    Online...he started talking to me after seeing an online profile, just four days after I'd been dumped via text message by my ex.

    We met in person on June 3, 2006...he had me at hello; became official June 6 of that year (06-06-06, what are the odds?) and I moved in with him April 11, 2009. This man is the love of my life, soulmate and best friend. I can't wait to be his Mrs. one day!

    We met online, tried unsuccessfully to talk on instant messenger for about a month, finally got a chance to talk on IM when my roomie wanted to go get food. I responded with "NOOOOOOoooooooooo!!!!" so she said to have him meet us (totally not like her) so he met us, didn't get a word in edgewise. He apparently liked something because he still contacted me after that lol. We dated for 3 days shy of 2 years, were engaged almost a year & have been married for a little over a year. :heart:

    I was 22, he was 41. we worked in the same office and I had a mad crush on him, and my coworker and I used to try to guess his age. We knew he had kids, so we had him pegged at about 33-35. Right before my birthday, I was feeling saucy, so I called him over to my office, and told him my birthday was next week, what was he going to get me? He replied, with a devilish smile, "how bout me, naked, wrapped in cellophane?" I was speechless. and completely hooked. That was eleven years ago.......LOL I ended up getting fired for dating a coworker, but it was totally worth it!

    In a pool where she fell asleep on a floating raft and I kept her floating at my feet for two hours until she woke up. Yes, I was staring a lot too. She was great in a Red Bikini. The rest is history. 20 years in September. 2 great kids.

    We both worked at Zellers:love: (canadian wanna be equivalant to walmart or target, more like target). We were both cashiers, and he was and obviously is still, a year and 5 months younger than me. He was 16 and I was about to turn 18.... Scandilous!:blushing: 10+ years later we have been married 3 years as of June 30 2010.

    I was an LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist) and I had a client that was coming to me for about a year on an Auto Injury Claim. We were talking after a session and found out we lived near each other. I was all alone on New Year's Eve and had the audacity to call her up and ask her out for that evening. DUH! She already had plans. On her next visit, she suggested we get together for a drink some evening. She kept being too busy, but finally agreed to drinks in February. Had a few drinks and went our separate ways. Invited her to my house the next week for dinner. That was the beginning.

    I asked her to marry me 2 weeks later.

    We will celebrate our 18th anniversay in August.

    Went to catholic grade school together and high school together. He was in 2nd and I was in 1st grade. He was my first crush and it is still going strong. We didn't start dating until after college. Funny thing is his mom was always trying to set us up. Oh, and now we are Lutheran :laugh:

    We have been married going on 11 years and have 3 kids together.

    We met onlime in a forum, only trouble was I was married (it was in it' s final stages) and he was in Canada and I in England.

    We just chatted for ages through IM, then he gave me his phone number and when I heard his voice I was hooked. Man sounds like warm melted chocolate.....

    He came over to visit me after talking for almost a year, went home and sold up and moved to England. We got married in September, and are very happy :-)

    I'm going to say online, but it's a bit more than that. He owns his own auto parts business and was a sponser for a car club that I was with at the time. I had contacted him by MSN for a part for my car and we talked car stuff for a while. About 3 weeks after that there was a car meet in my town and he didn't know how to get there, so I offered to meet him and he could follow me. And blah blah blah it's been 4 years :happy:

    My husband and I met on excite chat, the canada forum! lol
    We fired back and forth a few e-mails and made arrangements to meet for coffee (we lived in the same city).
    We met up, had a great date and then due to circumstances beyond our control (death in the family, he went away, etc) we never got together again. He got back with his ex, I got back with mine.
    1 yr later I emailed him because my ex and I were finally DONE (for good!) and as it turns out his ex and he were just breaking up too! lol
    We've been together ever since and that's almost 9 yrs ago in May...we just had our 8 yr wedding anniversary.....3 kids....2 cats....1 dog.....<3

    March 1 was actually the 5 year anniversary since we first met!

    It all started one night when my parents were out of town and I was supposed to be at the house, but I went out and met up with some of my friends anyway with the hopes of getting back with my ex. LOL Anyway, we all met at the bowling alley, and when Bruce and I first saw each other we were instantly attracted.. (so yes, in this case the love at first sight is kinda true.. more "like" at first sight lol). Anyway, he got my number and we went out on a date but I wasn't ready to get into a relationship yet, so we just went on a date or 2 but stayed good friends and talked all the time. I remember one night we were talking about what kinds of houses we liked and what we wanted them to look like when we built one (I was 16 at this time and he just turned 18) and we finished each other's sentences describing how each of our houses would look (kinda dorky, I know lol). For some reason it clicked that we should be more than friends. Then a few months later on September 25, 2005 he took me huntin because he knew I had always wanted to go, and we became a couple and have been going strong ever since! Now we're getting married on 09.25.10, our 5 year anniversary! :smooched:

    I was going to this supper club every Friday after work by myself. It's mostly a country and western club. I was introduced to John and this other guy. I went out with the other guy and had to take a cab home. He was bad news. The next week I showed up at 7pm for dinner and the door man set me at the table right below the DJ"S booth. I didn't know this was John's table. When he showed up, he went to set at his table and he just looked at me. You see the door man thought we were together because we were dressed identically. We had on the same brand of jeans, the same shirt, the same cowboy hat, the same belt and buckle, and the same cowboy boots. I just looked at him and said, well, fate is telling us something. And I asked him to sit down. We have been together ever since. We have been married for 26 years and been together for 28 years. :flowerforyou: :love:
