How did you meet your b/f or husband?

[ben]

i love telling this story!!

i met my boyfriend for the first time about 15 years ago, at wix-brown elementary. we had a good thing going on back then, he'd chase me around on the playground trying to grab my butt, and i'd let him. we also pretended that we were married and had kids and we'd sit together on the school bus and hold hands, this last 2 years....on and off, kiddy style until we went to highschool. in highschool we went in different ways. this summer i saw his picture on a dating website : P and sent him a message right away. at time time i was away in japan and he was in canada, but we made plans to meet up and have dinner when i came home in a month.

that month past and i came home and we meet up, and kept on meeting up until one day i asked him if he wanted me to be his girlfriend.....(so cheesy, i know). he said yes and we've pretty much been together since....it's only been about 6 months but i have a good feeling about where we're going and i have never been happier!

kinda boring, i met my SO b/c he works in the same building but not for same employer.

i miss the old timey how we met stories though. one of my grandmas met her husband when she and a friend were walking to a roller skating rink and he pulled up with a bunch of guys in the car and was like, wanna ride? then they all rode around all night. seems like today that's not safe. my other grandma was sitting on her future husband's parent's porch - he came home (was living on his own) and saw her, asked her if she wanted to get a milkshake. she said yes and the rest was history. soooo cute!

I met my hubby in 1988 (yeah, I'm getting old) at a summer camp. We were penpals for years before we finally got together in 1993 and have been together ever since. Oh we got married in 1999. Took us a while to get to the altar

Pink Lily - I also met my bf at a strip club...

Hehe, it was my good friend's bday and there were male dancers - needless to say, him and his friends showed up after those dancers were done!

I dunno, but something just "happened" that night. I wouldn't call it love at first sight because I know a bit of the "happening" was liquid love... I also found him slightly irritating for the next few weeks that we dated (lol, he is Asian and I wasn't very familiar with Asian dating styles...)
We just stuck it out and now we have been together for over 3 years. I love him more all the time (awwww...) and could not be happier

Well...I was walking down Sunset Blvd. looking for a john to help me pay my rent...when this rich dude pulled up and was looking for a date. I told him my price and hopped in his ride. We did the nasty and then started talking...he found out I was just trying to survive and that I was really a nice girl...and I found out he was just a lonely rich man. I broke my rule and kissed him, he told me I was a pretty woman and we've been together ever since!

NOT!!! HeeHee!

Seriously...we met on the internet in a writer's circle..we were reading and editing each others manuscripts, and we eventually fell in love. That was 10 years ago.

Lavalife baby. A bunch of my friends have met their SOs on it =) Seems to be more popular in Canada than in the US. Hooked up with SO just 4 months after breaking up with my ex of more than 8 years. Needless to say, things were pretty rocky for the first like 6 months!!! I was soooo not ready at the time. But it all worked out - all good in the hood now =)

 

[sunsational]

i met a lot of my exes on lavalife. lol

but i met my current BF on craigslist.com

do you tell everyone including your parents that you met your SO online?

I met my boyfriend online (yes, me too!) on a forum a couple years ago. It was great talking to him online, even better on the phone, being with him in person is awesome!

I always manage to trump everyone when it comes to weird places to meet your S/O: we met on a square-rigger tall ship. I was crew, he was staff. Head over heels at first sight.

 

[Shimmer]

met him online. We were friends 2 years before we dated. Then we met, fell in love, got married.

I met my boyfriend at work. I was in Switzerland and landed a job at a hotel working in a restaurant, and he was working at the hotel doing a cooking apprenticeship. We got together about 2 weeks after meeting, I was so turned on by him!! Haha...it was a fling at first, but we've been together for 7 years now!

I met my ex dh on the net while he was in Holland and I was in the US. It's hard to believe that that has been 12 years ago---chat rooms barely even existed back then--LOL
