How did you meet your significant other????

In Thailand, where I was living in between traveling the world. He came to look for work on the island on Koh samui & only planned to stay 2 weeks before heading back up country. We met, I went home for 3 months, he stayed in Samui waiting for me & when I got back it all went from there. Been married 8 years, together nearly 11 & have a son just turned 4.

Typically my style that I had to go to the other side of the world to find a man I could put up with for longer than a few hours (I am v v independent) lucky he is laid back & neither of us is possessive or jealous. not perfect but then neither am I.

We moved to UK in 2004 & have been here most of the time since. We plan to move back to Thailand one day & become farmers on our 50 acre plot. Just need to win the lottery first. :smooched:

Pierre lived in France and worked in Geneva, Switzerland and I was living in Switzerland as a nanny. A friend from Oz was over visiting as she used to nanny in Switzerland also and she was staying in the same part of France as Pierre lived. Anyway on a night out I wasnt feeling great so said I was going home and if she wanted a lift back it was now or never. So I took her home and about 2 miles before the border into France there was a motorbike infront of us, suddenly the car in front of it slammed his brakes on and the bike went smashing into the back of it, riders head through back windscreen etc bike flew one way, rider the other. I slammed on my handbrake and jumped out of the car and ran to the rider - Pierre. He didnt speak great English and my french was practically non existant. Anyway I had a clean towel and a bottle of water in the car and he had cut both his legs (one of them really deep) and his chin - he had already removed his helmet tut tut. So I washed out all the wounds to get rid of any dirt and sat with him until the ambulance arrived. I then followed the ambulance and sat in the hospital with him for 6 hours whilst he was stitched up etc. We were friends for ages but we both secretly wanted more. This all happened in August and in the May he went away for a week to see his parents and seeing as we were seeing each other about 2/3 times a week I found myself really missing him so sent him a message saying so and he came back the next day and we both tiptoed around our feelings then kissed at the bus-stop as I left to get home and thats our story It was also printed in a UK magazine which we got paid for and they flew over to Geneva for a photoshoot of where we met

a gay prom in PSL florida at a bar called REBAR

About 18 years ago at a part time job we both did while at Uni. She was going out with somebody else (a real scum bag) at the time so I had to wait a while before she'd broke up with him, got over him and then I made my move. Still loving every minute of it as she is such an amazing person, so pretty and my best friend.

My hubby and I met when we were 14ish in highschool! We are 31 and 33 now. We have had some rough times but were proud to say we have been together for 18 yrs ! We got pregnant when I was 15 yrs old (eeekkk I know) Our daughter is soon to be 16. We then had a son as well! He is 7! We are eachothers best friends! I Think we have been together so long, we have the same brain!

Aww, some of these are super cute.

I met my husband in a parking lot at 3am when I was 18 - he was just getting into his car & I was walking by. I don't know why we started chatting with each other, but we did, and since he didn't seem like a creep I told him that he should join me in going to 7-11 several blocks away where I was going to grab a slurpee. He agreed, and we ended up strolling around together until the sun started coming up, just talking. He didn't murder me and I thought he was pretty funny & cute, so I gave him my phone number. This coming fall we'll have been together 13 years!

Not murdering you was a good sign he was a keeper! :bigsmile:

eta: This is a lovely story. Congratulations on 13 years. :flowerforyou:

We met at a college leadership outing back in 1993. One night of the long weekend, he went for a walk, so I invited myself to go with him. Of course, even before that night as I was waiting with the others by the van, I saw him walk across the campus with a mutal friend. I knew then that was it! We married in 1999, and now have an 8 year old son.

We were co-workers. He trained me when I started my job. I had a crush on him only to find out he was already dating someone. His girlfriend and I became good friends. The girlfriend cheated on him. He turned to me for friendship and support. During this time, he fell for me. Problem was, I had started dating someone else. We became even closer friends. He fell in love with me. He didn't date anyone and watched me stay with this other guy for 3 years, never holding back his feelings from me. It became really hard to be in a relationship with someone while there is someone else telling you everyday that they would make you happier, and they loved you more. I ended up leaving my boyfriend and started dating my husband. We've been together ever since, 7 years now Oh, my hubby's ex is still one of my best friends, and was the maid of honor at our wedding. It was an interesting speech....

My husband started out as a creepy myspace stalker! :laugh:

On a dating site but mfp did bring closer funny i know lmao

I haven't met her yet but I keep telling myself that I will one of these days

u will hun dont u worry!

He is so lucky...I just showed up at the house he was living at one night lol.

my good friend and I were cruising around in her VW Jetta when I noticed a GLi (sporty model of what she drives). So jokingly I said "hey, he has the same car as you...flag him down and talk to him!" and well...She did! I couldn't believe it so i just sat in the car while they chatted outside a gas station. I guess I should mention i was eating a salad from Sonic's and they forgot to give me dressing! so I was *****ing about that..

Anyway, he says to my friend "Wanna come back to my crib? my room mate drives a VW too"
Im thinking "no. no. I know how this is gonna end! we are gonna die!"
Of course my friend said yes! And then He mentions to me "i think we have salad dressing at the house"
So we follow him back to his place. I was expecting his room mate to be like him...but he was the complete opposite in a good way.
His room mate was sitting on the couch watching "the presidents daughter" lol.
We hit it off right away...we even finished each others sentences a couple times that night.

So after hanging out for a little bit, we decide to leave. The greatest part, was that he (the room mate) remembered my name! No one EVER remembers my name!!
This was back at the end of 2004. We met again on New Years eve.
it is now 2011 and we have been together for 6 and half years. Craziest part...this has been my first and only relationship lol.

My boyfriend used to work at the same workplace. I noticed that he would follow me around and look whenever I was passing. (I learned the next part after a few months of dating) He used the instant messaging system at work to figure out my name and added me on myspace. He then saw a bulletin that I was attending an event and followed me to it. The rest is history.

I met my man in 1984 when I was 6 years old! I moved over from Germany to the UK and he lived 3 doors away with his Mum,Dad and 2 other brothers. Both families became great friends. We finally got together properly Jan 2010 and we now have a 6 month old son.
Total soul mates :-)

I was kinda seeing a guy who was in the same circle of friends as myself, and had arranged to meet up with him on this particular night. We were sitting in the car deciding what to do, when a whole load of other cars pulled in (our friends). There was a bit of banter from everyone that night and we decided just to hang around with them.

Anyways, in one of the cars was this tall, nice looking guy... I hadn't met him before, but he struck up a conversation with me and was introduced to me as "Walker". He seemed nice and the two of us talked for ages.

The next night there was a party at my friends house. I went along and Walker was there. He was pretty drunk, and I was perfectly sober.... so when he grabbed me by the hand I was taken back. Nothing happened that night...

The following Tuesday I was getting ready to go on a four night camping trip and needed to pick up a few bits and pieces, so I went to my nearest Halfords where, lo and behold, it turned out he was a shift manager! He couldn't get me a price for something, so asked if I'd be about later and he'd find out and tell me when his shift was finished. I met up with him... He didn't have a price for me, but after that night we were inseperable.

We've been together for almost 2 years, and recently got engaged and moved into our own home.
