    I met my fiance in a local bar. I was a heavy drinker and was drunk! I was a photographer for a local band and he (being a single, church going guy- never went out) was dragged out of the house kicking and screaming by a mutual friend I went to high school with. He didn't drink at all! I was the outgoing one, he was the quiet one. We met that night.. He contacted me on Facebook the next day and I am now drink free for on-going two years at this time! I don't go out to local bars anymore and I find other things to do with my time such as spend more quality time with my family that I neglected to do so before, work out, and indulge myself in bible study. I became a member of our Wesleyan church and know that God in a way that I never knew Him before. I can honestly say I was never a church "go-er" and KNEW God before my fiance took me to church.. I was nervous the first time I ever stepped foot inside the doors.. Would the judge me? I am a recovering "party girl." Will the roof cave in!? LOL.. You know all the typical feelings you have, their church accepted me FOR me. They understood that a sinner can be redeemed and be loved and come to accept the Lord as an almighty saving God. I'm forever grateful for my fiance, his family, my family, OUR church, and our church family. I've been baptized and saved. I'm now fully devoted to my church and I love sharing my testimony with others. :happy:

    Sorry for the ramble! Hope you enjoyed reading!

    Grade 9 keyboarding class (computers), I looked up at him and smiled out of instinct (its high school, #1 priority is make new friends right so be nice to everyone – that’s not a nerd of course, ha ha kidding!) when he walked in the door late b/c he went to the wrong homeroom. We became casual friends, in grade 11 (5 days before my 16th b-day) he asked me out and we've been together every day since. Celebrating 13 year dating anniversary December 2011 and 2 years of marriage August 2011.

    In an grade school parking lot :) I was a nanny picking up the girls I watched and he was picking up his nephew for his sister. Two days later his sister came and asked me for my number for him. Our first date was 12 years ago yesterday....we have been married for 7 years.

    I met my husband my first day of freshman year of high school. He sat behind me in band and hit my in the back of the head with his trombone slide. We were friends all through high school. A few years after college my mom ran into him at the grocery store in our home town and got his number for me. She told me he looked like he was in need of a good friend to talk to. We started hanging out; a month later we were dating. We have been together for almost 10 years.

    I met my husband at an adult bookstore in Las Vegas

    :bigsmile:

    A beach side bar in Hawaii. When he found out how old I was (18) he wouldn't talk to me the rest of the night. Guess he changed his mind by the end of the evening.

    Let me just start of by sayin I believe it was a true love story because: (and I will make it short as possible)

    I met my future fiance @ work. It was my first job that only lasted for 3 days. After I was fired I never gave up hope of findin him.

    6 months later after bein laid off from my 2nd job I applied thru a different temp agency and started workin again @ the same place I was fired from.

    @ the time he was in a relationship but I was unaware and didn't care I just knew in my heart he was goin to be mine :)

    I started there Sept. 24, 2007 on Oct. 10, 2007 we began dating. I remember it like yesterday.... Tears are startin up. I LOVE HIM SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!

    Anyways Dec. 23, 2007 he asked me to marry him and we've been happily (with the usual fights) engaged every since....

    Although I wont marry him until he repairs his credit........... He got really bad credit and I am buildin good credit... SO I don't wanna ruin my credit :(

    We met on a golf course. :tongue:


    But seeing as the OP mentioned it, the last time I was 170lbs I did get a lot of looks at the grocery store.:blushing: It doesn't suprise me in the least to hear people met there.

    Mine is an odd story.

    I first "met" my boyfriend in a car park. I was meeting up with friends at the time and he happened to be there... nothing happened at that time. The next night I was invited to a party at my friends house, and he was there. He was really drunk, I wasn't. He held my hand, i freaked out a bit.

    He managed to get my number from someone, and he texted me to apologise for his behaviour! We kept exchanging texts, and the we decided to meet up one night and we've been together ever since.

    When we eventually got talking, we found out that we had worked in the same place for around 6 months. He also worked in my local Halfords store and I'd spoken to him on many occasions about my bik (he was the bike specialist) and I'd just never paid attention to him before

    Craigslist! LOL. I had moved to a new city, not knowing a soul (hadn't even met the people I'd be workig with). Everyone was much older than me and I didn't know how to meet people my age. So after a couple months of being bored, I put an ad on Craigslist saying how I was new to town and wanted to meet someone to hang out with and show me around, etc, etc. Well, he was one of the ones that responded and we talked back and forth online for about a month (I honestly didn't think it'd turn into anything). Finally he invited me out with him and his coworkers for dinner. He was working at a coffee shop and was working until lunch time that day, so I said I'd come out and met him there first. That was my way out, so that way if he was creepy I could think of an excuse to not go out to dinner that evening. Well, we started chatting and hit it off right away and now, 4 years later, we're still together!!

