Alright ladies, let's hear the stories! I love these type of stories because it's great to think about what we might have missed had it not been for this chance encounter. Doesn't have to be current or anything- your favorite or maybe most unusual?

I will post mine later when I have a bit more time =)

I met Ian through mutual friends, we were both active in the local car scene so we know each other for quite some time before we ever actually started dating.

I love this subject!! I was on a interview panel, and we gave him an interview, and he got the job! After that, we worked a cubicle away from each other, became best friends. Turns out he lived 2 houses from mine all his childhood...he was 4 years older than me, so I never really knew him. And, 8 years later, still together, married!

My boyfriend and I met through a mutual friend in high school. He thought we'd be good together and started inviting him out to lunch with us. We dated for a little, grew apart for six years, and then got back together a year ago. Now he's stuck with me! haha

Co-ed softball league. We were both a few good months out of bad relationships and NOT looking for a partner. Isn't that always the way?

I met my boyfriend Julian in 6th grade, hmm, around lunchtime.

I was chasing this one boy named George around the school, idk why, yeah so I was running around he was running around. He went up to these group of guys some I knew, some I didn't, and he said something about me chasing him nonstop, Julian happened to be in this group. George probably said that I was a bitch, or whatever I don't recall, and so Julian, being the little $%^#$ that he is, THREW his cup of noodles or ramen at my head. So it got my hair all wet. I wanted to cry right then and there. I didn't do anything but walked away.

After that day, I said to myself, Julian is one big meanie.

But as time went on, I just forgot how mad I was and I said to myself, that's nothing, I shouldn't hold a grudge. I mean we were stupid back then.

So during the 9th grade, I had some classes with Julian, and let's say that I always looked forward to those classes. Julian, always made me laugh. He was just so random. During that year was when we became better friends.

10th grade rolled along and that's when I started to notice Julian more. Like not just as a friend. In my head I was like "oh my gosh, I think I like him.." Once I realized that I didn't know how to act around him. I'd find myself staring at him. haha not cool.

So around October of 10th grade, I was talking to julian, and then I was about to tell that I liked him, but then I got scared and just stopped talking and told him I had to go. I tried to tell him a couple of times, but each time I was scared about what he would say. Each time, I was like "Julian, what if......" and I would just end it there.

During October he would pester me about those times I tried telling him.

Out of no where Julian is like, "I want to tell u something," and I'm like "What is it?" He couldn't tell me in person. He wrote a little note, and gave it to me, and he told me, "Read it later." And so when he left I read the note and it said "I like U" and I swear my heart just melted. The next day I wrote in a little piece of paper, " I like u too " On the same piece of paper, he wrote back saying "Go out with me" and then I wrote back saying "Ask me in person" and once he got the note he was like "Go out with me?" and so I said yes. October 27, 2006.

I met him 2 years ago because we were friends with the same people. But I never talked to him when he was there because I thought that he hated me. And also, he was with his psycho ex back then who would have probably freaked out if he talked to a girl. Well anyway, he didn't talk to me because he thought I was stuck up.
last fall i got a random im from a sn that i didn't know saying "hey it's____ sorry for the random im but i found you on facebook and wanted to say hi"
so we talked online for 2 hours, hung out that night, hooked up, and he asked me out 5 days later. it's been 9 months =]

We were actually in the same homeroom in 6th grade but didnt know each other existed really. In 10th grade we had the same group of friends, and just like saw each other in the same places but didn't know who each other were. One night he IMed me (how romantic!) and just said "why haven't we ever hung out before?" I had no idea who he was, but I guess he had asked someone for my screenname and wanted to know me. I just knew him as the kid with the lipring that hung out with my friend Conor. I was baffled that someone would want to hang out with me when they had never even spoken to me, but I skeptically agreed and went to his house a couple days later. The magical moment came when he kissed me on the foreheada few hours into the visit. I've been hooked ever since <3

Not really a magical story at all, but what if he had never decided to IM a stranger? And what if I had made the sensible decision and said 'uh no you freak'.

I met my boyfriend at work, we worked at the same Hotel in a ski resort in Switzerland. I was waitressing in the hotel restaurant, he was working as an apprentice cook in the kitchen. We hit it off straight away, but there was this other guy at the hotel who also wanted me, so it was a really awkward situation for me! I'd never had 2 guys after me simultaneously, and I felt a bit weird about it. The other guy (who liked me, I didn't like him that much) kept playing the 3rd wheel when we went out with friends, and just wouln't go away, lol. I think finally he got the drift when my bf and I would openly kiss and hold hands in public, after that the other dude was really pissed off and didn't talk to me anymore. LOL!

Anyway, we've been together since, and it's been 8 years now!

I met mine at 13 and we started dating when I was 18. (I made the move. He was very shy. ) We got married when I was 23. I am now 40. (Eww). I have been knowing him more than 1/2 my life now. Is that right? WHEW! He is still the finest universal sexy man on the face of the Earth. That's not right my friends. It's just not! He is 4 y/rs older than I.

I made my move by directly asking him to go out for pizza and he sat next to me at the pizza place. I was so nervous, but felt so high at the same time. It was on ever since. I literally can't be mad at him long, because he is so fine. That's not right and not fair. I tell him just be quiet and let me stare at you. (tee hee)

oh yay! Cute stories!!!

My story begins two summers ago. In my city we have a place that is basically a bar district and it's outside so everyone goes there in the summer. I was out with the girls and we were at this one particular bar that you can dance at and what not. So this group of guys were several metres away and I kept looking toward them with no intention, maybe a little interest but that's it. Anyway, later this guy comes up to me and says "hey, do you know me?" and of course me being shocked the guy actually came over had a puzzled look on my face. Anyway, he tries talking to me but I find out later he is from Austria and has a really thick accent so I have no idea what he's saying. So anyway we get introduced to his group of friends and I see this one guy who looked pretty cute. I'm into either sporty guys or really conservative guys! ha! so anyway I start talking to the sporty guy and we dance and things are going well...so his buddy runs up and tells my now bf, "get her number!!!" so he takes me bnumber and I think well whatever he isn't going to call...two days later he does! and we go out and it was a fantastic night! We talked for 6 hours ina restaurant.

But we actually don't get together because I was dealing with some little stressors in my life. ie. starting university and trying out for the hockey team. So I pull the I want to be friends card on him and feel terrible about it. About a month later, I was in class and guess who walks in to supervise! ha! we had been talking online for the past month as well and after seeing him and talking to him we went out again! And we've been together ever since. Almoat 2 years!!

i met my hubby at work and it was really fate!! i got called into waitress on my night off at a pool hall i was working in (the other waitress called in sick), and my hubby was supposed to go bowling with his friends but it was leauge night so there were no lanes. he and his friends decided to play pool instead and came into the pool hall i was working at that night (even though i was supposed to be off). out of him and all his friends, my eyes only saw him. he was stareing at me and i was stareing at him, but he didnt say anything, except to place his order with me. he and his friends were about to leave and i got enough nerve to ask him out and for his phone number. that was 9 years ago and we are married 4 years now and have a 3 yr old daughter!!
