What Your "How We Met" Story Says About Your Relationship

After reading the comments, I feel pretty awful because I haven't met "the one" yet...

I met my lovely boyfriend on Facebook. Thank God we became members of constitutionally bound Greek letter organizations or else we would not have met. I almost deleted him from my Facebook friends list because he updated his status every five minutes, but just when I was about to click delete he posted a status that alerted the nurturing side of me and I reached out to him through a personal message. We messaged back and forth briefly, I gave him my number and told him to call if he ever needed to talk about anything. I was just getting over a long-term relationship and wasn't looking for anything serious or long-term. A couple months later he sends me a message letting me know that he would be in Texas for a couple months and would like to meet me. I never had one intention of meeting him but told him okay. We somehow got back in touch through regular communication on Facebook and finally he called me one day while I was at work. I missed the call but decided I wasn't going to call him back. But something weird happened and I returned his call and THANK GOD I did. I text him to check on his drive back to Missouri from Texas. I told him that if he saw any Denton signs to call me. He told me that if I gave him an address that he could be where I was! He popped up in the parking lot of my job and our first date was at Subway and it was the BEST date I've ever been on in my life. We talked for hours...that's what it seemed like. I met the man of my dreams in Fouts Field parking lot! Now, I'm tearing up just thinking about him. Sigh.

I was in my third year of medical school doing a rotation in the E.D. (that's the E.R.). My husband a army combat medic was training with the local paramedics going out on ambulance runs. We literally bumped into one another on a busy night. He spotted my later & apologized for trying to "run me over" earlier. I was looking up at this tall, built, attractive latino man thinking to myself "YUMMY!" He thought he was flirting with a nurse & I assumed he was a civilian paramedic. After he left I did a little research (ie.: asking about him) & found out the truth. I was already interested but the whole army thing ramped up my interest level. He told me later that the paramedics he was working with gave him props for having the guts to approach the "cute" medical student. That's when he realized I wasn't a nurse or a tech. Next shift we saw one another again. We got to tease each other about the misunderstanding going on. He asked me to come hang out with everyone after my shift at a local bar. I grabbed a friend after work, did my hair/make-up, pulled on some tight jeans & broke the speed limit getting to the bar. When our eyes met at the bar I new I was going to sleep with him. No, not that night, but soon enough.

We've been going strong for five years now & married for one. He had to put up with me attending medical school & then my residency which meant moving across the country. I've had to deal with two long term deployments & his enrollment in green beret training. We spend almost as much time apart as we do together. But it does give us that "us against the world" mentality. I can't believe I'm actually thinking about having babies soon. That was not my plan, but I've found a good man can change a girls plans real quick!

I needed "arm candy" for a work related event. I asked my roomie at the time if she knew of any cute single men that I had never met before. She said she had someone in mind. I made sure she prefaced the invite with "no strings attached, open bar, food, music and dancing". He agreed to be arm candy (and why wouldn't he?). The night before the party all of my friends were out for dinner. I decided to meet up with them later in the evening. I was watching a movie, laying on my couch in shorts and a tank top, hair a mess, when I my intercom buzzes. A voice I didn't recognize asks for me...then sensing my confusion, asks for my roomie. I buzz him up and open the door. There stands this super cute guy all dressed up! I take one look and ask "Are you my arm candy? You know the party is tomorrow night, right?"

Turns out my roomie gave him the wrong date, but I am glad she did because he was out of town on business the next day and would not have accepted the invite. Call it fate, or whatever you will, but if she gave him the correct date or I had gone to dinner with my friends that night, we would have never met.

We ended up going out for a drink (after I changed clothes) that night and have been together for over 2 years now. To this day he still teases me over the "no strings attached."

What does a one night stand say about me??? LOL

We met at church. What better place to meet the love of your life than church?!

