We met randomly in a chat room in 1999. I was 15, he was 16. We talked for a few months online, then the first Friday in May (I remember b/c the first saturday in may is the KY derby, and it was the night before) We talked on the phone. Then finally I guess a liitle less then a month later we met in person (at Kmart, where he worked, and my mom drove me there. So romantic, right lol!) After we met in person he didn't call me, email me, or anything for a week, and I thought he just didn't like me and I was heart broken! Obviously we finally did talk after I sent him a kind of mean email me about how he was so superficial b/c as soon as he saw what I looked like he wouldn't talk to me lol. To this day I still don't know why he never called that week! Anyway, here we are today over 8 years later, married for a little over 2 months!

So I guess since I asked I have to tell. My friend good Julia (who lived with FH at the time) had a party at his place without him knowing and I passed out on his bed. I didn't know it was his bed at the time, I didn't even know she lived with him. In the morning he saw me and was like "who is this sleeping in my bed?" He gave me more blankets, slept on the couch and we talked for hours in the morning.

We met in high school--in chemistry class. LOL

There was a group of football players who sat in the back of the room and were known as the "Peanut Gallery." One day, one of them wrote me this crazy (and I mean CRAZY as in saying I was finger lickin' good like KFC and everything) love note and attempted to pass it all the way across the room. The teacher saw it being passed around in the middle of the room and decided to read it in front of everyone. Needless to say, the note was absolutely hysterical and got everyone's attention. Soon after that, FH and I started chatting in lab class about the note that his teammate wrote. We realized we had a lot of mutual friends and interests and were pretty much inseparable after that.

I love hearing all these stories....
Mine is in my journal but we basically met at the bar (romantic huh?) But we really hit it off right away and he asked me out on a date and I wrote my number down on a napkin. Well he NEVER called or anything and I was really upset b/c I felt the connection from the moment we first met. I went back up to that bar for months HOPING that he would be up there and he never was. Right when I gave up on him he showed up one day at the same bar, walked right up to me and slammed down a napkin with smudged writing and said, "WHAT DOES THIS SAY?" The napkin that I wrote my phone number down had gotten wet and ran but he kept it in his wallet the whole time. He was MIA for those months b/c he began his surgery rotation in school and was LIVING at the hospital and not able to go out.

Anyways ... he asked me out and made sure that he programmed my number in his phone and we have literally been dating ever since! I Love that man!!!!:heart:

Matty I love your story! Nothing like a butt-kickin' from a security guard to show your love. No, seriously, it's such a sweet story!

As for us... well, there's a pre-story. A friend of mine had this unrequited love for like, 8 years, and he was so excited when he got on yahoo personals and saw that he and the girl were a really close match. We were all trying to get him to get over this girl (which I'm pleased to announce he finally has!) so, to prove how easy it is to make someone match up to you on there, I made my own profile. At first I had it matched up with my friend's, but after I proved my point I went ahead and made it a little more true to me.
Anyway, I never really actively searched on there, but would occasionally check the greetings sent by other people. FH sent me one, and I'm not sure why but I sent one back. We went to the same university, so he decided to search facebook and I had the same picture up on both pages. He emailed me, we wrote pretty long emails back and forth for a couple days about our interests, etc. Then we started IMing... he wanted to meet me but I had other stuff going on and I put it off, plus I'm kind of leery of the whole online thing. Anyway, I finally agreed to meet him for bowling at the student union... then bowling went to the chocolate shop across the street, then we just walked all over campus getting to know each other. On 4/17/06 he showed up to my room with a dozen beautiful roses and asked me to be his girlfriend, and 20 mo later here we are.

