How did you meet your Significant Other?

I was out one night with a friend. I saw him and we started talking. We went out the next day and haven't been apart since.

This is such a sweet story. Scott and I met online, but we were actually sitting in the same computer lab at my college. He didn't even attend there. And he was just so happy and positive, cute and smart. Oh, and funny. It was hard NOT to fall in love with him.

Funny I almost posted this yesterday.

I met my husband 22 years ago in my highschool history class.

wow...what a story Danielle...and especially you met after long time ..this doesn't usually happen..but luck could play its role..

met him on line. i was looking for a pen pal. he was bright and funny and talented...so after a while of writing, we met....and have been together ever since. it's almost 6 years and we are engaged. have been together thru sickness and health, birth and death.......and we've been able to make each other laugh thru it all.... wouldn't trade him for a billion!!!!!

I met DH when we were in college. We knew each other for four years, graduated then lost touch only to hook up 5 years later...and the rest is history! LOL

I met him when we both worked the same place, were got engaged after about 3 months. That engagement lasted 5 years before we got married, We have been happily married for 17 years now.

Picked mine up hitchhiking (he was hitching, not me). Within a month we were living together and a year from the day we met, we got married. That was 26 years ago. :-)

I met my husband on a blind date. He worked with my best friend's mother, my friend was seriously dating a guy at the time so her mom couldn't set them up and my friend's mother said my husband was to good a guy to waste. Boy was she right! We been married 18 years now and couldn't be happier! Congrats to you, Danielle !

Because we both wore green cotton army pants, mutual friends, a married couple, set us up to meet. His Dad had retired as a lieutenant colonel. I bought jeans and the army pants for $1 each as I had lost 100 pounds and had no budget for new clothes. I made my famous beef burgundy and egg noodles, and cherries Jubilee and the guys did a tune up on my car. He looked so terribly shy I gave him a hug. We talked for hours and decided neither of us wanted anything serious just someone to go to the movies and places with. Three weeks later he asked me to marry him, I accepted 11 months later and 6 months later we wed. That was 27 years ago and no, we no longer have any green army pants. :)

My husband and I met in college. We were introduced by friends. I liked him right away

I met my husband while I was in college (We were both in our early 30s.). He was married and I was living with a so-called fiance at the time. We had one or two classes together and were lab partners in one of them. I thought he was cute and vise versa, but that was it. I didn't see him after that class and never gave another thought about him. One night while I was at work at Staples about three years later, he walked in and saw me and started asking me out. He was divorced and I was in the process of getting my life back together while my fiance was in the process of leaving me. I finally broke down and called him one day and asked him if he still wanted to go out and he said yes. The rest is history.

I met my husband when we were both on a softball team.

Very romantic.
I met my husband at a birthday party that I went to for someone else. My girlfriend dragged me out, begged for me to go, and wanted me to meet someone she wanted to set me up with. It was sapposed to be a blind date- peek. Well, the guy she wanted to set me up was homosexual. I could see it, even if he couldn't- YET. Since then he has realized his sexuality.
Then-
My future husband, was at the bar, talking to someone he went to school with and I just so happened to be standing close enough to hear all his replies, except one. "How is your wife?" was the question. I just remember it being really loud in there and his voice seeming to come out of a tunnel. Every time he said something I heard his voice. Except his response to that question. Then right after being asked that he smiled at me and asked me to dance. I said, "What about your wife," and walked away and he stood up to yell, "There's no wife!" I didn't stop walking away and he persued me to the dance floor, which took about 20 minutes to get to. Then my friend shook her booty all over him and he went right along with it, (which was really cool because she is this much older woman that is just very exuberant and some young guys would be rude about her doing that to them). Then, yet again, he asked me to go out with him and I blew him off again. I actually gave him my card for work and told him to call me the next day at work but we were closed for a long weekend. I thought he would take no for an answer when he heard that on the answering machine. He didn't. He called Monday and was so nice about it I ended up going on "one" date with him because I didn't want to blow him off again. I truely accidently left my glasses in his car and he drove to my work to return them. All the girls at my work got flustered, blushed, and stammered over him- and I went across the street with him to talk to him after work at a restaurant he wanted to wait at until I got off work. Then while I was sitting there thinking I need to get home and study... He started talking about taking his ex-wife's niece to horse riding lessons because her mom couldn't afford them and her dad was out of the picture and he thought she needed a man in her life to be nice to her, even if he no longer was married to his ex-wife. Then I looked at him and realized why everyone else was so hot and bothered by him. Except what I saw was on the inside.

