Meet mine in an AOL chatroom back in November of 1999. Married 10 months later and approaching 11th anniversary.

[Rash]

Never married, but thought about it twice.  

The first one was going to school to be a veterinarian.  I met her through friends.  We dated about 6 years, and during her final year of school, she went to New York City for her internship.  I missed her a lot, and bought an engagement ring.  One of the first thing she said, when she got home was "we moving to New York".  I took the ring back, and they always ask....what happened?  About two weeks later I got a check from the jewelry store for 6 grand.  I only paid 3 grand for it.  (this was the early 90's).  I hated taking the ring back in the first place.  Now I had to go tell them, they paid me double.  I heard the cashier girl let out WOW as the door shut.

The second I met at a bar.  She was working as a designer for an air craft company at the time.  She was from Crawford Texas, and after two years, I was kind of scared for my life.  She works for the Navel Research Lab near D.C. and gets to do a lot of cool stuff, like take control of an Aircraft Carrier, and travel the world.

She doesn't have a face, neck, right arm tat or wings, but the left arm tat is real and she has a permit to carry fire arms.  http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj41/cooked2008/Shawna.jpg[/img]]

Walked into 3rd period art class on my first day at my new school and laid eyes upon the most stunning beauty I've ever seen.

She had to be mine.

However, I was too weak to actually walk up and put the mack on her so I had a friend give her my number. We dated for six years before getting married, and celebrated our 12 year wedding anniversary on July 10th.

On the job through a co-worker I was interested in. I dont even remember the co-workers name but 24 years later we're still smiling.

I married my intern

[RoGenT]

My son's mom and I met actually on accident. Long story short. She was dating a co-worker for only couple of weeks and he borrowed my phone to call her. I didn't hear the conversation but he told her 'I love you' on her voice mail. Couple hours later she called my phone and said that she was uncomfortable about being told that she is loved only after couple of weeks. I told her that I understood but the only problem is, I wasn't Jeff. I told her that I just let him borrow my phone. We talked for few minutes and kept in touch after that but only as friends. About a year afterwards, we eventually got together. That relationship has ended(she cheated on me) but we are still friends for the sake of our son. My current girlfriend and I have been together about four years, I was thinking about asking her the big Q but lately, the relationship has been on the rocks so I don't know if we will be together much longer or not. I hope so but that is my least concern at the moment.

I met mine at Carl's Jr, back in 1986.  she was the assistant manager.  I walked in and ordered a sprite, it was a hot day.  she looked at me and gave me a big smile.  I asked her for her phone number and gave me her aunt's, she wasnt allowed to get calls at home.  she was 20, but her father was old school.  anyway we went out for an hour or two after she got out of work.  couple of weeks later she ended up naked in back of my 1977 mustang.  and the rest is history.  we were married for about 14 years, then I kicked her out of the house.  she wanted to make up in her 30's what she didnt do in her teenage years, sleep around.

we cool now, we have 3 kids.  and i always get a kick when she tells the kids what a good girl she was when she was young.  I always smile and tell the kids, yup, your mother was a very good girl when I met her.  she gets embarrassed and the kids laugh.
