How did you meet your significant other?

[txteach]

My wife was working a a KFC when I was in the Air Force and I went in there a lot. Not just to get chicken, mainly to talk to her. Finally after ordering a 10 piece bucket I asked her out. On our first date (to Batman, the first one) she asked me what took me so long to ask her out. From our first date I knew I'd marry her. I was smitten. nineteen years later and I love my wife more and more.

We met at our Church Singles group. Knew each other as casual friends for a few years. Never knew she was interested until she asked me out.

11 weeks later I proposed.

2 kids have arrived and we just had our 9th anniversary.

She tollerates my toy and car hobbies and even helps out the cause on occasion!

In a American Lit class at USF. I was wearing an REM shirt that got her attention.

21 years ago, I was a member of a youth club in NYC called The Door: A Center of Alternatives. I was in the club's music program.

I spotted a beautiful girl taking the tour for possible new members and introduced myself. I started riding the subway home with her to her home stop (about an hour out of my way).

We started dating within the week.

12 years later we got engaged.

On Valentines Day, 2000, we were married at the top of the World Trade Center.

She tolerates my toy obsession, and I love her more than life itsef

We met in Economics Class at City University of New York.
She was wearing a black ACDC t-shirt.
I asked her out half way through the semester.
Some 15 years later, we're married with a precious 6 year-old girl.

She came into the record store I worked at, and ordered some cd's that our store didn't carry (Supersuckers, Oblivians, reatards, Deadly Snakes, etc). Well, this is the kind of music that's right up my alley, so I added a note to her customer account stating that "ONLY I" can call this customer when thier order arrived. Sure enough several agonizing weeks later I got to call her up and do a little bit of shmoozing on the phone, the rest they say is history.

I placed a one-time free ad in a local singles paper in 1996. She was the only one that answered my ad, so I had to marry her . Next month is our ten year anniversary.

I met my husband through an online personals ad. You could post the ad for free, but you had to be a paying member to respond to ads or messages other members sent. I hid my email address in the text and used my favorite picture - I looked kind of gothy and was holding a "unicorn skull." He figured, "Well, there's someone quirky enough to put up with my comic, toy, and videogame habit." After a few emails, we exchanged numbers and met in person soon after. We dated for 5 or 6 years, and will celebrate our first wedding anniversary tomorrow.

She was the babysitter for my older children...

Actually I'd known her a long time as I used to party with her cousin and would see her in passing every now and then...

I was playing an episode of Battle of the Planets in my dorm room, this little french girl came in to watch. We became friends first as I had just gotten out of a horrible relationship and was on this whole single kick. Eventually I figured out I had this awesome person in my life who loved punk, old toys and crap movies, we've been together 16 years.

Now I'm facebook friends with that ex and kind of feel like I owe her one.

We worked together. We had a definite chemistry. Everybody at work thought we were a secret couple for a long time before we actually dated. She left our job so we could start dating and we were married about 2 years later.
