How did you meet your significant other? boyfriend, husband, fiance, fling

[MAC_Pixie04]

My boyfriend saw my picture on a mutual friend's Myspace and said he absolutely had to meet me. He would arrange for his friend to invite me to places like parties and whatnot so that he could "accidentally" bump into me and get to know me. Well, it didn't work lol. He had his friend invite me to 2 different parties, and each time I didn't wanna go or couldn't go. Our friend kept telling me that he had someone he wanted me to meet, and I didn't wanna go through that awkward encounter, as it had blown up on me before. So poor Andrew would make himself look really nice so he could "accidentally" meet me lol. Since it didn't work out his way, he decided to just email me on Myspace without my knowing he was friends with my friend. We started talking on the phone, and finally met at the beach. Then he came to my birthday party with our mutual friend and I was able to piece things together. It's been over a year and we've had our ups and downs, but this evening at dinner he toasted to "the best year and a half of his life."

we were working together at the same restaurant. i was front of the house & he was in the kitchen, so we never really mingled. it wasn't until about 4 months after he started working there that we really met.

i was in the kitchen one day, and...
he said: wow!
i said: what?
he said: you have a really beautiful smile
i blushed & smiled & giggled like a silly little school girl

i remember giving another co-worker a ride home that night and saying, "i think he kind of likes me!"

the following week, we went out on our first date to this little cafe and spent the rest of the night just strolling around.

anyway, when we got to gearing up for the big goodbye, he tried to put a little game on me... (keep in mind he's from Palau, a small pacific-island country)

he said: you know, we have a custom in Palau, that when a guy and a girl go out and have a really good time, its kind of a custom that, you know...

i couldn't take it any longer, i grabbed his chin/jaw between my thumb and the rest of my fingers, pulled him in close, and tada! that was our first kiss.

a few days later he told me he loved me. that was over a year ago, and we've been together ever since.

and that is my own little love story!

well, i met my man in 2004 in african american studies class..i went to sit in my seat and then looked saw the man of my dreams..he caught my eye..i had to find some way to talk to him..i found out he was in another one of my classes..so with us in 2 classes, it gave me some reason to talk to him...i approached him and would ask him how he did on his papers and test grades..he would answer my questions and walk away!

..upsetting! but i wasnt gonna give up..before class one day, we stood outside and talked for about 15 minutes...and then went into class..after class, i was hoping he would wait for me since we talked for those wonderful 15 minutes, and he ended up waiting..he walked me to my dorm room and he stayed over..he told me he was already talking to someone, but he stayed anyways..we talked more and i fed him some grapes while we watched training day (sounds fast huh?..trust me it was harmless)..we exchanged numbers and he went to work..i called him first that night (couldnt wait)..he told me he stopped talking to the girl to talk to me..we had our first date a few days later (and the first kiss)..we made it official a week after our first date (which was our 2nd date) and have been together ever since

I met my husband online in February 2003 when I was 22 and he was 26. I was living in Japan at the time and was looking for other local English-speakers to hang out with and maybe date. Well, I forgot I still had my Florida location in my info for a few days but I soon changed it to my Tokyo info. Somehow that didn't get changed in the computer system and I then came up for searches in both Tokyo and my part of Florida. That's how he found me, but was puzzled to see Tokyo on my profile. Despite the distance he wrote to me asking if I had a connection to Florida.

We were email friends for a few months until I came home to visit that Summer and we hung out at Busch Gardens, not really a date per se, just having fun. Well, by the next outing we admitted we liked eachother and on about our 4th outing we admitted we were in love.

We had a great few weeks, but I was under contract and had to go back to work in Japan. I was able to come back and visit for 2 weeks in December, but a few meeks after that he left for Iraq for a year with his National Guard unit. That was the worst year of my life. He proposed to me in May 2004 via webcam (nerds!).

I came home in the Summer of 2004, he came home in January 2005, and on April Fool's Day 2005, after spending the better part of 2 years in different countries, we finally got married. We've been very happy (and in the same city) ever since.

And all because of a computer glitch that didn't immediately fix my information. Thank God for the Internet!

