How did you meet your significant other?

If I just do something about how easy it is to get a restraining order....:grumble:

This is fun!:laugh:
My best friend dragged me to a reunion potluck picnic because she was stalking a guy...
Hubby-to-be had just driven all the way home across country on Navy leave & his mom dragged him to a reunion potluck picnic she'd organized...
That was 33 years ago!

Met my baby on WesternMatch.com.....he moved here from Texas 16 months ago :smooched:

Had a flat tire...back then he worked at Discount Tire. This August will be 7 years and 3 beautful kids.

On a bad note...mother-in-law from hell!!

Well techincally we met online..when I was 15 he was about 17 I saw that he had viewed my "subprofile" on AIM and I IMed him and asked who this was...and it began from there..:smooched:

Come to find out, we are closer than what we thought! My sister had worked with his mom and we saw each other a couple of times when we were younger but I couldn't remember ...I actually thought he was stalking me when he asked .."is your sister...", "is your nephew..." :huh:

Then our first date was at a basketball game and it was love at first site..

it was 5 years Jan 10. :bigsmile:

He can get on my nerves pretty bad.... but I still love him!

I love hearing how others have met, but so far no other blind dates. Yes, I broke my one hard and fast rule for myself, NO BLIND DATES! My best friend called me and told me about this wonderful guy that was her husband's best friend and convinced me to go on a double date with them. April 28th will be 25 years! I guess some rules are supposed to be broken.

When I met my husband, I was engaged to someone else! My husband was my brother's roomie in the army, and I went to see my brother for his birthday. Next thing I know, I went back home, broke off the engagement and got married four months later!!! This past year we celebrated our 20th anniversary, we have four beautiful children and are still "hot" for each other!:bigsmile:

Hi

For the ladies here in your early 20's....TAKE YOUR TIME...NO RUSH
I personally think that there should be a minimum age requirement to get married....LOL
OF COURSE everyone and every situation is different but you truly change so much over a very short period of time in your 20's

I met DH when I was 16 and went to see a movie.... but we got there too late and missed seeing the flick and had to wait for our ride
He was hanging out with some of his friends and my friend and his friend started talking
We didn't talk that night but the next night my friend set us up on a double date
We dated on and off (mostly on) and got married when we were 28/29
We just celebrated out 7 yr wedding anni

I sent off $49.99 to Russia and 6 months later, she arrived.

I get the biggest kick at getting her to say "Moose and squirrel"

Does she call you Boris? :huh:

Mine was a blind date, too. One of my old college roommates set me up with one of her classmates from law school. Asked if she could give him my #. I loved his voice! We went out. Met in Sept, engaged at Thanksgiving and married the next August. It's been 12.5 years, 3 kids, and many moves since. I often say that we're married b/c he was the only one that didn't break up with me! (Every guy I dated i wanted to marry, no idea what i was doing or what i wanted (i was in my early 20's) but i got very very lucky with him!)
We had a very small wedding with no music/dancing, but if I could, I would choose "Still the One" as our song.

What a great thread and so many great stories. I agree with the comments to the singles that sometimes the best way to find love is to stop looking for it.

I met my hubby through my parents ... eek!
We lived in a small village and my parents knew him from the local legion. My mom kept telling me that I should be with a boy like him, which of course just made me want to avoid him like the plague. One of my very first memories of him was after I had gotten my first tattoo (under my right boob). I ran into him and a friend of his and I was so excited that I pulled up my top to show him. Nothing fell out or anything but boy was he surprised. After that I was soooo stressed out that he would tell my dad about the tattoo (they worked together at that time) that I went over to his house and begged him not to say anything.

Anyways, a little wile later I moved out of my parents house at 17 (not because of the tattoo) and I moved into the house across the street from him. He was good friends with one of the guys I lived with and so we started to hang out. I wasn't looking for anything though because I had just gotten out of a bad relationship. However, he was irrestible and I quickly changed my mind. Best decision I ever made was to kiss him goodbye one night after watching movies. He told me later he couldn't sleep all night after that.

9 years later, I thank God every day that I get to sleep next to him each night.

I am another one that met my man online. We started chatting on LavaLife. As we got to know each other, we discovered that we worked in the same mall, only 3 stores away from each other. We met for lunch one day, but that didn't go well at all... I think we were in two different places at that time. He always told me he was attracted to me, but if we couldn't date then he didn't want to loose me as a friend. We became friends and over a year later we (meaning me) decided to give it another chance. We have beem together for 3.5 years, unfortunately we are currently in different cities and have been for the last 2 years, but things are still good.

i love these stories too! thanks for starting the thread and everyone for sharing their stories

We lived across the street from each other growing up. We went to school together. I am 35 and we have been together since I was 19. Cindy