My husband and I met on Yahoo personals. I was teaching school at the time and didn't really have the opportunity to meet men through work, so I decided to give Yahoo a try. The first week I put my very short ad in he contacted me and we started chatting online and found that we lived only a few miles away from one another. We met for dinner, and it was literally love at first sight! Eleven years later we're still together!

I met the love of my life on Craigslist (SO risky, I know..I was curious!). After looking at a lot of strange ad's, one caught my eye. He seemed genuine, so I responded and he wrote back right away. We exchanged screen names and began talking on AIM for about a week before exchanging phone numbers. Our first conversation lasted for 15 hours! It was so easy to talk to him, almost like I've known him my whole life.

We met face-to-face at a local bar. He was gorgeous, better then his pictures, and his personality was everything I've ever wanted. He made me so nervous I think I only spoke five words to him! After hanging out a few more times, he made me his :) He turned my Claddagh ring around so it was facing my heart, looked at me and said "I always get what I want" and we laughed and kissed. We recently celebrated our one year anniversary and are planning to move in together and (hopefully) get engaged!

I have been in love with the same man for a long time now. Let me start from the beginning. We met at a party that my friend was throwing in the summer of 1988. I was 19 and he was 23. He asked me if I wanted to go out on a date, and I kept making all sort of excuses. I had a job at a hospital during that time, so I was busy, and then I finally agreed to meet him at my job after work. So we planned a date to go swimming at this lake about 20 miles or so from my parents house. And I could tell that we were perfect together, and he was so cute. We both lived 3 miles away from each other, but we would walk and meet half way in the middle...he always made me laugh, and brought me flowers that he would pick on the side of the country road...we used to talk on the phone for 4 hours everyday. I would go to work and come home from work and he would leave at least 7 messages on my answering machine. We both liked motown oldies, and we would make all these different mixed tapes and they were all these songs that we picked out and put together off of all these old albums and put on tapes...it's really crazy but somehow the simplist things are the ones we remember the most. We used to drive around in his old car all the time, just drive out in the country in the middle of nowhere...and I remember the first time we kissed. I was so shy. And it was amazing. I can still remember how my heart was racing and my stomach had butterflies...he turned and held my hand and kissed me and said "I love you" and I can't live without you...

we met at a local sports bar and he tried all night to get me to dance with him but i kept telling him i didnt know how to dance. He asked for my nunber at the end of the night and called me everyday for 2 weeks and asked me to hang out but told him i had other plans. 2 years later i was at the bar again and he was there, he hung out with my same friends and didnt say anything to me. So i said hi to him first and he was rude to me and very untalkative. I asked him if he would like for me to leave him alone and he said no he wanted me to stay and said he has a huge crush on me and he hasnt stopped thinking about me since the first time we met, he described that night ,just how i remebered it,we met with every little detail down to what i was wearing and how my hair was done. He gave me a ride home that night and told me he wanted to spend more time with me and asked me to go watch a movie.

I met my heartmate here on Yahoo. For some reason I was looking thru the personal ads and after getting rid of the idiots that were there I spotted his ad for friendship. I had to place an ad just to respond to his and by golly he answered my email. Since I was working out of town during the week we only emailed on the weekends until I got an assignment in town. We started to IM on yahoo and then started talking on the phone. We met several weeks later and have been together since then and it has been 10 very short years. Gosh darn it he is the one who makes my heart thump when I just think about his smile and my palms start to sweat when I picture his beautiful eyes :)

My boyfriend saw at my job and thought that I was someone else. I told him no and gave him my name. He came back the next day to apologize. I told him it was ok and no big deal. Came back the third day. I was like, "You're either going to buy something, give me your number or ask for mine." He gave me his number and 11 months later we were married. After 10 years of being together, I still love telling "our" story.

