringy. ;)

And she loves you. :)

I am just really nervous, I don't want to do anything to offend her parents, or worse, her. Should I get somekind of gifts to them?

2/10, :( you have to try harder next time stringer

Just be yourself. Let them know that you're a nice guy, that you'll respect their wishes and will have their daughter back at a reasonable hour. Let them know where you're taking her. If you have a cell phone then give them the number so they can check up on her. Also ask for their number so you can call them in case something happens.

As for a gift. No. That's not necessary. You're just taking their daughter out on a date. Just dress nice, make sure you're showered, clean, hair brushed, matching socks on, shoes polished. But most important, be yourself.

Okay?

If he does a backflip Marta might leave, or die of a heart attack.

No back flip.

Feet firmly planted on the ground!

That's an order!

Marta, I'm on your side. :)

Everything that Alty said to you is gold... take her advice...

As a parent and someone who actually started dating too soon I would say that being polite and courteous are very important.

Be very respectful, even saying 'sir or ma'am' when addressing he parents. When they enter the room, stand up, it shows respect... but don't forget to sit back down.

Be aware of your cleanliness and don't use too much after shave or cologne. Get a haircut before you meet them and even polish your shoes... yes.

When they speak to you listen carefully and pay attention. Answer clearly and don't mumble. And make sure that you are looking at them when you speak to them.

They may ask you some questions; 'how are you?' 'Where do you live?' 'how did you meet my daughter?' 'Where are you two going tonight?' Etc...

Be prepared to answer these questions. And a hint, ask her a little bit about her parents first before you visit. This will help.

First impressions are important... but relax... do the above but you can relax by telling yourself that it really won't be that bad at all.

Stringer

Im not going to be able to take her anyware, my method of transportation scares them, so I am going to be having dinner with them.

Yes... got it. She would die from a heart attack Bear. It would be me taking her to the hospital... and besides... I promised not to go up again without her or my son there... gotta keep our promises.

Terrific... no expense on your part hee hee... kidding Tib... kidding.

The talk to her about the things that interest her parents. Talk to both of them too not just one... Try to keep the conversation going, silence may make you somewhat nervous. Ask them questions... about what they like to do for a hobby/s, where does he/she work? What do they do there? etc.

Actually I wish I still could, but I was told that I should be careful, even a fall on the ice could do me in... :rolleyes:
