My mom met D at a NYE party at Christy's house and they (my mom and Christy) decided we (D and I) should go out. Under normal circumstances I would never agree to a blind date, and definitely wouldn't agree to go out with someone my mom picked out (the horror :drama: :roflmao:). I knew that they'd mentioned it to him, so when Christy asked if she could give him my number I said yes because I didn't want to seem rude. :lol: We went out and clicked instantly. I'm glad I took a chance when I otherwise wouldn't have.

I'm a good fixer upper. :biggrin:

Oddly enough, I was just looking through your wedding photos tonight.

I'm not cool enough to have a story of my own (though I'm sure it's a story in the making), but my parents have one.

My father was a big time jock: hockey, football, baseball. My parents, both 16, went to different schools. My mom's best friend was dating my dad's best friend, and my dad told Vince (his best friend) to tell Eva (mom's best friend) to bring TWO girls for him to choose from (what can I say, my dad's a cocky SOB). One look at my dad, and Julie (mom's other best friend) told my mom that my dad was "hers", and my mom, always one to rise to a challenge, decided she was going to get my dad for herself. My dad was driving both Julie and my mom home after the date, and he leaned over to my mom to tell her that, at the next light, they should do a chinese fire drill and leave Julie in the intersection. They did, and the rest is history. They've been together for 33 years, married for 30.

We met when I was in sixth grade. He was playing basketball with the guys in my court and asked me to be his cheerleader and prance around with him. After basketball we all sat around eating bananas and saltine crackers...why, I have no idea but I remember it like it was yesterday. We started dating when I was a freshman and he was a senior, in 95' :yay:

Today's his birthday actually...I love that man :swoon:

Throwing the deuces
I met my husband at the vet's office. We both had our ferrets in cages in the waiting room. I don't remember why but I had let mine out and she immediately went potty between his feet. I apologized and cleaned it up. He barely spoke to me. I thought "how rude!". I ended up going home and calling the vet's office asking the receptionist to give the guy with the ferret my name and number. I came up with a lie saying I had talked to him about starting a ferret playgroup. She gave it to him and he called later that night. Unfortunately, I had already gone to bed so there was a note on the kitchen table with his name and number. I went to work and called him from there. We talked on the phone for a few days before going out.

Our first date was a drive from Alexandria, VA to Lusby, Md to check out the house he was building. All there was was a big hole which I thought his intentions were to kill me, throw me into the hole and then build his house on top of me. I was terrified. Needless to say (since I'm still alive) that he didn't do that and we ended up getting married 3 months after we met!

A conversation with my coworker (about how it's easier to meet people if you go out and do things on your own) got me thinking about how I met hubby (D). We met at a bar :)lmao:) and I was there with my male roommate. My male roommate got up to go play pool, and I stayed at the bar by myself. D's dorky friend tried to talk to me, then D sat down to talk to me and the rest is history.

I was wondering if my roommate had stayed at the bar with me if D would have ever started talking to me. Or if I'd gotten up to play pool with roomie, would D and I have ever met?

So, how did you meet your spouse, and have you ever thought how a teeny, seemingly-insignificant detail could have changed things? Do you think you'd have met your SO another way? Is it truly fate? Coincidence?

I asked a girl standing next to B to come to an after work party, she looked like a "fun" girl. I told B she should come to. B showed up, the other girl didn't. We've been together ever since.

I will just say this. If I did not work at Little Caesar's when I was 18 I would not have my 3 kids. I had a blast there and met my baby daddy when he came in to order bread sticks on a daily basis. He was dating a coworker then but 6 years later was not.

I had just moved here to MD & needed to switch my car insurance over. Got insurance, a job and then ended up dating my boss. A year later we were married (after I swore I'd never remarry!).

For once we agree. At first all he wanted was the :bangbangbang: but he fell in love with me because I was mean to him and he couldn't have my feelings; something he had yet to experience in his life. :lol: The first time he told me he loved me I pretended like I didn't hear him. :killingme He said it a couple more times without much of an answer then one day before he left I said "maybe I love you too."

It was an Anna Nicole (lovinmaryland) pep talk that made me decide to give him a real chance. I'm forever in her debt as I can't imagine my life without him.

I could tell that he really cared for you. The way he looked at you (and still does) gave it away.

Congrats to you both :love:

I had a first date at a bar called cell block(miss the shooter chair), we were going to meet around 10pm. I was bored so I went up a few hours early, just to hang out and see what was happening. That same night, the ozzy concert was cancelled and a girl i had met a few times came into cell block. She sat down beside me and started telling me how bumed she was about not seeing ozzy. Well a few hours, few drinks and a few dances later, we left the bar together. She has been putting up with my crap for 18+ years now. Poor woman.
Oh- My "date" for the night was not happy about being stood up and never talked to me again.:killingme

aww how sweet, all of these love stories. I personally don't have one at this time because im not officially with anyone right now.

While I do love the idea of love, romance and fairytales I personally am not looking for that. I am looking for convience and stability, so I personally don't think about fate. when I go somewhere and someone asks for my number or I am interested in someone, I go for it. What's the harm? I could meet someone and live happily ever after or I could never speak to them again. I try not to wait for "fate" or cuppid to come around, I make as most opportunities as possible. Whatever happens, happens. I think if I sat around and thought about fate I would ask myself... what if I had never met my babydad? would i have my masters? would I still be in St.Marys? etc but i dont think about the what if's i just go with the flow.
What I will say though is, sometimes when someone makes me happy I think "wow, if I hadn't gotten out of the last relationship (that i cried about for a few days) I wouldn't have met so and so." I am also noticing that some of you move pretty quickly in relationships, are you not scared that this fate might lead you in the wrong direction and 10 years later your divorced and lonely?
Not sure if this makes sense to anyone, maybe i am just rambling my crazy thoughts off idk.
