Your Love Story

met my husband 25 years ago at a dance club when line dancing was really in. My friend had a date and I wanted to go out and went out by myself which was not like me at all but I knew some people there so I thought I would be ok. Met a man there that had gown up beside my girlfriend and she knew him and said he was a nice guy. Well he was and we had so much in common. He followed me home and called me the next day and we have been together since. My first husband was just like my neglectful wild self centered parents who never had time for me and it was a nightmare marriage. I guess I married what I grew up with. They were so mean to me about my weight and I was never that big but probably caused a lot of my overeating. This husband is nothing like them, dependable, there for me, supportive. Yep, there is hope so just stay out there and keep looking for a good guy! I am definitely blessed.

Prelude is I was out at a club for my 21st bday (5 years ago). I saw a tall, dark and (sexy) foreign man across the room, I motioned for him to come over with my finger. He came over and the rest is history (minus the split 6 months into the relationship but we were young).
Unfortunately I had to kiss a lot of frogs and I am sure I was a frog for just as many but I am so happy with the man in my life today. I am very forward so I suggest if you see something you like, don't be afraid to go get it, it worked out well for me

I briefly met my husband at a mutual friend's Xmas party. I hag gotten there early and there were handful of people around including him. As I proceeded to look at each of them (purely on a physical basis), I had crossed them off my list of potential guys ("No." "No." " No!!!").

Move forward 2 weeks later. Went alone to a small club that us so called "aging" hipsters used to hang out at. My only intention was to dance the night away when He showed up. He tried to talk to me a bit, asked if I need a drink, then asked me to danced to Madness's "One Step Beyond." I said why not? We ended up dancing all night long and he finally asked me for my number where I told him to ask my friends and totally blew him off even though I did invite him to my New Year's Eve party. The night ended and and he walked me home (I live in the city) 15 minutes away in the freezing cold. I told him he couldn't come up and as gentlemanly as possible, he said he just wanted my number so he could come to my NYE party. I had to smile to that.

Move forward a week later: December 31, 2000. He shows up late to my party and was surprised. I asked my BFF about him and she told me if he didn't like me, he wouldn't have come at all. He stayed until the end of the party where I walked him to his car, when I notice a baby seat in the back of the car. (ACKKKK!!! Kids? Why me? No thanks.) I had to back off a bit but then he explained that the baby seat where his sister's and that they had left behind. Whew!! Kissed him goodnight and said he'd like to call me again. I agreed.

Move forward 2 weeks later: I had changed phone companies in early January (land lines, remember those?) and forgotten the appointment so my phone was dead for over 2 weeks and I wondered why he never called me. I did have a cell phone but apparently I never gave him that number. I finally got the phone working when he eventually called and told me he had tried calling 12 times (I'm thinking "stalker") and had I not picked up that specific time, he knew I wasn't interested or had given him a bogus number. After that, I was knew I was smitten. We've been together for 13 years, married for 10. And he's the nicest, coolest, guy I ever known.

I'm such a geek. I met my hubby at an anime convention

My best friend and I started going to a local but huge anime convention after college, just so we were guaranteed to see each other at least once a year. A few years in, I wanted to also meet other people, since I was well into my work grind and rarely got out otherwise. So we chatted with people in the online forum for the con and made a 21+ meet up for drinks after getting our badges. Only 3 other people showed, and one of them was my future hubby. We hit it off right away, even skipping down the halls together because we were excited about being at the con in general (he was afraid he wouldn't get the time off work). It took us another month before we were able to go on a date, so it was warmer, he had shaved off his winter beard (hubba hubba) and we went and "speed racer". I was hooked. He was too, both of us full of shy nerdy awkwardness. Moved in together by december, and he proposed at the next convention.
We have been married now for almost 4 years and have 2 precious little ladies. Even those 4 years have had ups and downs, mostly due to circumstances beyond our control (he lost his job for a while when the economy crashed, My father became disabled and then died, I had trouble pregnancies) But we were together through it all and I still completely love him and couldn't imagine life without him.

I met my husband at a bar. I heard his voice before ever actually seeing him and thought to myself, "I can beat that". Needless to say, it turned into a karaoke contest in which we both won. He still claims he's better than me. The next day I texted him to invite myself along to whatever he was doing that night. It was our non-date as we like to call it cause we both denied it being a date. We went to the karaoke bar in a bowling alley and watched porn on his phone all night while singing and we've been inseperable ever since. We married 5 weeks into the relationship and couldn't be happier.

As for previous relationships, we don't think about them other than to remind ourselve of why they didn't work out in the first place and how we never want to be "that" again.

I have met my husband in a ditch. I was 16, now 39. Did CPR on him and it was love at first site (for me). Still today, we can't pass a few hours without talking.

I met my husband in college, way back in the day when there were separate dorms for men and women. I was supposed to go to the mens dorm to play cards with some friends and sat down in the lounge to wait for them. The lounge had a grand piano and there was this guy playing and singing to a crowd of interested females. It turned out he also played guitar. Nice looking guy and when he stood up, very tall (a plus for me I'm 5'10"). I waited out all the other girls talking into the wee hours. Then he used the worst pick up line ever,"do you want to come to my apartment and do my dishes?" Yep, he really said that! I thought it was just a line until I did go to his place and saw the piles of dirty dishes! Well I did them and we soon became inseparable. It hasn't always been easy, we've had a couple of rough patches. We have three children and 3 grandchildren.We will celebrate our 33rd anniversary at the end of May.

Are there colleges with coed dorms?!

I had no idea...seriously...the universities in my area all have male/female dorms (and I'm not just talking about the parochial colleges but state U)

Well yeah, they usually separate them by floor the sexes by floor or wings, but even at the very Lutheran school my son attended for year the dorms were co-ed

I met my husband online I was about to just give up because I didnt think I would find a man that had common interest and ready to settle down. we have been inseperable for a few years now and was married Aug 2nd of last year. He is my best friend and I am proud of his accomplishments. He is a retired 20 year Marine. Never married and No children. He focused on his job rather than playing around. He also is a real cowboy from Montana. He is a real man that would never raise his voice. I am always first. we love the beach and pretty much all activities. love movies and we do everything together even the gym 5 times a week. I couldnt ask for a better man. Old Fashion and def. has morals. I love my honey ...

I'm going through a rough split. Sometimes in the aftermath, you lose faith on love, but I don't want to go back there.

Please, tell me your love story

How'd you meet, what was your date like? How many loser douches did you date prior?

Anything you got, spill.

I need to feel some love today!

I love this thread , because so many are so cheezy, I have been with my husband for 30yrs, and It has been a ride , mostly good ,sometimes bumpy but he is still my very best friend and still the one I can't wait to tell my good news to.
stay positive , and my best advise is be yourself always and your beautiful self will attract the right one
