How did you meet your SO?

[kimlovescats]

I met my hubby on a church bowling league!

[M&M's Mommy]

I met my husband at Church. I believe God had something to do with it He was there from the very first moment, and He remains a very important part of our relationship. We'll be celebrating our 5th anniversary at the end of this month!

I had a Liqour store at the time. This lady kept on coming in and buying champagne. We would always chat, and got along well. I finally summoned up the courage to ask her out. We've been together for nine years now.
Carole told me later, that she was almost drowning in champagne, waiting for me to ask her out!

Youre not going to believe this, but I met my SO on PT!!! I first met Donna (moosmom) through replying to each other's threads, then we started PMing each other like crazy, then gab on the phone. I love her very much and would do anything for her and vice versa. When we get our finances together we DO plan on meeting face to face! Donna is such a beautiful person.

Well, it was actually a set-up by someone I knew personally in RL, but we met on the internet. At the time that we "met" online, I didn't know that the person I knew set it up.

It will be 2 years in February.

We met in college, where we both worked at the University of Iowa Library. We've been together for 4 1/2 years and we've been married for 1 1/2.

That makes me think of the old Hollies song. Did you often ride the same route together, or did you only meet there once?

Aaaaaaahhhhh. That's so sweet!

When I was a teenager there was this young adult church group my mom and sisters really wanted me to join. They kept signing me up for the email list, but I kept deleting them unread. One day, frustrated, I opened one to ask to be taken off the list for the hundredth time. The response back was surprisingly funny, friendly, and witty (a new writer had taken over the emails). We kept removing my name, but my family kept adding it back on, which always led to another friendly, joking exchange.

Eventually I just left myself on the email list because he was funny, and I was enjoying making small talk with him, but never in a million years would I ever imagine having feelings for someone I'd met over the internet. That seemed too pathetic and dorky to bear, even though we found out we had numerous mutual RL friends and acquaintences.

One day, I realized we'd both ended up at one of these mutual friend's gatherings at the same time for a change, and so I decided to introduce myself. Since most the people on the list complained about his sense of humor, we always joked that I was his only fan. So, once he was pointed out to me (we had never exchanged pictures), I walked over and handed him a paper and pen and asked for his autograph. Confused, he asked why, and I told him "Because I am your biggest and only fan!" He just smiled his super-dorky smile and said "I was hoping that that was who you were".

In no time at all, we were best friends... and after a lot of romantic cliches and misadventures, we are now getting married in february almost seven years later.

[Cincy'sMom]

We met in college, my freshman (Ralph's sophmore) year. He was dating the girl that lived next door to me in the dorm's who had gone to high school with my roommate. We all hung out, and by the time they broke up, I was dating someone, but he was friends with my freinds and we all hung and eventually rented a house together. We didn't actually start dating until he was graduating and moving back to Toledo, and I had another year of school. (Live in the same town for 4 years and wait until you are 200 miles apart to date?!?)

Anyway, our 6th wedding anniversary was last weekend.

K9karen, my husbands name is John too

Our meeting was kind of a mutual "running into the right person at the right time" I was at Dennys at a Star Trek club meeting of all things (Yeah, I'm a nerd). John was there for a totally different reason. His ex-girlfriend took him there for a sympathy dinner because she was breaking up with him and kicking him out of her house (real nice huh). For some reason, we both kept looking at each other from across the resturant but we both were too shy to directly say anything. At the end of the club meeting, John managed to get the attention of one of my friends to ask for an introduction because he "Just HAD to talk to me" We ended up chatting for a while, mostly about computers lol. When I finally had to go home, his ex told him as I left "I think you just met your soulmate"
Well, he called me a couple days later to see if I wanted to interview for a job in the computer shop he was running at the time. The "interview" ended up in a several hour long conversation about our past relationships and how we had both kept ourselves in less than healthy relationships out of a feeling of obligation. We made plans to see each other outside of a working environment and the rest as they say is history We've been married for almost three years and together for over four.

I hope to meet my SO at this site! it'd be so much easier..

my ex-SO I at first thought he would be mine (for almost three years), we met in a car accident.

[Twisterdog]

My husband and I actually went to high school together, decades ago. We really didn't know each other then, as he was a couple of years older.

We were re-introduced by a mutual friend one evening, and started talking. He said, "OH! I remember you now. You drove that blue Camaro, right?"\

Leave it to a "car-guy" to remember not me, but the car I drove, twenty years ago in high school.
