    I met my hubby in court. He was the prosecutor in a case where I was a witness. I thought he was arrogant, rude, impatient and down right mean! so I married him, figured he had soo many qualities that I have, it was to good to be true! :laugh:

    lol...online.
    how frightening

    Not frightening at all. I met my beloved on line in a chat room. We talked for months and then decided to meet in person. We dated long distance ( he was in Atlanta and I was in Toronto) for almost 2 years until the Canadian government gave us permission to be together. We have been married for 4 1/2 years and he is truly the love of my life.

    You know... you can get anything on-line these days....even an awesome husband!

    :glasses: I met my current husband at a Company pic nic. He had just broken up with his long time girlfriend who also worked in our building. She qualified as a Cougar, if you know what I mean. Her daughter worked in my department, and my ex-inlaws also worked in the building. To say the least, it was egg-walking time most days of the work week. On our first date, he told me that he had two kids by his previous marriage, but, he didn't have custody of them and he rarely ever saw them. I was to later discover that in fact he lived within 5 minutes of his ex and his kids and the kids dropped in on him all the time and stayed with him every other weekend and a full week during the summer. When I asked him why he told me such a big lie about how close he was to his kids, he told me that he was afraid I wouldn't date him if I even knew he had kids, much less how often he saw them, because I didn't have any kids of my own. He also told me that he wouldn't have asked me out if I DID have kids of my own. Men have a double standard in almost ever thing they do.

    I found a newspaper ad for this Christian Dating and Friendship Service. He lived in Upstate New York and worked out the Wal-mart there. We started writing letters and talked on the phone for every day for 6 months, starting in April of 2002, and then he transfered to the Wal-Mart here and moved here to be with me on September 16, 2002, and we got married on April 5, 2003, we have been together ever since and we have 2 kids, Anna Grace, 31/2 years old and Jacob Quint, 19 months old. We are very happy, and I always want it to be that way!!!!!!!!!:heart::heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    I met her online at a site called Anonidate. It's anonymous as the name suggests, until you give out info of course. You just write a little profile on there.
    It's a site for geeks/gamers and whatnot, and I was really only on there because i was curious about it.
    She messaged me on there during the summer and I talked to her a little on instant messenger but we didn't hit it off until right before we met.

    When we met we were just going to be friends but after a month or so we couldn't hold back our feelings for each other. :) We've been happily together for 9 months now!

    She's also 10 years older than me so my parents weren't too happy with that... :laugh:

    My best friend dragged me to a reunion potluck picnic because she was stalking a guy...
    Hubby-to-be had just driven all the way home across country on Navy leave & his mom dragged him to a reunion potluck picnic she'd organized...
    That was 33 years ago!

    Well techincally we met online..when I was 15 he was about 17 I saw that he had viewed my "subprofile" on AIM and I IMed him and asked who this was...and it began from there..:smooched:

    Come to find out, we are closer than what we thought! My sister had worked with his mom and we saw each other a couple of times when we were younger but I couldn't remember ...I actually thought he was stalking me when he asked .."is your sister...", "is your nephew..." :huh:

    Then our first date was at a basketball game and it was love at first site..:love:

    it was 5 years Jan 10. :bigsmile:

    He can get on my nerves pretty bad.... but I still love him!:heart:
