    We met at Dover AFB in Delaware. We were both separated at the time, and it was one of those love at first sight!! Been together for 34 years, married for 31. Yes, sometimes "love is lovelier the second time around". For all of you younger folks, that was a popular song way back in the dark ages lol!!

    I was digging this guy in another department. I was too nervous to talk to him. I randomly decided to say hi to someone else on his team.

    That someone else is now my boyfriend. :)

    Turns out he's the most amazing man I've ever met.

    I wrote JD a message on POF saying that I wasn't looking for anything serious, just some 'fun' one night a week (if you catch my drift). We're both single parents, and I was still healing from an awful divorce. We met for coffee and I thought "wow, this guy is relationship material", so I blew him off because I knew I wasn't ready for that. I ended up dating a "Mr. Wrong" for 8 months, dumped his sorry *kitten*, and then I waited a few months before writing JD to ask if he was still single. He was.

    I went over, made him dinner and well.....we've been together since. Just over a year, and going very strong :)

    We tell people we met at the grocery store to ward of more questions.... lol

    We met at a mutual friend's HS graduation party, and really hit it off. After the party we went to a movie together. We had a little falling-out but started dating a year or so later. Been together 4 years!

    I picked him up in a bar. He was leaning on the counter ordering drinks, I told him he had a nice *kitten* and the rest is history. 15 years and 4 kids later we're still happily married and he still has a nice *kitten*:devil:

    I came late to the Facebook-party and when i made my profile in 2008, the first people I reconnected with were friends from middle school. I've always had more male than female friends and I met up with two of them to go to the movies. Guy x and I it it off and had lunch once or twice after that. 2 weekends later he was driving up to north Florida to collect his things from his college apartment to move back home for the summer and invited me to come up for the weekend and hang out- you know, beer pong, video games, etc. I was alone that weekend with nothing to do so I figured i'd go. So I met him up there and that day I met Jon, his roommate. Well, come to find out, Jon's not stupid. He tells me he saw me and thought I was ridiculously hot (his words, not mine) and so went up to guy x and said, "I know you're just trying to get laid and I actually want a relationship so it's game on." HAHA! The first thing he did that hooked me was he sat down on the couch across from me and proceeded to discuss politics and religion (we're on the same page with both it turned out). He appealed to my mind and damn, I fell hard! :P Of course, guy x did just want booty and I just don't sleep with you on the first date. Period. I just don't. We had a little make out session, fell asleep, and he was completely disinterested in the morning. However, I couldn't have cared less as Jon was still there- with his tattoos, interesting opinions, his hotness (yes i still think he's just plain hot!), and his sweet attitude. He made sure i "added" him on Facebook before he left for work and I left for south Florida. We talked every day for at least 4 hours over the internet and phone. I was infatuated, giddy, and I swear to this day I fell in love with him the day we met. I made the same trip back up to his apartment, much as I did for guy x, and had what are still the most magical 3 days of my life. We've been together since the day we met, but officially since 06/09/2008. He proposed on 09/09/2009. Three and a half years later and he drives me batty every day and i love him more and more every day. :heart: :smooched: :heart:

    On 82nd Avenue... (No, I really WAS on my way home from church - and he on his way home from work!) Guy driving too slow for my liking smiled the most gorgeous smile, and I was gone! 5 weeks later we were engaged, and married just over 8 months after meeting. Now, 25 years and two kids later...his smile STILL does it to me!

    I was living with 4 other people and he was really good friends with all of my roommates. we generally had a weekly party and Id see him every thursday (the party night), and i liked him. i let him know that i liked him and we began casually "dating" for 3 months, and after 3 months he said he thought he was ready to give us a real try, and weve been together ever since. 2 years of being a couple, plus the 3 months.

    great story! We grew up 4.5 miles from each other, attended the same schools and parties, had the same best friends...and we never crossed paths, from middle school to high school! It was well into college :)
