How did you came across your partner ?

Totally by chance.. It was my first year at high shool.. I was spending the night with my best friend and was sitting outside on his porch watching the autuum winds blow in when this girl came up and proceded to walk right in the door, I stopped her and asked what she wanted.. She said she had come to pick up her record that my friend’s girlfriend had borrowed and left at my friend’s house.. I was strangly drawn to her and when she came back out I asked if she had gotten it and she showed it to me. I then pulled a silly gag on her and said I’d take her out if she would give me the record.. she scoffed and I thought I had just blown it then she handed me a piece of paper with her phone number on it and said, “We’ll have to debate on that” then left.. That night I called her and we talked for hours.. Later she confessed that she had seen me before in middle school, from afar.. From that moment we were inseperable.. I always wondered, even after we had married, if it had actually been a ‘chance’ meeting.. She never owned up to it.

High school sweethearts! He knew before I did! We’ve been married for almost 20 years!

We are college sweethearts, slightly unusual since we were both in our 40’s at the time. I was in a class and he wanted to add it. He asked the professor who told him there probably wasn’t room but that he (the professor) would let him know. My husband left the room but waited outside the door. A couple of minutes later the professor was seemingly so impressed by his tenacity, let my husband add the class. All my life I have known how I would recognize my true love and he came exactly as I pictured. Old news on fluther, When I saw him I felt all giddy like a fifteen year-old girl and at the next class session I waited to see where he sat then sat next to him. We got to know each other and now he is my husband, lover, and best friend.

Gaming weekend at my mom and step-dad’s house. He was friends with my step-dad and had come to their house for the weekend and I was there as well. We played different games throughout the weekend and flirted back and forth. The following month, there was another gaming weekend at my mom and step-dad’s and he was there again and so was I. Another weekend of fun games and flirting, but nothing more. Then the following month, the gaming weekend was going to be held at his house. I didn’t even think about going at first since I wasn’t really his friend at that point. Then one day a few days before the weekend, my step-dad told me that his friend (my now husband) had said for him to pack me up and bring me along too. I went, we flirted, had our first kiss, went on a first date, and the rest is history. We were both pretty hooked at that point, but I knew for sure a few months later. He knew a few months after that. We were married about a year after our first real date.

For the good ones, I found one on the internet, and another at a club.

I met him in a soils class at Utah State University. Later I wrote him a parking ticket, he found me and tore it up, and I said, “I can use this!” I blackmailed him into marrying me, and we are working on 34 years now. I don’t think he regrets it.

We used to live next door to each other and were always friends. We didn’t get together until many years later but it was never strange or strained between us. We always clicked. There was always an attraction but did not act on it until years later when the time was right.

He was the roommate of a good friend of mine who was living in Illinois (where my parents lived). I was going to college in California and happened to call my friend Scott to tell him I was moving back to Illinois. Jon answered the phone and we chatted for a bit. We had never met before.

I moved back to Illinois a couple weeks later and went to visit my friend Scott. Jon and I were inseparable once we met. That was almost 20 years ago and we’re happier than ever.

Online, in a now defunct site named TagWorld.

On the internet obviously, turned out to actually be one of those lucky dates since it went pretty good.

We’ve been together since two years ago and still in love.:d

We met online through a dating site. After several messages and a couple of phone calls, we went on our first date to the zoo. It hasn’t been a perfect relationship, but I don’t know that those exist anyway. In any case, I’m glad we found each other.

Once upon a time in a make-believe land, a woman named Pied Pfeffer accidentally found herself in a public park. Sitting on a bench was an eccentric man named Rew Rossini, who was wearing a dunce cap, Groucho Marx glasses/nose/mustache/cigar, and Groucho Marx slippers. They chatted for a couple of minutes before she moved on. The next night, they happened upon each other again, and the conversation lasted longer. This happened each day for a week, and Pied realized that Rew was someone special. For two more weeks, they traveled the globe together visiting magical lands while sharing personal stories.

This all took place on a virtual internet site called Second Life. We later gave up the sight for exchanging e-mails and then moved on to web-cam. Six months later, we met in person at an airport in Washington, DC. We were both incredibly nervous…he was worried that I wouldn’t be there, and I was worried that security would whisk me away for loitering in the baggage claim area while wearing a pair of Groucho Marx glasses.

The poor chap met my family the next day. It was Mom’s annual ‘Labor Day’ weekend in May, where all family members were asked to gather for two days of yard work. Upon arrival, introductions were quickly made before someone handed him a rake and pointed to a path in the woods that was his designated spot to clear. At some point during the weekend, when we were taking a break, Rew and Mom broke out into a duet of some old WW2 English love song, and it was at that point that I knew I really wanted to spend the rest of my life with this man.

A few months later, I traveled from the US to England to see the town where he lived and meet his parents. They confirmed that he was not a serial killer or a child molester. We are now engaged.

We had mutual friends. The first time we actually talked was one night in the summer of 1998, when a bunch of people were drinking by the creek near the trainyard. I had a bottle of Baby Duck in a paper bag, a sparkly denim miniskirt and knee-high Doc Martens. He had bleached-blonde hair, a studded leather jacket and a Walkman. It was a match made in punk rock heaven.

Where did you meet them?

In my neighborhood on Halloween night.

Was it strange at first?

Kind of, because we were both in costumes and she thought I was much older since I had a fake beard on.

How did you figure it out he/she was the one?

Well, since we dated twice before, the third time we found each other it just seemed to click, like it was meant to be.

@Seaofclouds Quite the story. Especially when you hear so many women these days say, “I want a man who doesn’t play games.”

@6rant6 That was a clever response.

Where did you meet your partner?
At work. He was a manager and I was a receptionist. We only smiled at each for about a year because I thought he was married and he never dates co workers.

Was it strange at first?
Not really, I instantly liked him and felt comfortable around him. What was strange was avoiding bringing up that I liked him or that he flirted with me on occasion. When he left our company then he asked me out immediately, we’ve been together since. At a point he came back to our company and we kept our relationship under wraps for almost a year, no one knew we knew each other outside of work much less that we were living together. Once discovered though, all our co workers were thrilled and encouraging.

How did you figure it out he/she was the one?
My mother pointed him out. Mom works where I do and told me one day one of the men there was really nice and would be very handsome if not so heavy. She asked if I knew which he was? I didn’t but because of her then I looked around to find him and watch him. My mom is no nonsense, likes very few men, has never encouraged me to any man so I knew he must be special… and special ed too but that’s another story.

We will be married this fall and will have been together 2.5yrs, co habitating for 2rs.

Hehe. How did I end up with this question? I’m partnerless :(

We met on the internet. A dating site called ChristianMingle.com. The funny thing is, I signed up on that site (and many others) as a joke when tipsy, then went back the next day and deleted them all…except this one. I forgot it. Fast forward four months when I receive a “smile” from a dude on a dating site I didn’t remember joining. Well, I checked him out, found out we were (according to the site) a 98% match and decided to go for it.

Our two year wedding anniversary was Sunday.

I met him on wis.dm, a site like this one that is no more. We were both married to other people but left them because they were not right for us and he moved to NY to be with me. We’re now a solid married unit with 2 kids and I’d never have believed it. It wasn’t strange to interact with him on wis.dm and I thought he was pretty funny and eventually we talked on gchat and then on the phone and then via webcam. After that I visited him on a business trip in North Carolina, we spent 4 days and 3 nights together and knew that we had to be with each other. Divorces were soon to follow with our ex-spouses. I don’t believe in the ONE but he is the greatest love of my life.

Met him in a science fiction film club. We started hanging out together and after a while we realised that we were actually dating.

Clothing store, folding underwear & shelving shoes. We were 15 & 16. Friendly became friends became prom dates became dating and on.

23 years later we’re still together.

I met mine online. But yeah we had common friends but vaguely knew each other. We started out with IMs and emails. Then the phone calls went on for a good 6 months until we finally met.

I came to know him via a social networking site..we are together for more than six years and o enjoy one another’s company We trust each other. We respect eachother’s concerns and beliefs.

Thanks all for replies.
