Let's do a fun one for a change guys. Best story wins best answer!How did you meet your spouse/significant other?
I met my husband through my cousin. Because he was interested in her lol.
They had dated previously beforehand. He was working out of town, and had been chatting on the phone with her off and on for a few months. He came home for a family funeral one weekend, and decided he wanted to ask her out again.
She kept putting him off and saying no and so then he decides to ask for my help, since she's my best friend. So I say yes. I do everything in my power to try to get these two together!!!! One night, I arranged for them to both come and help me decorate my house for the holidays. He shows up, but she doesnt. I call and call her, and she says I've just had a shower, my hair is wet and I don't want to get sick. I'll be down in an hour. Okay so an hour goes by, and she doesn't know. I call her back and she says, ';I'm not interested and I don't know how to tell him.'; I get off the phone and it isnt my place to let him know how she feels, so I tell him she's not coming and I dont know why. We hung out that night, and we clicked. He stopped calling her, and he starts calling me. We talked on the phone every single night for a month. He came home for Christmas on December 21st of 2005. We started dating. In June of 06, he asked for my hand in marriage. On July 7th, of this year, we were married. SHE WAS MY MAID OF HONOR!! lol..
We're so happy together and so deeply in love. I thank her everyday lol.
It was a bit weird at first, but everything is cool now. We all hang out together and double date.
Life couldnt be better!How did you meet your spouse/significant other?
Saw him online on an enthusiast board. Talked in IM's and email for a while, then I went to meet him face to face 2 1/2 hours away two states over.
We are now together for over four years and getting married June 2008.
At church. He was visiting his brother, who was our priest.
I met my husband at our old work place in a restaurant. I was the hostess and he was the food server. It was a Super Bowl Sunday (Cowboys vs. Bears) and I sat in an area waiting for my orientation near a bar. I noticed this cute guy walking by serving his tables. Then I saw him again during my orientation. He was eating during his break. We both were introduced. I thought he was really cute. Well, we became co-workers. I always looked forward to work. I would get there early enough to see him and talk for a moment. I loved it when I sat people in his section and how sometimes I'd be following behind him and checking out his bum-bum. It would just make my night. Well 2 months working together (no one had a clue that I had a crush on this guy), his shift ended and I was still working. We both said bye and he walked out the door. He turned around and walked back in and asked if I wanted to go out and watch a movie (Jackie Chan movie). I said sure. Not even an hour went by and he calls and asked if I had a bf or if I was married because he didn't want to get into trouble. I said nope! Well, we went to the movies and had a few drinks. Nothing happened for the next 3 dates. It was just casual dates. Well, I don't know who kissed who first but from that moment on, things got serious. It was so amazing to be dating him. No one at work had any idea that we dated until one night, we all went clubbing after work and finally the secret was out. After 3 months of dating, our co-workers found out. Now it's been 11 yrs later and we have a beautiful daughter together. He's a wonderful husband, father, and provider. I appreciate him more everytime someone asks this question.
Picture it, A high school parking lot, Your 15 years old, You arrived at school with your friends, you pull in to the parking lot and pull in to a beautiful 1964 Buick Skylark convertible. You fall in love with the car, and wonder who would bring such a gorgeous car to a hostile place? You spend the day asking everyone you know who owns that car, Suddenly you find him, in your science class, He over hears you talking about this car, He walks up to you and says ';It's mine, You like it?'; You lay you eyes on him and that鈥檚 it, He's the man of your dreams. That鈥檚 how it happened with my husband and I. From that day on him and I have spent 28 years restoring these beautiful cars. Of course I love him for more then just the cars. But it was that car that made me search. We wish we still had that car, but it's all part of life.