We met when i was a sophomore and he was a senior. One of my friends had invited him to our lunch table.. As soon as i saw his shirt (my fav anime, and at the time, you couldn't hardly find any of the stuff) i pointed to him and demanded 'I will trade you that shirt for 3 movies i will tape (yes, VCR tape!) you!' He agreed, and the next day, brought the shirt!! (which i still have :heart:). Anyway, i had a boyfriend at the time.. But after we broke up, he started slowly coming over and hanging out with friends.. He told me later it took so long to as me out because he thought my brother would beat him up :notsure:. Needless to say, he did ask, and i said yes. 7 Years later, we are still together, and are getting married 8 months and some odd weeks! :soppy:

me and FH seriously just bumped into eachother at the fair...we made small talk about the carnies...he asked where my friends were I said they were all gone home because they had curfew ( i was only 15 at the time. he was 20, but we didn't realize the age difference right away)... He invited me to go to the beer tent with him...i went along w/ it (drinking age here is 19, i had my sisters ID)...we danced, I didn't drink at all though...he drove me home..exchanged numbers...and about a week later we went on our first date---I fessed up to my age..and after a mild heart attack, he accept it...when he droped me off that night, i stood @ the window and watching his truck lights until you couldn't see them anymore (we have a long forested driveway)...and I thought to myself "i'm going to marry him someday" I was right =):nosey:

the rest is history..

So we new each other as kids in church but we hated each other. His family left the church for a few years and when he was in high school we started talking online. Then we hung out and he asked me out, he said "will you go out with me" and i was like "no way" and he said "well if you don't i'm going to ask jackie out" and he was so much better then jackie who was a druggie and was very very nasty so I was like "okay i'll go out with you" So a few months later we fell in love and we will be together 4 years the weekend before we get married! He is the love of my life and my best friend!!

We met at work. It was kinda funny cause I remember checking him out once. He was with his dad and uncle but I couldnt take my eyes off him. He worked in TLE (tire lube express) and I was a cashier at walmart. The day I checked him out he had his shirt sleeves rolled up and was greesy and had his hat on backwords. I remember thinking about him for awhile that day. Time passed and I hadnt seen him which was common becuase I worked different hours then the TLE crew did. Right before Christmas I started going to lunch with some friends. Well Jon was friends with the same people. We started talking and all of us hung out. After work we'd sit in the lunch room and just talk for a hour or so. After awhile we started dating. We've been together ever since.

Another online relationship - Yahoo Chat. It was his first time in a chat room, mine....well....I was seasoned chatter. We chatted for 8 hours the first day, 8 hours the second day and met the third day, only because he was driving through my town. I wouldn't have met anyone in person that soon after beginning to chat. Its been three years now and we'll be married in less than 6 months. :geek:

I was seeing a guy I had met online, and he invited me to his roommate's birthday party. When I got to the party, the guy I was seeing wasn't there, so I started talking to the birthday boy and became mesmerized and thought to myself, "I am after the wrong guy." We started dating about a month later. :)

Okay, so they went on 1 date when they were Freshman in high school, then 4 years later, we met and began dating. Now, 3 1/2 years and 1 son later, we're happier than ever!

First of all, Matty, that is an amazing story!!!

Anyway, DH and I met in 1997 in 7th grade when I moved to IL. We were friends and attempted one date our Sophmore year. I told him I was to busy to be in a relationship (when really, I knew it would last forever, and I wasn't ready) We became best friends instead and then began dating in 2002 our Junior Year. One week before our 4 year anniversary he proposed and now I am married to my best friend whom I'm been together with for 6 years total!

We met at a photography club. We both felt an instant connection the first time we laid eyes on one another. By the end of the meeting, he had moved all the way across the room to sit beside me. We talked for a couple of hours in the parking lot afterwards. Then he organized a trip for members of the club to go photograph waterfalls that weekend (when really he just wanted an excuse to spend more time with me...lol) - so of course I went and we had several hours of uninterrupted conversation in his car. At the end of the day he asked me out - that was June of last year. Three and a half months later we were engaged - and in May we'll be married :) He's my soul mate. No question about it.

I know I posted this somewhere else; but couldn't find it, so I type it all out again.

