How did you meet your wife/girlfriend?

[Spadesy]

And how was the struggle of it all? Just asking out of curiosity (and of course there's some self-interest involved but that's irrelevant).

[badstreetusa]

Through a friend.

JU singles of all places!

Had to weed thru tons of mental cases to find the right type of mental case though.

our parents have been long time friends, we had met a few times as very young children, and were re introduced about 5 years ago

High school... Yes, yes, yes. It's sappy and sad at the same time but we have enough history together to give a world history book a run for it's money.

Uh, I woke up next to her in my house one morning after a long night of drinking. She told me she was pregnant over a bowl of Cookie Crisp (and 4 months later she delivered. She told me it was premature, but the docs said that it was fully grown and healthly! How's that for 4 months?!). We now have a brown-skinned child. We're both white, but she told me she carries a recessive latin gene; and that I must also have the recessive gene.

I actually have a real story.
A friend was working for Control Data. He was called to a production area to look at problem with a piece of equipment that he had designed. The equipment operator was a Korean lady. Having served in Korea he struck up a conversation with her, then mentioned that he had a single friend and asked her if she had a boyfriend. She said that she did, but her cousin did not. He invited her and her cousin over to his house for lunch and meet his wife. She accepted. My friend then called me at work and asked me if I wanted to come over to his house for lunch and meet a couple Korean ladies.

I went to my friends place ate lunch and socialized with the ladies. Later my friend asked me what I thought of the two ladies. I said that they were nice but I didn't see any love connection and left it at that.

A month later my friend had a Christmas party at his house and invited the two Korean ladies and me. A block and a half from where I lived was a Korean grocery store that I had to pass on my way to my friends house. At the stop sign I looked over to see the same two Korean ladies I met at my friends house coming out of the Korean store. We exchanged greetings and I mentioned that I was going to my friends for a Christmas party. They said that they were also going to the same party and wanted to follow me so that they didn't get lost.

A couple days after the party my wife's cousin called my friend and asked if I
would be interested in going out with her cousin, that she was interested in me. I said sure, why not. My wife's cousin then told her that she had made a date for her with me. My wife was pissed, but agreed to go out with me.

Well we started dating and somewhere along the line we fell in love and were married 2 years later.

It's funny, There was always an instant attraction with all of the girls I had previously dated. This time that was not there. We both were dating for something to do and to share each others company. After the first few dates we were together every day.

I saw my wife for the first time at my bosses english class, then started actually talking to her a couple of months later at the Nanohana festival in Tabuse town, up here in Yamaguchi prefecture. 3 years later we got married. Yeah, we took our time. and then some.

[P_chan]

Got her Yahoo ID though a friend and emailed her. We talked a lot on Yahoo and exchanged pictures and all that. When it was time to finally meet I made sure it was a group date in case she was crazy. But she turned out fine and now she tells me that at first she thought I didn't have an interest in her. But I really did and we dated for a while and then got married! Now I couldn't be happier that I meet a good person!

[mikersoft]

I met my wife at the New Sanno Hotel in Tokyo. She worked in the restaurant at the time..

It was kinda funny because she wasn't working our table, so I ask our waitress to help out and said that I was interested in meeting her. Well, something was definitely "lost in translation" because all she was told was something like "that guy wants to talk to you" in a matter of fact way.. So she (my future wife) comes over to the table all serious and says "can I help you???". D'oh! :scared:

I was in High School...visiting a friend who lived in NY. Got on AOL, met J. That was around 12yrs ago...been happy from that day on.

[Sex Wax]

I met my girlfriend at a bar. But we had to break up because my wife was getting pissed. So much for them porno's where the wife walks in and joins you. I think that's false advertising.

[thatguy4]

I was rip-roaring drunk in Spain. Me and my friends went out drinking and when it was my turn to buy the drinks they left while I was at the bar. Not to let good beer go to waste I proceeded to drink my beer as well as the three I had purchased for them. While I am running through beers to catch up with these guys My old lady sits across from me since her party ditched her as well. We start talking and I tell her we should go catch up to our friends. Next thing I remember is waking up in my hotel room and the floor is covered in sand. I remember having a good time the night before and asked her out when I saw he the following day. She said maybe. When I got back to Las Vegas I asked her out again saying maybe wasn't good enough and she agreed. I asked her to marry me in Kentucky we were married early in Washington to take care of paper work and we will be married in front of our friends and family next July in Nassau.

Warning: Long story! skip to end for long and short of it. :)

I was 15 years old and googling that Zelda SoaD song. You know the one.

"And when you're feeling all down, a fairy will come around, so you'll be brave, and not a sissy coward." Yeah. Good stuff.

Anyway. Link, link link...email? I'll email this address and ask them for full lyrics. I think I was on a board and part of the lyrics were in his sig or something. (I honestly don't know why I didn't just click one of the thousands of lyrics websites on the internet, but I'm glad I didn't)

So I emailed the guy for the lyrics. He sent them back, we just kind of..kept up with the emails.

Eventually he suggested I download MSN messenger to talk to him on. So I did. And we talked all through the summer. I turned 16 in September. On the day I turned 16, we decided to meet at the mall. He lived 2.5 hours away, in a small town called Vincennes in Indiana. (I was in Indianapolis) He drove that far to meet me. (he had already graduated from HS O.O, I was a sophomore) I took a church friend with me so I didn't get carried off into the darkness.

So, on a sunday afternoon, I met him at the food court of the Greenwood Park Mall with my friend. ^^ We walked around, talked, shopped, and had a great time! He's such a nerd.

