College sweethearts
I
smile at my two lovely daughters and they seem so
much more mature than we,
their parents, when
we were college sweethearts. Linda, who's 21, had
a boyfriend in
her freshman year she thought
she would marry, but they're not together anymore.
Melissa, who's 19, hasn't had a steady
boyfriend yet. My daughters wonder when they
will meet
tale romance heading for
marriage from the outset. Perhaps, they're right
but it didn't
seem so at the time. In a way,
love just happens when you least expect it. Who
would
have thought that Butch and I would end
up getting married to each other? He became
my
boyfriend because of my shallow agenda: I wanted a
cute boyfriend!
We met through my college
roommate at the university cafeteria. That fateful
night, I was merely curious, but for him I
think it was love at first sight.

although he was very cute, he seemed a little

Riding on his bicycle, he'd ride

College is supposed to be a time of great
learning and also some fun. I had nearly
achieved a great education, and graduation was
just one semester away. But I hadn't
had any
fun; my life was stale with no component of fun! I
needed a
just any boyfriend. He had to be
cute. My goal that semester became: Be ambitious
and grab the cutest boyfriend I can find.
I worried what he'd think of me. True, we lived in
a time when a dramatic shift in
sexual
attitudes was taking place, but I was a
traditional girl who wasn't ready for the

ways that seemed common on campus. Butch looked
superb! I was not immune

the world that I
was his girlfriend, I went
along with him. And then I suddenly thought:
Am I his girlfriend? How did that

friends who