I met my husband while I was in Oklahoma; he was there serving our church, they are not allowed to date and they serve for 2 years. I was 16 at the time and dating this guy who ended up being a REAL HUGE JERK. My dad took a job in Georgia and since I wasn't able to find a job, I had no choice but to move with them. We moved in August of 97 and the first Sunday I saw my husband and knew he looked very familliar; we started talking and we both realised where we knew each other, and we have been together ever since. We got engaged in )cotober of 97 and we were supposed to have gotten married in Dec of 97; but due to some family issues with traveling and works and stuff, we decided to wait so we got married in May of 98 instead.

Ours isn't a very romantic story. But this is how it goes I went to party at college and he was there. At first I made fun of him because he has a crazy name, but then we started talking. And he was absoultely perfect. Funny, charm, not to mention super cute. And we've been together ever since. Like I said not romantic.

I met my husband online, very randomly. Not on a dating site or chat room. I was googling things one day, which I often do when I'm bored. I came across his personal website. Right off the bat I thought he was freakin' gorgeous. I sent him a short email and a few days later got a response. Within weeks we were like best friends chatting & emailing everyday. This was in October of 2002. We were married on March 28th, 2003. This March will be our five year anniversary.

i also met FH online randomly...sort of... i was looking for someone i knew and he sorta looked like them but wasnt them and i found that we have the same fave band so i emailed him and said hey i love that band too!! and we were friends chatting, then i went over to hang out with him and he kissed me, we dated and decided not to anymore then he proposed to me while we were hangng out one day.. and i said yes :D

I met Matt at the local auto parts store. I used to go into the parts store on a regular basis when I was building my truck and fixing my other truck. I thought he was adorable, and he had something special about him that just stuck in my mind. Even after I didn't need parts anymore, I kept going in for brake fluid, carb cleaner, those little shop necessities that you can never have too much of.

We started going to lunch together after a few months, and hit it off big time! He formally popped the question on September 29 (even though we've been planning the wedding for a year and a half already) and we're getting married on July 6, '08.

I thought I had already posted on this thread...but I can't find it so that must have been another forum:bbconfused: Ok...here it is!...My hubby and I met in a chat room in Sept. 02. He was from MS and I was in MO. He came up to MO New Years Eve 2002 and we brought in 2003 together. After several 12 hour trips back to MO, he moved up here in Sept. 2003. We were married Sept. 4, 2004....There's just something about September...;)

I met my FH on Myspace!! Of all the places in the world, myspace, right?! I was browsing through people to find a friend, and was interested in his headline, something to the extent of "random thought process" and started messaging him. He lived in my city and we met up at a starbucks, each of us brought someone else to be safe, however that wasn't planned hehe.
We started dating about a month after and the rest is history, two years later, I'm engaged!

I posted this elsewhere, so I'll just copy it:

Well, in this day and age, I'm sure we all know at least one or two couples who met via the internet/dating sites. And we joke that we met over the internet, though it wasn't in the "normal" sense.

We're both avid sportbike riders, and are both very involved in the local sportbike community. Much like we have this forum for wedding planning, there's also dozens of sites dedicated to sportbikes, riders and enthusiasts. And since Jacksonville has such a huge sportbike community, there's also a couple that are specific to riders in this area.

At the time (around January 2004), I was dating a guy who rode, and was looking to learn to ride/get my own bike. Someone I knew was selling a bike, and I'd posted up about it, asking questions (was this a good price, any problems I should look for, etc....). I received a PM from a guy on the site (a name I'd run across many times, but I didn't know him personally), saying basically, "Hey, if you don't end up buying that bike, can you put me in contact with the seller... I'm looking for a bike as well." I responded back, and this began what turned into a great friendship.

Over the next several months, Chris and I continued PMing/emailing each other, and came to realize not only did we know a ton of people in common, we also only lived about 5 miles apart (Jacksonville, FL is the largest city in the U.S. in terms of square mileage, so for us to live that close was significant).

The forum we were both on had a softball team (that my then-BF played for), so one night as we're leaving a practice, I see this guy chatting with a couple of my friends. I didn't really notice him (other than that he was attractive, but I didn't really give it much thought beyond that). The next morning, I get an email from him, "Were you at softball practice last night?" That was our first encounter.

