myswtghst How I met my boy :) Nov 24, 2008 1:01 PM About 5 months ago, after a few months of self-imposed staying at home too much, my friend D dragged me out to karaoke night at our local watering hole, in large part because she wanted me to meet her friend AD. Apparently, AD needed to meet a cute, nice, sane girl to date, and D though we would be a great match. Unfortunately, once we reached the bar, it became abundantly clear that AD was way more interested in our mutual friend J, and that I found him to be rather annoying. Even so, I let D drag me to AD's birthday party a week or two later. At the party, AD was again paying attention to no one but J...so I made friends with his roommates, including AM, a tall, lanky guy who seemed content to just chill on the patio. (Funny enough, I had met AM before 1-2 times at the bar, but only briefly, and at the time, he had long hair and wore a bandana so you could barely see his eyes - at this point, he'd shaved his head!) I tried to mingle throughout the night, and be friendly with everyone, but I kept ending up out on the patio with AM. In the end, we spent a good three hours talking about life, beliefs, and everything else you can think of. A few days later, I get a text from D, asking if she can give AM my phone number - I say sure. Sure enough, within 10 minutes, AM calls. We decide that we're both stuck at home and bored on a Friday night, so I should come over. I head to their apartment, and he takes me on a walk out to a park nearby, where we spend hours playing on the swings and slides, and telling our life stories - the good and the bad. This goes on until he finally works up the courage to ask to kiss me, and I say yes. The rest is pretty much history...but we're still together now, and I've never been happier in my life.
ColorMeCute1990 Just a glitch... May 14, 2008 1:26 AM It happened four or five years ago. My finance and I were both using AOL as our messenger system. The night it happened I was having a girls night in with one of my friends and I was just getting on to check my email when I noticed something very strange about my messenger. There was an extra name on the list. I clicked on it, curious to see who it was. I was thinking maybe one of my friends had changed their messenger name and had just re-added me to their friends list. It turned out it was no one I knew at all. It was a boy from Pearland, Texas. A place I had never heard of. My friend who had begun hovering over my shoulder told me I should just remove the name and not have a conversation with this boy I didn't know. Normally I would have listened to her, but that night I didn't. I felt drawn to the person I was talking to and once he said hello I couldn't stop. We talked for hours about absolutely nothing. When it was finally going into the wee hours of the morning we said goodnight to each other with promises to be back in touch soon. Soon for us was the next day. We talked on the computer for a long while, then we started in on phone calls, then the visits started happening. We've been together for five years now and I wouldn't trade him for the world. He understands me and I understand him. We are like two pieces of a puzzle that were spread across the living room floor and finally were put together by the one doing the puzzle. I'm not even 18 yet, but I know I truly love him with all of my heart.
scaredbabygirl First Chance Jan 9, 2008 3:04 PM My husband and I were introduced by my cousin; she was dating his best friend and they both thought we should meet. I went to her house to meet him and I did NOT like him at all! I mean not at all!!!!!!!! However, she begged and begged me to meet with him just one more time and I finally agreed. Second time was a charm we have been married now for two years!!!
SnL08 The love of my life! Oct 27, 2007 1:16 PM I met the love of my life at a club. I was already in a relationship but i just could not resist the sexy man that approached me and talked to me while looking into my eyes (not my chest). We actually had a whole convo while the music was playing. I gave him my number and a few months later i dumped my loser boyfriend and got w/a real man!!!
Muirnea How we met :) Jul 15, 2007 10:05 AM My boyfriend and I love to tell our "how we met" story. It all happened at college. He was a sophomore and I was a freshman. My friends had been going to a salsa dance club (not a downtown club, but a club someone started at the school to teach people how to salsa dance) and they would always come back and talk about how much fun it was etc. etc. So I decided to go try it out. Fast forward a couple weeks, and my "now bf" decides to come try out the salsa dancing club because he is a little depressed from a last relationship ending badly, and one of his friends tells him to come and try salsa dancing with her. So he comes. In the class there are usually not as many guys as girls, so what we would do is the guys would stand in a circle on the inside facing out, and the girls would stand in a circle on the outside facing in toward the guys, and the guys would rotate around so that everyone would have a chance to practice with a real partner. That way everyone got to know everyone else, and there would be breaks in between where they would rest or just change the music or something and in one of those breaks I was with my future bf and we just made small talk, got to know each other a little etc. We ended up practicing for class together in between classes once and so then after the next class (the one after we met) he asked me to come hang out in his room and watch a movie. So we did and we talked till 4 in the morning and it went from there. We have been together a little over 7 months now. :) The funny thing is though, that one day while we were still getting to know each other we were just talking and we realized that we had actually met about a month before we ever met at salsa!!! We realized that we both were at a mutual friends halloween party!! My future bf had come into the room with his friends and had just gone around the room shaking everyone's hands to meet people....well he had shaken my hand and we had said hello politely and never thought a thing about it. LOL!! I'm so glad we met again at salsa because we are very happy now and have so much fun, and it might have never happened if we had only met that once at the party and never talked again. It's funny how you might not even consider a person as a future bf at first, when really if you had just gotten to know then it would have worked out wonderfully!!! :)
