    I met my boyfriend through a sorority sister in Oct 2010. She had a birthday/tailgate party for our college's football team and she invited him--they knew each other through work. I was in a relationship with someone at the time and left the party early to go meet up with my boyfriend of the time. After the event, he found me through Facebook and would try to make small talk with me. After my ex and I broke up, I started dating my now boyfriend...but a month later wanted to work things out with my ex...and then broke up with him again...and started dating my now boyfriend again... Complicated start--FOR SURE, but we've been together for over a year and are planning on moving in together in January. He's definitely the love of my life and I can't wait for the day when he gets down on one knee and asks me to become his wife!

    We met on ICQ 15 years ago, married for 10 years this September. I barely spoke her language, english, when I met her and her entire family on our first meeting. I drove up 8 hours to spend Thanksgiving with her. Been together ever since. We now have 3 girls.

    First time we "met" we were both 15, both miles away from our respective schools at a competition. He was in the audience for my performance, I was in the audience for his. Of course, we didn't know this until years later.

    Second time, I was 16, he was 17, I was at a party with my first boyfriend, and I was sitting on the floor, chatting to this blonde guy, wearing a lot of black, about how weird his name was.

    2 years later, we met again, and we started seeing each other all the time.

    Then one day, about a year in, I was talking about this competition I'd done in Macroom. "Hey" he said "I was there! I saw the singing!" Flabbergasted, we were, to find we'd been in the same concert hall, hundreds of miles from home, years before.

    Another day, we were walking along, and as we passed the door of the house where we had attended the party years before, we both said "I was at a party there once." at the same time.
    I said "I spent the night sitting on the living room floor, chatting to this guy about...his weird name..." (My fiance's name is Reuben. We're from small towns, Reuben is weird.)
    Then he said "I spent the night on the floor too, chatting to this really pretty girl about my name, but then it turned out she had a boyfriend so I left her alone..."

    It was possibly the most Sliding-Doors moment of my life.

    Best story ever! We were set up by his ex wife! I worked with her and when she suggested it I said "Are you nuts, I wouldnt wish MY ex on anybody!". I finally relented, 3yrs later we married and 13 yrs later we are still all good friends.

    Also Warcraft here, though we started talking romantically in May 2011 and by October 2011 I was visiting her. Hopefully my last 'visit' is this July as I'll be frantically looking for and applying for work.

    I met my adorable wife in a HONKY-TONK, yes that's correct a Honky-Tonk. She was there with friends and I was there with my brother. Neither of us were looking for a date at the time. 18 years later (and a lot of country music) we're still happily married with 2 wonderful children.