Fast forward a few more months, and my former BF and I broke up (it was a nasty, horrible break-up, too, and Chris was my shoulder to cry on). Chris and I were still talking, and I was continually trying to set him up with single girls I knew... He was just this wonderful, sweet, intelligent, funny guy, and I just couldn't understand why he was single!!! But he never would let me set him up with anyone... (?????)

One night, we decided to go for a couple beers and to shoot some pool at a little pub down the street from my house. I got there first, and when he walked in the door, I looked at him in a completely different light. It was like I realized for the first time, "Oh my God, he's HOT!" :bbredface:

We had a BLAST that night... never did shoot any pool... just talked and laughed and got to know each other better. It was a perfect first date (even though neither of us intended it to BE a real "date" at first).

But we've been inseparable ever since (that was August 18th, 2004), and the rest is, as they say, history. :D We got engaged May 26th, 2007, and we'll marry September 27th, 2008.

Oh, and as for my trying to set him up with other girls? I later found out he had already developed an interest in ME, so he wasn't interested in meeting any of my friends. :kiss:

My FH and I met at a Halloween party in high school that neither one of us wanted to go to. (It was our senior year so Oct 2004) I actually had a boyfriend at the time, but it really wasnt working out. We talked most of the night and I really enjoyed the time I spent with him. I never thought anything would come of it, but about a week later I had broken up with my boyfriend and the FH had gotten my email from a mutual friend and IM me. We got engaged in July 2007 and the rest is history.

My "honorary roommate" in my Seattle art school (I lived in a single dorm) set us up when she invited a bunch of her hometown friends from California for a weekend there. During our weekend, HR, as I will call her, realized that FH and I would make a good couple. She orchestrated this WHOLE THING on Sunday without him or me knowing...

1. HR had a friend of hers with really bad scoliosis to ask me to go to Pike Place Market to buy some salmon for her, since her back was allegedly hurting her too much to go herself (in reality, it wasn't; I'm just gullible).

2. HR knows that I love playing tour guide, so she expected me to offer to give all of her friends a tour of Pike's Market, which I did. Little did FH and I know that HR secretly instructed all of her friends except FH to make excuses not to come with me.

As more and more of the guests said they wouldn't go, FH said that he was doing his best to play reluctant, since he thought I was really attractive and was desperately trying not to come off as over-eager when he couldn't wait to get some time alone with me. Unsurprisingly, I was oblivious to this.

3. HR knows that, at 4'10" (and, at the time, 96 lbs-- YEESH I was tiny), I couldn't possibly carry a whole salmon on my own. I mentioned that I needed help carrying the large fish, so the logical solution was to ask the only male in the group to help. He happily accepted.

4. At the market, we had the aforementioned salmon packed in dry ice so we could spend some time walking around and talking. The conversation was fun and varied-- FH and I share a lot of interests in common! On the way to the art school that HR and I were attending, FH pointed out a park full of dirty homeless people and stoners that had a great view of the ocean. He wanted to go, but I told him I knew of a better spot, which I did... a secluded pier right next to the school that nobody knows about.

While we were looking out at the sea, FH pointed over my shoulder and asked me, "What kind of boat is that?" I told him it was a ferry, and began explaining the intricacies of the Seattle ferry system... And he hugged me from behind. It was so sweet!

Here's where it gets funny... I later found out FH GREW UP ON A BOAT and knows more about them than I do! THE LIAR!

Well to give a little background, my FH is a police officer and I am a paramedic or for lamens terms 'ambulance driver.'

The first time I ever saw my FH, I was a paramedic student doing a 3rd ride on the ambulance and saw him on a call. The people I was working with are were close friends so I knew I could joke with them, I told my one partner "I'm gonna marry that man one day." But all I could think was "He is too hot to want me."

Well a year went by. On this particular fateful night I was trying to get back onto my 3rd shift sleeping routine and was trying to find something to do to stay awake all night so I could sleep all day. One of my co-workers were stationed a couple miles from my house and called me up wanting to know what I was up to. Since I had nothing to do she wanted me to come visit her (she was having a slow night.)

