Wanna play again?

Where did you meet your significant other? How long have you been together?

 

[ddavis860]

I met my DH at work. He would bring coffee up to the girls on the midnight shift, and I guess he liked me best

We have been together 24yrs

I met my Dh at a Single's Sunday School class at church. We have been together for about 10 years and married for just over 9.

I knew mine for years before we dated. His family owns a restaurant that we frequented, so he even waited on me a few times. It wasn't until his sister and I were at the same Jr. College and we became good friends that he asked me out.

I met DH at college. We were in the common room of my dorm watching the playoffs and he and I were the only ones cheering for the Cowboys. He asked me to dinner after. We've been together 25 years and married 19.

DH and I met at work. Someone dared him to come into my office and play a joke on me. The rest is history. We've been married over 18 years.

I met my DH at the University of Miami. We dated for a month and I dumped him, he was just too nice! About three years later, I was bored one day and looked him up and called just to see what he was up to (I figured he was married with kids by then). Well, we went out that night, two weeks later we were engaged and 6 months later, married. That was almost 15 years ago!

My DH was the friend of a friend. I didn't like him much when I first met him, but after three years of hanging around together he changed my mind. We dated two and have been married 12 years.

DH and I met in college. We were both going to a conference with a group of students. My friend thought he was cute. After one of our planning meetings, he asked if the 2 of us wanted to go to the bar with another guy we knew. We went and he asked me to dance. The rest is history. We've been together for 23 years and married for 20.

I met my DH at work. We both worked at ToysRUs and at first he didn't like me. I started dating another guy. We would go to DH house to hang out and we would have great conversations and leave the boyfriend out of them. We then decided that we really had a good time together and I dumped the other guy (who also worked with us and quit soon after that, but is now friends with my DH and calls the house all the time but that is another story) We dated for 4 years and have been married 12 years.

We even had Geoffrey giraffe at our wedding.

We say that DH and I met my first day of college. He was a year ahead of me so he was already there. In actuality we had went to the same highschool but we hung out in different groups so we knew each other by look but had never talked. We've been together ever since that first day 15 years ago however we only got married 4 years ago and then bought the house and had the kid. LOL wonder whats next...

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

We met at a bar.

He was crushing on my BFF.

He had a fractured skull so he wasn't in his right mind.

His date was late.

the rest is history.

LOL



Seriously, we did meet at the enlisted mens club on base. My BFF came looking for me in the sports bar and stopped at the next table and asked if he knew Buffy (she was looking for me). Before he could answer, she saw me so walked away. He was her ex-boyfriends section leader so she would be there at muster on duty days when they were dating. DH always told her boyfriend that one day he was going to steal D's girl from him. She could never remember his name.
So BFF is trying to hook up with one of the bartenders in the rooftop bar in the hip-hop side of the club (there were 6 actual bars inside the club) DH was there with a friend and waiting for his date. He had just gotten out of the hospital because he fell on base, hit his head and fractured his skull.
I walk up to the bar to get a drink (soda, I was underage) and the bartender gave me a coke for free (this is the guy BFF wanted). DH turns around and says "well you're all hooked up aren't you?" I'm like "uh yeah I guess so." I go dance, come back, he's still there, his date is late and they were supposed to meet there. So we're talking and what not, his date shows up and completely ignores her! LOL

We head over to the country bar and hang out there most of the night. Now mind you, in this time of my life I was A) sick of men and B) a total player. But I could not shake DH for the life of me, and I tried!! LOL

Well the rest is pretty much history, we were inseparable since except for when he went home on leave for Xmas and even came back early to take me to a New Years Eve party on base.

[Queenie]

We met online on a messageboard, knew each other by username - not much else. He came to a board meet I organised with another girl but not actually dating her, he'd just gotten over a severe stomach flu so wasn't exactly the life and soul of the party KWIM? I liked him anyway, we started meeting up for gigs and stuff in my hometown (I was 15 he was 27!) - he was living an hour away and I was dating someone else.

I moved about 3 hours away suddenly, didn't see him for 3 months until he came to a NYE party hosted in my new town by a mutual friend. I'd split up with ex by this point and I spent pretty much the whole night with DH, he came back and slept at my place along with some others (by now I was 16). Next week I was staying at his place and that continued frequently for about 9 months until I moved in with him (there was a good college nearby that offered me a place even though I'd gotten dodgy grades - he was lonely and had a spare room). I never slept in that spare room! We started out friends sharing a house, just over 3 yrs later he asked him to marry me!

We've been married almost 5 weeks!

I met my DH a bar -- a set up. My brother's girlfriend at the time, had a friend whose boyfriend was my DH's roommate. I did not want to go. The girls came to the house and made me get dressed. I never see those two anymore, but I am very grateful they pushed me out the door that night! I was 23 and DH was 30. Dated 2 yrs, engaged 1 and happily married for 11 years now.

I met DH in college. DH doesn't actually remember the first time we met, and I continually tease him about it. We had a mutual friend, and there was an engineering fair, and since both DH and I were in interested in the same engineering discipline our friend introduced us, and we walked around the fair together. However, I didn't see him again for about 6 months. The friend and I started dating, and so after that we started doing stuff with DH. Friend and I were together about 8 months, and about 3 months after we broke up, DH and I started dating. And we've been together ever since. Friend was my "Man of Honor" at our wedding. We've been together 13 years, and our 10th wedding anniversary was this year.

 

[JandJ]

My BFF threw a big party for a mutual friend's birthday and she rented out part of a club and invited everyone she knew. So I sometimes say we met at a club BFF used to date DH's friend so she knew him for years (and never thought to introduce us before!!). I wasn't going to go to the party, and come to find out neither was DH, but at the last minute we both decided to go. BFF introduced us and we hit it off immediately. We were long-distance our entire time dating and our second "real date" was at Disney. We were engaged 9 months later and married 9 months after that (at Disney!).

 

[Raenstoirm]

We met the first day of freshman year of college. Became friends shortly after, inseparable shortly after that. We had all the same classes (same major) and even worked together. We introduced our mom's to each other and all, but never considered dating. I got to know his girlfriend really well in fact. Then September 11th hit and I was living three blocks from the White House. My mom went insane. She made my dh and I go to his moms house and his mom kept us in the bomb shelter of the house for almost a week after (she was a wee bit paranoid about something else happening). Something sort of clicked those few days and two weeks later (on September 25th) we discovered mutual feelings. We were officially living together by October. We got married on our 7 year anniversary, September 25, 2008 just a few weeks ago.

 

[New England Eeyore]

I met DH at work during one of my co-op jobs during college in a hospital pharmacy. It was the worst job I ever had - completely miserable people in the department and a just generally crappy 6 months - except for him. As he was the only person who didn't spend the entire 8 hours they were there with a scowl on their face and a litany of complaints streaming out non-stop, I stuck to him like glue. He was always smiling and he made things fun - we used to have races to see who could fill the drug carts the fastest and when we went out to the floors to do deliveries, who would make it back first. And we were such a good team - everyone else spent so much time complaining that he and I were always done with our duties way ahead of the others. Anyway, right around the start of my 6th and last month there, he asked me out, and the rest is history. We started dating in December, moved in together in April. I was 21 and he was 28 (with 3 daughters - instant family.) We've been together 9 years, married for 6.

So I always say it was the worst job I ever had, except really it ended up being the best, for a different reason. Oh, and he stayed at the hospital for about another year, then finally had enough and decided to look for greener pastures.
