    I'm 32 and my dad was best friends with my husband's parents. We met when we were 9 and 10 (he is almost a year older than me), and started dating when we were 16. We married when I was 19, and he was 20.

    Me and my wife both started work at the same place simultaneously. During the second day of orientation she stole my number off of facebook and started texting me. After another day we went to the movies together and I stayed the night at her place. That was over two years ago and since then we have gotten married, I have taken her son under my wing, and we have had a beautiful daughter of our own. A true "Love at First Sight" story. Our next step in life is to conquer our adulthood responsibilities and lose/maintain our weight.

    Man, that's great! Congrats :)

    Still living in vain hope of meeting mine.

    No, which is a big reason why it didn't work out. :tongue:

    I was stationed in Alaska and I met a guy at a bar there who was in our unit, I told him I was new to the unit and he had us exchange numbers so that when everyone hangs out he would let me know, later he invited me to one of the barracks rooms across the hall from me and my SO was there, it was his room. This friend apparently wanted more but I only thought of it as platonic, he had a lot of things going on at the time and it was obvious he was only trying to "move on" from his soon to be ex wife. I noticed my SO and the rest is history. I would say that I owe it all to that friend for having us meet, but the reality of it is, is that my SO and I worked in the same hospital right across the hall from one another and we lived on the same floor in the barracks, so we were going to cross paths. Later, I found out my SO already knew about me and was trying to find the nerve to talk to me lol

    I met my wife on slimfast.com. We were slimfast buddies. We have been married for 7 years. Best thing that ever happened to me! (Now we are MFP buddies:)

    I met my husband at a keg party in college. I had ended a bad relationship about four months beforehand, I told him I didn't want to date anyone in particular. I never dated another guy.

    We have been married for 35 years. :love:

    She was a bartender at a bar/pool hall when she was just out of college. There was a pool tournament and as soon as I saw her it was love at first site for me. She had a boyfriend for four years. My buddy owned the place so I told him to hire me and schedule me to work with her and that he didn't even have to pay me. Her boyfriend treated her like crap so I showed her how a man treats a lady and after a few months she broke up with her boyfriend and we started dating. 2 months we were engaged and 9 months later we were married. Been 17 years now. We got three kids and she is just as beautiful today as she was 18 years ago.


    awwwww i love this one!!

    I do not have a "significant other" at the moment, but I am looking for one in the "Pass, Hug, Spank, Dance, Marry or Date - part 50 " thread in the message boards!

    I met my wife at a friend's engagement party. I was single and she was dating the groom's best friend. I asked her out in front of her date, she said yes, and we've been together ever since.

    My flatmate had a casual relationship with a guy and they decided to set me up with his flatmate. We've been married 6 years and have a 2 year old
