    High school sweethearts - been married 31 1/2 years.
  • 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.

    LoL... 6 years ago and 2 months... we met each other in the same class of our MSc.
    We helped each other on the first semester exams and since then we are together!...
    It was an interesting way of studying electronic physics!

    Two geeks met each other... hahahaha
  • Haven't found him yet...
  • 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

    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:

    Match.com -- just had our one year anniversary in August. We chatted and talked so much before we met that I was already in love with him.

    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 :)

    I've known my husband since the 4th grade. We went to elementary school together, never really hung with the same crowd. In Junior High we had study hall together and got to know each other and we've been together ever since 1991 and married since New Year's Eve 2001 so we'll be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in about 2 weeks.
  • I love posts likes these =]

    I met my husband through my ex boyfriend, they were friends, and then when my ex and I broke up, my husband asked me out, he moved in with me that night, dated for 5 months, he proposed, then we found out I was pregnant so we moved the wedding up, so we got married 7 months after we started dating, we have now been married for 4 1/2 years, and have two beautiful kids and are still going strong and very happy<3

    High school. I was 16 he was 15 and now we've been together more than half our lives. I hate it when people say that people who marry young will get divorced. I have never regretted it. I still love him today as much as when we were teenagers.

    My best friend in HS grew up next door to him. She told me one day that she had someone I needed to meet. I spent the weekend at her house and she had my-now-husband and one of his friends come over. It was love at first site. I got all giddy and acted like I was 12. I didn't think he'd like me b/c I was 16 and he was 19. We spent the day riding four-wheelers and he hit every bump and rock trying to get me to scoot forward on the seat. Later that day, he asked if I would like to have dinner with him sometime!

    That was April of 1997. This January will be our 10 year wedding anniversary (15 years since we started dating)!
  • I was looking for a guy to hook my friend up with and my sister had a friend with 4 brothers. I figured our odds were good she'd find someone. Lol. Well, she didn't but I did!! He was 19, I was 17. He was so freaking cute and a true gentleman. We spent the first 3 months glued at the hip. I moved in shortly there after. We got married after 2 years and have now been married for almost 10. We have 5 beautiful girls and enjoy every minute of it.

    Our parents were friends, I've known him all my life! Can remember having a crush on him since I was 5 but never did anything about it because we were family friends and I didn't think he was interested in me that way. We had always been friends and I got him a job working with me when we were teenagers, when I moved away from home we used to meet up when I went home and have fun as friends. 26 years later I still had a crush on him but had pretty much given up that there would be anything between us when we were at a birthday party and his Dad said to me that we should have got married, I told him that I wasn't the one that needed convincing, he wasn't interested! His Dad assured me that he was so, a little intoxicated at the time, I asked him and he told me he had a huge crush on me all along!!! We spent the rest of the night talking until he had to go to work the next morning, we went out on a date the next night and left the next day, went back home handed in my notice at work and moved back home! We got engaged 4 months later and got married 7 months after that - that was 12 years ago and we have never been happier!