Much to my surprise I arrived to the 7-11 where she was stationed and there her and her partner were talking with one of the local officers. I got out of the car and the first thing this officer asked me was "Are you single?" I was like 'Yea?"

So we stood there and shot the sh!t, talking, and joking around. Well, all of a sudden this officer got into his patrol car to get his two-way and two-wayed his partner to come over to chill with us too. Well, his partner was Randy. I saw that big hunk of man get out of his patrol car and I about passed out.

So, Eric (the other officer) started telling Randy that I was single and we look cute together and should go out. Talk about awkward and yea no pressure... conversation... WHATEVER!!!! I was embarassed.... well my friend ended up taking a business card of Eric's and wrote my name and number down and shoved it in Randys uniform pocket!!!! Holy cow.. this is not happening!!! Now at this point my face was probably beat red and talk about trying not to look desperate! Remembering I had a 'business' card of my own I got it out of my car and gave it to him, he accepted....

Needless to say the next day he called me... and well, the rest is history!!!

Jumping on this a little late, but I guess I needed the time to write. Randy(FH) and I met on a trip to Germany with my German teacher in 1995. I was 16 and he was 22, and he had been on this trip once before. We just hit it off really well during the 15 days we were over there, and ended up hanging out almost every day. I also came to find out that he had joined the Army for 6 years before we left on the trip and was supposed to leave for boot camp 2 weeks after we got back. So we spent the entire 2 weeks together and then promised to stay together while he was gone. We ended up together for 1 1/2 years, seeing each other as often as possible. He broke up right before my Senior prom (so I had to find a new date), and I was devastated! I met my ex (my baby's daddy:)) and we were together for 4 1/2 years. By the end of that I had decided I was miserable and I really was supposed to be with Randy, so I called him and asked him if we could try again. Well, he said yes, and I left my ex, and here we are, almost 6 years later! Oh, and he didn't propose. I got tired of waiting because I was pretty sure he wasn't going to ask ever, so I just asked him "when are we getting married?". He said "I dunno, when do you want to?". So I said "Next year". And he said okay. How romantic is that?:jplove:

I'm going to have to admit to an online meeting too.
A lil background, i was married to a navy man for 10 years, and have had my fair share of deployments. but 3 1/2 years ago, he got sent to japan and the kids and i weren't allowed to go. I knew something was up, right from the beginning. he finally decided he didn't want to be married to me but refused to give me a divorce til he came back from the states.
Well i didnt date or anything for a long time. about 2 yrs in my cousin and my grandma said i was too young and needed to go find a new guy. Well i had been married for 10 yrs and it was a little daunting trying to meet someone, so my cousin told me to make a profile on yahoo match. so i did. i dated a couple guys but didn't meet anyone I really liked. Then i got a icebreaker from FH. I sent a message back telling him he could contact me through my email, but didn't hear back from him for awhile. We started talking via Im's and then they started getting longer and longer. until we finally decided to meet.He has a son he has custody of and i have 4 of my own. So we met and got along great. Then we decided to meet with all the kids. That was when i knew he was special. He has lot of acreage and invited us out to go fishing, and riding his horses. As i watched him with my kids he was soo patient and gentle with them. However i didn't think i would ever want to get married again.But as time went by i knew i was his. lol
He proposed to me on xmas eve. and we have been with each other for a year and 4 months. but it seems like a lot longer.
thanks for sharing your stories, they were great reading. besides doesn't make me feel so stupid when i tell people we met online .
(now FH tells the story as- he was walking down the road and i yelled out my car" woohoo baby, you want a date, and he says why not". my kids crack up every time he says it) lol

We dated in high school(about 10th grade) for a brief amount of time (about 6 months) and just weren't mature enough to settle our differences rationally. Sixteen years later I was STILL thinking about him and was working with his ex girlfriend and asked her for his contact info. She gave me his myspace email. A couple weeks later I moved to Baltimore and he had just moved to Denver (both from MS). We started chatting via myspace and then yahoo messenger then the phone. The first night on the phone we talked ALL night long and I knew he was THE ONE! A couple months after that we flew back home and spent a week together and for 3 months after did the long distance thing before I moved to Denver. Now 6 months later we're married and couldn't be happier!! (BTW, sorry this is so long and rambling!)

