    How did you meet your spouse/significant other?

    Just curious. So many people meet their spouses at work/school, etc. How did you meet yours? I met my hubby when I was 9 and he was 11. We went to the same church. Of course we didn't date until we were much older. The morning he walked in wearing his Air Force uniform was the first time I think I really noticed him. There's something about a man in a uniform! LOL!

    I met my boyfriend in college. We were in a computer science class together. The class had about 150-200 students in it and there was an online chat for people to discuss homework, etc. He and I initially started talking in the chat and soon began sitting together in class, hehe

    Hubby and I met online in a dating site! A coworker bugged me until I signed on and created an account just to please her, then months later, I had a fight with my mom one night (was still living at home) and I logged on to " meet someone and get out of this place". And I actually did! He was the 3rd guy I met, and I'd have NEVER gone out with him if I met him in person - definately not my type looks-wise, but I already knew his heart and wanted to give him a chance.

    We'll be married 4 years in a few weeks.

    Great thread!!

    I met Bernard on a dancing course for singles!! I was 22, lonely, and a bit bored during weekends. So when I saw an ad in the paper about a new dancing course for singles, I didn't hesitate! We learned lots of dances, modern and ballroom. First we got instructions, then we had to choose someone to practise with. Sometimes it was "ladies choose!", sometimes it was "men choose!" A nice man asked me if I wanted to have a drink. He got me a cola. Guess who that was............... yup, Bernard!! Of course, we finished the course as a couple . Only 9 months later, we got married! That will be 26 years ago on August 18th!!!
    I miss you enormously Sydney, Maya, Inka & Zazou Be happy there at the Rainbow Bridge

    I met Rob at a drag strip. My brother drag raced his mustang there, and I went to watch him. My brother's good friend also raced his mustang there, and Rob lived across the street from him, and went to watch him race. So we all sat together in the stands. We didn't know each other previously...but I asked my brother's friend about Rob afterwards, and it turned out Rob asked him about me too The rest is history! That was the summer before senior high school. We have been together ever since...11 years!!

    At the Motor City Comic Convention in Novi, MI.

    He was dressed up as Boba Fett and I just had to introduce myself.

    We're geeks.

    I met my first husband when we were in the 6th grade. We became "boyfriend/girlfriend" when we were about 15.

    I met my current husband in Sunday School at church, 3 years ago, this past June. Best thing to happen to me, ever!!!

    Terry and I were both members of the same HOG Chapter (Harley Owners Group). The chapter had regular Sunday morning breakfast rides and that's where I met Terry in the beginning of October, 1994. I wanted to know who the good looking guy on the black bike was and he wanted to know who the tall girl with the aqua Heritage was. After months of seeing each other at HOG functions, we had our first official date during "Daytona" 1995 and the rest is history.

    This is the reason he was so broke up when we sold the motorcycles. If not for them, chances are we never would have met.

    I met my husband when we were freshmans in high school.
    We have been married for 25 years. So, high school romances can work out.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!
