Where did you meet...?

I'm surprised that there are not that many people on here that "met at a bar".

I met my wife at a bar on a night that I hadn't even planned to go out. What's ironic is that I might not have ever talked to her if her friend she was with wasn't getting hit on by some skeezy guy claiming to be a private investigator. She was standing by herself so I went and talked to her. The friend comes over shortly after that and says, "We need to get out of here, this PI guy is freaking me out!". I must have seemed pretty normal in comparison.

What's even funnier is that my wife is a "good girl" who doesn't actually drink alcohol, so she made up a story for her mom that some friends set us up on a date because her mom would have freaked out if she knew we met in a bar. I was 24 and she was 22 when we met. Dated for a few years and have been married for 15 years now.

We met at a party at a club (so, a bar) in the city I was living in. He lived 130 KM away but came out to the party anyway (it's music specific and these fans are known to be a bit nuts and travel much further for a gig or a party).

It was probably the worst time in both of our lives. He and his now ex had just made the decision to split, me and my now ex were not there yet but heading towards disaster.

So, no, not love at first site, but instant friends that supported each other through some pretty bad stuff (mine not only included a break up but also losing my job and almost having to claim bankruptcy) but I can tell you there was always "something" there.

We met in July 2003, started our relationship in November 2004 and got married in March 2009. I now live 130KM away from where we met ;-)

I met my husband when I was 22, he was 23 playing summer softball with my cousin. My cousin had supposedly tried to hook us up, but I wouldn't let her. A guy on our team was asking me who all was together (it was almost a couples team, w/just a few of us singles), and he matched me and my husband up. I said, "No way!" But thought it was kinda hilarious. Became friends w/his sister who was also on our team, and she invited me to go w/them bowling, invited his sisters and him over for a fish fry, went to his house for a movie, went back to his house for his bday and he asked me out! Started dating the day after Thanksgiving, got engaged and married w/in 5 mos! We've been together 8yrs and just had our 4th child.

We met at a bar, he was a friend of a friend and I was (unhappily) married. We were in a group of friends and just buddies. I realized that my 1st marriage was not worth 'fixing' and asked my husband for a divorce about the same time I realized that I had fallen in love with my friend. We have been together for almost 9 years and happily married for almost 7 years.

DAMN!! that's one lucky guy to have someone talk about him like that!!

Chuckee Cheese! I was looking like death warmed over because I had originally promised my son that I'd take him ice skating. I don't skate so I figured I'd huddle in a corner with my book while he had fun. Well, we get in the car and my son changed his mind, "I'd rather go to Chuckee Cheese Mom". I took one look at myself, no make up, ratty jeans, tousled hair and thought..."eh I'm not looking for anyone" (I was in process of divorcing) so I said, "what the heck, let's go kid".

Who knew I'd meet the love of my life in line waiting to enter Chuckee Cheese. Brief eye contact (he says, he thought, "Wow, she's beautiful", of course I learned later that he's far-sighted! LOL Anyway, we ran into each other again at the skeeball machine. I talk to EVERYONE, so when I saw his little guy having problems getting the ball in, I started chatting him up (the little guy) and then of course included dad in the conversation. We exchanged numbers after me blurting out ALL my business. I called him two weeks later (tipsy) and invited him to my birthday party. We danced the night away at my party, I went to visit him the next day and we became inseparable. We'll be celebrating our 4th year together and our FIRST year of marriage in April and July respectively.

I met my wife when I was 16. She was 19. We were attracted to each other from the first day, but we were always with someone else. It wasn't until 8 years later, after I got out of the military, that we finally started dating. Nine months later we were married.

We now have 3 beautiful girls together.

Since the day we got married we have not been apart longer than 3 days apart until recently. I am now finishing up a 6 month deployment to the Middle East. We still find time to talk to each other as much as possible either by chat, webcams, or phone. You never know how much you care, love, or miss something in your life until it is not there with you.

I used to throw rocks at him and his friends in grade 3. We met again when I was 17 at my then boyfriends apartment.

On an internet forum dedicated to a video game. (8-bit theater, anyone?)

We were actually both seeing other people at the time, so we just stayed as friends but it developed as more. He lived in the US and I lived in the UK, so he regularly came to visit me while he was in the military until he eventually moved over on a fiancee Visa in 2005 and we got married. We've now been married 7 years on the 14th of this month with two wonderful children.
