I met my husband when I was a junior in high school. It was Math class, my worst subject, his best and he sat behind me. He helped me pass the class and I returned the favor by helping him with an English paper! Started dating and we’ve been together ever since ! We’ll celebrate 30 years married in October! Like the song says, “We’re Still Having Fun, and You’re Still the One!”:love:
 
I answered blind date.

My best friend in high school was meeting her boyfriend. Her boyfriend was getting a ride from a guy who asked my best friend to bring a friend. Funny thing is she called three or four other girls before me (they weren’t home or just couldn’t go) because at the time I wasn’t interested in meeting another guy.

I was 15 (a month from my 16th birthday) and he was 20. :whistle: We got married when I turned 18 and have been together ever since…19 years this past June. :love: :bounce:
 
We met at a Tae Kwon Do school. Guess you could say we started off fighting, and its been getting better ever since!
 
I LOVE reading these stories! I’m not married, but I met my boyfriend in high school band, he was my best friend’s brother…and we’ve been going strong ever since! 😃

Just wondering if anyone has been successful with a long-distance love… my boyfriend and I have been dating 4 years, with the past two being over 1000 miles apart! It’s been hard but definitely worth it.

I’ll get back to you in a few months. My girlfriend and I will be 3000 miles apart (I’ll be in Boston, she’ll be in Los Angeles). I’m sure we’ll make it work though.

I met my wife in a fashion the could easily be a lifetime channel original movie. She lived next door to me growing up. So I’ve known her for 39 years. We were the best of friends growing-up where you found one the other wasn’t far behind. In highschool we excelled at the same things (math & science). I played football and baseball she played soccer and softball. We had a lot in common, but grew a little apart as our groups of friends changed We didn’t start “dating” until the night of the junior prom. She refused to go because she had broken her leg. I might add that this was my fault, I tripped her while kicking the soccer ball around and yes, I did it on purpose (not intending to hurt her though). I felt so guilty I told my girlfriend at the time I wasn’t going to the jr prom that i was staying home. Well that was the end of that romance, but it didn’t matter. From that night on we were again inseperatable. We chose colleges that were close to each other I went to Notre Dame she went to Purdue, after college we got married a few weeks before I joined the military. After moving from base to base for seven years we settled down both as teachers and now after 17 yease of marriege we have four wonderful children.
 
This will date me. We met while cruising Frisch’s Big Boy on Dec. 6, 1976. I was in my mom’s booger green Maverick and he was soooo dreamy in a 1969 Camaro SS, 396, 4-speed. He looked just like Fonzy. I believe he was wearing a brown flower print 100% polyester shirt. Far Out!!!

I couldn’t think of anything better to say than, “You want to race?” He looked at the Maverick and laughed and then he said, “I’d rather catch you.” Then he took off down the main drag to get back to Frisch’s and when he laid rubber in 3rd too, well I almost melted.

Then to top it all off, I got so excited talking to my friends about how cool he was while stopped at the next light, I let the car creep forward and bump into a police car. He gave me a stern warning about paying attention while driving and told me to go straight home.

I’m glad I snuck through the drive thru one more time to talk to him. We’ve been together now almost 25 years. I swear I have never disobeyed the law since.
 
My husband and I met through a mutual friend. We still have not gone 1 day without seeing each other in 2 1/2 years.

Work - a fine dining restaurant. She was a hostess, I was a waiter. She was a cutie, and somewhat quiet…not one of the “party girls”, so I was interested. She wasn’t.

Now somehow, I came to hear some psycobabble on some talk show talking about fostering the “nurture instincts” in a woman in order to get her interested in you. So I decided to lay a specific and detailed trap for my unsuspecting victim, eh, wife.

Now if a waiter had a button off of the tux or shirt, the hostess had a sowing kit and would stitch it back on. And everytime we were working the same shift, I’d secretly pop a button off of my shirt and have her sow it back on … did this every time we worked together for about a month straight. She had no choice but to fall madly in love with me.

That’s my story - and in all fairness to my wife, I must say that to this day she doesn’t believe it, and denies sowing buttons on my shirts more than once or twice. But I say it worked well…heheheheheheeh.

That story is too cute 🙂

My husband and I met in college, at Benedictine. I played on the women’s basketball team; he was the new student assistant coach my sophomore year. Though I can vividly remember the day I first met him, it was not love at first sight. But he won me over with his servant’s heart that he showed time and time again over the course of my basketball season, when he selflessly helped out with anything and everything in a grueling volunteer position. We became good friends, and shortly after the season was over, we started dating. The rest, as they say, is history!
 
Hmmm, this one was difficult for me because we met at a Catholic group in college… 🙂
 
We were a blind date, my God Mother introduced us, we have been married 11 years!

Work at a state prison. I was a nurse in the clinic, and he was a guard. I get some pretty odd looks when I tell people I met my husband in prison! 😉

:rotfl:

I met my husband through my sister. She and he were friends in college. When I saw his photo, I knew he was the guy for me and he thought the same thing about me when he saw my picture.
 
Feanaro's Wife:
Ok, i’ll be the first to admit it…

in a bar/dance club.

It is not something I would recommend to my future daughters, lol…but it got me my dream man. He introduced me to Catholicism. God truly does work in mysterious ways:D

You’re not alone! We also met in a bar in Germany where I was student teaching and he was in the Army. He also introduced me to Catholicism.

We celebrate our 10 year anniversary next month! Please keep us in your prayers as we won’t be together to celebrate due to deployment 😦
 
We met through mutual friends. Sadly, they are now divorcing. But we will be celebrating 5 years in Feb.!
 
I like to think our story is fairly unique. He’s not my “spouse” yet, but he is my fiancee so I guess it counts for now.

We met through our Star Wars group. Yep, that’s right - a couple of geeks here. 🙂 We did a charity event near my home town and he told me later that he stared at me all day hoping I’d notice him. But of course it’s hard to pick one stormtrooper out of the rest. . . lol. But at the next event I did notice him and our whole group likes to call it their own Garrison Star Wars love story. 😃