    I first met my husband online about 11 years ago. Our first conversation exchange was about how cute I thought he was over 35 y/o and still single and willing to have kids. He replied that even before seeing my pic he knew I was blond :noway: :laugh:
    I wrote back saying the curtain didn't match the carpet and we went from there. He would sometimes correct my English (I'm born in Brazil and Portuguese is my first language)

    It took him 6 month to travel 65 mi (he lived in South Jersey and I in Central Jersey) to meet me the first time. Torrential rains, snow storms that never happened made us postponed the first meeting a couple of times. We scheduled to meet at a diner parking lot and I forgot what car he was supposed to be driving so at one point he was following me in the parking lot, and I, on my first blond moment (in front of him) looking for him like a dumb person :laugh:

    His biggest Brownie points on our first date was a video game for my daughter (12 yrs old ate the time). :blushing: All other guys used to bring me flowers (I really hate flowers for first meetings - so tacky)

    We've been together since then,:love: married since 2002 and he still brings me my cup of coffee in bed every morning.:drinker: In all these years he maybe missed 3 times only.

    I met my husband at a grocery store. We were both baggers and his grandmother asked me if I had met him yet. That led me to introduce myself. Atleast 5 other marriages resulted from other employees at that store. Here we are 13 years later with 2 kids and very happy!

    I met my boyfriend of 4 years at a local restaurant that I'd always go to for dinner and happy hour. Funny thing is....he claims to have always been there for Happy Hour as well, but we never saw each other before. I gave him the run around for about 3 weeks, finally got the courage to invite him back to that restaurant for Happy Hour with friends. I brought my entourage and he brought his, I guess for support in case we didn't like each other (LOL), needless to say we hit it off great!! The following day we spent all day together, he told me "take a chance and be my girlfriend"....I said OK and we we've been together ever since. Who knew after taking a chance on someone that we'd still be going strong! : )

    I met my girlfriend on Chatroulette of all places. She lives in Brazil and I live in America, but we manage to see each other every 2-3 months, and it's the greatest relationship I've ever had by far. I had serious doubts about carrying on a long-distance relationship (especially a REALLY LONG-DISTANCE relationship), but it's been absolutely fantastic. We are visiting San Francisco in May with hopes to be moved there before the end of the year.

    For any of you out there who are still looking for love and think you'll never find it...it really CAN and DOES just jump out at you from out of nowhere when you least expect it. And it's the best feeling in the world. :)

    I met my hubby working retail...He was the new security guard being taken around to meet people...One look at his smile was all I needed to know about him. We started dating by the end of the week and the rest is history...We've been together 14 years in December.

    He was my friends boyfriend. We were all s'pose to go out to a movie and she got grounded & had to stay home. He PAID his brother to stay home and just took me to the movie. I fell head over heals for him when he leaned over to kiss me and almost hit a bridge! (They had a love/hate relationship everyone knew she was cheating on him) The ex moved on to two failed marriages. She was not the "forever" type of girl I guess.

    We've been married 31 years this year. 4 kids, 7 Grandkids and I still get butterflies when I know he's about to walk through the door :)

    Met my wife when I was working as a Licensed Massage Therapist. She was referred to me by a Chiroprator for a Auto Injury. Low back. Rubbed that butt 3 times a week for a year before I worked up the nerve to ask her out.

    I'm currently listening to the radio & they are saying the best place to pickup is the grocery store!

    I actually met my fiance at a grocery store! I was working as a cashier, and he worked at the customer service desk. We worked like that for three summers before he got the nerve to ask me out!

    i met my boyfriend of 2 years and 5 months online. he kept trying to get me to meet him and i would not because i am 15 years older than him. we sent messages online for about a month and i agreed to give him my number only as a friend, we talked for about 2 weeks and i agreed to meet him in person because he was sad and didn't feel like going home after work. he ended up staying at my apartment for 4 days before he finally went home. he jokes now that he was afraid to leave because he thought i would pick up and move while he was gone. he looks much older than he is and i am told i look and act younger than i am so when people see us together they don't generally know how far apart our ages actually are.
