Romance - Where did you meet your partner?

12 years ago I was widowed and never wanted to marry again.
Nine years ago I went online to find a "friend"
Met my "friend" face to face within three days of meeting online.
I was immediately attracted to this tall, sweet very nice man. (he had been rejected by many women because he was "nice:)
We have been happily married for five years and now share two lovely grandchildren.

PS he is tall and has an almost perfect build, I am fat and have been since the day we met (working on that now though).

Cheers
Joanne

Where did you meet you partner?
What did you first notice about him/her?
What is their best quality you appreciate?

--Met my husband (we've been together almost 10 yrs, married for 6) in college, we were in the "All American" Marching Band together and we had a lot of mutual friends, we all hung around together during the Bowl trip late December... so that's where we first started talking/flirting :-)

--Noticed he was tall and handsome (with perfect blue eyes) and liked to tickle me :-) We had friends in common so I had a hunch we'd get along pretty well.

--These days, I couldn't just pick one quality to appreciate most about him. He's forgiving and gracious, does not raise his voice at me, is very good at taking care of me while I'm sick, he's very patient and extremely intelligent. And he is turning out to be a fabulous father to our almost-5-mo old :-)

Pre-school...
What did you first notice about him/her?
I probably didn't notice him. XD
What is their best quality you appreciate?
I really can't choose just *one* quality as his best quality. He has a series of qualities which create the man I love and admire. He is exceptionally intelligent, hard working, ambitious, generous, compassionate, incredibly open minded, honest, sensual, passionate, patient, modest... to name a few.

I met my husband online in 1999, talking on AOL instant messenger. We talked online/phone for 4 mos, then met in person. Dated for 9 mos and got married that was almost 13 yrs ago and 4 kids later.

First met my guy on Facebook in 2011 and we've been dating online ever since (we met in person twice so far), and soon to be moving in together. His great sense of humor was the first thing to grab my attention, but my favorite quality that he has is his kindness and dedication.

We met online on pof... I was absolutely sick of pof. I saw his profile. He was new to pof. He seemed overall sweet, nerdy and had beautiful eyes in his pic. He read my brief message and I saw that he had but hadn't answered. Being ignored annoys the heck outta me so I figured this was the last straw and I was deleting my account when I got home from work. By the time I got home I'd received a message from him. We lived about 35 miles apart and hit it off right away, had so very much in common. Love the giant with all my heart. Been together a year and a half now and been living together for 6 months.
I'd been single more than two years. I met him still weighing 210lbs and he thinks I'm super sexy even though I gained back to what I was a year before we met.
If you feel too insecure to currently date then don't, but my opinion has always been high of myself, no matter my size. That is why I dated and met several men highly interested in me, but they simply were not who I wanted. No click, no butterflies...
My giant is my forever love and when you are destined to find yours you shall.

Hahaha well I actually met him on MFP Then we met up in person in Paris (he lived in france and I moved there last year) and hit it off. Now we've been together for over a year

What did you first notice about him/her? His friendly voice and intelligence

What is their best quality you appreciate?

Not to be corny but there is no "best" quality, its everything about him together that makes me appreciate him as much as I do!

I met my husband while I was bartending at a Microbrewery.

The first thing I noticed was that he slipped through the door that I had been too busy to lock and a rudely asked him, "Do you want to order food?" He said he did no, so I let him stay. I noticed that he was very social and handsome.

Best quality as that he makes me laugh.

Where did you meet you partner?
I met him online nearly 6 years ago, in a chat-room, we both don't exactly remember how we ended up being contacts in msn, but at first he was really getting on my nerves lol but then we became friends and finally ended up lovers. He was living in france back then and i was living in canada, so he came to visit me and i knew from then that he was the one.

What did you first notice about him/her?
When i saw him for the first time i noticed his eyes, there was so much kindness emerging from them, he just made me feel safe and at peace ( and i still love looking at his eyes )

What is their best quality you appreciate?
He's always there to support me when i need it, he gives great advice and whenever i struggle with something he's the one who keeps me from giving up. He's so loving and adorable, i just can't imagine my life without him.

Outside the front door of my apartment. I was grilling out and she and a friend were walking by on the way to a party. Had I cooked inside that day, I'd never have met her. We've been married 30 years.

I met my husband when I was 19. We were both in the Army. I was at the Enlisted Men's club with friends He was there with friends. He asked to be introduced to me. From then on we were inseparable. We fell in love at first sight. I especially liked his eyes. He has been my best friend for 44 yrs. No matter what happens good or bad he's always there with his support. Don't think I could live with out him.

First met her on the first day of college, when we had been put in the same classes on a number of subjects. Before long our groups of friends merged into one, which meant we spent a long while as friends. Would have asked her out sooner, but knew (and still know) that she was completely out of my league.

Got together 2.5 years later after she had gone to University and had come back for christmas. We agreed to go out for a drink and ended up there for 8 hours. It all went from there really, and now been together nearly 9 years and married for 4.5.

What did you first notice about him/her?

First impression was "wow, you're hot" Not one thing in particular, it just felt like I was looking at my perfect women. When I got to chat with her, I found that she was caring and perfect inside too. To me I struggle to see how she can better herself.

What is their best quality you appreciate?

The ability to get me through anything life throws at us. She is so calm, and always thinks logical and calmy when any problems arise. She is also the best Mum to our 2 kids!

strip club her name is nikki - she doesn't know were an item yet :PP

I met her at work and it was love at first sight. We've been together for almost 2 years now and we still work together and live together with no problems

Thank you both for your service. I have a soft spot for those who serve our country. :flowerforyou:

I met my fiance in our American Sign Language class in college. He dated a girl who was deaf and learned sign language. I was just super interested in ASL.. I remember texting my mom the first day when he walked in, saying "MOM! Gorgeous guy, long hair, nice arms, beautiful teeth - and he has a camo backpack."

Ahhh, yeah. A handsome one, he is. Love him to pieces.