So we still just talked until February. I remember...I was talking about a school dance and he asked me to go to it with him. I was so excited! I bought a new dress and everything. Again, he drove the 2.5 hours to take me to the dance. We ended up deciding the dance was stupid. So instead we just wandered around town, shopping and eating taco bell in our fancy clothes.

At this point, he'd introduced me to some of his friends back home via the internet. One time, he even brought his best friend Brandon up to Indy with him to hang out with me and a friend. I hated Brandon with a fiery burning passion, because he told me he thought I was stupid and immature. (which was probably true) It was a hate/hate relationship.

Lee and I dated for a long time. 2 years(long time for a 16 year old girl dating on the net:P). It was mostly internet and phone, but twice a week he would drive 2.5 hours to Indy and back home to spend the evening with me. It was fun.

Also, he would come pick me up and take me down for the weekend in Vincennes. I remember always refusing to hang out at Brandon's cause we hated each other XD

Eventually I think I got bored. Cause I dumped Lee.

We kept in touch via the internet and kept a friendship going.

I also kept in touch with his other friends on the internet, including the ocassional conversation with Brandon.

I dated around.

Eventually, I went to college. I ran into a rough patch. I've already made a post about what happened with the pregnancy. But anyway, late one night, Brandon was online and I was really struggling with some choices I had ahead of me. At this point, I was at Indiana University, which is only like 1.5 hours away from Vincennes. Brandon and I chatted, and I mentioned how I just needed a hug...

And to my surprise

He drove right up to IU that night

And hugged me ^^

He stayed the night. We did a lot of talking. He went home.

And he kept coming back.

I had a two person dorm to myself. Eventually he asked me out, but everything that was going on in my life I just had to take some time to think about it.

I moved in with him after the semester ended.

I had the baby--the baby that wasn't even his. And he was there with me through everything. I'm almost positive he's the biggest reason I'm alive and well right now.

I'm so fortunate to have found him.

Eventually, he left to go to Basic Training for the Air Force. The decision to join the armed forces had been made before I moved in with him. When he left I stayed at the apartment. I wrote him a letter every day. When he came home for Christmas he asked me to marry him.

And here we are.

So.


Extremely long story short, I'm married to my ex(that I met on the internet)'s best friend, who I used to hate.:grin1:

I couldnt be happier.

It's funny how thinks turn out.

What about the other side of the fence?

You fell in love in "Basic Training", or "Tech School".

You get to your new base, you dump whoever you happen to be married to, to pick up your new mate.

For the women: "He sucks in Bed!!!!"

For the guys: "My life's savings went where? "

Do men, or women, stop being sexy if they are poor?

:scratchchin:

[Bones]

Doesn't really answer the question.

[dk]

Some women live by the "no rolex no sex" mantra!

Probably more women than men. Goes along with the idea that man is supposed to be the provider or some shit.

[Sex Wax]

I meet all my womens on the JUForum. Just last week, I hooked up with a chick, who's username was "DocP". We met on the seawall, chugged a few Chu-His, smoked some banana peels, then went to Hard Reef, where she performed oral sex on C6, dk, TLD, socal, DougP, the HR staff, and myself. Se gave me her #, and I tried to call her back, but she said she was in another realtionship with some people from Japan Today. It was magic, but it was not meant to last.

[tim duncan]

met her through my mother of all people...

wife is nice..we have are arguments like other people...but its all good...

have heard that the pay to date sites are good to find partners too...at least they put up $ and are serious about finding a mate..and they have the funds to pay for the hook up..vs the free date sites where it dosent cost anything but a sign up to meet someone..

not saying that the free internet date sites are all bad....but imho ...if someone puts up cold hard $...they at least invested, in finding someone to develop an honest relationship.....:)

WTF? Why is Guyjin editing my post?

WTF? Why is Guyjin editing my post?

Because as a mod, he is still working on getting used to the EDIT button being where he is used to the QUOTE button being.

He "edited" your post when he meant to hit quote for his post with the :scratchchin:

Give the new mods time, it TOTALLY screws with your auto response buttons when you become a mod.

Mine was the same way. We communicated by drawing pictures on napkins.

[abonifi1]

Mine had me take her on Vacation to NY(bad move), where should purchased a gun and ammo, and shoved the gun in my head, got me in a cab, and went to the Justice of the Piece, and forced me to get married.

As we were in NY, no one noticed the gun, or the crazy woman.

Maybe I should have taken the bullet...

It's funny, but I met your wife when you you were out partying with your local friends in an area that has no Americans. She said she was tired of you going out all the time and was lonely. So I buttsexed her, slapped her on the ass, called her a taxi, and threw her number in the trash.

[Jazz]

I walked into a bar where she happened to be filling in for a friend that night and didn't normally work there. I asked her "If I buy you a drink, what will you do for/to me?" She gave me a dirty look called me an asshole and wouldn't talk to me. Then I offered to buy her a drink and I appologised and ordere a 151 and coke for myself. She poured me a glass of 151 probably 3 shots and added a splash of coke and I knew then that I loved her and would spend the rest of my life with her. Talk about romantic huh?

True story but I hope she doesn't read this.

[Spadesy]

We did the same thing :grin1::thumbup:

Reminds me of this story...

I was sitting at one of the corner tables in the bar, when this tall, pretty girl approached me. She was smiling, clad in a small, blue, two piece bikini. She sat next to me, and I asked how she was doing. I noticed she was wearing a white button with the number "17" on her bikini bottom. Well, she couldn't hear me, or anybody else for that matter, so she started to do this sign language thing. And me not knowing sign language, I whipped out the pencil and piece of paper used for the bill, and proceeded to talk to her through broken English. Her name was Nikki. We left. And that's all I remember.

*sigh* A true story of love and romance!
