How did you meet your significant other????

beccyleigh

In Thailand, where I was living in between traveling the world. He came to look for work on the island on Koh samui & only planned to stay 2 weeks before heading back up country. We met, I went home for 3 months, he stayed in Samui waiting for me & when I got back it all went from there. Been married 8 years, together nearly 11 & have a son just turned 4.

Typically my style that I had to go to the other side of the world to find a man I could put up with for longer than a few hours (I am v v independent) lucky he is laid back & neither of us is possessive or jealous. not perfect but then neither am I.

We moved to UK in 2004 & have been here most of the time since. We plan to move back to Thailand one day & become farmers on our 50 acre plot. Just need to win the lottery first. :smooched:

I met my wife Via Facebook. I had just gotten out of a string of bad relationships and claimed to be done with all women. Two days later, I got a message saying she was moving back to the area and looking for some friends to hang out with, would I like to be a friend. We started hanging out, watching movies, dating, and that was five years ago. We are now living in Austin, TX, ( where she had moved back from, coming up on our fourth wedding anniversary (Oct.) and have a beautiful girl together. The wonders of social networking.

Ummmm...yeah. We met on Myspace.....

Love you anyway!!!

Pierre lived in France and worked in Geneva, Switzerland and I was living in Switzerland as a nanny. A friend from Oz was over visiting as she used to nanny in Switzerland also and she was staying in the same part of France as Pierre lived. Anyway on a night out I wasnt feeling great so said I was going home and if she wanted a lift back it was now or never. So I took her home and about 2 miles before the border into France there was a motorbike infront of us, suddenly the car in front of it slammed his brakes on and the bike went smashing into the back of it, riders head through back windscreen etc bike flew one way, rider the other. I slammed on my handbrake and jumped out of the car and ran to the rider - Pierre. He didnt speak great English and my french was practically non existant. Anyway I had a clean towel and a bottle of water in the car and he had cut both his legs (one of them really deep) and his chin - he had already removed his helmet tut tut. So I washed out all the wounds to get rid of any dirt and sat with him until the ambulance arrived. I then followed the ambulance and sat in the hospital with him for 6 hours whilst he was stitched up etc. We were friends for ages but we both secretly wanted more. This all happened in August and in the May he went away for a week to see his parents and seeing as we were seeing each other about 2/3 times a week I found myself really missing him so sent him a message saying so and he came back the next day and we both tiptoed around our feelings then kissed at the bus-stop as I left to get home and thats our story It was also printed in a UK magazine which we got paid for and they flew over to Geneva for a photoshoot of where we met

About 18 years ago at a part time job we both did while at Uni. She was going out with somebody else (a real scum bag) at the time so I had to wait a while before she'd broke up with him, got over him and then I made my move. Still loving every minute of it as she is such an amazing person, so pretty and my best friend.

We lived in the same apartment complex, he'd seen me, I hadn't noticed him (yet), he wanted to meet me (his friends told him not to bother -- you know nice girls like that don't go around with guys like you"). He happened to walk by my open doorway and asked for a smoke, we started talking, I told him I just ordered a pizza, he asked if he went and got beer if he could join me, I said OK, he came back with beer.... he spent the night... we got married 6 months later (almost to the day)... that was 25 years and lots and lots of pizza and beer ago!! :-D

We got pregnant when I was 15 yrs old (eeekkk I know) Our daughter is soon to be 16. We then had a son as well! He is 7! We are eachothers best friends! I Think we have been together so long, we have the same brain!

Aww, some of these are super cute.

I met my husband in a parking lot at 3am when I was 18 - he was just getting into his car & I was walking by. I don't know why we started chatting with each other, but we did, and since he didn't seem like a creep I told him that he should join me in going to 7-11 several blocks away where I was going to grab a slurpee. He agreed, and we ended up strolling around together until the sun started coming up, just talking. He didn't murder me and I thought he was pretty funny & cute, so I gave him my phone number. This coming fall we'll have been together 13 years!

We met at a college leadership outing back in 1993. One night of the long weekend, he went for a walk, so I invited myself to go with him. Of course, even before that night as I was waiting with the others by the van, I saw him walk across the campus with a mutal friend. I knew then that was it! We married in 1999, and now have an 8 year old son.

lilac01

I was at my friends place and he was there too. He gave me his number when I was about to leave and we've been dating since then.

MrsMills712

We were co-workers. He trained me when I started my job. I had a crush on him only to find out he was already dating someone. His girlfriend and I became good friends. The girlfriend cheated on him. He turned to me for friendship and support. During this time, he fell for me. Problem was, I had started dating someone else. We became even closer friends. He fell in love with me. He didn't date anyone and watched me stay with this other guy for 3 years, never holding back his feelings from me. It became really hard to be in a relationship with someone while there is someone else telling you everyday that they would make you happier, and they loved you more. I ended up leaving my boyfriend and started dating my husband. We've been together ever since, 7 years now Oh, my hubby's ex is still one of my best friends, and was the maid of honor at our wedding. It was an interesting speech....

VegGrrl

We met at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson, WY. He had a bet with his buddy that he could get the next girl to walk through the door to dance with him. I was that girl. I had just moved to town 2 days before, fresh from NYC. He was a cowboy/hunting guide in town for his day off. I didn't want to dance with him but my mom urged me to since he was so cute (she was there at a real estate convention). We've been married 22 years.

And that hunting guide was vegan before I was! :ohwell:

My husband started out as a creepy myspace stalker! :laugh:

We met while deployed to Iraq. He was redeployed 6 months before I was, but he wrote to me every day the sweetest email love letters. I have been back a year and we are still going strong.

