I'll go with my current partner Andy, when answering this. I met Andy back in 1999 at a convention. He and I were both costuming which made us talk to each other in the first place. He was nice but I was not physically attracted to him at all, plus I wasn't looking because I was with someone. But as fans of Star Wars, we exchanged email addresses.

He dissapeared from the internet for about a year and I didn't think anything of it until I got an email one day asking how I was doing. We chatted and caught up on what had been going on the past year and found out we'd be attending the same convention in Atlanta and made plans to meet up at the Con.

We kept missing each other throughout the convention, but then fate intervened. He was in one of the panel rooms and happened to look out the door into the hallway when I was walking past. Going on a hunch, he called out my name. I didn't recognize him right away (he was in his Tusken costume), but when he told me who it was, I gave him a big hug and something just clicked.

Andy itroduced me to his other costuming friends and we had fun hanging out. Soon we were dating.

Looking back on it now, so many events could of gone the other way.... but they didn't.
