How did you meet your other half?

I met my wife in Microbiology class. Put a boy and a girl and a microscope together, and things will happen. That was in 1986.

We met on another website 6 years ago- been married for almost 2 years now, lived together for 1- life is good

I was fortunate enough to meet DH on the job. It was only after dating that we began to realise we shared common interests that bond us to this day. We were both older, so that was a huge help; we had already learned to live by ourselves, so to speak, and never had the crushing dependancy issues that plague relationships when we met.

Sharon and I were laying in a crib.
(our moms were friends)
I guess she was stricken by my good
looks and animal magnetism!
She proposed and we were married
when we were 20. We are now in
the process of growing old together.
I think its going to work out.

My husband met his ex-wife playing EverQuest!

After that marriage failed, he came home to Michigan, and I met him not long after he got back.

An old friend of his was trying to help him out, so he set him up on a date with a friend of his who is also a friend of mine.

They came out together to trivia night in our local pub and we were all playing on the same team, she wasn't interested in him romantically, but I sure was.

We got married in the same pub last March after nearly 3 years together

I accidentally ran over him with my car on my 21st birthday. Been together 15 years now.

My dh and I met in a chat room for people who lived in Idaho on IRC's undernet back in '96. He was in the USAF, stationed near Boise, and I lived in the panhandle. A week later, I gave him my phone number and a week after that, my room mate and I were moving in with him, though the roomie didn't stick around long. Dh and I married 9 months to the day after meeting online (wasn't planned that way) and celebrate our 12th anniversary in a few weeks. We have 2 boys who are 11 and 10 and I can't imagine my life without any of them!

Willow_girl,I like your title,adjustable wench.Most ladies would take offense to being called or thought of as a wench.

On with the topic.I used to stop in a local truck stop when I left work.I always got a Carmelo and a Sobe energy drink for my ride up to the Blue Ridge Parkway.One night there was this freckle faced lady there with long black hair.We started talking every night that I stopped in.We were both going through divorces.Mine was about to be finalized and she was going through the year seperation.We started meeting at each others work for lunch and dinner.Then going out on real dates and visiting each other at home.She is 6.5 years older than me.We both already had children.She had two girls and I had one son.We decided to move things along after ten months of dating.We moved in together,and decide to try for another child.She wanted a boy.I gave her a boy.She moved back to Kentucky during her pregnancy.I was there for the birth of my son and his birthdays.After 3.5 years her mother asked her to move out so her brother could move in.She came back to me,and for the last 2.5 years we have been trying to reconsile our relationship.Unfortunately we have grown apart and are looking for two different things in life.It's just a matter of time before she decides to run away again,but that's how we met.

Dh and I met when he was playing the piano for the children's program at our church and I substituted for the music leader who was on her honeymoon. We actually knew about each other...but didn't really talk until then. We went on our first date on Dec 2 and were engaged on the 23th - Married in March.

Well, I KNOW that this isn't going to be any help. When DH and I met, neither of us were Christians and both were in the military. We ran into each other at a bar that the military personell frequented. His friend tried to pick me up, but I had eyes only for him. LOL We married 2 months later and that was 24 years ago.

This will be absouloutly no help.

I met my DW in the Olympia Bar in Lloret Demar Spain after I came 2nd in their Mr. Olympia" contest. There where only 3 of us in the contest and the 3rd guy had way to much sangria to even pose.

She's from Austria and I was stationed in Germany and had gone to Spain for our R&R after coming off the border.

Might does not make right, but it sure makes what is.

My family and I had left our home church for a while to go help my aunt get a church she was starting off the ground. We went there for about a year, and decided it was time to go back to our home church.

In the time that we were gone a new family had started coming. The first Sunday back I was standing in the foyer talking, when this really pretty girl (the oldest daughter) comes "casually" walking by. I smiled at her, spoke to her and introduced myself. We became friends, started dating about a year later and married three years after that. (I'm about 3 years older, and had to wait til she graduated high school. ) That's been almost 27 years ago, and she's still beautiful. In fact, I have Trace Adkins' song "One Hot Mama" as her ringtone on my cell phone.

My husband and I were set up on a blind date. My friend called and asked me if I'd go on this date with her and her husband. I thought there was no way I'd go. I said, "NO!!!" but somehow the word, "yes," left my lips. I am still not sure how that happened.

We were married eight months and two days later.

after spending 3 days on my boat and running 400 plus miles i stopend in VA.Beach we met on 4 july i thought she was beautiful and i still do

Don't complain, just do it

I met my beloved H at a rodeo.....I didn't like him.


I couldn't live without him now.

my hubby is a few years younger, and i also didn't like him! he was a real brat that i'd known for a few years. i was 18, he barely turning 14.

but a few years later when i was going thru a terrible break up (that i knew was coming for months) he came around again. honestly tho., i got him cuz i prayed for him. i prayed for a guy with 5 things going for him specifically and kid you not, the very next day we met up again on a trail ride. and i was almost creeped out by how one by one, he 'did' all those requirements i had listed off. we dated for 2 months and got engaged. its been over 15 years now, and geesh, he's still younger than me!

DH says I got him out of a free box at a yard sale - first time I met him was at a gas station, I ran into a post and the fender was rubbing against the tire, I was trying to pull it out, and he came along and helped. I was still in high school. Several months later, I was waitressing while in college, he came in (a high voltage lineman) and left big tips= then asked me out on a date. Neither of us were Christians at the time, but he had a Bible in his car his sister had given him and said "I think there's something to this" I thought, "oh brother", on one side, but really had been doing some soul searching. We both became Christians seperately, but while dating, married within a year, have been married 27 years. He is my best friend.

I met my DH in the grocery store. I was in the middle of a much needed divorce, and had just gotten my first child support check. It was a Sunday afternoon, and I hadn't done much with myself (ugh!) and here I am pushing a cart with 2 little girls and cases of vegetables, tomato sauce, spaghetti - you name it and I keep running into this same man over and over in the aisles. We introduced ourselves at the check out line. A few days later I was visiting my attorney and here comes the guy from the grocery store - he practices with my attorney! Long story short 6 months later we were married, and that was 16 years ago this April.

I was in my senior year in high school. The guy I was dating and I were supposed to go out with another couple and I got stood up.
The other couple asked me to go riding around with them rather than go home.
Then we ran into a friend of the guy and he introduced me to him.
We hit it off and started dating.
Six months later, we got married and 48 years, three kids, nine grandkids and two great-granddaughters we are still going strong.

Threads like this make me miss my dog. Thunder was an absolutely awesome dog, everyone loved him, people would introduce their friends to my dog while I was walking him. And guys who would never have approached me without him could use him as an excuse to strike up a conversation.

DH was Thunder's friend long before I even met him. He worked in the store next to the grocery store I shopped at. There was a bench in the shade of deep overhang where I would leave Thunder while I shopped. When DH would see him there, he'd take his break so he could go sit with Thunder and talk to him (Thunder was that kind of dog)

One day, Thunder and I were at a friends house and this guy comes in with long hair and a leather jacket. When he saw I was there, he was going to make an excuse and leave (he was actually kind of shy around me) but then he saw Thunder and knelt down to pet him and talk to him. LOL, he even knew Thunder's name, because like I said, people would introduce other people to my dog.

He barely spoke to me then, but after that we began to run into each other all the time. It turned out we had several friends in common. He was in a relationship, so we were nothing more then friends for years. But as soon as he broke up, he started hanging around more and more. After he got off work, he would come to the horse ranch I was living/working at and shovel manure for a couple of hours to impress me. It worked!!!
But I can say it's all because of Thunder.