I was at the park for my friends birthday party. she and I went to a Catholic high school together and she had invited a bunch of kids from her neighborhood that went to the public school. He was sitting across the park alone so I went over to talk to him and he offered me some of his soft drink , and we talked for a long time. When my girlfriend saw she said it must be true love because he never shared his soda with anyone. We dated for a year and a half then were married for 27 yrs. Now divorced...but that's another story
I met him in India. It was an arranged marriage. But God's hand was in it though. Yeah, it sounds so cliche' but true. I didn't want an arranged marriage, for all the reasons most americans say no to this type of nuptual. But I figured, that the guys in India were ready, even if I wasn't....so I decided to give him a fair shake. Ok, I met him because his cousin came to see me and I told him I didn't want an arranged marriage. He went to a wedding where my husband and his family were. He told him about me. Then my guy wanted to meet me. We met...didn't say much, and exchanged #'s. Our families were cool with each other. We courted for three months. I told him i wasn't for arrangments, but I told him I wanted to marry him. I did, i didn't know y. I just fell head over heels. So through it all, he just kept in mind that I wanted to marry him, and I guess ignored all the other crap i was saying about arranged marriages. Through the whole ordeal, he kept reassuring me that I'll be a good wife, and we'll do fine in a marriage. We've been married a little under four months now, and everything's going strong so far. I just miss him though. Oh well...he'll be here before I know it.
He used to be my boss.
i had a second job at the Bone Fish Grill as a key manager and she was the hostess and we kinda started a mild relationship nothing serious BUT THEN....... hurricane katrina came through our town and as i lay in bed still trashed from the hurricane party the night before she came over drug me out of bed and took me up north to her granparents house. my house was completely gone (nothing but a foundation slab) when we got back we have been together ever since and we will be married in march
I met my husband on my front door step...literally.
My sister was at my house one day, and a friend of her's came to pick her up to go out for the evening. My ';husband'; was a mutual friend and was along for their outing. Since my sister is handicapped and was in a wheelchair at that time, the two guys helped me bring her and her chair off the porch.
I never asked his name, and really had no interest in dating anyone at that time as I has just bought a new house and was tied up with work and college and life in general.
About a week later, these same guys had a Halloween party and invited my sister....and since she could not drive, I took her and was asked to stay. My ';husband'; asked me to play pool to finish out their foursome. For the rest of the night he kept asking me if I wanted to have ';a lifelong affair'; with him....and of course in my blindness, I didn't see that he was hitting on me.
For the next week after that, he would call my house and ask if my sister was there....haha....then finally, he got up the nerve to ask me to go to dinner and the movies. Oddly enough, I almost did not go! He showed up at my door with flowers and acted like a true gentleman. After the date he shook my hand and left, but, according to him, he was home a whole 10 minutes before he called and asked me to go out again the next night.
Needless to say, I never dated anyone else after that. We have been together for 16 years, with 11 of those as husband and wife.
Through school we met,The nightlife after a few drinks on the town. He looked very nice after a few... Then realty hit home the teens life of experimenting are over, A baby boy is born then comes the real life a mother of all...
In a bar and drunk. He lost my number but three years later engaged and getting married,
My fiance and I met at the laundromat. I worked there and he was a patron. We talked while I cleaned. We all hit it off really well. I say all because we both had kids. We have been together five and a half years now (engaged four and a half). I think that the best relationships come along when you aren't looking.
We met on a blind date. Now we've been together for over 4 years and are getting married 08/02/08. He's my best friend.
In college. We were both the same major - civil engineering (CE). Every year in May, the CE department has a banquet where they hand out awards (there is a competition every year around April with a lot of events, some of them engineering related, some not). Well, I had participated in an event, and my guy had just transferred into the school a few months earlier, so he had only been involved in a different event and didn't have time to go to the competition. I got there with one of my friends and sat at a table, and my guy arrived kinda late, and there weren't many seats left, and he ended up sitting at my table. Well, we started talking, and ended up just talking to each other the whole evening. He looked up my school email address over the following weekend and sent me an email asking me out. We have both since graduated, and have been together over 3 years. We hope to be married next year.
He and I knew each other all of our lives. His parents rented an apartment my grandparents owned before we were born (we're only 6 days apart). He and I really hated each other most of our childhood and didn't start being somewhat friendly to one another till we were about 16. After that we slowly started becoming friends. Now if you look at us, we look like one of the happiest couples there could be. It's still a shock to us that we're even together given our past. We have a really good story of how we got together but I don't have enough time to type all of that too.
