How did you meet your significant other? page 4

[YogaBare]

This has got to be one of my most favorite threads ever.

Officially "The feel-good thread" Loving hearing the stories of lovin'... and some of you tell them so well.

And how apt is the timing?! Even if Valentine's day is a commercial feeding frenzy, there's probably no better time to reminisce

Man, I left out the spicy bits, but since some of you are including them...

The first night that we re-met, he got drunk, we shared the stories of our lives, and we ended up playing DDR and dancing nekkid. Not a euphemism there. Well, he got nekkid, I was in my undies. There were other friends about. He hates when I bring that night up, but it really set the stage for our relationship in so many ways, mostly how much FUN it was.

Finding a text message on my phone late that night (we were up till 5AM or later, chatting, and went on our first date for lunch that same day) that he'd sent before getting drunk asking me if I wanted to go out sometime was the best feeling.

My brother was getting married, so he put me in his room in his flat, where I hung out with his flatmates for the weekend. She was one of them....

We're both terminal nerds, and met on IRC playing VtM (if you don't know what those TLAs mean, you're not nerdy enough).
He's ten years younger than I, from a low-income family in the south-eastern U.S. I'm from a middle-income family in small-town Prairies Canada. He's black, I'm white. Somehow, we've made it work for over 7 years of marriage!

In a bar-8 years ago-married 6 years-one child(18 month old son)-not much in common but death is the only thing that will separate me from my son so......

I was hitch hiking from Dunedin to the Auckland - on my own !!!!!! very naughty indeed..................... anyway he picked me up ........................30 years later he possibly regrets that split second decision !!!!!!!! LOL

That is naughty! You were, what, 19? As a mother, I feel a panic attack coming on, lol.

In the words of Hugh Grant - Love is...all around. I've decided that tomorrow I'm going to ask some people I work with how they met their SOs. I think some of them will have good stories too.

yep 19 and we had had two significant murders of hitch hikers in NZ (Jennifer Beard and Mona Blades) - so my parents did have kiniptions when they found out - but hey I was at Otago university with two of my brothers - they HH - so why couldn't I ??????
I was young and tough and bullet proof - you know the drill

[Tricialisha]

I love all the stories! I can't wait to have one of my own someday!

I'm not with this one anymore, but it was kind of neat how we met. We started out on Yahoo Personals- he read my ad and contacted me. We communicated via email and later on the phone a little. He found out where I worked (the home electronics department of a local department store) and he came in and didn't identify himself (I didn't know what he looked like at this point) and asked me to help him find a movie. I helped him, and he bought "The Princess Bride" which he then proceeded to give to me and introduce himself.
