I clubbed the b*tch over her head just over 8 years ago and drug her back to my place. We've been together ever since.


In reality, I popped into the Arizona AOL chat room for a quick minute to harass one of my friends who was in there. Turns out this girl (my now wife) messaged me out of no where right as I was closing out of the room. So for the hell of it, I stayed and chatted with her and ended up marrying her about 2 years later.

So when did you find out she was this guy

I met my boyfriend (Jeremy1026 to MFP) through an online dating site called Plentyoffish.com while I was in my second year of college. It was a friend of mine who set up the profile for me after one night of a serious whine-fest about being alone.

I talked to some serious weirdo-s on the site, and when I was about to give up, he sent me a message and we started instant messaging each other. At first, he just seemed like someone that would end up being a good friend. After a couple weeks of talking to him all the time, and one long 4 hour phone conversation (which I'd never done before), we decided to meet in person. Since we live in Baltimore and dolphins are my favorite animal, he took me to the National Aquarium. Long story short, we hit it off and a few weeks later, we made it official.

Now we've been together for 3 1/2 years, living together for the past year, and looking to buy a house together next year. Couldn't be happier!

I met him when I was a junior in highschool (may of 1999 ) I was 17and he was 21 we met thru a mutual friend, we dated on and off, and have always been best buds, but have been together as a couple since nov 2006. Were now engaged, but keep setting and putting off dates to get married for various reasons.

We went to HS together but didn't really talk and then one day 6 yrs later we started playing racquetball together at the gym and then started working out together and the rest is history!!

Solly123

Haven't found one yet.. Eekks.. Into my 40's now and haven't even been in a relationship in over 10 yrs. Think I'm at that age where my friends are all married with young families so not much social life going on.

Plus into horses, so spend so much time with them I probably don't have time for a man on the scene!!

Am really shocked at how many people have meet on-line. Am in Ireland and I've only know 1 person who met their other half on line..

Maybe its something I should look into!! (If I find the time....Ha ha)

Great thread though!!!

We went to high school together, but never knew eachother- he was a senior when I was a freshman. Then, I was friends with his younger brother (actually went to his house after prom!) and still never knew him. Then I was out at NIU (a college about a half an hour from my hometown) and met him at a party.
For five years we had gone to the same high school, knew the same people, and I had even been to his house (which is only 2 miles from my own) without meeting. It took a day trip 30 miles away from where we both live for us to meet.
We've been together ever since that night

mrsfloisand

My husband and I met because we were both cheerleaders my freshman year of high school. We dated off and on thru out school and got married in 2007. I love to tell people the fact that he was a male cheerleader, becuase it embarasses him:laugh:

Was in a bad relationship with someone who ignored me for the most part he always had his head in a video game so one day I waited until he went to work sat down to see what was more important then me and met my husband He was at first just my map guy taught me how to play etc he's 5 years younger then myselfand was in college engaged to be married etc.. then it got to a point where i would log on everyday just to see if he was there. Then a few years passed and we became pretty close (long distance friends only) my grandma got sick and the only person I could think about to talk to was him! It was during that time I knew I loved him and actually said it. When i decided to move out and leave the ex my current husband showed up on my doorstep at 1:30 in the morning to help me move he drove all the way from minnesota and he told me he wasn't leaving because he was completely in love with me and wanted to get married. And that my friends was the best moment of my life except for giving birth to my kids

band camp..seriously.

we went to college together. we were both in band. he played tuba and i played percussion. i was on marimba and in one of the formations the tuba line came up to the sidelines right behind me. apparently the first time he saw me it was during this formation. he saw my red hair, looked at the guy next to him and said "she's mine" without even seeing my face or knowing my name. a few weeks later we ended up hanging out and by the end of the night we were dating. we got married last august on our 12 year anniversary.

on a related side-note...my great-grandparents have a similar story. my great-grandfather was walking with a friend, saw a lady in front of them whith long read hair, looked at his friend and said "that's the girl i'm gonna marry." i heard this story and loved it because i finally figured out where my red hair came from and the story of when my great-grandfather 1st saw his wife was so similar to the first time my husband saw me.

My husband and I met on Match.com. I had been on many dates and talked to alot of different guys - none of which turned out well! Finally I came upon Bill. I winked at his profile because I liked what I saw....he was a single father (who had custody of his son), owned his house and worked! I was a single mother. This all impressed me. He winked back and then we moved to chatting and emailing for a while before we talked on the phone. Then all of a sudden he blew me off (around September of 2005) I thought - oh great what did I do to screw it up! Turns out he saw we could get really serious and he said he needed at least one year of being single after his divorce before he developed strong feelings for anyone....a month later I got an email apologizing for blowing me off and explaining everything and said he understood if I didnt want to talk to him again but he left his number in the email just in case.
I called him that night - so excited to find out it was not me who messed things up. We talked for several hours a night and finally decided to meet on January 6th 2006. We had such a great connection and decided to keep things going! We got married in Aug. 2007 and had our little princess on Sept. 15th 2008. We have three children together (his mine and ours) We do have our struggles just like any couple and raising two teenagers and a toddler at the same time is enough - let alone dealing with the dynamics of step children. All in all I am so glad he winked back at me and decided to take me on!