Me and Justin are both police officers. That is where we met. I was working first shift when he was hired, and before you go through the academy, you basically just ride along everyday with other officers as your "work day." We met one day when I was working and he was riding along. We are getting married in 18 days!

GTI_Girl

He is so lucky...I just showed up at the house he was living at one night lol.

my good friend and I were cruising around in her VW Jetta when I noticed a GLi (sporty model of what she drives). So jokingly I said "hey, he has the same car as you...flag him down and talk to him!" and well...She did! I couldn't believe it so i just sat in the car while they chatted outside a gas station. I guess I should mention i was eating a salad from Sonic's and they forgot to give me dressing! so I was *****ing about that..

Anyway, he says to my friend "Wanna come back to my crib? my room mate drives a VW too"
Im thinking "no. no. I know how this is gonna end! we are gonna die!"
Of course my friend said yes! And then He mentions to me "i think we have salad dressing at the house"
So we follow him back to his place. I was expecting his room mate to be like him...but he was the complete opposite in a good way.
His room mate was sitting on the couch watching "the presidents daughter" lol.
We hit it off right away...we even finished each others sentences a couple times that night.

So after hanging out for a little bit, we decide to leave. The greatest part, was that he (the room mate) remembered my name! No one EVER remembers my name!!
This was back at the end of 2004. We met again on New Years eve.
it is now 2011 and we have been together for 6 and half years. Craziest part...this has been my first and only relationship lol.

StevLL

We lived down the road (long rural road) from each other for about 4 years, but never knew each other existed. The wife of the couple who owned the farm I was living on (in my little 5th wheel by the garden) was working out my wife's horses for her. She kept throwing us at each other, but we were both a little too dense to see what she was doing. When we first met my wife thought I was a biker and thought I looked mean and was the largest guy she had seen. (I'm actually the runt of the litter, I am the shortest of the three boys) Our friends kept at it and we ate dinner at their place a few times then went to see a movie. (Legend of Sleepy hollow) My wife was still leary of me and then as we got to know each other and found our similarities we hung out more and more. We met for the first time in mid-1999 when my wife came over to the farm on her horse. We were married in December of 2000 and she is my best friend and keeps me hopping. We have really weird senses of humor which is one of the reasons we get along so well, plus we both love animals very much. I started cooking for her and I think that was the clincher, plus I had just bought the land we live on and adopted a stray dog that had found it's way to her place.

My boyfriend used to work at the same workplace. I noticed that he would follow me around and look whenever I was passing. (I learned the next part after a few months of dating) He used the instant messaging system at work to figure out my name and added me on myspace. He then saw a bulletin that I was attending an event and followed me to it. The rest is history.

One time.... at band camp..... :glasses:

LOL! Seriously though! I met him at one of the band camp practice sessions. We used poker chips to mark each position we move to while learning a new marching performance routine. I was relieving another band member from their position on the field, so when they returned, I went back to the side lines. We pretty much goofed off during practices on the side lines, but as long as we didn't wander off, the director didn't really care. (as long as he felt we were paying attention)

Any way... Returning to the side lines, I discovered that my reserve poker chips had been messed with & one was broken. I looked directly at the 3 boys that were standing there. They all pointed at each other. LOL!! Steve admitted it was him, eventually, and that's when we officially met. Started "dating" 3 months later. We've been a couple for a hair over 15 years (16 this next January). We've been married for 4 of those years (5 next April).

I met my man in 1984 when I was 6 years old! I moved over from Germany to the UK and he lived 3 doors away with his Mum,Dad and 2 other brothers. Both families became great friends. We finally got together properly Jan 2010 and we now have a 6 month old son.
Total soul mates :-)

I met my fiance over a an old Marilyn Manson forum of all places. He is a Muslim. I am a Satanist. I saw The Joker in his signature and fell in love with the cartoon. 5 years later here we are....getting closer to a marriage!

I was kinda seeing a guy who was in the same circle of friends as myself, and had arranged to meet up with him on this particular night. We were sitting in the car deciding what to do, when a whole load of other cars pulled in (our friends). There was a bit of banter from everyone that night and we decided just to hang around with them.

Anyways, in one of the cars was this tall, nice looking guy... I hadn't met him before, but he struck up a conversation with me and was introduced to me as "Walker". He seemed nice and the two of us talked for ages.

The next night there was a party at my friends house. I went along and Walker was there. He was pretty drunk, and I was perfectly sober.... so when he grabbed me by the hand I was taken back. Nothing happened that night...

The following Tuesday I was getting ready to go on a four night camping trip and needed to pick up a few bits and pieces, so I went to my nearest Halfords where, lo and behold, it turned out he was a shift manager! He couldn't get me a price for something, so asked if I'd be about later and he'd find out and tell me when his shift was finished. I met up with him... He didn't have a price for me, but after that night we were inseperable.

We've been together for almost 2 years, and recently got engaged and moved into our own home.

I met my husband 4,5 years ago. He got on to the same bus as me in the morning. I remember checking him out and thinking he was gorgeous....and he was reading! (I'm a total bookworm). He ended up in the seat beside me but because I've got headphones in he couldn't talk to me. When the bus driver slammed on the breaks he used it as an excuse to elbow me and start talking. He ended up walking me to work and asking for my number. Bless him, the sweet man had travelled 20 minutes past his place of work! It started out casual with neither of us looking for a commitment. That quickly changed and we got engaged after 8 months!! We got married on April 23rd 2011.
