Disnee Dad Says..................................I met DW at a singles volleyball league, a thousand years ago. I mean a few years ago!
I went, not looking for anything but a couple of good volleyball players to fill my team. In the singles league my team went 35-1, even though we sometimes had to play 4 on 6. Ok so we were champions.
Then a girl walks into your life, a coach for a team for a sport that she can't really play!!
So she can't play for my team, but she can coach me for life.
And she has. God bless "tinky mom". 15 years in August for lucky me!

DH & I met while I was a junior in highschool. He was my shift manager at McDonald's. The first time I actually saw him, was in the ladies' room there. He was inspecting it for a big inspection the next day and I had gone in to wash my hands before my shift...his cousin was my friend and with me at the time and introduced us right there...in the ladies' room.

I met DBF ( vernon) on this site 4 years ago. Been a bit tricky as he lives in the UK and I live in the states but wev'e been doing pretty good at keeping it going .

 

[jimmytammy]

I met my DW while we were both working at a Pizza Hut. She was still in HS while I was in college. We became good friends. I was dating someone else at the time. She would go out with guys that I knew werent treating her right and I would advise her on this guy or that guy. Anyway my GF broke up with me and a week later we started dating. That was in Nov 86, and on May 12 90 we got married. Today is our 13th anniversary!!

I originally met my DH in 7th grade. We sat next to each other and became good friends. We both had secret crushes on each other.
He moved away after 9th grade and I didn't see him again until we were both 34 years old, single and unnattached. We ran into each other at a popular local restaurant. It was Love at first Sight all over again. We married 7 years later in WDW, in 1997.

 

[Pebblszzz]

Match.com. Yes, we met online. Shhhh, we don't tell everybody that!!! It's kind of embarassing, but with all the traveling I do for work, there wasn't much time for socializing - so I placed an ad, and he found me.

We met in person in a park on a sunny Saturday afternoon. We planned to meet near the stage in the park downtown. I sat on the bleachers waiting for him, and he snuck up behind me and gave me a kiss before I even laid eyes on his face!

Then he handed me a bouquet of flowers, and we sat on a blanket in the park getting to know each other. At first, I didn't feel very attracted, to be honest. He wasn't my "typical" guy. He was a blonde surfer, for one thing. And my experience with blonde men (I know, stereotyping) had never been good.

But we walked the downtown shops, and as we were sitting outside Starbuck's having iced coffee and chatting, I felt something wet and sticky hit my shoulder and my hair. Knowing there were lots of kids nearby, I assumed it was a squirtgun.

Hubby kept on talking, I kept on listening. During a break in the conversation, I glanced over at my shoulder and saw that it was a pigeon that had left it's mark on me, not a child's squirtgun. I calmly asked my "date" to go inside and get me some napkins. He didn't know why (yet), but obliged. When he came out, he saw my shoulder and hair, and said, "OH NO!!!" And started wiping it all off.

That's when I knew he was a keeper.

Our first anniversary is in two months, and we're blissfully happy!!!

Ranatra and Pebblzzzzz, you both have really interesting stories!

 

[dizneenut]

Senior year in high school. Got married 10 months after graduating and celebrated 13 years in April.

 

[CamColt]

I love hearing stories like these! Keep them coming, everyone.

I met DH at a bar(for MA people, Cais in Malden).
We first met on a Friday night, 1/28/94. His friend looked like a kid my friends and I went to highschool with and we noticed that. I went to the ladies room and returned to find my friends talking to his friend, so we sort of started talking. I wasnt very interested then. We saw each other at the same bar the following night and just said Hi in passing(we were both with much larger groups that night). The following week, we were both there again, him with 1 friend and me with a friend and her BF. We got to talking again and finally exchanged numbers.
We were married 7/22/95

 

[Tony-NJ]

we both worked for the same company, but in different states. We were both given an award ( and $5,000) for excellent job performance in the area's of the company we worked in. We didn't get together until about 2 years later when we saw each other in a bar LOL! We;ve been together ever since.

 

[cgcw]

DH & I met working together. He started to hang around at my desk or ask me to go for a cup of coffee. Neither one of us were looking for any type of relationship -- having both been just recently divorced. But, here we are, married almost 14 years.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.. no kidding!


yes, we wer ethe cast of the show.. we did preshow, and I did Magenta/Janet occasionally, and he did Riff/Eddie sometimes!

After the show a huge group of about 20 or us would go to a 24 hour diner to just have fun. We all went to the diner, and we just got to talking.


That was February/March 1990, started dating May 1990, got engaged October 1990, married September 1991.

I was a junior in high school, and a cheerleader. DH was a senior, and on the basketball team.
I knew who he was, but had never spoken to him.
One night at a basketball game, I mentioned to one of the other cheerleaders that I thought he (dh) runs cute, like a duck. hehe.

So anyway, after the game everyone went to Burger King.
I was at the counter ordering my food, when from behind me I heard.."nice ***".
I turned around to see who had said that, and it was dh. We had our first date the next night...2/9/76

That was 28 years ago.

*edit...oops I forgot to say, that was the night I fell flat on my face while cheering at the game. I tripped on some pom pom droppings and landed spread eagle in the middle of the court. Got a standing ovation
Was most likely why dh made the "nice ***" comment. LOL

 

[zulaya]

DH and I went to the same college - he was in the engineering fraternity, I was in the engineering sorority, so out groups did a lot of co-rec things together. When I first saw him, it was almost like one of those love at first sight things...I felt an instant connection...Iasked him out the day before Thanksgiving only because I won concert tickets off the radio, otherwise I don't know how long it would have taken us to actually go out. My first date ever...been married almost 8 years and 2 kids later.

 

[Credit Man]

Met my DW on a cruise. I was with friends and she was with a girlfriend. It was hate a t first sight for her and love at first sight for me. I won her over during a two year long distance courtship.