How I met my woman...
well it was a reall bad situation, but im my case..you cant help who you like. Well it started like this. She use to be one of my friends Ex girlfriend(how bad is that). I got to meet her long after they broke up, and i instantly just fell for her....to make a long story short...we creeped...but, eventually i had to tell my friend. She was mad, but she got over it.

Its quite a funny story...
I met my boyfriend summer 2006.

My best friend's Uncle married my boyfriend's ex. My friend's uncle and my boyfriend got to be friends(my guy taught him to play guitar) and my friend's uncle told my friend about the band my guy was in at the time and my friend knew about him and stuff.

Well my friend and I were at a music store in the mall one day and my friend recognized him and she goes up to him and says, "You're Jonathan, you know my Uncle David." We all got introduced and became pretty close friends over the next few months.
We always had an attraction to one another.

Anyways, we all went to one of his band's shows one night and he dropped me off at home and I asked if he wanted to watch a movie. So he came in and we hung out. We ended up having our first kiss at like 4am.

Over the next few days we hung out and kissed more, lol, and he was over one night and he said, "I know you're not really looking for a relationship right no or anything but when you are I'll be ready."

I was freaking out inside, in a good way. A few minutes later I asked him to be my boyfriend. We've been dating for about 9 months :]

 

[messhead]

Wow... I haven't posted in quite a while!!!

Embarrassing as it is, I met my fiance cruising! lol!

We became best friends and spent every moment outside of school and work together, then he got a possessive girl friend and 'couldn't' be friends anymore. He signed up for the Army and left after high school and I didn't hear from him.

So three years later while I was in the Sheriff's Academy I run into him (He had just started the academy, I was seven months into it.) He gave me his number and shortly we realized that we were supposed to be together.

So here we are a year and a half later and we're getting married in September '08.... yay!!!

 

[thestarsfall]

We had divine intervention

well...really it was just a youth pastor. My youth pastor at my church used to be my boyfriend's youth pastor. And so our youth pastor decided to have his old youth group up to visit our youth group and my boyfriend hung around me and my friend ALL WEEKEND. I thought he had a crush on my friend, but it turns out he just thought I was hot so he followed me around (he's shy). I originally thought he was weird and scary hahah...

anyway we got to emailing each other and then my youth group visited his youth group and we hung out again...and then emailed each other until I was in 1st year at university and he visited (his friend also goes to my school) and then I went to his house for easter weekend and we were at this thinger making lunch and the guy goes:
"so, I have a question which you can reply: yes, no, or shut the hell up"
me: uh...
guy: are you two dating?
I look at my boyfriend (we werent official at the time)
He looks at me...we both look awkward
guy: so....eat any good mustard lately?

Later that night he finally asked me out...

and we havebeen going out for almost 2.5 years (will be 2.5 yrs on the 25th of this month -sept-)

I met my boyfriend through a guy that I dated for like a month, and really didn't like him at first. I thought he was a conceited, arrogant asshole who thought all girls should just be falling over themselves for a chance to get with him. Not to mention everytime we were around each other it was when I was either going out to the clubs or just coming home, so I was always all dressed up, I thought that he probably assumed I was some skank that he could get with. Lol.

Even worse, he told my ex-roommate at the time that if he (my roommate) could get me to hang out with him (bf) then he would clear the $200 debt that my roommate owed him, I ended up finding out and wasn't too impressed, what did he think I was? lol.

We ended up having to hang out with each other one afternoon due to some work related stuff. Turns out, after actually getting to know him, he was a surprisingly friendly, fun to be with, and not at all stuck-up guy. Now I feel kinda bad for judging him so badly at first.

I met my boyfriend on ICQ (like msn if you haven't heard of it), he looked up people who liked punk music and we liked the same bands so he sent me a message that just said "hi" and we talked from then on.

 

[amoona]

I met my BF through one of my friends. They all went to the same school and hung out in the same political student group. I went one day to one of their meetings and he told my friend he thought I could (in his words) "be a hot house wife". lol. That made me laugh but kinda freaked me out until I learned thats just his silly sense of humor. We been together 3 years now.