We also met online. A friend of mine opened a profile for me on an adult site as a joke. We used to get together and joke about the lame emails that I got and the total pervs that emailed me. About 2 months after she opened the account I was going thru a serious depression fit and decided that I needed to get back out into the world. Thats when I received an email from a females profile, it turned out that my now FH was playing around on his roomates computer, saw my profile and decided to email me. His email was sweet and not all pervy like most of them and I decided to give him my #. After about 2 weeks of nonstop phone calls, some lasting 7 or 8 hours we decided to meet and from then on we've been inseperable. We moved in together 2 months after that first meeting and he proposed constantly for another 5 or 6 months before I said yes. Now 2 years later we're (actually I'm) planning our wedding. Still not sure what to tell the grandkids when we get them cause grandma and grandpa met on a porn site just doesn't sound right you know:bbeek:

I was a sophmore and he was a junior. We had some mutual friends and my good friend at the time (who I was later in a car accident with and our friendship was history due to some circumstances). She told me that Dan likes you and you should talk to him. Well, I was sorta talking and hanging out with another mutual friend of Dan and mine at the time.

We talked on the phone and before you knew it, we were spending fours hours a night on the phone. The other guy told Dan that if I wasn't into this other girl, I would date Jeanne. That pissed him off more the me. I'm not going to be somebody's second best! Dan told me he liked me and that he would wait for me until I decided. Well, honestly, before you knew it, we were just "together". We don't have an anniversary date. We know roughly when we were together which is in October, but nothing official.

I still laugh at the thought of how we met. We met online in an AOL chat room.

Before we had offically met i had pulled into his driveway at the farm, because i needed to turn around... if you know me then you know that i was totally lost... and he came flying down the hill in his diesel truck. when he saw me he slammed on his brakes and flipped me the bird and was cursing me out. Little did i know that the place i was trying to get to, is where he was in such a hurry to go to. When i got there our friend Rich was like Millsy this is Tiffany and vise versa. He was so mad at me still that he barley talked to me that night. However, after a couple of beers he was more than willing to talk to me. But believe it or not... i totally knew that no matter what i had to do i was going to go on a date with him! To this day we cant thank Rich enough because if it wasnt for the fact that it was his party we were going to we never would have run into each other! :bblol:

FH and I met online as well. After a HORRIBLE long distance relationship, I finally caved in and said "screw it" and signed myself up for a free dating website known as www.okcupid.com. I don't even remember how I came across it to be honest. Anyways, I was living alone in my old apartment at the time and would go on it religiously. It was a pretty fun site with quizzes and things you could do, and I wasn't getting creepy guys going after me which was a relief.

Prior to meeting him, or even knowing about him, I had gone out on 2 dates with 2 different guys I met off the site and it was just meh. Nothing spectacular.

Well in July of last year I found out that my great grandmother had lung cancer, so I left my apartment, put everything in storage, and moved in with her and my grandma. I brought my computer to have games and my music, but no internet. I started a job towards the end of September, and since it was a new job and all, I wasn't going on the internet.

Last December, I decided to go onto the site and I was going to cancel my account. I had a slew of messages in my inbox and was going through them and came across a message that was sent to me in August. Not creepy, really intelligent, and I laughed because the only picture he had up of himself was a shot up his nostrils. (On my profile I mentioned how I yell out answers when I watch Jeopardy, and how people probably think I am a bit "off" due to it, so in his message to me he said that he does that too and thinks it is cute) I messaged him apologizing for not getting back to him earlier, but I hadn't been on at all and gave him my email address since I accessed that daily. Later that night I had an email, we messaged on and off, and we even texted when I was in the emergency waiting room one evening for my Nana. Not even 3 days after I emailed him we were on our first date. I was soooo nervous, but he was so incredible. He brought me flowers, wrote a poem (that I keep folded up in my wallet), and even hand washed his favorite sweater - all for somebody he had never met before.

