I know a few people on here, have fantastic stories, and I am feeling in a loving mood tonight.
Mine was pretty straight forward.
Charli met Andrew when she was 14.
He caught her perving on his behind.
2 years later he asked her out, and the rest is history.

I met my husband 6 years ago.
My friend was dating his friend.
I had no interest in him what-so-ever (he tried to hook up w/ me the night our friends met).
I was basically living w/ my friend.
His friend didn’t have a car so he was frequently driving him to her apartment (again, I may as well been living there at the time).
After a crazy night drinking, it happened.
Our relationship was then based on sex and that’s it.
It didn’t take long before we started to really get to know one another, followed by falling in love.
Okay, so that’s farrrrrrr from your story book romance but it’s the truth. And, I love him more than life. He’s my soul mate.
Shortly after that he deployed to Iraq (when the whole mess first started) and I wrote to him EVERY single day for a year.
He came back and we were married 6 months later.
Well I dated a cousin of my husband’s for awhile and he and I ended up becoming good friends even after I wasn’t with his cousin anymore we remained friends. Later I became pregnant by the guy I was living with and the guy left me pregnant and alone and my now husband stepped up and was there for me through all of it. We got closer and it turned into more than a friendship somewhere along the way and we ended up together as a couple. He was there when my twins (yes ended up being twins) were born and acted like a father to them. We continued to date and we got married when the twins were 18 months old. He’s the only dad they’ve ever known (even though they know about their bio father). Their bio father signed over his rights when they were 7 and my husband adopted them. We also have two younger children. We’ve been married 12 1/2 years now. No one thought we would last because it’s difficult going into a marriage with two children as it is but we made it through and are still going strong. That’s why our song is “still the one” by Shania Twain. Later down the road my husband admited that through out our entire friendship he was in love with me. *blush* it took me longer to realize how I felt about him and how right he was for me.
We met at the Junior Math Olympics (ok, sounds really geeky I know), but did nothing for about a year.
We were in different schools, but often met in competitions/games/parties.
We kinda started going out a lot (with half dozen other people), for about a year.
We had a huge fall out and hated each other, for about five years.
(We also dated other people in this period)
Five years later, having no one to ask, we decided to go see a concert together, it was The Corrs (I guess when you’re desperate, you start asking your enemies out).
We kinda dated again, for about four years.
We got married, for about three years.
We had our son… and that was last year.
That’s pretty much all I can think of.
I met my husband through my sister. He had recently moved here from Alabama to finish his university studies, and became friends with my sister and her then boyfriend. The first thing I remember about him were his amazing blue eyes. I felt like the breath had been knocked out of me, he was so gorgeous, intelligent, and charming. We became friendly, but didn’t start dating until a few years later. Still, I will admit that I fell in love with him soon after meeting him. I don’t know why I didn’t just ask him out. Anyway, we quickly became extremely close, married and had a little boy who has his daddy’s breathtaking blue eyes. And he’s still the most gorgeous, wonderful man I’ve ever met – even when he stashes dirty laundry in strategic locations around the bathroom. =)
*ETA* Oh, I forgot to add the best part. My husband has curly hair. When I met him, in addition to attending MIT, he was a drummer in a band. His hair was long, which also means very wild. It looked kind of like Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons. I normally hate long hair on guys, but he had such a beautiful face and personality that I didn’t even notice. These days, however, he keeps his hair short and trim.
I knew my husband since I was about 12. We go to church together. He gave me his phone number at 15 and he was 21. Probably needless to say I was not allowed and I really did not want to call him (I was still a little wild and he was a Christian). At 17 I had changed a lot and he asked me for my phone number at a church dinner. I started to give it to him when he went to write it down he did not have a pencil. He had to ask someone for one
. I told him he would probably have to talk to my mother first. he was 23 at the time. He called a few days later, asked her if he could see me, and came over the next weekend I think. Eight months later, he proposed. Six months later we were married a month after my high school graduation. We had Emma a little earlier than expected four years later in my senior year of college. We decided what the heck we will go ahead and have another.
My parents met when she was 14 and my dad was 15, they were neighbors. My moms sister had stolen my dad’s hat and he ran to her house to get it back, then my mom answered the door and it was love at first sight for my father. they hung out a lot snuck into each others rooms a few times, wrote letters, etc. until my moms mother found out, she sent my mom to live in washington for 4 years (her high school years). apparently my mom didnt even tell my dad she had to leave cause it was too hard for her. The last thing she said she remembered seeing was my dad holding his baseball cap and a ball watching her drive away totally clueless. He found out she left from my moms sister. Over those years they sent letters to each other that they still have today. 4 years later she came back. She waited in the backyard for my dad since their backyards were connected and when he went outside he wasn’t expecting to see her, he fell down the stairs in shock/happiness and they’ve been inseparable since, almost 30 years later. 4 children now, I’m the oldest. She broke the uncomfortable barrier in her family of marrying outside of their race. She’s Chinese and my father is Greek.
