How'd you meet your SO?

[Julee]

I met Rick on a reptile forum (Pangea) about four years ago. It was the first week of summer and I had nothing to do, really, so I hopped into the chat room, where he was. We got to talking and well... that was that. I was 13, he was 15. He lived in Washington State, and I was/am in Connecticut. We danced around the whole relationship thing for a few years because of distance, and decided finally to give it a shot in October of '11. He finally came to visit last August, was here for a month, and neither of us could handle being apart when he left. Six weeks later, he was back, and he's currently snoring upstairs. I couldn't be happier.


How'd you meet your guy or gal?

That's so cool! I love that you met your love on a forum! I've made many friends on forums.

I met my boyfriend of 5 years (hopefully some day will be a husband) at my former job at a health food store. I had worked there about a month when he walked in. I was immediately taken aback. When he was introduced to me and reached out to shake my hand, I missed his hand and sort of smacked him in the arm. From there we got into a discussion about awkward handshakes, and made our secret handshake (which we still do today). He later told me that he had a "love at first sight" sort of reaction, too. What neither of us realized at the time, though, was that we were 8 years apart. When we found out, it almost kept us from becoming a couple. Luckily, we decided that it didn't really matter if we cared about each other. The rest, is history.

And because I feel like cute pictures should be manditory:



His hair looks ridiculous when it's that short, but he's cute. hahaha

Jason and I met on a GSD forum

Ooh! Are we doing pictures!? Here's the OH and I at his sister's wedding this past summer, pretty much my favorite picture of us, ever.

On an online game. I was probably 13 he was probably 15. Friends for years, lost touch. I talked to him again at around 18. We met for the first time in the summer of 2011 in Chicago. (He lived in Wisconsin, I lived in Arkansas.) He moved down here to be with me and we've been living together for a year now.

That's the short story, at least.

I'm single, but the pictures are cute!!

I met my ex-fiance and the only other guy I dated both through mutual friends. Ex-fiance showed up to a High School friend's birthday gathering, other guy (my baby's father) tagged along with a friend (who I met in the hospital) to the beach to play frisbee. Kind of boring.

Friends of friends, or I dated a few guys who once worked retail with me (after I or they quit.) A couple of guys I have met online, but long distance is not my thing, so I'm not really interested in that anymore (outside of meeting somebody local online, that is.)

We met in college. Hubby was one of my minions when I was a lead for a volunteer community outreach engineering program .

He answered directly to the other lead though, wasn't on my team, so honestly I had no idea who he was other than a face and a name I hadn't connected. But we made mutual friends through the project and somehow ended up having lunch together the following term and really hit it off.

We married about a year and a half later.

Wow.. a lot of you have met online! I met my boyfriend the typical way, mutual friends. We've been together 7yrs, live together& own a dog. Still can't convince the bugger I'm worth marrying

And a photo-



Because, really. Our faces aren't that interesting without Penny& I don't have any lovely photos of the three of us!