That date we went on was great. We had amazing conversation, and I felt so comfortable and at ease with him.

I can't believe it and how everything has unfolded, because I know that if I had never even messaged him back, none of this would have ever happened!!

Now we joke that we are going to have the internet at our wedding. It will never happen, but we laugh at it.

Aww! Great stories! The online ones are the best, I dated a few guys I met online but they never worked out.

I met my DH at work. We were in the same orientation training class. By the fist week we had our first date and first kiss. Somehow we knew!

I met my FH through yahoo personals. I had posted a profile for friends only, because i was new to town and bored out of my mind. He IMed on a Tuesday and we talked every night that week. We was so facinated that I was a gamer, and he didn't think female gamers existed, lol. By Friday he asked me to go out to the movies to see Matrix Revolutions with him. I am a really cautious person, so I had my dad come and sit in the back of the theater (FH didn't know). I guess it was love at first sight, cause the next day we spent hours talking over IM and we went on another date. He asked me to be his gf, and the rest is history so we like to say. I didn't tell my FH that my dad sat in the back of the theater until about a year ago. He laughed and said "thats my girl!"

Aha, I also met my partner online! When I was in year 12 I joined my first forum and started chatting to people from there. I eventually noticed that I had chat friends in every capital city except one (we only have a few down here in Oz). I did a search for people my age in that city (which is very small), and found a guy that had the same name as a singer I used to like. Liking the coincidence, I added him. I didn't like him much in the beginning - thought he was boring, lol! But one day I was really upset about something and even though we had barely spoken he called me up to make sure I was ok. We chatted more after that and I got the subsequent crush on him, but he said it would never happen (despite the fact that he was moving to my city). I started seeing someone else, and didn't get to meet up with him until many months later when my at-the-time relationship was already in tatters. Longer story short, he saved me from a horrible, abusive relationship and slowly helped me build my self-respect back up... not to mention the serious depression I was suffering from. We had a rocky start, and for the first year of our relationship things didn't go so well... but we made it through and will be celebrating our 4 year dating anniversary in September - and he swears that I am getting a proposal before then :P

We met when i was a sophomore in high school. I had JUST turned 16 a few days before and he was 18. It was his high school Graduation. He had nooo idea i was semi obsessed w/ his hotness (his brother is married to my BFF's sister so i saw his pics around the house when i stayed there) he didn't even know i was there w/ his family (his brother brought us but we were there to see my bff's b/f) Anyways he came up to me when i was trying to take a pic and asked if i know how to work my camera i guess kinda joking about me being blond i guess lol. well we flirted a little and i ran off to tell my bff what happened. when i found her she was with his his brother and timmy was on his way to tell his brother about me. he kinda looked at me funny for walking up and chillin with his family lol b/c he didnt know.

So that's how we met this is how we started dating

Well, i had a boyfriend who i loved AT THE TIME. we had been dating for 2 years but he had been gone for 9 months in basic training and stuff. The DAY i met timmy was the day he came home from the army. We had planned on getting married but soon after he was home i realized he was a different person.
My Bff's sister called and said timmy had been asking about me and wanted me to call him (i soon found out she said the same thing to him it was all their plan) so we did. I got in a fight w/ my b/f and he picked me up FROM HIS HOUSE. Our first date was to a haunted house. What i liked about him was unlike every other guy who just wants to get in your pants, he didn't even try to kiss me, not until like our 6th date, even though he obviously liked me. we haven't been away from each other since!

FH and I have been together for 5 years on the 23rd. We met at a mutual friends graduation party playing..cough cough.. twister! :lol: He was so gorgeous and I was fresh out of a dumb HS relationship (ya know, the typical i want to experience other girls type relationship ) any way.. I gave him my number, we spoke that night. We had our first date a week later. And he asked me to be his GF the day after the date. We have NEVER had a true fight (knock on wood) and Even though we have a daughter together (shes 13 months now) , we knew we would be together forever.. but we were doing it on our own terms, Not everyone elses because I got pregnant. But here we are Planning out wedding for June 20 2009!
