Meeting for the first time

[º°Ữţâ&]

Me and my fiance starting talking over the internet well pretty soon we exchanged telephone numbers and began talking on the telephone. We did this for a month and a half or so. And finally decided it was time to meet eachother in person. Well we set a day to meet it was November 15th 2003 he was suppose to meet me at my sisters house about 7:00 pm well he was late way late 2 hours to be exact. My sister called him up on his cell phone and told him he better get down here and not stand me up or else type of a thing. Well 9:00 pm rolled around I get a phone call he is in Walmart parking lot lost so I told him to stay there and I will come meet him. My sister just lived not to far from there. I drove over there and it was immediate attraction between us both. We went back to my sisters to let her know I was leaving and to give my baby a kiss goodnight before mommy left. We got into the car to leave and left driving around about an hour into the date I get a call from my sister my child wouldn't go to sleep and was screaming the whole time he just wanted mommy so we went back and picked him up and drove all around until he fell asleep. When we was about to end our date he leaned over and asked me if he could give me a kiss I agreed and therer we sat in his car all night kissing until 6 am the next morning. It was a magical night that we will never forget. 4 months later he asked me to marry him.

Thanks for sharing º°Ữţâ&, and welcome to the board.

Since you posted your first meeting with your husband I am going to attempt to post mine (Warning it is going to be long!):

I was going to college, working part time at Wal-Mart on the weekends, and dating a guy that I barely saw at the time. My relationship with my current boyfriend was terrible, and I felt as though I was just dating him to have something to do on the days that I had some spare time. Most of our relationship was either on the phone or during my dinner break when I was working.

About every Friday night during my dinner break I saw a guy, that was very attractive, hanging out in the eating area of Wal-Mart with some other employees that worked in different departments then I did.

One day I was studying for my upcoming exams, for my favorite class Art History, and he came up to me and asked me want I was doing. I was totally taken by surprised! I did not even notice he was there that night and I was so engrossed in reading up for my exam! I was very nervous and replied that I was studying for an exam in Art History and how I loved the class and how interesting the Egyptians were and on and on..... He sat down across from me and said he has been seeing me working and had to come and talk to me, and asked my name. I told him and then asked for his, he replied "Levi" and of course I was surprised and said "like the jeans, I bet you get that a lot." "Yeap"

From that day on he came and ate dinner with me every Friday night and after work he would pick me up and we would talk until 2 in the morning in his car, I felt weird and great all at the same time, because I was dating someone even though we stopped "seeing" each other.

After a few "dinner dates" (we were not technical dating), and a few lunch dates during the weekend days I worked, he asked me if he could call me and I nervously give him my number. The same day he asked me for my number he called and asked me on a date to the movies, I turned it down, and he asked if it was wrong of him to ask so soon after we met. I replied that I was delighted and wanted to go with him however I was dating someone and explained my current relationship and how I have been retry to break up with the guy I was (not) seeing but that I could not get him to met with me so I could break it off for good. (I did not believe I breaking up over the phone.)

The following weekend as I was taking my dinner break, still with Levi, my boyfriend came to surprise me and eat dinner with me. He did not say a word to Levi, and was not surprise that I was talking to him; I already told him about Levi and that we were just friends (which we were at the time). I told him that I needed to talk to him and Levi excused himself from the table. Then, I explained that I was not happy with our relationship and I wanted to break up. He refused and a few times after that day would sit in his car and wait till I got off work to ask me why I broke it off with him. I was really scary and annoying.

Soon after Levi and me started officially dating and were always together on the days I did not have school, he worked really late night so we saw a lot of each other.

The best time during our first dates together has to be the time that I came out his house and I saw that he bought a bunch of Art History and Egyptian books, so he could engage in my interest during our conversations all those times prior. :D

That is so sweet.

I met my fiance the same way. On the internet.

The first time we met face to face, I saw him and dropped my bags where we were standing. There was only a hi and then we kissed. I couldn't stop myself from kissing him. I saw his eyes and just had to.

We've been together 4 years now.

I met my fiance' on the internet, too! Quite differently, though. It was right after graduation.
My friend Megan had sent me one of those stupid email forwards - you answer 100 questions about yourself, and send it on to all of your friends. Out of complete boredom, I decided to actually fill the stupid thing out. Instead of sending it to all of my friends - I accidently hit reply - to everyone that Megan had sent it to!

It was forwarded back to me by Brett - I had absolutely no idea who he was! He sent along another email, and told me he didn't know who I was, or how I got his email address - but that judging from what I had filled out about myself - I sounded like a very interesting person.

We emailed a few times, I learned that he worked at my parents favorite place to eat - in the next town over. He was a friend of Megan's -
Later, i even found out that Brett had been at my senior homecoming (Long story short - My brother kind of stole Brett's date!! :P )

after a few emails, we exchanged phone numbers, and decided to meet.
He picked me up at the school parking lot, and we spent the entire day together... watched a movie, just drove around and talked. We totally clicked. June 3rd 2003, we officially started dating, June 3rd 2004, he asked me to marry him. October 8th, 2005, We'll be married =)

It's strange how destiny finds you in the places you least expect.
I know I'd seen him working at the pizza place several times before.
I live in a teeny tiny town, and our school did co-op sports with his. he'd been to basketball games where I sang the National Anthem - and where I worked the concession stand.

Him being at my homecoming (where I was on court) with the girl My brother spent the night dancing with (lol). I even went over to the table where my brother was sitting with them to get a picture (of my brother). I had actually Heard Megan talking about him before.

We had seen each other so many times - it just took the wrong click of a mouse to get us together.

those are great stories and I'm glad to hear that there are some happy endings from internet relationships in spite of what the media says. Congrats and best wishes to all of you

My fiance and I also met over the internet, through a dating service. I think internet dating and such is becoming less and less taboo and I think more and more internet relationships are making it work. Good Luck to All the Brides out there!

