    You had to resort to that? WOW! What is this world coming too????
    on Plenty of Fish!

    That's exactly what I was thinking!


    Hey, I found mine on PoF too! lol

    -Believe me, I went in fighting, kicking and screaming, but I had a lot of fun in the end! :)

    I don't think online dating is "resorting" to anything anymore. People are busy working and living their lives - it's an easy way to meet and screen people - a stranger you have initial contact with online is no different than a stranger at a bar, or supermarket, or anywhere= they're still a new mysterious stranger. You'd be surprised who's on there... I went in initially as a joke with my girlfriend, and my husband among others ended up contacting me. Best thing I ever did!!

    My first husband actually introduced me to my DH several years before we were even married. DH was a guest at my first wedding... Then just as first husband and I were splitting up, I started working with DH... He has been there for me all along in the background... I pinch myself every day. Its like living a dream with this darling man. We have known eachother about 12 years, together for 8, married for 6.

    I met her in high school. Didn't ask her out until I graduated. Joined the military and was away for about 10 years. When I came home she was still single. Started dating again and eventually married her. Happy ever since.
    Beautiful!

    We met the day I moved to a small town where I knew nobody, in order to take a job. I went to an AA meeting on my lunch hour, and he was there. 7 months later, I asked him to be my date for my company Christmas party so I wouldn't be the only person there who didn't drink. I call that one our first date, but he didn't think it was because I didn't let him kiss me goodnight. A few weeks later, we finally had our first kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve, on the dance floor of an AA convention. That was almost 3 years ago, and we are getting married in August!

    I worked at a home for mentally disabled persons with my now husbands sister. Her and I got along pretty good. I had a boyfriend and he had a girlfriend and she hated both of them so she tried to get us to dump our so and date each other. Well my sister in law is a little nuts, she has 5 kids all with different men, she abused drugs and she has crazy mood swings. My hubby and I split up with our so's the same week but he was a little hesitant to date me because most of his sister friends are nuts and I was worried about dating him because he was related to her.

    Well she went out of town one weekend and he called me and wanted to know what I was doing that night. I was going to my home town rodeo and I invited him to come. So I had to get ready and I would let him know when I was ready to go. Well I was just about to call him and he called me trying to bail to go fishing! I told him look you got one chance if you bail don't call again. Well he came with, 2 weeks later we moved in together and got married a year after that.

    I would also like to add about a month after we started dating he admitted he never had a fishing thing to go he got really nervous at the last minute and that's why he tried to back out

    We played on the same co-ed sports team when I was 14 or 15. We instantly became great friends and had a lot of common. 10 years later he professed his love for me when he moved away to the UK for law school. We started dating while doing long distance and now it has been 2 years in January. :)

    World of Warcraft. True story.

    THAT is exactly how I met my significant other. Now, try telling that to the border guards every time you go & visit, it never gets any less embarrassing, because they all give you that look & ask you twenty more questions. :)

    A few of my friends and I went out to a ladies night out at the club, this place was called "Hunters" but now it's "Hooters" (yes the restaurant). Well the line to get in was wrapped around the building and we were standing in line and he was right in front of me. I didn't even pay him any attention. Honestly I was not even a little attracted to him, he came off as a prick and I am not attracted to *kitten* holes. I met his cousin, and his cousin and I exchanged numbers. 2 weeks went by, his cousin calls me, we decide to hang out, I met my husband again, this time I was attracted to him, totally different person, had a really funny sense of humor, was a lot of what I was attracted to in his personality, which made his over all appearance a 10. I knew that his cousin and I were not going anywhere especially when he blew in my ear, and right then I was like "This guy's an idiot!". A week went by, he called me (my husband) and asked me to hang out, this time he came and picked me up and met my dad. We've been together ever since. January 13th will be 11 years since we have been together, June 27th will be 9yrs we been married :) I was 19 when we met.