I was so happy to see that there is a website, to tell my story on how I met my Steve Loredo, real quick.... I have been searching for my brother Luie for over 2 yrs... Well on September 17, 2010 I called the police station to get his cdc number because my brother has been in prison for quite sometime. So with that phone call I was told my brother had been decease for 2 yrs. now. Well 2 days before I found out I tagged Steve on GoodDateLa and left him my phone number so he called me the day I was freaking out about my brother death notice.... That whole day and night I cried myself to sleep. My life had been so hard and I was at a point in my life when I was giving up. Well I decided not be unhappy the next day. I called Steve to accept a date and we haven't been apart ever since. So with that I want to say is that I lost a good huge part of my life and then I gained a wonderful man into my life. My intentions were not to fall in love but to just get out with someone different and just have a drink, get drunk and cry some more over my brother. But no I went home with him and move in 2 weeks later and we just have everything in common, he make me laugh, we cook together, like the same foods, we joke around, we don't need space, we love to hang out at a nice bar and share more jokes and making love is magical. I feel that God and my brother were up to this so I Adore Steve with all my heart and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with him and I wish that this great feeling and energy i can share with any women out there that is searching for the right man.... So I send that energy and friction to the world.

Sincerely
Maria Curiel

I met my boyfriend through my step-brother! He was his best friend. My brother and i had never been that close so i had never met him and he knew nothing about me. My brother and i were going to a car show in our area and he invited him to come along. I was instantly crushing on him and the whole night i kept catching him looking at me. We have been together ever since and couldnt be happier!

i met my boyfriend while stuck in traffic in california while he was here for work. it took an hour and a half of him begging for my number before he decided to throw a paper ball with his name and number on it into my car. 3 days later i decided to call him and found out he was out here for wotk and would be going home to michigan in a month. we dated for the month and then after he left we started flying back and forth to be with each other for the next 5 months, now hes living here with me while i finish school. in 2 months we will be driving back to michigan to our home we just bought :)

I met my husband at work 2 and a half years ago. We started out as friends just hanging out every night after work in February and then became bf/gf in June of 2008. We recently tied the knot 2 weeks ago and I couldn't be happier.

I didn't know he was the one until he broke up with me over text message and I was devastated. He had valid reasons because I was still scorn from a previous relationship and I did think he was like my ex but he wasn't and he proved that million of times. I just couldn't let go of that hurt, I had a wall up. So I had my cousin stalk him on myspace since they were friends and I didn't have a myspace account. We were broken up about a month and he finally took me back after she begged him, plus I was getting on her nerves. And ever since then, I have been on my best behavior trying to please him. He treats me like gold and I couldn't imagine life with anyone else.

And to make matters even more interesting, I was a notary and I actually notarized his divorce from his ex-wife earlier that year (2008).

I had been seeing this guy for a couple of months and was honestly sick of being around him, or having to be his "mommy". For the life of me, I could not understand why I felt compelled to stick around. One night, this guy was showing off on his motorcycle and crashed (He was fine, but his bike was not so fortunate) so a few days later we went to pick it up... and out steps the most gorgeous man I have ever laid eyes on. Fate had kept me around so I could meet the man of my dreams. I talked him into "meeting my friend", who actually had a boyfriend but came along so I could spend some time with him without looking like an idiot, which was not successful. A few days later I got a call from gorgeous, who was pretending to look for his friend as he later on admitted, and we decided to go out that night. He moved in to kiss me halfway through and I jumped him like a rabbit. We have been inseparable ever since. He made a joke once saying that we weren't getting married unless I proposed... so on our 1 year anniversary, I did. On one knee, in front of all his friends (including the one who introduced us, who was more excited about my proposal than anyone) and he said yes! We got married 5 months later, and he has always told people that he stole me from our friend (because I was too good for him anyway). =)

My husband and I had met through his brother's facebook page(his brother was my boss). I had just gotten out of a really bad marriage and was not going to let that happen again. I decided it had been time to be just by myself. My husband had added me, then emailed me. We started talking back and forth without meeting each other even though we were 5 minutes away from each other! Then we started talking on the phone until one day he told me that he just had to meet me, that he couldn't stand it anymore! I was very sick at that time with a cold but told him that we could meet if he was willing to get sick! Apparently, I was worth it because he was at my place within 5 minutes! Since then we have been together and couldn't be happier! He proposed after a year and a half and we recently just married in March! He kisses me every morning before work and tells me he loves me throughout the day. My parents adore him and his parents love me! So yes, I did meet my prince!!!

