    14 Years ago, our eyes met across a crowded bar, and that was that. I felt like I’d known him for years.

    Well, I don't buy in to the one true love business, but I do consider my husband a true love.

    I met him in a bar. He had just gotten off work and I was exceptionally inebriated. It was 16 or 17 years ago now.
  • I met my husband at BWI airport. We both worked there for the same company, but worked in two different locations. His team was short one day and asked for help, so I volunteered. When I got over there I noticed him right away. He was (and still is ;) ) so handsome - I didn't think he would be interested in me. Well, a few days later his friend (a girl who worked with my mom at a different station) came to me and said she knew someone who liked me. I was shocked! I asked if it was the guy with dark hair who worked for Airtran - and she said yes! I was soooo excited!!! We went on our first date to the Baltimore Inner Harbor and we talked for hours and hours! We hopped on the water taxi and planned on having dinner in Little Italy. Well, 2 1/2 hours later we realized we had missed our stop! We were so wrapped up in our conversation we completely lost track of time! I remember him asking me when my birthday was and I said "july 25th" and he said "no way! no it's not!". And i said "yes, it is! Why would I lie about that?" and he said "my birthday is july 24th!!!" He told me stories of when he was in the Marines, and he said being on the taxi reminded him of being on ship. Well, when the water taxi came back to the place we originally started from, we noticed little italy was only a block away. So we walked to it and had a very romantic dinner at Della Notte. We were two very poor people eating in a very fancy restaurant - we found so much humor in this. We both ordered side items as our main entree - he had a tiny spaghetti with 3 meatballs and I had a tiny caesar salad. He even picked a flower off of the centerpiece and gave it to me - I still have it, it's pressed in contact paper. When the night ended we came back to BWI's employee lot and sat in his car and talked for a long time. When it was time to say good night, he leaned in and we had our first kiss, and Tim McGraw's "I dont want to go to sleep tonight" was playing. This song was the last song we danced to at our wedding. Well, our first date was on May 14, 2003, we got engaged Feb 14, 2004, and got married May 14, 2005! And we are living happily ever after with a 4 year old girl and 1 year old boy - the two little loves of our lives. All three of them are my best friends :)
  • At the job that my husband at the time got me. O_o

    Not that I knew it at the time. He went through a divorce so I invited him to my circle to hang out. Then I went through my divorce and he decided to be there for me as I was there for him. It took me a few months to realize that he really was my true love.

    6 years ago this December online (Yahoo)
    I had been unceremoniously dumped at the end of August by my boyfriend of one year and in October I did a free 3 month trial with Yahoo unsure about the whole thing. I kept seeing this guy come up in my searches that I thought was cute enough, but I wasn't swooning over him. I went on a few dates with different guys, but nothing special. Finally, right before my 3 months were up, I sent a message to this guy. He wrote back and we started IMing. The first IM chat was painful. He is a super sensitive over-sharer and that's not me at all. He was in a bit of funk and feeling kind of sorry for himself at the time and that really came through in the chatting. Normally, I would have politely begged off and gone on my way, but I just felt like I was supposed to keep going. After a week or two, we decided to meet for dinner and that was the best date I ever had. He was funny and engaging and kind and a great listener and it didn't hurt that his pictures did him no justice and he was much more handsome in person. I'm not typically one who believes in "meant to be", but I find it hard to find a reason why I felt I wasn't supposed to stop talking to him.
    We've been married for almost 4 years now and have a 1 year old son. And we are so very happy. :0)

    Autumn of 1999. My first time ever in an internet chat room. He saw where I was from and happened to be building a house out there. We chatted some and I thought he was full of *kitten*. He was too young to be doing the things with his life he said he was. Kept talking some more and we knew a whole bunch of the same people. It was strange that we hadn't met years before.

    He told his friend he talked to me and the friend got all excited and said we needed to get together, so the 3 of us went out for pizza and rented a movie. The friend was trying to make a move on me, but I was completely uninterested.

    I was dating other people here and there, but made my interest in "the one" known. Finally after about a year and a half of hanging out as friends, we were watching "Leprechauns in the Hood" and his friend was passed out in the recliner. We snuggled up under a blanked and we had our first kiss. It was magical :)

    The next weekend, my daughter wouldn't sleep and he wanted to hang out, so he got to meet her for the first time. She ran into his house, saw a ball and picked it and threw it. I was mortified. He said, "Don't worry about it. If I didn't want kids throwing balls in my house, I wouldn't have such high ceilings." That was it. I was done. Hook, line and sinker.

