Meet mine in an AOL chatroom back in November of 1999. Married 10 months later and approaching 11th anniversary.
-
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]](http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj41/cooked2008/Shawna.jpg) (http://[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 :)
-
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.

Still dodging that bullet. <check 6> -- <ahhhh!!> :eek:

On-line when it was weird and wrong
Tronsky

number 1 at a civil war reenactment
number 2 when we were both in the Army
number 3 online and were the best thing that has ever happened to both of us. When we first met the first thing she thought was crap I'm screwed, we were only interested in on thing but cupid had other ideas.

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.

I was a bit of a cradle robber. I was working at a gas station across the street from a high school (don't worry guys I was barely 20 at the time - she was almost 17). She would leave school late due to afterschool activites and come hang out with me for a while in the evenings. Sometimes I'd take her home.
We ended up dating for several months but things didn't really work out. Her best friend decided she was 'in love' with me and started a bunch of fake drama that ended their friendship and the age difference was a little bit of a problem with her father and.. well all in all we ended up drifting apart. I spent the next several years trying to get over her to be completely honest.
Several years later she tracked down my email address from a friend of a friend of a friend kind of deal and we started talking again. She was married to some controlling loser and living in the middle of nowhere with nowhere to go and only enduring it all because of her career. We kept it light (mostly email) for several months and then one day she got laid off with no hope in finding another position in that area so I talked her into leaving him and moving back near me.
Next thing you know she's divorced and we're living together and a few years later we got married!
Then four years later I saw a strange text message on her phone while I was getting ready for work so I took her phone with me. I saw undeniable evidence that she had been cheating on me the past few months on that phone and she wouldn't answer the home phone or her work phone when I called her all day. I came home from work that evening and she had taken a bunch of stuff (including the dogs) and moved out. I had no idea where she went and neither did her family. Her dad was closer to me than he was to her (I was like the son he never had) and even he had no idea what the heck was going on.
Two weeks later I was served with a bogus restraining order with false claims of spousal abuse. I eventually found out that she had connected with some guy across the country on an online RPG game (A MUSH which is kind of like a text-based world of warcraft) and he had come into town a few times and they hooked up before she decided to just drive out there. I knew she played those games a lot but I didn't think much of it because I played AH alot. I had my thing she had hers! Anyway I haven't seen her or talked to her since that day she left.
Fast forward 32 months later and here I am legally separated (I'm making *HER* file the divorce papers! Can't wait to see how that turns out!) and living with an awesome woman who loves me for who I am and who doesn't keep trying to change me. She also makes a great deal of money! I guess life is good and easy for me. It really is a shame that she did what she did though. She really was the love of my life and I'll probably never replace that but what she did to me is completely irreversible. On one hand I hope she's happy in life but on another I hope she's REALLY MISERABLE!

I was 20.
My sister came over and told me there was a problem next door at a party she was at, could I come over to help.
Well.. turns out a guy had brought marijuana into the party, parents weren't home,
he was a bit belligerent about removing it and the ladies were upset,
..so I offered him a choice.. either he could leave or I would throw him out.
He chose the latter.
He started with 'you can't..' ..I grabbed the scruff of his collar and his belt and physically threw him through the front doorway out into the yard where he did a bee-yootiful face plant.
Of course he scrambled to his feet and took a step toward me standing in the doorway.
I waited .. he spouted what he was good at and decided to leave before I re-arranged his face too.
(which I had every intent of doing)
It was his birthday party being held at his fiancee's house.
Kathy had been 'goin with' him for two years.
3 days later I told Kathy she was the Lady I was going to marry.
She was the smartest Lady I had ever met and just as direct as I am,
..no tricks and not a player, solid through-and-through.
Wanted to marry her on April 1st (6 months later)
.. wooda been *perfect* .. but she would have NONE of THAT!!
So we married Apr 3rd, 1971 .. in the Cathedral of St. Jude, by the Bishop no less.
She is still my best friend, we take it one day at a time and enjoy each other's company.
I am a bit more direct than most, learned early that if you see something you want GO FOR IT
.. break the chains others have put on themselves.

During college. We worked at the same place. coming up on our 29th Anniversary on August 20th. Still the best move I ever made.

