How did you meet your significant other?

How weird! My husband & I were reminiscing about this only last week!

We met at a party at a mutual friend's house - the friend was someone I worked with and my husband-to-be was a friend of a friend of his. It was a fancy dress party, I was dressed as a French maid - complete with skimpy skirt and stocking tops! - and he came a someone who had crashed his motorbike - which he had 2 weeks before! (either that or he didn't get the memo!) - with ripped jeans and "bloodstained" leather jacket (actually just a red crayon). Our eyes met across a crowded room, he asked me to dance and 25 years later we are still together, married for the last 20 of them. They say that people you meet at parties are never the same person in the cold light of day, but, as our best man said at our wedding, sometimes you just realise that you've happened across something special.

We met at my job. I had seen him come in a few times for uniform shirts but my boss waited on him( I was a rookie so I was always in the back ironing Class A uniforms). I never in a thousand years thought he'd ever look at me so I just admired him from afar. Then one day he came in and she was gone on maternity leave and he introduced himself to me and shook my hand. It was crazy because I practically felt the universe shift lol. Now I joke with him and I tell him we imprinted on each other like they do in Twilight ( yeah I'm a dork ). And here we are 7 years later.

A blind date.....32 years ago!!

She was my high school Engish teacher.

I so want this to be true

It is. Here is the story.

We got together 10 years after I got out of high school (nothing happened in high school!). I stopped by my old high school for some reason and ran in to "Mrs Hobbs" who was smoking hot from what I remembered. When I was a student she was the stereotypical Englisg teacher - hair in bun, ugly glasses, frumpy clothes, etc. Now there was this hottie with loose hair, in a red dress chatting with me and catching up.

Came to find out her husband had died the year before and she didnt get out much. Me and a bunch of friends (also former students for the most part) were going to go see the Rocky Horror Picture Show that night and on the spur of the moment I asked her to go. She said yes and quite frankly I thought she was going as a friend (when she found out I was single still she even tried to set me up with someone a week or so later).

So for the next few weeks she hung out with us all. I kept getting weird signals but ignored them as I was like she just cant be interested in me. Then one night we met at a movie theater to see Total Recall. "The Gang" never showed up- just me and her. I was like WTF? I thought we had the time right, etc but no one else was there (this was pre-cell phone so no way to contact the group). My wife said "well since we are here lets see the movie anyway".

After the movie she invited me back to her place on some pretext (moving something I recall). Then she said how her back hurt, so I gave her a back rub... next thing I know I am being dragged across the hardwood floor to the bedroom - claw marks are still left in the floor- tossed onto the bed where I whimpered something to the effect of "please dont hurt me". We were married a year later and this year will be 21 years married.

Oh- I found out WAY later that she had called everyone in the group and personally threatened them with disembowlment if they showed up for that movie. She said she did this as I was being kind of dense in picking up that she liked me.

Oh- she is also 20 years older then me.

going to the nightclub with a girlfriend of mine that wanted to date him (I had never met him)...she wanted him but he didn't want her. He called me a couple of nights later and we've been together ever since 15 years.:flowerforyou:

I met my husband at church and I swear I heard God telling me that this was the man I was going to marry. We got engaged 3 months later and married 3 months after that. It was rocky, especially since he has 3 boys, and while I regret it was so quick and I was so young (I was 26 and he was 31) I wouldn't change a thing. We are looking forward to our "couple" time when the boys leave in a few years - they will all be in HS officially next year (Senior, Junior, and Freshman). I can't wait to see them start their new lives, but I would kick their *kitten* if they did what my husband and I did.

My wife is my high school sweetheart. We met while in the JROTC program. We were really good friends for 2 years before we started dating. All of our friends said it would only last a week. Now, 12 years later, we joke that we are barely on Tuesday of said week.

We met at a restaurant downtown about 14 months ago, and then went bar hopping with mutual friends. We talked A LOT that night. I knew that night that I wanted this man in my life for a very long time. We hit it off so well, he had every quality I wanted. We exchanged numbers that night. The next morning he asked me on a date for that evening. We have been inseparable ever since, getting married in October I looove him

Met my husband on this this chat server called ICQ

I moved to Canada one month later and we got married two months after that.


August 1st is our 11 years Anniversary

Electronic grabber machine. B***tch cost me 10 tokens! ;-)

We met on an online dating site, we emailed back and forth for a few weeks, getting to know each other...when we finally decided to meet up, and pick a place to meet, we found out that we lived in the same apartment complex, and had been for a year and a half already! And we also work for the same airline, in the same city!! So now we travel the world together!!

We met in 1983, waiting in line to buy concert tickets for Journey (Escape Tour!!) at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. It was raining, so she shared her umbrella ... I was 18, freshman in college, she was 17, junior in HS. We started dating, got engaged in 1985 (20 and 19 at that time), got married in 1987. We'll be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this summer ... but we've been together for 29 years now!

That's a very sweet story. I don't see why you shouldn't live your life together! My brother married his wife last year, and they're fairly young. They're happy! That's all that matters.

I met my hubby on World of Warcraft! We often think how close it was that we never would have met at all

I met my husband through a friend at a local club. A girl friend had begged me to come out with her that night. She was dating a guy who brought some friends with him as well. As soon as I saw Russ, I was like WOW. He had tattoos, a killer smile, and a cute butt! My girl friend told me that if she wasn’t dating her current BF, she would totally be with Russ, so I figured he was off limits. We were dancing later in the evening and I was so shocked when he came up and started dancing with me, and he had major skills on the dance floor too! Come to find out, we graduated from the same high school, the same year. Our high school was huge and it was almost impossible to know everyone. He gave me his hoodie at the end of the night. The next day, I had to take to back to him and I was so nervous! We ended up rollerblading and had dinner with the other couple and a few weeks later we made it official. We’ve been together going on 8 years now, and married for 5 in September. I know not everyone believes in fate, but I do. We both were dragged out by mutual friends that night, and might have never connected if we had choose not to go. The girl friend made attempts to get me to break up with Russ afterwards and when it didn’t happen, she quit talking to me altogether. It was strange, but I don’t miss her.

At Band Camp.. yep that's right, not kidding, band camp!!
