How did you meet your spouse/bf/gf?

I met Jonathan in elementary school, then in high school we dated for a while but broke up before we went our separate ways. We both went to colleges in Washington, but he went to my rival school. I hated my school, so I ended up transferring to his. I really had no intention of meeting up with him again, and he didn't know I was there. I ended up with a chemistry partner who was a member of his fraternity, and he ended up asking me out to a cocktail party at the house. I went and low and behold, there is Jonathan on the front steps of the house handing out 21 bracelets! I took one and went inside although I had no intention of drinking (I don't drink ever). My date ended up getting totally hammered and Jonathan wasn't drinking either, so we had a few dances and he invited me upstairs to talk. So we went up to his room and spent the night until about 3:30 in the morning talking and catching up. From that moment on, we were inseperable. I lived in an apartment about 3 miles away, so he would wake up on the weekends and jog over (he's a runner) and we would eat breakfast together and do homework and stuff like that. Two years later, he proposed to me, and we were married 5 months after that... I love my husband so much! This brings back so many fond memories! Kiss

DH and I met in graduate school. I had NO intention of dating him. I wouldn't even let him know where I lived at first. Now, here we are, 17 years after first meeting each other, married with two kids.

I'm recently single for those who don't know. But I had met my partner when my roommate asked me to fill in on a date she had to cancel!

Oh my, I thought everyone on this board and folks from New York to San Francisco has heard our story! I DON"T remember life without knowing him!

I was in first grade, he in second grade. We sang in the Teen Church Choir/School Choir together. We both played basketball and rode to all the games on the bus together. I remember us joking and laughing and having a good time then.

I dated one of his best friends. He was athletic and shy, you know the type Wink

......but we had the same friends and were always around each other.
He tells me now it was because he had such a crush on me Embarassed

We had ONE date when I was a Senior and he in College. We went roller skating[that was big then and we're both good skaters]. We didn't have another date, my choice! I was not getting mixed up with a home town guy, not me!

We saw each other one time in 1960 and another in 1966 briefly to say," hi and how are you"!

I saw him the next time in 1979 after a football game and thought he looked wonderful! He says he got chill bumps on his arms seeing me then also!
There was definite chemistry Wink

Our next chance encounter was in May, 1983. He was turning the corner going
to his parents, I was turning the opposite corner going to my Mom's house.
We chatted for a bit and he said, "I'll call you". I said, "you do that"!

He called THREE WEEKS later. Says he didn't want me to think he was anxious Roll Eyes

We went dancing, and the instant we stepped on the dance floor lightening struck
and I knew this was where I was supposed to be the rest of my life.
Love is also very comfortable when it hits one!

Now for the months of running away and back to him..........................
Ok, so I spent the next few months going out with him, then going back to
Dallas and being with my friends and the doctor I'd dated for several years.

In Texas we call this "backtracking" to keep us out of the inevitable Kiss

After Christmas of 1984, we were driving home after dancing , well I was driving!
He had consumed a few beers [well several] and said to me, "If I say I love you, we'll be married in six months!" Talk about Lips Sealed

, I was! I threw on the brake of my car and looked at him and said, "well, do you?" He replied, "Yeah, I do!"

After this night I ended all contact with the former boyfriend. Talk about one surprized guy! He was, for he thought he would chase other skirts as long as he wanted and I would be their waiting for him to settle down! NOT!
Common sense struck and I knew he would never change. I know that I was not "IN LOVE" with him and probably never was! We had a very social life and he liked having me to show off! I didn't need that, I wanted love and comfort.
So that part of my life ended.

On a nice Spring day we took a picnic lunch to the lake, sat there and planned our wedding. Our high school friend is a florist so it didn't take six months to get it all together. she took over and did a beautiful job on our wedding.

We were married at the First Baptist Church on June 30, 1984 Tongue

I do believe that was about SIX months from the time he said, "I love you"!

Acapulco was our destination for oour Honeymoon. Tongue

It was wonderful watching the whales, but that is another chapter indeed.................................

I hadn't heard the story before! It is so amazing how you can reconnect with people from your past and find the love of your life... sigh... I'm a hopeless romantic! Tongue

I love big guys and when Carl started working where I worked I was attrated to him right away. We did small talk for a while, and I asked him out a few times and he turned me down (all 3 times) but hell i wasnt taking no for answer, I really liked this guy. So finally I said to myself one more time, i asked him if he wanted to go swimming at the beach and he finally said yes...WoooHooo!!!
Things started off slow and ended quickly, I was heart broken, I had the best time of my life in the short 2 months that we were together, but the time just wasnt right for him.
I let him go and well he came back to me, we just couldnt be a part, and now it has been over 2 years and I am so happy. I knew that Carl was for me and Im so happy that i was patient.

I met by bf when i was 16 years old. I was dating his best friend at the time. He, my bf and I, and another friend were all going bowling. He was a nice enough guy, didn't think too much about it though.

A couple times i would call over my bf house and he would be there and my bf would have to help his mom with something and would hand the phone to Andrew. We talked a lot like that, nothing funny going on,just becoming friends.

Well my bf and I broke up. It was a rough breakup because my mom had just died and he decided it would be the perfect time to dump me and date MY best friend. I was utterly devastated. I couldn't think straight for months. Cried a lot. Lost my mom, my bf and my best friend in only 2 short months.

I talked to andrew on the phone occasionally. Just friend stuff, he was a good listener. I had a feeling he liked me as more than a friend but i was NOT ready to go there again, so i left it at just talking for about a year. Then i got my license and he was actually the friend that lived closest to me (about a 20 min drive) so we did stuff together, mostly movies. Strictly platonic. No hand holding.no flirting, nothing.

All my friends started saying we were going out. Well i vehemently denied this. We were FRIENDS.

After HS i went off to college and I made a point to tell him i was excited about going to a school with guys (i went to an all girls HS). He didn't say anything about that.

I came home from college most weekends and we started hanging out again. Eventually one thing led to another and in the middle of Jurassic Park II he kissed me and i kissed him back. That was 5 years and 5 months ago

We broke up last year for about 2 moments just to straighten ourselves out. Things were getting nasty and we fought all the time about stupid crap. Finally he did something totally dumb i didn't speak to him for almost a week and we broke up.

He was not happy about this at all and 2 days after we broke up he called and said he wanted to talk. He said maybe breaking up was premature (since we didnd't even discuss it, it just happened over a fight). So we took some time away from each other and realized we didn't like it, but we needed time to get our outside selves back to where we needed to be to make eachother happy.

Boy did it work GOOD! we fight 90% less than we did before and things are so much better! I am hoping withing the next 2=3 years he starts thinking of the "M" word!!

i was studying Nutrition 100 with a friend that I had known since jr. high in her dorm room... abby walks in from down the hall (my friend and her lived down the hall from each other)

we were introduced...

we lied on the bed staring at the ceiling... talking

the rest as they say is history... at that point, I knew... she is the one...

Oh Pau, you don't need that kind of hurt. Remove yourself from where she is and stop Undecided

over her. Go meet other people and soon for your own sanity!