I met my husband on a Yahoo military chat about 3 1/2 yrs ago. He was in Iraq at the time and would only come online for about 5 mins everyday, so i called him the ';mistery guy'; lol because i would talk to him for so little. One day we decided to exchange numbers but around that time i was dealing with a really bad break up, he was getting ready for another deployment and wanted to come see me, we lived 2 hours away from each other, but i was so hurt by the break up that i told him that i was ready for a relationship so he never came to see me. He left for his deployment on June '06 , around July '06 we started emailing each other everyday, 4 to 5 times a day, everything was doing great when i got caught up on another guy at the same time and started dating him, i had to tell my now husband the truth and so i did, he told me that he respected my decision so we stopped talking. About 3 months later i wanted to get rid of this guy because i was always thinking of my now husband, so i tried breaking up with him and he wouldn't let me but finally one day he confesed that he had cheated on me, i was a bit hurt, so i emailed my now husband telling him everything i went through and he was there for me the whole time, he helped get through it all and even told me he would wait for me and he did, In November 15th we started dating, on New year's after the countdown he proposed to me, and we just had a beautiful wedding on July 14th 2007, it took a long timefor us to get together and we went through a lot but we're together now and it's what matters....
I hope you like my story!! :)
i went to a strip club and i gave her a couple of dollar bills.
I met my husband at work. I worked at vons (grocery store) as a courtesy clerk and my husband worked in the gas station at vons. One day I was outside pushing in the carts and he was outside wiping down the pumps, I asked him how much he made working outside in the gas station. He said he made 6.35 an hour. I laughed and said so that means if we ever went out on a date I would have to pay cause I make more then you... he laugh and said no. Later on that week ..he asked one of my friends who we also worked with for my number and he ended up calling me and we went on our first day.... needless to say he ended up paying!!!
he is my bf.. heres how i met him...
there was a guy who messaged me on myspace just to tell me he liked the song i had on my page (it was one of his all time fav songs)
so we wrote each other and chatted on yahoo a coupel times.. nothing really though
then one day about a month later, me messaged me on yahoo and said ';are you my neighbor';?
i had not previously told him where i lived other then the town (wich has a population of nearly 40,000)
apparently his brother was at his apt and was watching out the window for his mom to pick him up and saw a girl carrying in laundry and siad he thoguht it was ';that girl on your myspace';.... my bf didnt believe him so he looked out and he was like no way.. cant be.. so he messaged me to ask me if i was his neighbor. I asked him where he lived- same place as me and same buildign but i played it off saying ';oh my friend lives there'; wich was true... i had a friend who lived on the 3rd floor of my building.. so not only was he my neighbor- he lived in apt 3 and me in 2.. we were close as neighbors could possibly be! so we decided since we basically knew each other already we amy as well meet jsut to hang out.. wich was cool.. wed hang out and talk and stuff and i thoguht he didnt like me (but he did)... then the more we talked the more coincidences we came across... like a guy i mentioned being really good friends with (ill call him justin).... well aparently justin's mom and my bfs mom were the best of freinds when my bf and justin were kids.... then he mentioned sumthin about his cousin who lived in these apts on campus like 4 yrs prior .. come to find out- his cousin was my ';roomate';... he was actually jsut a feeloader.. but yea...
and my bf had been at that apt many times and yet i dont remember him at all!
we have been together a lil over a year now :)
I used to live in Eastern Europe and moved back to Canada about a year and a half ago. When I got home I had ';reverse culture shock'; and didn't feel I could stay there, so I moved across the country and stayed with my uncle for a few weeks before meeting a girl who had two roommates and they needed a 4th person for their house.
So, I moved into the 4th bedroom. There was this slightly nerdy guy who also lived there, and we instantly became joined at the hip! We were best friends pretty quickly and did everything together. We hung out after work every single day and also on the weekends.
