It seems like a lot of you lucky people have found your soulmate and are living happily ever after :) It makes me curious. How and where did you and your partner meet?
I met my hubby through my former landlord. I was living in his basement and just after moving in , after couple weeks, he said to me that he`d like to introduce me to one of his best friend ever and talked very high about him and his family. So, he arranged for a movie, we were five of us and after the movie we all went for a meal and talked about each other. It was fun. After 7 months of dating we got married. It will be 3 yrs in Jan`08. We have a 10 mth old and we are happily married.
I used to work on a garbage truck, and when we stopped for morning tea, We would always make sure we were close to the local cake shop.
I noticed this young Lady with jet black hair, all the way down to her bum, and every time we came in the shop She would run out the back.
She was 15, I was 16 and here it is 39 years later, with4 kids, 14 grandkids and a lovely little cottage on raymond Island Victoria Australia, and Loving every minute of it.
well, I've read all the other answers, and Im the loser that is still with her high school sweet heart! we had the same Algerbra class and he was ALWAYS making fun of the teacher... who just happened to be my favorite teacher... and i couldnt help but laugh! The best way to get my attention is to tell a joke and make me laugh! we have been together for about 3 years now! we started dating in our Junior Year and got married just after we graduated!
Me too. We were highschool sweethearts. We have been living together since he was a sr. (long story he was working, on home school, went back to finish up, while still working) I think I have the best Hubby in the world and I would not change a thing!
That's just cool to be with your highschool sweetheart! You are very lucky to have almost 'always' known who you wanted to spend the rest of your life with :)
I am LOVING hearing these stories. I guess I'm a romantic at heart haha Being single, this is also kind of helpful... :) Thanks so much for all of the answers, keep them coming! xox
My fiance and i met thru a online dating site.... I was only there for a laugh, as i had my girlsfriends daughter boarding with me at the time and she was 10 yrs younger than i.... the site was one where you got 'rated' good looking or not.... so i thought as a little older than her and with 3 kids, i'm gunna do this also.... but truly just for the laugh, to see what a 30 something 'chick' would rate.... I ended up rating better then her.... how cool.... only just though.... anyway, you could also chat with people thru this site if one of the 2 party's were a member.... I got hit by this great guy and we started chatting on-line.... after about 4 days of chatting he invited me to his place, was ready to fly me interstate so i could attend his fathers 60th party with him.... I kinda say no at first but within a week i had agreed to fly, way out of my comfort zone to a whole new area.... I spent 10 days with him and came home engaged.... he moved to my state for 9 months b4 having to return for a job offer.... we have been apart now almost 8 weeks, and im going crazy.... but in just over 4 wks time im moving to his state to live.... woo hoo.... I have never been more happy in my life.... Fate has a big hold on us..... and i'm going to live all i have with him.... I love him to bits....
Haha what a cool story! I'm terrible at taking risks with relationships which is funny because for a living I do dangerous things such as play with fire.
if someone 18 months ago, told me that they had met someone on-line and after just 3 wks of talking to them they were flying across the country to met in person.... I would have told them they were NUTS.... how dangerous it would be... Blah Blha Blah.... Because, i have always been very frightened of strangers, more strange men..... but for what ever reason, (and they i can't explain) I felt so comfortable with it all.... and wasn't one bit frightened.... I still have a hard time understanding it, and when i talk about my story of finding my love, i still think OMG.... i don't know why i took such a risk..... But i wouldn't change it for anything.... we plan to marry in the new year....
Hi, l meet my hubby nearly 16 years ago through a friend......l was 16 years old and a friend and l went out one night , she was looking for her boyfriend so l tagged along. We ended up at a pub (l waited outside and watched through the window).....anyhow she managed to find her boyfriend and l met my hubby (he was 18 1/2 years old) as he was friends with her boyfriend.....cut the long story short we have been together ever since married for 13 years in Feb, we have 4 sons 14, 12, 9 and 4 and another son on the way due late March early april 2008.
We met in a place niether of us should have been. It was a 'community' of those who no one else would house. I was there as i had no where else to go and same with my partner. Most of the people living there were not the type you'd normally associate with. I was a student and working (once I got there!) and my partner was getting over a nasty break up. After 1 year of knowing each other, we figured why not and have been together for almost 7 years. The first opportunity we got, we were out of that place and up to Queensland. We think that our story is a fairy tale of sorts and I might write a book about it one day (with him of course! lol)
We met when I was doing security in a nightclub on New Years Eve! My uncle also did security there & knew hubby & his mates & introduced me to them. Fell in love instantly & eventually we got the guts up to kiss each other - after about 7 weeks! lol
my sweetie and i met in a rather unconventional way i guess, we met over the internet, quite taboo really, we dont tell his nan that!
funny thing was we lived about 15 minutes away from each other and i already knew heaps of members in his family quite well! i had even met his mum who lived miles away!
regardless of the unusual way we met i know he is my soulmate and im glad i didnt meet him drunk in a bar or on a blind date or something!
My hubby and I met through chatting online. We became friends, then phone pals, then pen pals, then we finally met. A couple of years later we met, had a 4 month engagement and then married. Fast forward 10 years later and he's telling on me online. LOL
I met my hubby at the airport the day I landed in Canada.. My friends whom I was coming to meet asked if he would mind coming to help pick me up as he had the space in his car.... Anyway one of my mates were living with him and we went back to their place for dinner and then myself and another friend took off to where I was staying.. did not see hubby to be for a month, then my situation changed and I moved in with him and my friend and never left. We were married 8 months later...
The story is much longer and a lot more romantic then that.. :) If you want to know the full story then just ask... :)
Happily married 7 years now, and I have been in Canada 8 years next month...
i meet my hubby at a friends birthday party, we have been together now for almost 4years, he was the show off at the party and i made fun of him lol, and still do now and then,
It's a shame we're losing the art of the written or penned letter.
That reminds me of my host grandparents in Canada. Both were pen pals in Italy but they were from different parts of the country (opposite sides apparently). Then my host grandmother moved to Canada with her family and they kept writing, and then my host grandfather moved over to Canada with his family and when they met each other it was love at first sight.
I still write letters all the time... :) I love writing.. Just people don't write back LOL they say, sorry did not write you back E-mail is faster... :)
It's funny how letters used to be the norm and now when you get a letter in the mail, it usually end up being a bill :) I'd much rather get the kind of letters you were getting haha :)
My friend "S" met a girl on Myspace, and now they are married, and what is really cool to me, is that "S" is in a wheel chair, with 3 kids, and she took all that on and loves him!
That's not geeky, try this for geekyness..... I met my partner though an online dating site. We emailed, then talked on the phone then met up in person.