#1-High school bestfriend turned girlfriend turned wife. Too many Army deployments ruined this one. Still friends with a shared 15 yr old daughter.
#2-New years eve party. Cheated on me 3 months after giving birth to our 2nd daughter. Still friends I suppose since we have 2 girls to raise.
One-day-will-be #3-Work at the same place. Been together 3 years & have an 8 month old girl.
Yes, apparently all I can make is girls (4).

While walking my Lab in a Local park I saw this guy pointing a pigeon while a 6 mo pup. (http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr149/Rich46yo/outdoors/caye-1.jpg)
It was love at first sight. Then later I fell in love with his owner. She had bought a pup vizsla to jog with not even knowing he was sired by by Dual Champ Askim. http://www.buschvizslas.com/askim.htm

Kindly send me the materials for cleaning off my moniter!!!
No... she helped me get past an attempt at a relationship that I flipped up --> 9 months later... I cheated. :( :huh :bhead Probably the stupidest thing I've done in my life. Lost one of the best friends I've ever had. It wasn't even really worth it. Ah well...
That's the short story.
-
She's mortally embarrassed by it, so don't tell her I told you, but we met online. She even warned me to not even tell the kids but I laughed and pointed out that for them meeting online will be as normal as meeting someone at a social event.
It was 2002 and I was 42. I was dodging the bullet for so long that I walked into this one without even realising this one had my name on it. I wasn't even looking for a wife, just looking forward to turning into grumpy old man. When we first met one rainy night in Dublin, (sounds like a song), she threw me a shy smile and I've been in her thrall ever since.
All these years later sometimes I wake up in the morning and wonder how I got here. Married with two beautiful little boys in a big house on the other side of the country. Ten years ago if a fortune teller told me that I would have demanded my coin of silver back.
You just never know how life is going to throw you a curve ball. :headscratch:
-
My longest real relationship was 4 months with this awesome girl, but her anime obsession was to much to bear so I dumped her. One moved away, one was mental, 7 were sluts whom I dumped, my most recent one didn't last more than 2 weeks sadly, hoping for a ray of luck this school year :devil
-
School... what a fantastic place. How old are you, F22?
Actually? You dumped her because she loved anim?? :lol sorry but that's a little sad. I play 7 different instruments, could play a tune back to you after hearing it once, am not the best-looking or most in-shape guy, and I can't catch a ball for my life. My girlfriend of 11 months could play any sport imaginable, had the figure and face of a goddess (to me) but could play piano a little bit. Opposites? I think yes. Did we break up? Not until I made the decision to cheat.

No I dumped her because she was way to obsessed, she would rather hang with her anime friends. Or whenever we hung out it was all about anime, then she started dressing in insane outfits that suited her show at the time. Im sorry but it was way to embarrassing
-
It was in 1997. I had taken a break from my Icelandic farming and was working first as a farm-hand and then on a construction project on a big horse and horse related show in Essen in N-Germany.
The show is quite some project and attracts some 500.000 people, - well it did back then.
I was unloading trailers full of various items when I almost bumped my head into this lovely girl who was unloading this trailer.
I was 31, and what crossed my mind was "oh, what a lovely young lass", and then "skip it you old bugger, she seems to be 17".
We worked together for some 10 days and made friends. She was actually 23 and about to graduate as a lawyer, - she just looks very young!
We hooked up some one and a half year later, she moved to my country, we built a house in 2001-2002, got married in 2003, and had the first child in 2004. We have 3 now, all girls.
She still looks like 17.....almost.....

You'll never be happy with a hot chick then. And you'll never understand what the little nerdy redhead girls who like getting dressed up in their little character outfits have to offer. Or the cute Japanese girls that like their anime or hello kitty nonsense. You'll never realize that you want a chick who had her own interests and isn't up your back side all the time because when a girl puts you as her life's priority she no longer has her own soul. You want your girl to have her own interests if for no other reason so you can get the heck away from each other from time to time. It's cool if a girl likes to golf, fish, shoot, hunt, fly, work on cars, race or ski but it's a problem if she likes all of them because I'm all out of escapes.
I've had girls after just a few dates throw the "I'm ready to settle down within a year" thing out. Byebye. I notice a lot of people I know who are looking just anyone, rather than a someone, to be with for the sake of it. It seems they won't be complete in their eyes without a husband/wife figure whereas I hold out that it's more special than that. It's organic, it grows stronger over time and while you can certainly have strong feelings at the first moment of that instant click, the real love is generated by the details of someone you can't possibly know about until you've been with them for a longer period of time.
Until I find that I'll have my guns with night vision, my truck, my car, my airplane, my skis, my golf clubs, my boat and MY retirement portfolio. (all of them are "mine" not "ours" - very important) The trial and error method when it comes to women isn't something to be so quickly dismissed when you're biding time waiting to have that right one cross your path. :) Women and children cut into your discretionary play budget enough that it doesn't really exist from what I've seen. Gather up your toys ahead of time and your chances of keeping them increase dramatically.
There are plenty of good ones out there. If you're a younger guy into older women there are plenty of divorcee's out there 35-40 who are rediscovering themselves after 10 year marriages. That's just one 28 year old professional's opinion...
All that said I admire the folks who have truly found that someone special and know it. They're genuinely happy even when there are bumps in the road. They're supporting each other when life all but implodes. Separately they're great individuals, together they're two great individuals who help each other grow rather than a collective "we" who gets to that point and no further. They're fortunate and they know it. Good on all of them and best of luck to them :)