He was my brothers best friend. (4 years younger than me) And at that time I was in a REALLY bad marriage. I was always sad and crying and my ex husband always took off for sometimes weeks at a time (we had two kids together) And my Andrew was always there, tryying to cheer me up, telling me I was beautiful and desrved so much better. As a matter of fact he went with me every year on halloween to drive the car while I got out with my kids. I never though of him in that way since he was so much younger than me (I was 21 he was 17) thats a big difference at that age! Well after my divorce we just really connected. Now five years later we are married and have a daughter together. My other two kids call him dad and we are in the process of trying to get him to legally adopt them.
Aw, now you have me missing my hubby, I’m going to call him!
I was still in college and working as a bookkeeper for a restaurant. One of my friends got a job at a new restaurant that was opening as a manager and asked me to interview as a bookkeeper there. It was only 4 blocks from my apartment and paid more, so I agreed. When I went in for my interview I met their kitchen manager, who was a certified chef. I thought he was a goofball. He was wearing flame retardant pants with hot peppers all over them. I got the job and became friends with this kitchen manager. He had just gotten a divorce. We were friends for a year and one night after work, he told me that he was in love with me. I laughed at him and punched his shoulder. I was dating someone else at the time. My boyfriend broke up with me and Tom talked me through it. I finally agreed to go out on a date with him 3 months after the breakup. 4 years later we got married, almost 4 years after that we had our son.
LOL. I was actually on a blind date with someone else the night I met Jake and Breanna’s father. The date was about 10 minutes long & wasn’t going very well, so as I was getting ready to leave the place I went back to use the restroom and ran into an old friend of mine from grade school who was shooting on a pool league. He invited me to sit & catch up on old times & introduced me to one of the guys on his league and well, we hit it off really well. Two years later we were married.
How I met James’ father.
The summer that I was 14 I was playing basketball outside my house, when this kid drove by on a dirtbike. He looked like he was checking me out, so I tried showing off and making myself look good. He drove by my house a few times, but never stopped. A few months later, I was walking around with some friends, and we saw a group of boys. I started talking to one, and we hit it off. Eventually, when he came to my house for the first time, we realized that it was him on the dirtbike checking me out, it seemed like fate.
Then the scumbag left me 3 years later, a month after I gave birth to our son.
The father of John and Sean:
We had a few mutual friends, they threw a party, I got drunk and we did some things i would have never done had i not been drinking. A few days later he called me, and the rest was history.
Mine is a story that most people will think is wrong of me
I’ve know my man for more than 10 years – he lived a couple of houses down, though he went out with my younger sister when they were 16 – 17. He broke up with her for a few reasons, the biggest one was because she was just plain insane and also because he had feelings for me. Completely destroyed her, (but she took the whole thing to the extreme and 6 years later still cant get over it, but getting there).
6 months after that we hooked up (i got kicked out of home and had to move in with him and his mum and sisters) but werent officially together for a further 4 months.
So we’ve been together “officially” 5 years and 4 days, one house and 2 kids later. so not straight forward but god, It’s a story! – just not one i’ll bore the world with the details just yet!
We met late night at the Beach when we were both 19. I love being at the beach at all hours since it was the only place that seemed to calm me down when there is chaos in my life. I was walking up the stairs to the beach pier and he was coming down. There was immediate attraction on his part, as for me, I was just being me, I walked by and kind of gave him a mean look because I don’t like to be starred at that way. He followed, started a conversation and since I was a nice gal we exchanged numbers. Found out he actually lived 8 hours away and was just there to visit with his friends. We communicated through the phone for a few months, and we started to develop feelings for each other. He won my heart by opening up to me and taught me about life. I was a lonely gal, just into working and school that I didn’t knew what my existence was about until I met him. So after a year I left my hometown to be with him, started a family, got married, we’ve accomplished all that we have set out for, we now have 2 children, 1 of each and things are just as they should be.
Better late than never.
Meppa met Mr Meppa at school when they were very young.