I have enjoyed reading everyones stories. Thank you.

My husband was the best friend of my coursin. My cousin came to help me with something and Jeff followed along. The rest is history including over 30 years of being married, divorced, remarried and seperated. We get along OK. Just can't live together.

I still hope for that great relationship although I know my time is short.

That is such a sweet story!

We met at your friendly neighborhood Albertson's. I was starting my life over after just ending a two-year relationship and moving back to Ca. I was in no hurry to get into anything serious, but there was this store manager. He is not my "typical" guy. He is 23 years older, has kids older than I am, etc. There was just something about him.

There was a lot of subtle flirting, but nothing that I could really say, "Hey, this guy is flirting with me!" After two months of writing in my diary wondering, I said screw it. I quit the job that I hated anyway and got up the nerve to call him and ask him out for a drink. The rest is history:)

Thank gosh, I made the move, because he never would have. That was over two years ago.

1976 homeless, met this cute guy in a bowling alley.

Man was he nice to me.

Moved in with him two days later been married over 30 years now
Life is a funny thing, eh?

At a meeting. It was raining and I didn't have an umbrella and he offered to share his and when we got to my car, he asked me to go out for coffee. Over twenty years later, 3 kids and a lot of cups of coffee....still going strong :)

These stories were awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!

today is my anniversary, I thnk I will right this up in an article, thanks!

I met my hubby at work too!

I was friends with my husband's cousin and met him at the cousin's house. We ended up being friends for a long time, and then he asked me out and I accepted and we fell in love.

I met my 'forever' in an aol chat room! Until that moment, that night was one of the hardest nights of my life... I was sitting in front of my computer, blankly staring at the screen. I had never been in a chat before. I was just clicking away and I ended up in a chat. I watched the words scroll for a few minutes, not knowing anyone, not typing. Then after a few minutes, I typed in: "I'm going to go, I don't know anyone here. It was nice to 'meet' all of you. Good night." Within seconds I got in IM from someone who was in the chat asking me not to go. We talked via IM for quite a while, then our conversation moved to a phone call...THAT call not only changed my life...but saved my life! You see, as I was sitting and staring at the screen, I was contemplating suicide. I had a pile of pills in front of me on my desk. I got that IM just as I went to pick the pile up. I didn't tell this 'stranger' what I was thinking or how I was feeling that night. Our conversation at first was sweet...kind...gentle...that's what I needed just then. We haven't gone 1 day since that night without talking...either online, on the phone or in person. The next 7 months brought 4 visits (we lived 2 states apart). Then 7 months after that 1st IM, I moved from Pennsylvania to Indianapolis, IN...that was 2 yrs ago! We fall more in love every day! We are expecting our first grandbaby (It's a Girl!) in a few weeks! Between us, we have a houseful and we love every single minute of it! We have A LOT in common...we share our love of music...our love of volunteering...our love for special needs kids...our infinite love for each other...

He was a friend of my brothers and when I broke up with another boyfriend he was around and handy, and low and behold , we fell in love, married 57 years to that man and lost him last year, wish I had paid attention to him sooner and had more years with him, so he could be right under your nose all the time.

I met him at work. I was in college and worked part time at JC Penney. He was a manager and we were not suppose to date, BUT he asked me out several times before I said yes. We went out to Denny's after work one night. We dated the entire time he worked there without anyone knowing. When he quit to work somewhere else, he picked me up one night and everyone was surprised. We were married 6 months later and now have been married for 26 years.

first of all!! congrats.. when is the wedding!!
Bruce and I met on a blind date! We met in May, moved in in June and got married in October and as you know we just had our 23rd wedding annivesary! And he didn't want kids and we have a great dtr. and he considers Nick his own!!! Not bad for a guy who (1) didn't want to go on a blind date and (2) who didn't want kids!!

John and I actually met through eharmony.com. Hey, maybe one day you will see us on the commercial! :)

We grew up in the same town, he became friends with one of my family members
