    I met mine at a birthday party, where he started being cheeky about the fact I dont drink! He could see that I was getting more than a little peeved, so he said in his loudest voice 'RAINBOWS ARE PRETTY, ARENT THEY?!'. I burst out laughing. 3 years tomorrow <3

    My fiance and I met on myspace! He was a friend of a couple of friends, and when I was just randomly browsing, I would come across his profile often. I thought he was soooo cute, but I wasn't big on myspace creeps, so I didnt want to randomly add him. Finally I got the idea to add him, and pretend I thought he was somebody I met a party LOL I'll never forget he said "No, that definitely wasn't me, but I have heard I look like a guy in the area, so it was probably him" I thought it was hilarious! We started talking, had a lot in common, and started hanging out IRL. After we started dating (I think I was already moved into his apartment at this point) I told him about my little white lie, and we both had a good laugh! Now it's almost 4 years later, and we're planning our wedding for April 2013 :)

    A married co-worker's son had some issues with his fine motor skills so she took him to see a Occupational Therapist. Over about a year of seeing the Occupational Therapist my co-worker got to know the therapist pretty well and found out she was looking for a good guy. I guess my co-worker thought highly of me and asked if it would be OK to give her therapist a picture of me and my phone number. A week or two went by and I didn't hear anything and thought maybe she didn't like what she saw/heard, then about a month later she called me.

    We talked about 2hrs that first night and decided we should go on a date. A year later we got married in Jamaica and a year after that we had our daughter.

    We met because I asked him for a drink of water for my dog while waiting for pizza to be ready for pickup during the hot summer months. Months later, I called to offer them a chance to bid on a lot of pizza for a big meeting my company was having and HE DELIVERED IT! 19 years later, we both still enjoy pizza!

    This is the one my mom said looked so much younger than me!
    MEOW!

    My SO and I met in high school. He was two years younger than I-therefore two grades behind. We had one class together my senior year. We talked here and there in class, but never really connected. I had no idea he had a crush on me at the time. 5 years later, he added me as a friend on facebook. We started talking, the normal how are you, what have you been up to chatter-nothing serious, nothing leading to anything other than an acquaintance type friendship. One day we were talking and I was super stressed because my car had broken down and I had no way of getting home from work. He offered to pick me up and we stopped to get something for dinner-my treat...because he wouldn't let me give him gas money. As we were eating dinner, I knew that he was the one. The one I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, we were both in a relationship and agreed that we were going to give our current relationships everything we had-even though we both wanted to be with the other. Luckily, neither relationship worked out for us and we were able to start hanging out and getting to know each other. We took a hiking trip and shared our first kiss and the sunset. It was the most amazing first kiss I have ever experienced. We have been dating for 6 months and have never been happier! :love:

    My cousin tried to get me to meet him and since I was dating someone else I refused. He send me "secret admirer" roses! It took me two weeks to find out who my secret admirer was....by then the other guy and I had parted ways, so I went out with him. 33 years later we are still together!!!

    In grade 9, he walked in late to homeroom b/c he went to the wrong one, we locked eyes ;)

    He asked me out December 8th, 1998, grade 11 and we have been together everyday since. Celebrating our 13 year anniversary this year and 13 is my favourite all-time number so it will be fabulous (I'm 3rd generation born on the 13th, my sister and ½ sister were born on the same date 13 years apart...)

    I met mine at work. He walked in and introduced himself to me ( I was new ) and I literally felt something...like sparks...dunno, just something. It was insane. I love that man so much.

    I knew my hubby through School and I didn't like him in middle school or elementary, but one day he came back to our school after moving away and oooo boy was he fine standing in that hallway. I liked him ever since but he was dating a friend of mine who actually broke up with him cause she thought he and i had something going which in fact we were just friends and I would give him rides home from school. Anywho, one night about 2 years later at a friends house we were all hanging out and there was no place for me to sit so I decided to sit in his lap, mind you I am a very bashful person and it took all I had to make that decision to sit in his lap, he asked me on a date that night and from that day on for 10 years now we have been together.

    Cazic Thule. While punk-arses were all camping for Rubicite, all I wanted was a group. Shout after shout. High Elven Paladins aren't the high commodity they should be -- morons. *shakes fist* Got a pity-invite from his group. We fought gators in the sewers. I thought he was a jerk.

    The jerk and I just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.

    If you understand any of the first paragraph, you're a huge geek and you rock.

    I was in a bad mood and got dragged out to a bar wearing sweatpants and an old tshirt---a friend introduced us that night. We went on a date the next day and have been together ever since <3--getting married in less than 7 months!
    Sounds like my wife and I. She was having a horrible day (Got laid-off from a job) and her friends took her out for drinks to try and cheer her up. Then, to make matters worse, some guy insulted her by asking if she was a librarian or something because she was wearing glasses. So her friends grabbed her and dragged her to the bar for shots before she ripped the guys lungs out with a rusty spoon. I happened to be sitting there when they all walked up so I said "Hi" because I thought she was attractive. Her first words to me.."Hi, I'm Melanie and evidentally I'm a f**king librarian...". We've been together now almost 17 years.

    I met my boyfriend through a mutual friend. I'd met a girl online, she cheated on me, then introduced me to her best friends cousin, not knowing that we would fall for each other. ♥ We'll be together 3 and a half months tomorrow.

    Curt and I met at work a few years ago. We both worked the morning shift at a convenience store/deli, and since the mornings were pretty slow we had a lot of time to talk and get to know each other. :)