Me too! I meet my husband on the internet. I think it is a great way to meet someone because you get to know them before you meet. The first time I saw HIM I was not very impressed. Our first face to face conversation was not great- we were both somewhat nervous and reserved. If I had not already known what a great guy he was I would have never given him a second thought. Because I was already interested, I was willing to sit through the discomfort to see what happened. By our second date, sparks were flying and all shyness fell away. We have been crazy in love ever since.

I met my fiance on the internet as well. Kinda of different. I met him in a Quiz room i am a member of. I was seperated from my husband at the time and was involved with some one ele on line but was good freinds with Nicholas. We talked alot over the computer and on the phone. We always seemed to be with some one else.

When I was dumped by the other guy I called and talked to Nicholas and he has jsut started datign some one else. The timing was never right with us. Then around Christmas time we startd talking even more, i was back with the guy who dumped me and he was still with his girl. But as the time went on and the more we talked the closer we got. And I didn't realize it but I was going in the quiz room to see if he was there.

We finally got together in June of 2004. I explained I didn't want a phone and computer relationship. ( he was about 13 hours away from me ) He assured me that it wouldn't be this way for long so I held on cause I was in love with him. But after 3 times of him makign plans to come up and see me and them fallign through i couldnt take it any more.

I had a hard month in Dec. that yr. I was being a single mom to 2 very young kids and money was tight and i could not get hoome to see my family. And again Nicholas couldn't make it up to see me. I started talking to other guys on line through a meet singles in your area type of thing. The day before new yrs eve I met a man who lived just a couple of towns over from me. I made plans to meet him at a fast food place after work the next day.

We hit it off and I had to brake the news to Nicholas what i had done. He didn't take it well. I was hopign he would brake it off with me and that would bt it. But no he wanted to work through this. I kept seeing this other man and by the time Valentines day rolled around I was planning to move me and the kids into his place. It was all good for a while. We got along great and i think i even kind of loved him. The kids loved him and he was a great help.

But after a few months i just wasn't happy. I felt like somethign was missing and i couldnt place what it was. And every time i felt this way all i wanted to do was talk to Nicholas. And if i got the chance to things were ok for a while. Nicholas respectd that i had moved on ut underneath it all he couldnt bare the thought of life without me.

AFter fighting this feeling and tryign to make it work and talking over and over again with this guy it just hit me all at once. Nicholas had once told me inthe few times we had talked over the yr that if i ever needed him he would be here. I took that to heart.

I never ment for all this to come out when it did. I was gonna wait till the holidays were over, But i jsut exploded. Christmas was over, we had all just got up from an afternoon nap. The kids were happy but i wasn't. I told my boyfriend that the kids and I were going to go for a ride. He asked if i needed time away from him. I said yes and the kdis and i rode around for about an hour till imet up with a freind. We sat in a parking lot and talked for a while more.

When i did go home my BF and i talked for a long time and i explained that i have to go. Things aren't right somethign is missing and i jsut dont feel i fit in here with you and your family and friends. I went outside to try to call my mom, it was about 12:30 at this time and her phoen was busy. WIth out thinking i dialed Nicholas' number. I knew he would be up, he worked late evenings and i knew his sleep schedule. He answered ( i am glad cause i had left him messages on his cell phoe that i needed to talk to him ), i asked if he got my messages. He said no. I said so you dont know. He said what, your gettign married. He thought my BF would have propsed at Christmas. I told him no it was over with him and i and i needed to see him. I told him he was the one i was suposed to be with. He is what has been missing in my life. He was shocked and speechless. HE has hoped and prayed for a second with me but never thought he would get it.

I told him the only way it would work is if he was here. I cuoldn't move there because my kids father is here and i wont take them from their dad. He was here with in 2 weeks. We spent the weekend together.

That first look, that tough that kiss. I couldnt get enough of him. HE pulled me into him so close and so tight and kisse dme so hard. I will never forget that moment as long as i live. It was hard to say bye to him when he had to leave. But 3 weeks later he was back with me for a whole week. By this time i had my own place and we got to spend Valentines Day together. He gave me a promise ring and said he would be back to live. This promise ring is a pre-engagement ring. We have our date seet already.

About a month after he left that second time he was here. He lives with me now and it has been jsut over a month. And it is the best i could have ever asked for. The kids love him and he loves them. He got thrown into this whoe family life but he loves it. We hate to be away form each other and we only are when the other is working. He told me i will have a dimond by June of this yr so we can be engaed for atleast a yr. We have set a wedding date for June 10, 2006. And becuase his family and friends would have to fly in for the weddign anyways, we are going to get married in my home town about 7 hours away. My family is all still there so it saves them from traveling.

He is the most amazing man, he is 3 yrs younger then me but you could never tell. I looe him with all my heart. With every thing we have been through to get to where we are today we can make it through anythign and everthing. I cant wait to marry him and give him a child. I have always wanted 3 kids and now i can have it. But there is a chance of twins, they run in his family.

This juut shows that YES internet relationships do work out.

[usahgrad]

I've done the bad internet relationship and now I'm doing the great wonderful incredible internet thing...although, we didn't have a relationship until after we had met and knew each other awhile. However, kudos to you and everyone who's made the internet relationship work. They can be lots of fun.

[virgosleo]

Me and my husband, met 2 years ago at lunch. At first we didn't like each other at all, I couldn't stand his off the wall personality and he couldn't stand my arogance. But after a while we started talking and became really good friends. Unfortuantly we lost touch for about 6 months and then by chance saw each other on the street. We got to talking again, and became really close friends. Then one day we decided to give it ago. And last January, I proposed.