My hubby and I met briefly when his cousin married my best friend. He was the best man and I sang in the wedding. He never even talked to me - that same couple set us up on a blind date a few weeks later, and it was a DISASTER. My sitter backed out, so I had to take my daughter with me to the couple's house for our dinner date - and my daughter (3 at the time) was miserable, threw a kicking screaming fit, didn't like him, didn't want to be there, was an absolute terror - which was not like her at all.

He hardly spoke to me there either - I thought either the couple was pushing him to go out with me or he was mortified by my daughter's behavior - I know I was totally mortified. He never called (gee, I wonder why?) (Turns out here was shy - not ignoring me - I know that now...)

Two years later, that same couple invited me to go camping, not telling me he would be camping too. We started dating that weekend, moved in a month later, and got married almost 2 years later. Now we've been married 7-1/2 years - guess that other couple knew is better than we knew ourselves.....

He was my best friend/fellow partier..never would've dreamed I'd married him..he was such a playa when we use to go out, I wouldn't even fix him up with my friends! LOL Then one night, after many drinks and long talks, we hooked up. Got engaged after a year, got married IN Jamaica, and been married for 12 years! He's still my best friend but the partier in us has definitely chilled, LOL.

My (now) DH was on match.com or something similar talking with my best friend. They knew by this time that they were only going to be friends but still enjoyed chatting. She sent him a pic of herself that I was in. He wrote back and said, "No offense, but who's the hot chick in the picture with you?"

She got us to meet in person at a karaoke bar - I was big into that at the time. When we first met in person both of us were determined NOT to fall head over heels and to take things very slow. He was fresh out of a bad marriage and I was really relationship-wary in general. Still, we talked a lot that night (he claims he "rescued" me from someone else who was hitting on me; I have no memory of the incident!) and exchanged email addresses. Yes, email addresses.

Afterwards, BF asked me what I thought of him. Still wanting to play it cool, I said, "He needs a haircut." The first email I received from DH? "BTW, I'm getting my hair cut this weekend." :blushing:

After a while we moved on to text messaging and pretty much have left it at that - neither one of us are big on talking on the phone. (I do it all day at work; he's just not into it to start with.) We met in January of 2004, he proposed in Feb 2005 (NOT on Valentine's - about a week before) and we married in Sept 2006. I love telling people that I met my husband in a bar, even if it's not completely what they would think. :laugh:

LOL...GREAT POST! I always tell people that Google brought us together...We used to work together and I was talking to someone about my gmail...and he was sitting near me and didnt have a gmail account..so I sent him an invitation...Then, he thanked me and asked to add me to his friends list, etc so we could chat at work, etc..

The rest is history!

My husband worked construction and I had to go through his construction zone each day on my way to/from work. Lucky him, he was holding the stop / slow sign and I would wave when I saw him. Had just broken up w/ my boyfriend a few weeks earlier and was feeling down.

I had this overwhelming feeling that I needed to talk with him. So, against character as I was painfully shy back then (about 14 years ago!) on my way home from work I pulled over, they were just getting ready to leave for the day. Another guy was there and i asked if I could talk to "The guy who usually holds the sign here" LMAO.. so he gets him.... we went out that weekend. Ended up dating on and off for a few years and come October we will be married 10 years!

This is a cute thread I met my now-husband when I started my PhD back in 2005. He was working on his PhD and had been in the lab for 3 years already. Our projects had similar themes so sometimes he helped me out, but even though he was super nice and friendly, it never crossed my mind to date him (kind of like the curse of the "nice guy"). After I'd been in the lab for about a year and a half, we started working on a paper together and hanging out more at work. That led to late nights, grabbing dinners, and getting to know each other a bit more. It was a surprise to both of us when we started dating in May 2007. We got engaged in November 2008, just after he had graduated. We had kept our relationship very quiet at work, since our lab is small (less than 10 people) and we didn't want to create any drama. We married last summer and are about to celebrate our first anniversary!

I was the manager of an adult bookstore in vegas,he was buying porn.

I'm BEYOND jealous of this. It reminds me of the hilarious 'how i met my partner' stories Dan Savage sometimes tells.

We actually met on another social networking site called "My YearBook". I saw his picture on one of their game sections and sent him a message. He replied and we started talking through their mail program. Then it moved to Yahoo messenger, then to texting/talking on the phone.

At the time, he lived over 100 miles away from me (other side of the same state). We spent the first year or so of our relationship driving 200 miles round trip to see one another. Even with the distance, we still managed to see one another almost every day. In over a year, I put something like 28,000 miles on my car! I used to have to change the oil once a month. lol.

In September 2010, he found a job here and moved here.

I met my boyfriend of almost six years when we worked together at McDonald's after high school. And guess what? I'm lovin' it! :P