Meppa bumped into Mr Meppa as she was getting out of a car at school and nearly fell over him. All he could mumble was a Hello, and all I could think was “wow he’s hot, I wanna have children with him, oh no scratch that I AM going to have kids with him”.
Later that day I was introduced to a friends boyfriend…..OH NO it was the proposed Mr Meppa, whats a girl to do???
OOps we cheated, and later on my friend decided that Mr Meppa wasn’t for her anyway and she got together with his best friend (bad girl) and I got together with Mr Meppa on the same day………jump in her grave… I think so. We have been together ever since and of course had kids together. By the way we aren’t married, I just don’t want to give Mr Meppa’s name away…….girls gotta have some secrets.
Ps, my friend ever found out we cheated, I am sooooo bad. And he would never cheat on me, I have his children!!!
And we have plans on growing old together, can’t say grey as he nearly already is, lol
I was 17 and at a party with a friend. The party started to get a little out of hand so we left. I used my phone to call my dad to pick us up. While we were waiting we realized that we were in a fairly unfamiliar neighbourhood so I said that we should just keep walking (I told my dad what street we would be on). We actually came to a firehouse and the door was open. We went in and asked if we could stay there and wait for my dad instead of waiting on the street in the dark, they were very welcoming. They actually called my dad and told them we were safe and he could take his time.
While waiting we started to talk to a couple of the younger guys. When my dad arrived he realized that he knew some of them (my dad is a police officer) so he chatted for a while. We left.
A few days later the guy I had talked to asked his coworker for my dad’s phone number. He actually called and asked my dad if he could ask me out. He told dad that he realized he was older (4 years) and wanted to be sure dad was okay with that. Dad said that it was up to me. We went out, continued dating, and 7 years later got married.
We went to High school together, he was a good friend from the age of 15 and a shoulder to cry on when I needed one. One day he asked me out (24th November 1985) and I turned him down as I was scared it would ruin our friendship, he said that it was “natural progression” and we’d always be friends anyway.
I stood steadfast on my decision until 7th December, and at a friends 18th birthday I asked him if the offer still stood and accepted.
We were engaged on 7th May 1987, married 7th July 1990.
Our daughter was born 15th November 1992 and our son followed on 4th June 1996.
Sadly our marriage ended a few years ago – but he was right, we are still friends and probably always will be.
I met my husband at a costume party 2 days before halloween. He asked me to dance, and I knew there was something “amazing” about him. After 2 minutes, I had never liked someone like that before! We were inseparable, and married 2 years later on the same day! He is even sexier today than the day I met him, and we have been blessed with 2 little boys that I hope turn out to be like their daddy…
Met my husband when I was about 14 as well. We went to the same church and then later to the same high school. We were in church choir together, and several classes in high school. I honestly don’t think we ever had a personal conversation back then. I mean I am sure we spoke about homework or something that was directly school or church related. He was much more popular then I was both in church and in school. I was somewhat of an outcast. My sister and his older brother were friends though. Not close friends, but the hung out in the same circles.
Then two years into college I saw him at church sitting alone. We had both switched colleges at that point and had moved back home. I saw him sitting all alone and I felt sorry for him. He looked lonely. I said “Hello” thinking that he would likely ignore me, but he didn’t. He asked me to sit down. We became immediately friends. We talked all the time. Then a couple weeks into the friendship, I asked him to dinner. It was a friendly dinner, but we realized that we were becoming more than friends. We started to date soon after and a few months later we were engaged. We got married 18 months later. And now we have been married 11 years and have one child and one on the way.
I think we were the most unlikely couple in the minds of many people. So many of our friends were totally shocked that we got together and then got married. One of my friends almost fainted at the news. I think people thought we were totally opposites. And we do have our differences, but we are much more alike than anyone could have imaged. But then again even we are shocked by it sometimes.
Our story isn’t the most spectacular, but I love it. We met at church (I was 16, he was 17) and he invited me to his senior prom. We lost touch for two years and then met again through a mutual friend’s graduation party that was at the same church that we met at. I was 18, he was 20 and we hit it off again. 10 months later he proposed and 9 months after that we were married. All together we have been together for 6 and a half years.
We met at church. He started coming to my church one summer when I was 21. We sat on the opposite side from each other and spent four months checking each other out because he was too chicken to talk to me. I finally introduced myself in the fall and it still took until January for him to ask me out, and even then it was only because he was getting competition from someone else. We were engaged by November and married in March. This March will be our sixth anniversary.
