    :love: LOL Online personal ad...(Yahoo.com) we been married for 10 years and 2 kids together!!!!
  • My bf and i both have brothers that are 8 years older than us. They've been friends since school so we kindof knew eachother.

    We were friends on facebook.

    One day a couple months after i broke up with my ex, i posted a picture. He commented, i replied, there was some banter and he asked me out.

    I have never been happier in my entire life :smooched:

    I met my fiancee at my work.

    Here's the story. He is from San Francisco bay area and I am from south florida. He was spending a week in Florida to look at medical schools cause he was thinking about changing career paths and one day while I was working at a card store (In my home town which is four hours away from my college), he came in and for the past 2 years we have been dating. Although it is long distanced, we will be moving in together once I graduate with my degrees.

    I think its fate. :)

    Ours is the total "First comes love, than comes marriage, than comes the baby carriage" story! :)

    We went to the same school together since first grade, were friends, then best friends, then started dating Jr. year, became a couple end of Sr. year and walked together at graduation, got married and now have 2 beautiful babies, a son who's 2 years and a daughter who's 9 months... we are both 27, and have been together over 9 years now! So lucky to have found my soulmate early in life! :heart:

    We were in 9th grade in high school. Both of us were sitting on the bleachers in gym and he kicked me....lol. Well, I didn't like him, but soon in junior year, we became the best of friends. Now, 8 years later, 3 kids and 4 years of marriage under our belt, we're as happy now as we were back then. :)

    Just when I gave up "looking" he literally walked into my life...

    My roomie Sam and I were headed to a party with this dude that referred to himself as "Cowboy Dave" (already a give-in you should find new friends) and we run into these 2 guys. Ray, from Sam's hometown, and his roommate Kevin. Apparently, Kevin wasn't blind because he realized how incredibly gorgeous I am and pursued me. Since this has never happened before I bit the bait and we've been happy as clams ever since. (together almost 7 yrs, married 3 in 2 weeks)

    Sam and Ray served as our maid of honor and best man at our wedding. :bigsmile:

    LOL!!! This is so awesome! A lot of people can't believe we met this way but it happens! I had seen his toon many times in the AH and he was a paladin tank during BC (when we first met) and I would always bugged him to tank Shattered Halls for me lol! I saw him a couple of times during Vanilla but mostly BC. I played a hunter during BC/Wrath/Vanilla. It wasn't until the end of BC that we started "dating". :P

    Geeks unite!

    We met online...Both looking for just a "friend" to date occasionlly (both just got out of bad relationships-him divorced with 3 children)
    I tried the site for a few months and not really getting anything interesting, so just before I was going to get out, he messaged me.
    He told me he was relocating to a nearby town, ( I didn't want another long distantance relationship) so this was a plus so far!
    So I gave him my personal e-mail (taking a risk I know)
    Long story short, we e-mailed for 2 wks or so, then arranged to meet in a public resturant for a drink...We couldn't stop talking!!!
    Perfect match!!! That was 2 years ago. Getting married in Sept (as soon as the fiance visa is approved that is...He is American and I am Canadian by the way)
  • I met my husband through my boyfriend (at the time). :blushing:
    me too and I'm not ashamed to say it.
    Nice!!

    I'm not ashamed with HOW I met him. I'm ashamed about the 48 hour OVERLAP of the two. (whoops). 10 years and two kids later - still a little ashamed but will NEVER, EVER regret it! :love:

    you know, i agree...
    i met my ex, when i walked into a gig one night, when i was 18, and had been sunbathing all day, and was a nice toasty tan colour.. he was adjusting his base drum, and he looked up to this long expanse of tanned legs, in a mini skirt, and that was it..hooked....shame is, am now nearly 50, and we are no longer a fit for many reasons, very sad, and...am still not married..ahhhh..never mind, che sera-whatever will be!!

    Lots of interesting stories here! A lot of them could be made into some pretty epic movies I think.

    We met online through Yahoo's member directory. I was looking for some computer help and his screenname was "Computer Wizmaster". I was 15 and he was 16. He lived in Philadelphia, PA and I lived in Hamilton, ON which made things difficult. He ended up chaperoning a lower level high school class to Niagara Falls, ON (first and only time that school has done such a trip, and he wasn't a senior at the time, which made it even weirder he was asked to chaperone). Niagara Falls was only an hour away from my home so we met. 10 years later, 4.5 years married (including the first 2 years in which we were still living in seperate countries, waiting for immigration) and going strong! :heart:

    I met my husband in my living room after working a double shift. My children's biological father was supposed to be watching them & my nephews & I came home to a house full of people, my kids still up, & unfed at midnight. The first thing I ever said to him & all those that didn't belong was " get the f... Out of my house " . About a year & half later we got together & have been a couple for the last 14 years. He's 10 years younger than me, the kids think of him as dad ( they don't talk or see their biological one ) , and he's a wonderful papa to our 3 grandsons.

    I met mine salsa dancing. He kept asking me to dance, and I wasn't too interested in him. And when I was leaving, he asked me, "Are you leaving?". I replied, "Yes. It's Thursday and I have to work in the morning." He asked, "Where do you live?" I thought, "Stalker Alert!!!!". And I hesitatantly replied with only the name of the city. He replied, "I live there too!" and proceeded to give me his entire street address and apartment number.

    He turned out to be my downstairs neighbor, but we'd never met before. I married him 1 year later and we still salsa dance together. We are celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary the end of this month. :-)
  • Wow, times have really changed! Only 10ish years ago, meeting online was... barely heard of, let alone accepted!

    ^ I love this! LOL, though I'm single now - I met my last boyfriend on WoW... (he was hardcore into arena, competitive mage rocking 2700+ rating back in WotLK) - and I was an officer of a competitive end-game guild (#3 Akama! wewt! I played a holy priest). He joined my guild to raid and we were the only 2 crack heads online at like 3am, so we farmed BGs til we passed out. Hahaha aww, I kinda miss playing WoW. :blushing:

    I met my boyfriend online 13 years ago. I was in a HORRIBLE relationship at that time and he was the guy I would talk to when my past boyfriend(s) were driving me crazy. He seen me go through a rough part of life and watched me rise above it. When I FINALLY became single we would occasionally talk on the phone. Which led to more talking & texting. Then I realized this was the guy I felt so comfortable being myself around. I didn't feel the need to try and impress him or act a certain way. That's when I made the first move and let him know I was falling in love with him! 2 weeks later, I was on a plane and moved in with him. This was 5 years ago.

    P.S.

    He got me into WOW! LOL. I have quit that game though :laugh:

    We met working at Red Lobster back in the mid-80's. Dated, fell in love and then I broke his heart. He tried so hard to get me to come back to him, but I was too young and wanted to have fun.

    25 years later, a friend of a friend told me he was on Facebook, so I sent a one sentence personal message. From that one line, it opened up our relationship again and 10 months later we got married.

    So never underestimate the power of the internet!

    ETA: Oops. Guess you can use the work d*ckens on here .... :flowerforyou:

    On my 18th birthday, a freshman in college, I walked into a lounge and saw a guy playing on a chess computer. Played a game then and about 30 more over the course of a year. Five years later, we met again, this time in the cafeteria. I had taken two years off to do a church mission and was back for my senior year. He had graduated and was back for a master's program. We were married a year and a half later on February 11, 2006.
