My husband was stationed in Ct and there was a club on base that several friends of mine went to all the time. We met these guys and i started talking to one of his freinds. He is very quiet so never had much to say. i would call their room and talk to his roomate with no idea i was talking to him when he answered the phone. Fast foreward a little but we went to a party, with same group of people. We hung out and had a great time. Oh but he is leaving the next day for 6 month run on a sub. I say FOREGET it and start dating someone else before he gets back. So my best freind is dating someone on that boat as well and i go with her to meet them. See my husband for a distance but dont bother with going to seee him. Next day i get a phone call, but i am still seeing this other guy who is comming to see me from Hawaii. I put my husband off for 2 weeks. The other guy and i decided to break it off when he left so i finally agreed to go out with my husband. And 11 years together, married for 6 and 5 kids later here we are lol!!
Thats a nice story. It's good to hear people happy about their relationships, so many people complain! I met my wife at a party. No exciting story, we've been married going on two decades.
CLeValley and I have one of the strangest relationships - we do everything together. We dont yell and scream at each other or our children, we talk about it and we all figure out a plan. He helps me with housework, laundry, grocery shopping and what ever needs to be done.

That's so cool.
My man stalked me at my work for a few months. I was his son's school teacher.
He kept leaving notes and roses on my car.
It kinda freaked me out. ...no, it really freaked me out.
But I finally went out to dinner with him and he was just so cool, laid back and funny that I did it again. And again. And then I started hanging out with him more and more often.
I'm so glad that he didn't scare me off.

We met at work. To preface this story, I had been interviewed by my soon-to-be boss, and I came from a pretty free lifestyle. Lifeguard, scuba instructor, avid boater, motorcycle rider. So when he decided to give me a chance, he told this girl to "watch out for this guy, he's a no-good beach bum".
The weekend before I met her was the annual Solar Boogey, a huge beach party we had every year. We start on Friday and don't end until we have to on Sunday. Well, sometime Saturday a huge squall blew in, kinda like we had here a few nights ago. I could write a paragraph on just that, but let's skip forward to me tending my sailboat all night thru the storm. Didn't get much sleep. Crashed on the beach next day (me, not the boat) and continued to party where we had left off. Called it a day, sailed the boat home, cleaned up the party site and headed home to sleep. That was Sunday. Monday was my first day on the job (good planning, eh?). I walked in, sunburned, hungover and not making my best impression. She looked at me and turned to her co-worker and made some comments about having to work with this idiot..... Well, she wasn't any prize at the moment either... the previous week she had tried to help a dog that had gotten tangled on a fence and was strangling. For that helpful deed, she was bitten and lacerated unmercifully and was now bound in bandages. Good first impressions on both parts. Anyway, time goes on, and a few months later I was going river rafting in PA, asked her to come along. I don't think we had even kissed yet, and we were in the sack....
Courted for about 3 years and finally got married.
Sorry to say, unlike most here, she thought the grass was greener on the west coast after 18 years of marriage.

That was a good story. You are no more?

She stood out from the rest…
On seven hour bus trips through Europe, it is virtually impossible to not have an opportunity to meet and converse with every person on board. Having been on several of these, I made a habit of introducing myself up front, before ever boarding the bus. Most of the people for this particular trip I already knew, so that made it a little easier to say hello to the others.
I’d never even seen her in our travel club community gatherings before, no less coming along on one. So I introduced myself. I thought at first she was a part of the bus tour company, bringing European tourism expertise to our group. Since we were traveling to Landeck, Austria to whitewater raft, this made sense to me (there were no local experts in our group). And she was clearly European, with blonde hair and hazel eyes. And very pretty.
But I soon learned after we departed that she came along with one of her friends (nor was she married to the German bus driver, as I also initially thought was a possibility!). By the end of that weekend I felt there was a subtle, but mutual attraction. I was leaving one week after to Saudi Arabia for the summer, so there was really no point in thinking it was anything more than just that.
But while on the return trip from Austria, a few of the club regulars were brainstorming another trip. Our club had never traveled to St. Tropez, France before. And she knew of a French military recreational hotel there right in the heart of St. Tropez which could inexpensively house a group our size. She agreed with the trip planners that she would look into that for a trip the following September.
Though I kept in touch with the clubbers through e-mail, I was interested in going on that trip and wanted to learn more about it. It was she who mailed me the brochures of the place, and kept me involved despite my being deployed. I think that’s when I knew.

Nope. She left summer of 2001, got the papers finalized Dec 23 2002. My Christmas present. Been single ever since, and actually very happy about that.

Who got the better grade that year, him or his son?
I guess it's good for both of you that his stalking paid off.

I enjoy that. I had an ex that wouldn't even go to CVS with me because he "didn't need anything."
I like doing things together.

Husband definitely got the better grade.
His son was so misbehaved he got kicked out of my school.
He was like a child that needed Nanny 911.Now I tell him that I'm allowed to spank him if he gets fresh. He's much more polite now.

..that I was still in a deep sleep, dreaming. My meds were starting to wear off, clearly. It was time to renew my prescription, perhaps even increase my dosage. The doctor was quick to agree, and began writing a new one immediately.

Met mine on Yahoo Personals. Saw the thumbnail--it was a pic taken from about 50 feet away. And just like that I knew I would end up married to him. It took me 50 years and two tries to get it right. Been married 4 years and we are still newly

My friends and I decided to go out one night and headed to the Brass Rail, when we got there it was 1am and they wanted to charge us $10 to get in and a few guys came out and said come down to our bar and we will let you in and drink for free, so we followed them down to Monks
, being from Calvert we thought we were never gonna get there, we went in and it was dead and my friends and I only saw one guy in there that was cute. So "the cute one" asked us what we wanted to drink and fixed us our drinks, come to find out he didn't work there. Later he asked me for my phone number and I gave it to him but he thought it was fake b/c it ended in 0222 so I gave him my cell #, then he left with his friends to go to IHOP. I was thinking if he was really into me he would have stayed but he called me the next day and that night we met at the Tiki Bar and sat on a bench on the island for hours talking. 3 months later I was pregnant and we got married, now workaholic and I have two kids and have been together for 7 years
I would marry him again tomorrow too

I found love in a K-Mart store
DH and I met at a party and had dated years ago when we were 18/19 and then I moved out of state. I came back in 98 and ran into him in K-Mart and we have been together ever since. When those K-Mart commercials came out we cracked up laughing and the kids get a kick out of the story.