I had recently moved out of my parents house and was living with a roommate in Houston. I'd been seeing a guy for 2 years (the only guy I'd ever been with as an adult) and I thought I loved him, but I felt like something was missing still. I'd been talking to a friend of mine who was telling me about how he met a girl through myspace but ultimately she wasn't a real person and he had no way to track her down. One boring day at work I decided I would make a new myspace and not tell any of my friends. It started out as a place to rant about whatever I wanted without worrying about anyone I knew seeing it. I slowly started adding whoever would request me and loading creative pictures that I liked, but none of me. One of the pictures I loaded was getting a lot of attention so after awhile I only had pictures of that girl up, had picked a name for her, and given her my life story. I talked with random people, girls and guys, about nothing really. All just talking to talk. It was fun. Now we all know myspace suggests friends on every page you go to, well this day wasn't any different. I got a whole row full of suggestions that I usually ignored, but one stood out because the picture angle was weird and the guy had pretty interesting physical features. I browsed and listened to the song he had playing and then went on my way. A few minutes later I found myself wanting to hear the song he had posted, and I didn't remember what it was called, or the guys name, so I just kept pressing 'back' until it opened again. This time when I visited I started going through his pictures. He was really tall and pretty cute so I decided on sending him a quick "hello" message. We talked back and forth a few times and I found that the long messages he would send were very intriguing. I wasn't looking to do anything any more weird than I already had, seeing as I had a boyfriend, but the guy messaged me every day. Long messages about his day and what he thought about during it. I felt bad about not responding, so I always did. That led to more messages which led to talking over IM, which led to swapping phone numbers but only to text! At this point in my real life I was moving in with my boyfriend near Austin where he was going to school. I was miserable within a few weeks. He was gone all day, came home, got drunk, went to bed. It was his daily schedule almost. In the meantime I knew no one, my car had a flat tire, I was broke, had no job. I applied to places within walking distance, but without any luck. I ended up spending all day every day on the internet talking to the guy I had met. It became the first thing I did when I woke up and the last thing I did before I went to bed (which was around 6am). We were flirting A LOT and he still didn't know my real name, what I looked like, or that I was living with a guy!! In the mean time my real life was going horribly. I didn't want to do anything or talk to anyone except this guy online. My boyfriend would get drunk and yell at me. Tell me how completely useless I was and how much I was ruining his life every night and the next morning say he didn't mean it, but I should do something with my life. I ended up driving back to Houston for my sisters wedding, and not going back for months. I had started talking to the internet guy over the phone at this point. We literally talked every second we were awake for 4 months. Eventually I knew I had to go back to my 'boyfriend' to break things off. I drove 3 hours, slept, woke up, did the deed, filled my car with as much of my stuff as humanly possible, and drove back to Houston. It was a major turning point in my life and I knew I had to tell the guy I'd been talking to about everything that night. I said it all pretty bluntly and sent him pictures of the real me, thinking he would call me crazy and never speak to me again. The next day he bought a plane ticket to come see me and said he'd kiss me the moment he saw me. (He was living in Florida at the time.) I was so unbelievably nervous when I went to get him from the airport. When I saw him standing there my heart literally stopped beating. I felt like the world had stopped turning for a second. He was perfect. We said our hello's, he did kiss me by the way, and that night I took him to a new years party with all my friends. haha. He did really well. They all liked him. I liked him. He had paid for a hotel while he was in town and I ended up staying there with him. We've been together almost 2 years, he moved to Texas for me (for now anway), and he's the best thing to ever happen to me.