I'm amazed at the amount of people that meet online. Even at age 35, I guess I'm behind on the times. Never even considered doing the social media/dating site thing, don't think I ever will either. Even so, it's good to see it's worked for so many of you. :salute

She was a senior, editor on the journalism department. I was a junior. She had a crush on me at the time, but I never saw her before. One day, she wanted to do a fake interview with me on homecoming, her plan was to ask me out to the event. After a few questions, she did not realizing that I was working on dating another girl (biggest mistake I ever made :mad:). Three months later, I went after Nikki and started dating. To this day, we have been together 16 years, married 11 years. :rock
-
Met mine at work. So far it has been the longest one night stand ever, almost 17 years since our first night out.
I had just started working there and it was her first night back after giving birth to her first daughter, the one that I made the chest for 1 1/2 years ago.
That first night out was at a dive bar and then a quick trip back to her place, where it felt so perfect that I never left and here we are married 15 years and still the happiest couple that I know.
The more I think of the series of events the more it seems like we were truly made for each.
And as stated by Golfer the time away is as important as the time together to have a great relationship with your significant other.
-
Nicely stated Golfer.
I try to steer away from all the corny sayings .. but .. they all apply when I think of Kathy.
She truly is my better half ..and so on.
Umm .. I had my toys before Kathy and I were married, and continued with them.
She wont say it out loud .. but . I know she enjoys hearin the Vette wind up thru the gears off a light.
Not as much as I do .. but .. still .. she smiles :)
Sharing the fun is important.
Escapes are good to have also.. she hangs with our grandkids now an then,
and I zone in Rift or Hearts of Iron 3 now an then :)
We have been takin it one day at a time for 40 years.
Life would be a lot rougher without her.

I first met my wife 36 years ago when we were 13 and she was my best friends girlfriend...or as much of a girlfriend as you can have at 13.
We started going together 3 years later at 16 and we've been married 27 years.
-
Yes, Golfer pretty much hit it on the head. Today being an example of why my relationship works. Today the weather went bad, so no flying for me. She thinks, great. I'll meet up with my old friend and head off for a nice day leaving my husband with our boys. So off she goes has a lovely day with her best friend. I spend the day changing diapers, keeping the boys from killling themselves in between feeding them Pizza.
Neither of us thinks this is odd. On another day I leave at dawn and return at dusk, return home tired as a dog. She never complains, she knows how it is. The life of a working pilot.
Another example, recently I had an engine problem followed by an emergency landing. So I call her, once she establishes I'm not dead and coming home early, she says 'Great, we can go shopping'.
Tonight she cooked me a steak dinner an with expensive French wine.
We are partners.

Met mine at college. About the only good thing I got out of education apart from a handfull of friends.

when i met my current girlfriends, she told me there were two things she diddnt want, kids or marriage. we still together after 10 years, unmarried and no kids between us. she makes more money than I do, so yeah, she's a keeper :D.
one thing that my friends find odd, is that i dont keep anything from her. they have asked me several times if I wanted to go to the topless bar, i just call her and let her know I am going. they're all amazed that she doesnt get mad. then again, she trusts that all I do is look and tip. which is all I do. have gone out to lunch with old gf's and highschool sweethearts, I always let her know, where I am going with who and what time I'll be back. she has never gotten jealous. it's called trust. she trusts me and I trust her.

