It is a bit of a random question but i love knowing how other people met and how they ended up together. It also brings back a smile to some peoples faces reminiscing how they first met their partners :)

I am probably asking you guys on here now as I am feeling warm and fuzzy as a young man asked me at the weekend to be his girl with a bunch of red roses, my favourite colour and the first flowers i have ever been given by a man :)

P.S we met on a dating site!

    I've known him since I was 13 (he used to come over my house with my brother and I always had a major crush on him). We re-connected on facebook and have been together every since :)

    We met in a dart bar. I was chalking (e.g., keeping score on the chalkboard up next to the dart board) and he bounced a dart out of the trip-twenty that hit me in the lip.

    "Oh, I'm so sorry-- can I kiss it and make it feel better?" were among the first words he spoke to me.

    We've been married 27 years.

    I met ex SO as he was picking up cans on the side of the road and I watched with pity in my eyes.

    I met my husband at a New Year's Eve party. I went with a friend and her husband. He asked me out for the following weekend. Three months later we were married. That was 35 years ago this New Year's Eve. <3

    It's really ironic considering my current weight, but we met at the gym! :laugh:

    Ahh love these stories so far. Me and my guy kind of met at work. I worked on the boats on the Thames and he worked at Westminster pier. We always said hello in passing. I added him on fb (shh) then we got chatting. He asked me out on a date for the Saturday BUT I got fired on the Thursday. Sad times. So he came round with 2 bottles of wine to cheer me up and didnt leave for 4 days!!! Although we still went on our date on Saturday.

    Nearly 3 years and 1 baby later we're still going strong. Had some serious rough patches but we worked through it and I love him! He's leaving in January to go into basic training for the Royal Marines and I'll only see him twice next year which will be hard but I'm so proud of him for following his dream. Now let's see if I can lose the rest of this flub so when he comes home in April there'll be a big change!!!

    We went to the same high school and lived in the same town, but he was a few years older than me, so we never noticed each other. One year my cousin brought him along on our family vacation to North Carolina. I had a boyfriend at the time, but I couldn't keep my eyes off of my cousins best friend. When I got home I dumped my boyfriend and started hanging out with my cousin and his friends.... needless to say his friend noticed me too. Seven years later... we have been married for five years and have three beautiful children. :heart:

    I met my husband when he was 19, he is 31 now, & I am 36. We met through a mutual friend, when I was still w/ my ex. I had just had my daughter & was the smallest I had ever been, & I thought he was cute. Our paths crossed over the years & we started dating in the fall of 2003, a few months after I had split from my ex. We have been married since Sept. 2007 & I am still head over heels in love w/ my husband!!!! Now just got to get the body back I had when we first met, LOL!!! :love:

    She hated me.
    I was this thuggish rogue who lived life totally on his own terms.
    And she was a straight A, goodie-two-shoe, shy girl who barely made a peep in class.

    This was 7th grade. I was expelled and sent to Juvenile Prison and life went on. We met up at a party - just teens, and I went right at her like no guy had ever done - nobody DARED!
    It must be true; good girls like bad boys.

    She was dating a male version on herself - a regular Clark Kent less the superman costume...lol
    I stole her away in a day, and after a hot and heavy 3 months, proposed marriage at age 16.

    That was 31 years ago. We have 5 kids, a wonderful life.

    Somebody "up there" must like me...

    I love these stories!! :)

    I met my boyfriend online right as I was about to give up! This was after a long string of really awful guys!

    We had our first date at the zoo (my favorite place) and we've been together over a year now! :)

    Meet my wife at work. I used to be a waiter/bartender. I moved from a private golf club to work at a local restaurant. She was a waitress who already worked at the restaurant.

    It took me a few months to get to know her and another few months after that to get up the courage to ask her out!

    It worked out okay though. Last Nov 10th was our 21st wedding anniversary!

    I met my husband online too,

    I had told my mom that I was tired of dating the same type of guys, that I needed to find a new group of people to hang out with so that it would be possible (tired of the party life all the time). Well she was constantly calling me at work telling me about all these guys that had posted profiles and I was like yeah right, I'm not doing the online dating thing, not a chance. So she set me up a profile, and then I went in and changed it all around.

    My best friend was looking at it when I got a message from my now husband, my best friend (who is male) helped me answer all the questions, so essentially my husband started hitting on my bestie, lol.

    That night we talked on line for hours, then on the phone for hours. He fit my description of perfect. I wanted a cowboyish, with jeans and boots, and a baseball cap, no belt buckle or cowboy hat, and he had to have custody of his own kids, a good job and good head.

    When we finally met, he was so nervous he was shaking, I thought that was pretty cute, but then he gained quite a bit of confidence during the date, which made him hot.

    Our second anniversary is on the 1st of January!
