How did you met your other half?

I met my boyfriend through a sorority sister in Oct 2010. She had a birthday/tailgate party for our college's football team and she invited him--they knew each other through work. I was in a relationship with someone at the time and left the party early to go meet up with my boyfriend of the time. After the event, he found me through Facebook and would try to make small talk with me. After my ex and I broke up, I started dating my now boyfriend...but a month later wanted to work things out with my ex...and then broke up with him again...and started dating my now boyfriend again... Complicated start--FOR SURE, but we've been together for over a year and are planning on moving in together in January. He's definitely the love of my life and I can't wait for the day when he gets down on one knee and asks me to become his wife!

Married in high school, He was the mascot (LaFayette general). I knew we would make beautiful children. Now, 24 years later-we have 3 awesome adult children and two wonderful grandsons at age 44 & 42. God is so good!

First time we "met" we were both 15, both miles away from our respective schools at a competition. He was in the audience for my performance, I was in the audience for his. Of course, we didn't know this until years later.

Second time, I was 16, he was 17, I was at a party with my first boyfriend, and I was sitting on the floor, chatting to this blonde guy, wearing a lot of black, about how weird his name was.

2 years later, we met again, and we started seeing each other all the time.

Then one day, about a year in, I was talking about this competition I'd done in Macroom. "Hey" he said "I was there! I saw the singing!" Flabbergasted, we were, to find we'd been in the same concert hall, hundreds of miles from home, years before.

Another day, we were walking along, and as we passed the door of the house where we had attended the party years before, we both said "I was at a party there once." at the same time.
I said "I spent the night sitting on the living room floor, chatting to this guy about...his weird name..." (My fiance's name is Reuben. We're from small towns, Reuben is weird.)
Then he said "I spent the night on the floor too, chatting to this really pretty girl about my name, but then it turned out she had a boyfriend so I left her alone..."

It was possibly the most Sliding-Doors moment of my life.

Best story ever! We were set up by his ex wife! I worked with her and when she suggested it I said "Are you nuts, I wouldnt wish MY ex on anybody!". I finally relented, 3yrs later we married and 13 yrs later we are still all good friends.

AOL Chat..

I needed a date to a wedding!! A customer at the bank I worked at suggested his friend...our second date was THE wedding and 2 years later we had our OWN wedding!!

We met playing world of warcraft about 2005, in 2008 we (finally) began talking romantically (i had a serious crush on her all along) May 2009 I flew from Houston to Miami to meet her, October 2009 I moved to Miami and May 2010 we were married and we couldn't be happier together.

Also Warcraft here, though we started talking romantically in May 2011 and by October 2011 I was visiting her. Hopefully my last 'visit' is this July as I'll be frantically looking for and applying for work.

online, we had mutual friends on facebook.....started talking to each other. I had a Vegas trip planned for me and my gf's so i told him if you wanna meet up with some of ur friends in Vegas that'd be fun....plus if we didn't like each other in person at least we are in Vegas and it wouldn't be a waste of time lol. We've been married for 4 years now!

We worked at the same drug store. I was 18 and she was 16. It was love at first site for me. For her, not so much, but I eventually won her over.

fell drunkenly into his lap at a mutual friend's party...... good times


well technically we'd met before but I don't believe we'd really talked!

Met mine in Highschool and been together ever since.. married for 20ys.. :bigsmile:

On MySpace! This was back when MySpace was actually cool... but online dating does work!

Highschool sweethearts

I became friends with a woman at work, who was dating his father. We started dating in September of 2009, got engaged in November of 2009, and were married in January of 2010. We've been married for 2 1/2 years (and my friend is still dating his father).

I met my husband in the parking lot of my sister's apartment complex. I looked like hell warmed over because I had just gotten off work from my second job that evening and I wasn't in the best mood either. For whatever reason, I caught his attention and he called me two weeks later (my sister gave him my number), we went out on our first date on the 4th of July and the rest is history.....14 years going strong.