My old youth group director and mentor once told me "trust is the glue that holds good relationships together"
Personally, I met my (future) wife in 7th grade gym, she whooped my butt at basketball :D. We became friends, and started dating at 16. Five years later, I'm saving up the money to buy a ring and propose :x but without a doubt we have stuck together so long because we are 100% honest to each other, and because I never let myself get in the way of her ambitions. And she's totally fine with the fact that I get my commission next year. What golfer said is completely correct, by the way.

I married my intern :)

Lets see I was playing college football and it was January 1993 and I had just ended a relationship with one of the cheerleaders at the university where I attended. I was working as a bouncer in the best music club in the state (Louie Louie's which used to be in Birmingham). It was a Thursday night (big party night then because we (UAB) were on a quarter system along with Alabama and Auburn at the time and just about everyone came to Birmingham each weekend to hear the bands that came through the club. I was working the back door and my wife was walking out onto the street with one of her friends; who I was actually attracted to initially; both had open beers which is a no-no in Birmingham and I had to stop them from getting arrested for that since both were underage (did not know ATM since had just met them) but that's another story.
Anyway they both come back into the bar and instead of leaving at 11pm they stayed till almost closing which was 2am. By that time I had numbers, addresses, knowledge of no boyfriends by either of them and a lunch date on Saturday with my wife. I had an anatomy and physiology lab 8am the next morning which was Friday and got a surprise project dumped in our lab groups collective laps that was due on Monday. Anyway I had to cancel our Saturday lunch date since I had to get back into the lab early on Saturday and work there till about 6pm when I broke out for work at the bar...no chicks that night since I smelled like formaldehyde. But we had rescheduled for a church date on Sunday...talk about fate, destiny, whatever you want to say about it.
We spent all that Sunday together and then we didn't talk at all for about a week and a half and then we occasionally went out over the next few months before settling down to dating each other exclusively. We got engaged about a year after meeting then we got married on August 5th 1995. We have two boys (14 and 8) and a little girl (4); our oldest was born in September of 1996 and the other two were May 2003 and March 2007. This anniversary will be 16 great years with some tough spots sprinkled in there but nothing that trust, friendship and talking hasn't gotten us through.
-
I met my wife at work before I was self employed. She was dating my boss. She dumped him and we started going out secretly. When we decided to get married, I left the company and went into business for myself. That was an interesting conversation with my old boss... "I'm giving my two week notice. I'm starting my own business... Oh, and I'm marrying that hot girl who dumped you last year." :rofl
He was kind of a tool and I enjoyed it very much.
-
Met my wife in high school initially, she moved in with her father down the street during her 10th grade year. We dated for a month before she broke it off, but we remained friends. I went to college and she had 1 more year of high school. I was in my last half year of college when my brother died in a car accident. She started calling me regularly and just hanging around to help support me, and our relationship grew from there, started dating again and eventually got married a few years later. Next month will be our 7th anaversary. We have 2 kids; my step daughter is 12 and our son is 6. I have to agree that it is better to know your partner for a long while before stepping into the world of marrage and kids.

I met my current girlfriend on a dating site 1 1/2 years ago. We started texting then on the 3rd day talked on the phone while she was headed home from work..where we lived came up in the conversation. I walked out on my driveway as she drove past...She lives 4 doors down from me and had for 2 years.

I was out drinking and after I gave her a 20 she climbed off my lap and gave me her phone number.

That's the best one yet filth. Want my number too? ;)

Went to visit an army buddy. He was sharing an apartment with two girls. She was one of them.

She came in and asked who that hunky guy was.......
I told her that he is married and I asked her name....... :)

Moved to a new town in 72 when I was 17, went down the pub, played darts with a guy named Rod, went back to his house and.. met his sister who was 14, thought she was OK, bit skinny and silly so ignored her and helped Rod with some work on his motorbike.
Three years later she's blossomed into a beauty, went out with her for 3 or 4 months, but I was more interested in getting pished and playing rugby so it didn't last.
Met up with her again 2 years later, got it together again, married in '81, still together, 30 years married in November, 2 kids and 2 grandchildren.
Told me after we were married that she knew I was the one she would marry when she first saw me when she was 14 - how do wimmin know these things?

Great stories .. fascinating how it happens differently for each of us.
The ladies always seem to test us to determine if we are viable
.. the guys always have to have the courage to step up and do the deed
ie: ..ask the Lady out for starters :)
It's never easy but .. when the light goes on it is like coming home.
I cannot imagine what life would have been without Kathy.