 

[MsButterfli]

we work in the same office, different areas but we see each other throughout the day, its secretive since i hate people in my business but hes told who he wants to know so no one tries to come at me lol. and working together has allowed us to sneak away for some bomb ass sexcapades whooohoooo lol

That is simply hilarious.

I basically fell asleep in his arms. We were watching a movie with a few friends at my place and we ended up inching together and cuddling and then we both fell asleep and din't wake up until the next morning. It was honestly the best sleep of my life, and it didn't hurt to wake up to a kiss on the forehead! My friends that were with us last night had left on their own, and told us the next day that we looked so cute, they didn't want to disturb fate by being in the way the next morning. haha!

I met my boyfriend on Oasis newsgroup (kinda like a forum, but not) in 1997. I had written something funny, and he emailed me about it.. and ended up sending me an ICQ invite. I couldn't get the damn thing to download, haha, so he sent me the installation file via email. We ended up chatting every now and then, and I didn't see anything more to it.. I was a girl who had never dated in her life.. AND.. he lived in England. I lived in Canada. We became really close, to the point where we were talking everyday, and sometimes talking on the phone for a bit as well.. and he sent me a Valentine's present!

The next summer, my Aunt was going to England on a trip.. and my Mom bought airfare for me to go with her.. my Mom spoke to Tim's Mom about me staying with them for a few days since Tim and I were so close, and it was allowed.. but we were both given speeches on unacceptable behaviour..

haha

So.. I ended up visiting him for 4 days, we hit it off really well.. he was my first kiss and he told me loved me.. to which I replied 'me too'

It was really wonderful, but after I was back home, and reality of me having another year of high school left, and he was just going into college.. we realised that there was no hope in hell and decided to stay friends!

So we kept in touch for years, the only thing we never talked about was our relationships we were having, but we discussed everything else.. we didn't speak as much as we used to but still kept in touch.

Last March, the girl he had been dating for like.. 7 years broke up with him.. and even though I was dating someone, I was really unhappy.. I felt I had to say something. I waited until August, to make sure he was over the other girl.. and asked him if he thought we would still be together if we had lived closer.. and we got into this big huge discussion about how we both still had feelings, and that we would have been together all this time had it not been cos of the distance.

He said he wanted to visit me right away, but since I was dating someone else, I said no. However, it was a bad relationship with someone who used me for my money, and always put me down.. it was only a few months before I realised this, and broke up with him. When I told Tim, he asked me if he could come visit me over Christmas. We spent a week together, and it was so amazing, it was like we picked up right where we left off the last time we saw one another.

I visited him in March, and he visited me again in June.. and I moved over here on a two year visa in August.. we're living with his roommate right now, but we are going to be moving into our own apartment on Sept 21.. I can't wait

Sorry for such a long post!

I met my boyfriend about 6 years ago thru , AOL!

It was a really really late AOL chat session back when I was 18.. and I was on AOL a lot, ( I never use AOL or AIM anymore..or any other online chat anymore)

I decided to be crazy and meet up with someone I had only talked to a few hours ( Hey I was 18 and made stupid decisions) thankfully this decision was a great one.
We actually met in January He was super shy and didn't say 3 words to me the whole day, I decided he hated me, so I stopped talking to him, then one day I saw him online about a month and a half later and decided "Eh , I'll try chatting with him again" we went out again, he talked to me more, and we have been together ever since!

Haha!! same thing with me and my boyfriend... At first I was like " this guy is a little creepy.. he sure isn't saying much..."

 

[dollbaby]

I met my boyfriend my junior year in highschool. I saw him going to his locker one day while I was going to one of my classes & I had never seen him before. I followed him everyday, taking the same route I did the first time I seen him (yeah i know major stalker haha). I then realized he was in my choir class (it took me two months into school to realize it haha, and the only reason I knew was because the teacher was taking attendance and he was absent lol!)

Turns out he was my bestfriend's boyfriends friend haha! 6 years later we are still together going stronger than ever!