    We were married the day before our 2 year dating anniversary and will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary in April. It hasn't always been easy, but we are true partners in our relationship and everything always works out in the end. I love him more and more every day :)

    While I was deployed to a FOB in Afghanistan. He was from a different unit, and had volunteered for his deployment. If he hadn't volunteered, we would never have met. We were also stationed on different sides of the US when we did get home, so we maintained a long distance relationship until he got out of the Army. My last visit to Denver, he asked me to marry him in a butterfly garden :-)

    I was picking up my girlfriend at her dorm and she introduced me to "the new girl" from New Mexico, that was in September of 1968. The three of us seemed to go on a lot of double dates and the following summer my girlfriend went with her to New Mexico for the summer. My girlfriend called on my birthday (July) to let me know she had met someone new in NM and was engaged. The following fall they both returned to school and by Thanksgiving I was dating my current wife. We got married in September of 1971 and this upcoming September 7th will mark 41 years.

    By the way, my wife introduced my former girlfriend to that guy who was the 1st of 3 husbands for her. lol

    My boyfriend and I met online at the beginning of this year and we hit it off right away. He knew that he was in love right away but for me a took a little longer. About 1.5 months.

    And now we are planning to get married in May or June of 2013. :)
  • I met him when I was 15. I told him I was going to marry him and have his babies when I was 16. He laughed at me. Fast forward four years and I got the last laugh. We've been married four years, have two children, and are talking about having a third.

    Well, we aren't married yet, but honestly we are just waiting until we are both truly ready (as I am 19 and he is 20), but I first met him in 6th grade math class. He was seated across from me in a desk cluster, and he set his foot on top of my foot. I was to afraid to move it, because I didn't want him to know...but then I was afraid that he would notice and wonder why I didn't move it........but by THEN it was too late because he would know I hadn't moved it when he first did it and think that that was weird.

    Well, he eventually moved it, and I was saved from my situation, but not before I noticed how cute he was. He turned out to be quite amazing, and everything that I thought I would want in a husband some day.

    That was 8 years ago, and after that day I worked my butt off to become amazing friends with him. We grew really close, but about three years later he still had never said anything ab out us being anywhere past that, so I started to lose hope. Then about a year after that, in the end of the summer of our sophomore year of highschool, he told me that he was in love with me, but had never wanted to ruin our friendship, but that he just couldn't stand not being with me anymore (and I was like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!) and it all fell into place from there :):):)

    We just celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday, and are trying to figure out when the best time would be to tie the knot <3

    03-September-1985. I was one month shy of 14 years old.

    Second day of my freshman year in high school. He was TA in my first period class - Auto Shop. I walked in, smelled all the grease and dirt and decided I was going to change my schedule. Then he walked out into the shop with the most gorgeous coffee brown eyes I'd ever seen in my life.

    It took me from that day until late October to get him to return any attention. Our first date was the Homecoming football game on 1-November-1985.

    We got married just under 7 months later, 29-June-1986 Yes, I was 14 years old when we got married.

    This past June, we celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary. We have 3 children. We have 3 grandchildren.
    In those 26 years, we have been through some heaven, some hell, and a whole lot of life. It hasn't been easy, but it's been worth it. I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else.

    Do I suggest that young people run out and get married when they are in their early teens? No, I do not. I know the struggles in life that are a result of such decisions. Do I regret that I did so? No, and I never will.

    5 years ago and I hated it him at first. He was friends with some friends of mine, we were at a bar, and there were 2 girls all over him. I found him so cocky ( which he is, I was right), so when he emailed me I didnt answer, then we ran into each other again..He proposed after a year dating, got a child now. He is still the cocky a** I thought he was, but he is a great man!!

    Met my husband online through a mutual friend (my cousin, his high school friend) when I was 16. Went to visit my family up north and ended up spending time with my cousin and several of her friends including him. When I got back home we talked more online and found it a bummer we hadn't gotten the chance to talk more in person, so he offered to drive the 11 hr drive down to visit before he had to go off to basics training two weeks later. He kept saying he wasn't looking for a girlfriend, but he just couldn't resist once he came down to visit. :laugh: He went to basic training a week after we started dating, and that's when we started a four year long distance relationship without hardly knowing each other. I consider myself super lucky considering the majority of relationships end in basic training. Luckily it all worked out and now we happily live together. Granted there were a lot of ups and downs, but we were always faithful and completely devoted to each other.
  • through a dating site on facebook! he sent me an email and asked if i wanted to talk on msn! I took one look at his picture and i thought oh this guy is too good looking for me hes probably a pig and only looking for one thing. I didnt respond to the email but oddly kept the email lol. He sent me a "wink" on the dating site and i sent one back and i thought it wouldnt hurt to just talk. So we talked and talked and talked somemore online and then one night he asked if he could call me and i gave him my number and we talked for 7 hours straight! I am not a talker at all so that is saying something. I still had this feeling in the pit of my stomach that this was all too good to be true. He was sweet and complimenting me all of the time and very attentive and such a gentleman. I knew from the first time we met that he was the one..i was in denial but i knew lol. He was the man i had been dreaming about in all of my other unhappy relationships. Well its almost 2 years later and nothing has changed except we are together and happy and he is my prince charming. We are not married yet but have been engaged for almost a year.

    I was 16, at a party with my boyfriend when I met him.
