How did you meet your spouse/significant other?

[gemini9961]

I have known my Fiancee since middle school but we never talked to each other then. It wasn't until high school that I ever really talked to him. I didn't even really talk to him until our senior year. We didn't start dating until we got out of high school and now it's been 4 years together. We broke up shortly after we got together because he was going to school on the other side of the state but he came back soon and we got back together and have been ever since.

My dad, of all people, introduced us.
My husband needed Italian lessons when he was stationed in Italy and he asked my dad who could help him.
My dad said that I could give him lessons since I'm bi-lingual.
When we met we liked eachother right away but I had a boyfriend. After a few years, the other relationship didn't work so we started going out "as friends". Who knew we would have ended up getting married. We just celebrated our 3rd anniversary!

After months of seeing each other at HOG functions, we had our first official date during "Daytona" 2005 and the rest is history.

I thought you wre together for longer than that -- only a year? Wow! That year has brought a lot of change for you too! See what happens when you meet your soul mate?

Oops, that was supposed to be Daytona of 1995, not 2005 - sorry!

Me and Rob met while we were doing our nurse training! I was the new kid on the block, just started my training and a very naive girl of 18!!! He was an arrogant, know it all bugger...hate at first sight for me!!! He was part of the welcoming committee for all new student nurses! We got to know each other as friends first then about 4 or 5 month later he turned round and said he fancied me and asked me out! He always said that the moment he met me he just knew there was something about me and of course i had a very cute butt!!! Got engaged in 1992 and married in the Seychelles in November 1994 and still going strong now!!!! No longer nursing....doing my own cat sitting business and love it!!!!

I met my husband when I was 15 and junior in high school. Like Pam, he was a "man in uniform" - he was an Air Force security policeman who worked the gate near where I lived with my parents and he would wink and wave at me in the back seat of my dad's car! A common friend introduced us at his house and we started dating - only my second boyfriend We have been together for 35 years and married for 30

Fun thread, Pam!!

Bob and I met on the job. I was just out of college and he worked in the same department as I. We became friends over the years but because of our age difference (31 years), nothing "happened". He kept trying to fix me up with his son! Well, his son and I didn't care for each other. Our friendship slowly grew into more and 6 years after meeting, we fell in love (I told you were were slow)! We got married a few years after that. 27 years after meeting we're still best friends (except when we drive each other crazy).

Guido and I met online but not through a dating service. That was in May of 2001. We met on ICQ and he wasn't looking for anything but someone to chat with and I wasn't looking for anything at all. Well goes to show you sometimes find the things you need when you least expect it. He was in Italy and me in Canada. After a year of chat I went to Italy. Silly me see what that got me???? And after going back and forth for a few years he came to Canada and we got married. We will be celebrating or 1 year wedding anniversary on Saturday!!! Doesn't seem like we have been married that long.

I meet mine in a rather odd way, because of a break in to my home.

My ex-husband had backed a u-haull up to house while I was out of town and cleaned the place out, of everything. So in having to go and re-place everything, I went to buy a new washer. As I was there this young guy came in, while we where trying to figure out if the washer would fit in my car, as they did not deliver as far out as me.

This boy, offered to bring my washer out for me. Came out, hooked up my washer, noticed that I had some water pressure problems as well as other problems and offered to fix them, for a home cooked meal.

A week later he called, then came by to fix things for me and after that every weekend, he would come by and help with things I couldn't do.

He grew on me after some time, so I decided to keep him.

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

We're geeks.

There is nothing wrong with being a geek.

I met John at the local Dennys. I was at a Star Trek club meeting and honestly bored to tears. Usually at those meetings, we actually discussed Star Trek related things but for some reason the two "hens" of the club wanted to whine about this, that or the other. I found my attention wandering. Suddenly, John walks in with what appears to be his girlfriend. I thought "oh of course, he's cute but with someone. Just my luck." He did lock eyes with me though as they were being seated at the table right across from me. We stared at each other as the "hens" babbled. His girlfriend was talking but he wasn't paying any attention to her .
After the meeting was over, I went to go BS with a few friends that had shown up and John ended up talking to one of the club members. She came over to my table after a few minutes and said that John was really interested in meeting me. I was kind of floored, since usually I was the one asking after guys! I went over to his table and we ended up BSing about computers (he owned a computer shop at the time). He offered me a job interview since they needed another tech and I seemed to know what I was doing. We agreed to meet at the shop the next day.
I found out later that the girl he was with at Dennys was actually dumping him that night and kicking him out of her house. She had just taken him to dinner as sympathy. She did say though as I left the table"I think you just found your soulmate."
The next day, I went to the computer shop...finding out that my @#&$ing high school ex worked there too, and had known John for YEARS! Kinda wierd. Anyway, I got to talking with John about non computer stuff. We agreed that we should hang out in a non-work related setting but that it shouldn't go any further than friendship because he was "trying to work things out with his ex" and I was in a long distance relationship myself. Uh huh...
Fast forward another day. Johns Ex was out of town (and had said get your junk out before I get back. So much for patching things up) and he took me out to this nice isolated spot (Nevada has a lot of those ). We talked for hours upon hours and eventually things er...progressed. . He dropped me off at my house and asked me before he drove off if I regretted what we had just done. For the first time in my life I could honestly say "No". I knew right then and there that I had fallen completely in love
I got quite scare though. He moved to his mothers house about 40 miles from town and dropped ownership of the computer store all at the same time (the next day in fact, but that is a whole other story) but forgot to leave a phone number where I could call. (I had his Ex's number but I thought calling that would be rude). My ex said John went back to Arizona. I thought "Oh great, a one night stand type of jerk." Immagine my suprise when he called my cell phone and invited me out to his moms to stay while I was on break from school. What was funny is that I had never written my cellphone number down, and I had only told it to him once! I guess he really wanted to remember me!
The rest is history I suppose. We stayed together for a little over two years before we got actually married. This Novemeber will be our three year anniversary of being together.
And through good and bad, I don't regret one bit of it!

We met through a blind date. Next week will be our 14th wedding anniversary but we also like to think of any and all Friday the 13th's as our "anniversaries" because that's when we first met.

This is the weirdest way to meet! I met Donna (moosmom) thru Pet Talk! We just started to answer each other's posts and soon we started to get mushier and mushier on them. I'm in Pittsburgh and Donna is in Detroit and right now our job situations have to get better before we meet physically. But don't worry,we build up each other's phone bills LOL!LOL!