After six months, I moved out to be closer to work and one day we had ';the talk'; (he started it) and the rest is history! I was freaking out because I didn't want to lose our friendship, but it's been almost 18 months and we're so perfect together.
By the way - I came to this city saying I'd only be here for six months (it's been 20 months so far) and that I didn't want to date anyone while I was here! So much for those ideas. ;o)
In a bar. Was there with my ex. Queen's ';Bohemian Rhapsody'; was playing. My SO was playing air guitar and making eyes with me. I later broke up with the ex and kept running into my SO. My SO was relentless. He took me out on a date, we had our first kiss, my head started spinning and the rest is history. That kiss sealed it for me. I just KNEW he was the one. :)
Elementary school. 2nd grade when we were 7.
I met my husband at college, i was going to visit my brother in the computer lab and when i walked past my husband he fell off the chair and just happened to be looking up my skirt, a concerned friend of my brothers informed him that glenn was perving on his sister, this was to glenns advantage cos he now knew my full name and was able to look me up in the email system, after 3 weeks of emails he finally got the courage to ask me out, the rest is history
In a yahoo chat room, not sure which one it was though. I think that they got rid of it, maybe a Greensboro or North Carolina chat in June 2005. I had just went through a SERIOUSLY horrible break up and had moved in with my parents temporarily , I had no night life so I chatted on line in the evenings. Same for him, we both worked odd schedules. I think we were the only real people in the chat room the rest were porn bots. I don't remember talking in it, just sitting and he sent me a private message asking how I liked being a EMT, so we chatted for a few weeks and talked on the phone..for long periods of time. Then we went out on our first date on my 21st birthday :) I couldn't have found a nicer, caring, generous, Christian man so It was a pretty good birthday present. He lived about 40 mins away and after being inseparable for 4 months, we moved in together and now we are getting married Dec. 1st 2007. Seventy some more days to go, Thanks Yahoo!! You were good for one really great thing. It's amazing how God works miracles over the internet.
I work at Sam's Club. HUGE store, so obvously when a new girl starts there, all the guys are all over it. LOL So i was the new girl about 2 years ago. And there was this one guy who worked in the produce department, which was right next to my department, that I knew liked me. But he would never talk to me other then to say hi. I knew he liked me but I was SO not into him, and he would have his friend ask me for my number. I would tell them that if it was for him then to just tell him I had a boyfriend, because I didn't want anything to do with him. He was creepy, he would literally trip over boxes, and drool when I walked by. (I'm not that good looking)
One day, I was talking to a friend of mine about how stupid men are, and he was standing right behind her, kind of easy dropping. And so I looked at him and said, 'This idiot likes me, but doesn't even have the balls to ask me out. Not even to get some coffee on our lunch break' So he completely stops what he was doing, and told me that we were going to starbucks. Ummmm creepy guy, is pulling me around... ok. Well he had just gotten into work, about an hour before, and I only had an hour left before I went home. So we had a 15 minute break to spend together. Well An hour and a half later, we went back into work. I had the best time with this man, that I thought was creepy in an hour and a half then I had, had in my whole life. As soon as we got back to work, we walked right back out and played miniture golf and lazer tag. And you know those claw machines??? He spent about $20 on one of those to try and get me something, and finally I asked him for a quarter and on the first try I got him a scooby-doo stuff doggy. And so now every time we're anywhere that has one of those machines we HAVE TO get something. I have a whole room of stupid stuffed things. Anyways though, I fell in love that night. I never knew that I could be that happy, and I wanted to spend everyday with him.
This past new years eve we went to Las Vegas, on the strip. This idiot wanted to wear this super huge jacket that night and I didnt understand why. Because it was so so so hot. Well when the clock stuck 12 and the fireworks went off he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I didn't say yes, I just yelled at him that he was kneeing on the dirtiest ground ever. Eventually I said yes. And as soon as I did my phone rang, it was my parents calling to congradulate me, and then my sister called, and then my gramma then my brothers, then my friends. Everyone knew what was going on except me. He amazes me everyday that we're together.
