in Chit-Chat
If you are happily married OR happily dating someone where did you meet your spouse/significant other?

Was it love at first sight?

    I was an LMT (Massage Therapist) working out of a Chiropractic Clinic. This young gal was sent to me after having a car accident. Saw her 3 times a week for several months on an Insurance claim. The Chiropractor was my wife, but we were in the midst of a divorce and hadn't told anyone. Right before Christmas the client, Jan, asked what Dr. Chris (the Chiroprator) were doing for the holidays. I told her we we separated and going through a divorce. We started talking and found out that I lived about a mile from her now. She said, "That's right by my house. We should get together for a drink." It took a couple months, but we met for a drink at the end of January. Things went well. I asked her out on a date the next week. On our second date, I proposed. We will celebrate our 20th anniversary this year.

    Thank goodness for FaceBook: it hooks shy nerdy people UP.

    We met during a 6 month course to become personal trainers. The teacher paired us up so he could train me to get hands on experience and we're still together 7 years and 2 kids later. It was lots of lovin at first sight.

    I was at Chili's eating alone & so was he, I am not the type of person that can just be quiet, I even talk in my sleep. So, I started talking to him & we ended up at the same table & have been together ever since :) Married for almost 2 years with a 8mo old little boy :)

    long story, but basically i met him because i worked for his parents :) he was actually my "boss" when we started dating, haha. i soon quit, but since graduating college, i'm back working for his family (although, his dad is my "boss" now - not him!)

    Met him the one time I went into my bank. He was the manager. I went back to work and invited everyone to our wedding. And thankfully, he's no longer in banking :).

    We met in 9th grade (he was 10th) in our high school library. He and his friends were sitting at the table next to me, goofing off. I went over and told him he was the most annoying person I'd ever met, and to please shut up! lol. He says it was love at first sight for him. We were friends for a while, started dating Junior year. Just celebrated our 5th anniversary, and had our 2nd child in March.
    We've been debating getting married legally. We're maried in our hearts and don't see much point in doing the real thing. We may do a commitment ceramony next year when we go on our Carribean Cruise

    We met at a local bar.
    I was there for a friend's birthday, and he was there for another friend's birthday.

    I was seeing someone else at the time, but meeting him opened my eyes and made me realize that there was more out there for me. I ended the relationship I was in and my now husband and I started dating.

    YES it was love at first sight :)

    I met my husband at a Perkin's. I was dating his ex girlfriend and we all got together for dinner. It was love at first site for him. He was my best friend for a year and we both had crazy significant others. We both dropped our crazy significant others and got together. We've been seeing each other since May of 2004, exclusively dating since December 2004, and very happily married for the last 2+ years. We have three beautiful children to show for it as well =)

    Short and sweet... We met in while I was in the 5th (1982) grade. Never dated until 2005 when I got home from Iraq.

    Love at first sight. I was a belly dancer and he was the waiter at a Lebanese restaurant and all he could ask in English is if I wanted more mint tea. To this day I hate mint tea and at the time I kept pouring it into the plant next to my table so he would keep coming over. 32 years later, a 31 year old daughter and a 29 year old son, he's still trying to serve me mint tea and I'm still belly dancing!

    I met my boyfriend of 2+ years at a greyhound bus station of all places! We were both on our way to Phoenix to take flights for spring break from the international airport and it was definitely love at first sight! I saw him and I just thought, I have to talk to him! I was already smitten! We got to talking and we found that we had so much in common! I gave him my number and two weeks later when the university was back in session we had our first date and the rest is history.

    Here, on this site. Shes 12 hours away, and when I went to visit the 2nd time, I proposed and she said yes! She's moving up to Cincinnati with her two girls at the end of the month!

    So its about as close to love at first site as you can get I guess..I loved her before I even saw her!

    These stories are inspiring. I am honestly kind of nervous about online dating.... but I want to be proactive about it.

    I met my wife at an old folk's retirement home. I got a summer job working in maintenance there and she was working in housekeeping. I got one of the nurse's aides to set us up. She became my best friend and then my wife. It'll be 27 years this summer...she's still my best friend!!

    Online.

    And no, it was definitely not love at first sight. It took us many years to truly love one another like we do now. Now, we are best friends.

    at Wal-Mart ..yes really.. I was waiting on a douche who had been harassing me (and driving by my house and stuff) and in walked a short angry good looking dude with a tall good looking guy with the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. He left then came back and I was still waiting on my friend so I smiled at him again hoping he would come over and he did! :heart:

    10 years later he is still my boyfriend ..he doesn't want to get married ever to anyone and we have no children so I think we have leveled it up as high as it can go!

    We met on POF, and chatted for 7 months or so since we were both still playing the "dating game". About 4 months in, we realized there wasn't a day that had gone by that we talked to each other. We let our respective "dates" fizzle out, and we had our first in person date at the casino. We've pretty much been inseperable ever since (and that was 2 years ago)!

    I met my finacee of 3 years (guy in the pic) online. He emailed me and we talked for 3 months. He lived in Alabama while he worked for a construction crew building power plants. Oddly enough his home town was less than 8 miles from where I lived. He came home and we met and it was love at first sight for me. I knew he was it for me.

    I met my wife in college. I noticed her our freshmen year and said to myself, "You're going to marry her one day." Went on about my business for the next couple of years, but every time I'd see her around campus I couldn't get her out of my mind. During our junior year, I found out she had a campus job as a math tutor. I pretended to be bad at math, signed up for tutoring, finagled my way into her being my tutor. and the rest is history. We got married two weeks after graduation and will celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary later this month. Still pretending I'm bad at math after all these years.
