    I met my boyfriend 9 years ago through my best friend, and we were friends up until this year. Turns out we've liked each other the whole 9 years we were friends, and then we got together in March of this year. We've been together for 4 months and are deeply in love. He is the most amazing man in the world.

    I worked at a Baptist campground and it was going on my 5th and final summer there (it was a good year round job for teens and college students) and we were getting ready for the summer camp season and hosting a few retreats (It was March).... and one of my bosses introduced him to everyone.... later that night we stayed up until probably midnight or 1 am sitting on the staff lodge porch just talking away... and 8 years later we are married...

    In a kebab shop at 1.30am six years ago!

    I'd only gone in to shelter from the rain while waiting for a taxi... and there was the love of my life about to tuck into some garlic bread. Luckily he, saw me, didn't eat the bread, kissed me, got my number... and the rest is history.

    You just never know when it's going to happen ;)

    I first spoke to him via Xbox playing CoD hahahaha sad I know. He was a friend of a friend, and he just insulted me the whole time saying he would never be beaten by a girl :grumble:

    About a month later I went to that friend's flat, which he happened to share with my now partner.

    When I first actually met him I thought he was a bit obnoxious! We were all going out that night so after talking to him for a bit I realised we both grew up in the same area and had other friends in common.

    He was the first person to ever ask for my number haha :blushing:
    He was also the first person I ever had a date with (and I was 20 hahaha :embarassed:)

    After knowing him 5 days he asked me out and I said yes.
    2 and 1/2 years later and we now live together and I've never been happier :love:

    I was a bouncer at a bar and she happened to be the one that really stood out. She didn't want anything to do with me for quite some time, so I knew she had good judgement.... lmao.

We remained friends after demob and dated on the weekends while I was in nursing school. Once I graduated we got married. A few months later we were expecting our first. We've been married 4 years and have two little ones :)

    I had met him once, but then ran into him at a convenience store. I said hi, and looked up with red, bleary eyes and said "I need hot dogs." I was hooked.

    I met mine when he took a break from his PC (it had crashed in the middle of a raid I think) and decided to pay a visit on a mutual friend that I was staying over with for the weekend so I could attend an event in London (i lived in Wendover (Buckinghamshire) at the time). 11 yrs later we are still together :)

    I was just remember how we met from another topic in another forum....

    I first met Jen when she was 13 - a geeky little straight A girl with a smokin' hot body, and I was the baddest dude around.
    Also 13 by the way:bigsmile:
    Anyway, she hated me, my criminality and violent nature, but I loved her even though she was out of reach.
    And then something happened to break her resolve. I met her at a teen swimming party and caught her checking me out. :devil: GOTCHA!
    2 weeks later, she was MINE!
    I went out and bought a ring like any well intentioned guy in love.
    People laughed. Nobody took us very seriously.
    We were married, and my own father said to me as we were getting dressed for the wedding
    "I know your first wife. I wonder who the next will be"
    In other words, we were doomed to failure.
    That was 29 years ago. We've had 5 kids and wonderful life with challenges like any relationship.
    To me she is still that geeky girl I wanted so badly at age 13, and I love her today just as much.
    I am the least deserving of such a woman, and if there is really a God in heaven, I thank Him for blessing me so richly in this life.
    All Is Possible:heart:

    D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