* I don’t usually comment about thumbs down, but thumbs down for how I met my husband? You don’t like my story? Or, is it because I met him at church- good thing there aren’t judgmental people around here.
i first met Paul in 4th grade, he was a big dork, but we were friends.
then he moved away and later moved back when i was in high school.
i was friends with him for a year before we started dating in 11th grade, and i got pregnant in 12th grade and now we have a 2 year old son.
He worked for my Father…..he had a girlfriend when we first started hanging around together to (i did nothing until he had split up with her and now 10 years later feel terrible)…ummahhhhhhh…….should have realised hey…..if they cheat with you they cheat on you isnt that what dr phil says??……it was a little uncomfortable for my Dad and my Benny for awhile my dad said he couldnt help but look at Ben and think your #$@^ing my daughter (i am daddys little girl)….but all these years later i thank my dad for bringing ben into my life i think you can judge your relationship on whether you would do it all over again and yes the very high ups and very very low downs i WOULD do it all over again….(maybe?)…..hes broken my heart more than anyone i know but he also makes me fell safe, secure and loved more so than anyone else ever has and thats what matters to me!!!!
Well its kind of a stupid how we met. One night my friend called me and told me she had someone she wanted me to meet so I was 16 at the time and he already had a girlfriend but that didn’t stop me. So I went over to where she was cause she was going with his twin brother at the time. It was only suppose to be a one night thing between us. I had came home the next day and he called me and we talked he called me everyday and we would talk for hours on the phone. So finally we got togather got married when I was 18 and now we have a son who will be 4 in Febuary and a daughter who just turned 1 in August.
I met him when we were just 11 years old. His cousin had just moved in across the street from me, they’ve always been close, more like brothers so he was over there a lot. Both my brother and I became friends with him quickly. (Let me add that most of my friends have been boys my entire life, especially when I was a kid) We remained friends and decided to start “dating” at age 17. We got engaged and moved in together at 18, got married at 21. Bought our first house at age 25. Had our first baby at 27 and are expecting our second baby at age 31.
We have been together since 2nd grade! Well kinda. Haha
We have known each other since 2nd grade and even used to live next door to each other at one point in our lives.
In 2nd grade we both “liked” each other and all of the kids used to tease me about it. We even were dance partners for this stupid square dance day we did at school.
Then he moved in 4th grade to the next town over, I still had a crush on him and even asked him out when I was 12 but he was mean to me and said NO!
then at 15 and 16 we started to date (he went to another school than I did at this point) and we have been together ever since!
We got married at 21 and 22 and had our first son at 22/23.
We are each others first and onlys!
I actually met him when I was 18. We worked together and just started hanging out… Then we started dating…. Then we broke up… Then we got back together… Then we broke up. We always stayed good friends… Finally, when we grew out of the partying stage (or so I thought we BOTH did… turns out it was just me, lol), we really got back together, moved in together, all of that. Then I got pregnant.
I was friends with his cousin. She invited us both out to play pool then she ditched us.
I hated him. He was dressed in jeans-made-into-shorts and a fringy leather vest. He looked like an extra from a Def Leppard video. He had kids! I didn’t want kids (she says four kids later). I didn’t know what to talk about that night and couldn’t think about anything other than how much I wanted to kill her (his cousin).
I survived that, then she invited us both out to a cookout. He was dressed worse if you can believe it. He had a Jimmy Buffet T-shirt that was so old there were holes in the armpits. She ran into a store and I was stuck with him in the car on the way home. He said the most humble, honest thing, something that was clearly hard for him to be honest about. And I just knew. Nothing else mattered. He was one in a million.
We spent every day together after that, I fell in love with his kids, had two miracles of my own, and I spent the next 12 years redressing him. I do have one wretched fishing hat to get rid of.
He’s a perfect soulmate. Fate is good.
My front story is we met at Festival in the Park. The truth is he was hanging around my ex-boyfriends friends at the bar and I needed to get my chickeebowwow on. I know I’m a whooore! but it has been 24yrs(that we’ve put up with each other).
Nothing terribly exciting.
We grew up in the same rural area. I knew he liked me, he knew I liked him, yet we were always in other relationships.
I broke up with my boyfriend of 4 years, saw him out one night and we hooked up.
I meet Joesph when I was in high school. we where friends before we started dating I always had a crush on him but we were both always dating other people, we started dating after high school and the rest is history.
Well i met Matt at Bingo ..lol
Strange thing is My Mum and Dad also met at bingo as did my Brother David and his Partner …14 years now got engaged after 2 weeks they said it wouldn’t last HA HA its lasted alright !
He scraped me off a sidewalk. Literally.
I’m just happy to see a non-election question.
