How did you meet your significant other?

We used to work together (:

Taking notes :flowerforyou:

I have a couple of stories, but neither worked out in the long term....I'll wait until I can write a proper HWM story (pull up a chair, this may take a while)...meanwhile I'll be over here working on my cat collection :sad:

Blind date...41 years ago!

Awh!!!

I met my husband in a country bar in 2005. 6 weeks later, I deployed to Iraq. About 3 months later, I came home on R&R and we got married. I went back after two weeks of bliss. At the end of my yearlong deployment, I came home. 30 days later, HE left for Iraq. The next day I found out we were having a baby. When he came home for R&R, our first son was three weeks old. He went back and finished his tour, then came home to us when our son was 6 months old. We had a year together before his second (our third) deployment. That's the story.

She was my high school Engish teacher.

I met my hubby in high school, freshman year. We didn't start dating til junior year. We have been together for 14 years. Married for 11 years, and we are only 30 years old A lot of our friends look up to us because now a days people our age are getting married now. I knew what i wanted back then and i still want him now

THE STORY OF TWO RECRUITS(BEWARE LONG AND IT'S WHAT I POSTED ON FB BECAUSE EVERYONE ALWAYS ASKED THE STORY)


It all started in boot camp, for some reason we caught each others gaze one day and that's what started it all. I would blush so bad when he would look at me. For those that don't know about boot camp, you are not allowed to talk to each other. So our flirtatious looks lasted throughout boot camp. On graduation weekend my family and I were driving off base and I saw him and I asked my family to stop and invited him to go with us since he didn't have family come see him. First things first we went to a store and stuffed a bag full of candy we weren't really allowed to have sweets in boot camp and at that time we both enjoyed candy haha..We had went to wendys that day and got to know each other over frostys lol....We swam with my family in the hotel pool and spent alot of time lay on the opposite sides of a queen bed staring at each other lmbo I know we were just kids then...Well we ended up getting stationed in Pensacola for school so we hung out the first weekend we could. And had our first kiss with each other at the end of the road I grew up on lol. Well I didn't hear from him for a whole week so when the next weekend came around and I saw him out of the blue I broke up with him hurt thinking that either there was some one else or he just didn't like me that much I figure if he did he would come after me and stopped me (it wasn't until almost 9 years later I found out that he did infact try to come after me and one of my "friends" kepted him away) Well we lost contact cause after that weekend I got stationed in Virginia. I thought of him often and always wondered what happened to him I didn't know where he got stationed had no idea where he could be. Everytime I would find a site like myspace facebook etc I would be curious and do a search for him only to pop up no favorable results. Wow....the one that got a way....lol or so I thought
So in late 2007 I found a site called Together we served. It's a military site where you connect with old friends from different stations and boot camp. Well once again thinking it was a lost cause decided to find Jon and this time I did. I looked at his profile and it said he was in california....atleast that is what I thought (he was actually in japan) but i was in california at the time so I thought about it after a day or two and I wrote him an email asking if he remembered me. Turns out he had just gotten that account days before I wrote him. So we spent some time catching up on our kids etc etc..... Found out that he had looked for me alittle as well at my old ship with no results... Spent many times throughout the years joking about what it would be like to hang out again...So talking here and there from late 2007 to mid 2009... He found out he was going to be stationed back in the states very soon. So we joked with the idea of seeing each other but nothing set in stone until around thanksgiving we decided that in january before I left for afghanistan that we would meet up. Well that quickly turned into an overnight driving trip for him in decemeber when I was disturbed about some personal issues....And honestly....when we first met all of the feelings I knew I had for him just hit me more so like a ton of bricks....And honestly since late december we have been truly whole heartedly head over heels in love.
He came to Pensacola the weekend of the 23rd of April. We had rented a cabin on the beach. He asked me to take a walk with him on the beach and very reluctantly I did..... He ended up getting on one knee and asking me to marry him while we got wet (it was sprinkling) I went to hug him and ended on making him fall onto the beach... Its been amazing having him back in my life.

Graduation weekend we were devouring candy lol August 1999



This is us 2011 on our 12 year navy anniversary (sorry I I just had a kid so I am alittle pudgy)



Needless to say now 2012 we are stationed together in pensacola and have 14 month old son together..

I believe in the set them free if they come back it's meant to be saying......

I met mine on a snowboarding trip to Innsbruck, Austria. We were the only ones on the trip who actually planned on hitting the slopes instead of staying out drinking all night. We spent every day together and had our first date at an adorable Italian restaurant.

I remember when we exchanged info at the airport, we included every piece of info possible, I still have the 20 franc that it was written on since I couldn't find a scrap of paper anywhere!

The irony here is that we lived one town away from each other, had mutual friends and I had delieved pizza to his house once or twice when I was a pizza delievery girl!

Online.


We met on a Jewish Singles board.... that my MOTHER signed me up for. We were both in the process of getting divorced.

my husband and i met on match.com 5 years ago... i love telling our story because it's so funny how things happen! he had always been in my "top matches in my area"--if anyone is familiar with match, you know what i mean--but i didn't like the pic he had posted, and i didn't know why he had posted a few of himself and this girl (turned out to be his sister!). he emailed me one day and we started talking, just casually, and he said something that totally turned me off one day on the phone so i stopped talking to him. he called me again a few weeks later, after our sisters' weddings (our sisters were married 1 week apart), and we decided to meet up for the first time to get some coffee and talk about the weddings, since he was the best man and i was the maid of honor. i didn't want to, but he called me a chicken and asked what i had to lose. so, i went. as soon as i saw him, i just knew... he was everything i had been looking for on the website, right in front of my face the whole time! we were married last october and are very happy. coming from someone who thought she was going to be a cat lady, that was a big thing for me! :-)

I met mine through my cousin at Cedar Point.
They played in a band together and my cousin said the drummer would be meeting us up there.
I thought he was so cute and tried being flirty...however, he was having no part of it! haha
I had to find him on Facebook (when I had one) and try to woo him!
He finally cracked and explained his ignoring me as just doing his own thing and not being caught up in the drama girls bring lol

3 years later, we are still going strong!
I can honestly say it's been the happiest 3 years of my life and I can't wait to spend forever with him

We met at a bar through mutual friends.

Neither one of us had planned on going out that night, but got guilt-tripped into it by our respective friends. I was a regular at that particular bar and knew quite a few people. I saw him out of the corner of my eye and didn't recognize him, so I asked the friend he was there with to introduce us. We closed down the bar and ended up going for breakfast. I gave him my number and he actually called the next day! We had our first date about a week later and have been together for 7 years now and married for almost 4.

During a badmiton game at a pig roast. His boss put it on and invited extra girls as he had lots of single guys working for him. My roommate was a friend of the boss and invited me along. We will be married 30 years this August.

At a bar!! 20 years ago!
