Jeremy and I met when we were in the 7th grade...I had a crush on him for about a year and a half and then he asked me out and we've been together ever since (although we've had some trouble lately) and we've been engaged for a year.

Wow Sam you two have an anniversary coming up soon! Congrats
i met my bf when i worked in a club, we became good mates at first, now wevw been together for 2 years.
I love these stories!
One of my work colleagues and I had to find and hire a band for the company spring dance. My colleague had a friend who was a guitar player in this band and suggested we go out to see them as they were playing locally. Turns out we hired the band and my husband was their bass player. My roommate and I went to see the band a couple of times and he came to sit with us during their breaks. She (my roommate) was really putting the make on him and I was barely paying attention, but the more he talked the more I thought "hmm, he's really nice". I usually didn't like guys that were good-looking because my experience had been they were too wrapped up in themselves to care about someone else. To make a long story short, I started cutting in on her territory, she said "hands off", I said, "all's fair in love and war" and she said "I've known you 10 years and this isn't like you to do this - you must really like him". I said, "I think so", and she said "Fine, go for it", and the rest is history. BTW she and I are still good friends.

I think we should put pix of ourselves in our post or for our icon so we know what the person looks like. I always thought the pix in Yosemite we the person writing! LOL
Chicken Dressing! man! Where have I been?????
BTW - I didn't mention that our 27th wedding anniversary is coming up on January 6, 2005.
My husband and I met at the Coffee Shoppe where I worked. My mother was the head waitress and I worked midnight shift during the summer and I was 17. Eric came in with a bunch of friends and they had worked on his car so they were pretty dirty. He order a cheeseburger and fries. When I placed his plate down in front of him, I asked if he was going to wash his hands cause they were covered in grim from his car. He said that, he had washed but if I wanted him too he would wash them again just for me. I slipped him my phone number while my mom was working another area and the rest is history.
That will be 18yrs ago this March.

My boyfriend had an an ad(dreambook) at an interracial dating site on Yahoo and I answered his ad in 2002 and we have been together for 2 years now... I hope to meet him IRL in the near future. Next year (September 23, 2005) will be 3 years for us
. It is an LDR also
. Only 655.14 miles (10 hours) though
.
heh well...
here goes mine
My friend who was living here at the time she had just moved to frankfurt and we decided to look through the yahoo profiles. So i messaged about 5 boys and waited to see if i got a reply!!!
When i came home (i always leave the computer on) i found a message from one of the people i contacted we met a week later at a tram stop.
Well we admitted to each other that the first view of each other from far away was pretty awful. LOL! but as we got up close i found he was pretty. we got interested in each other and from that day on i have seen him everyday!! I had only messaged those people so i could have friends and so they would introduce me to their friends and you know how it goes.
this was one and a half years ago, infact for both of us this is the longest relationship and we rarely ever argue. He wants to get married but only untill he has a stable job. So i wonder when im going to get my engagement ring
I caught him looking at the rings at this store but hm
My mum supports me to get married. Even if i am so young because she got married at 19 But i am not keen on rushing into the marrige just yet!!

Awwwww. I love reading all these. How sweet
I had been dating a guy for 2 years and then followed him to college. Silly me, young and in love went to a small technical college when I could have gone to University... boy were my parents upset at the time. So... I picked a major that I wasn't really interested in so I could attend this school. It was very involved with Math and I am not the best in that subject. So I was in danger of failing and I asked this other student to help me. He agreed to tutor me in the evenings. Well... long story short we never actually got around to studying math and we will have been married 2 years this June. This christmas marked our 5th year together.
My parents aren't upset that I went to a tech school anymore.

I was the girl next door
hehehehehehehe my hubby moved in next door to us about 24 years ago and we have been together for nearly 20 years now
Scott and I met online, I put an ad on yahoo personals, as a joke with my friends, and he answered! We didn't talk much at first as we were both very busy with school. I decided to message him to say hi one day and we talked all the time. We chatted for months before we finally met on St. Patrick's Day. We instantly liked each other....it'll be 3 years on St. Patty's day. We both graduate in May, and hopefully we can both get good jobs and get married.
I enjoyed reading everyone's stories!!!

I was a sysop on a Pets forum on CompuServe, when dh became a new sysop and we began chatting in the for staff lounge section. We emailed for a couple of months with me feeling quite silly as I'd not even dated in almost 10 years, I was just feeling ready to do so. When I found out he was younger by more than 10 years, I really felt like I might be making a fool of myself.
I decided it was never wrong to be kind, and sent him a Christmas gift package - homemade white chocolate macademia nut cookies, treats for his cats, and a jar of my great-aunt marion's homemade raspberry jam. He later told me that was what did it. We had our first phone call soon after he received the package, it lasted for 4 hours, and from then until we married, we only missed talking maybe 3 days.
He proposed to me the day after Valentine's day, though we'd not been in the same state yet. We married that October, and celebrated our 9th anniversary this year
I left my career, sold my home in NY, and moved out to WA state.
We startled quite a few folks, but honestly not each other. We were meant to be, and there is no doubt in our minds, that God had a hand in all of this. I can actually show a progression of events from the age of 30, each one necessary, or we'd have never met 10 years later...all of it began with my being kind to a boyfriend at the time with the gift of a kitten who became my sweet guardian angel Bookie <RB>, who founded my line of American Curls, and whose distinctive, off-center lightening bolt tortie blaze is still popping up on very distant descendants the world over.

My husband and I met at a stupid highschool party. I was 15 and he was 21 and I stole my dads truck to go over there. He walked into the room and it was truly love at first sight. We locked eyes and it seemed like we never blinked. His friends made fun of him because they said that he looked like a little puppy, maybe sense I'm an animal that's what did it. I moved in with him about 2 months later and we haven't left eachothers side sense. I married young but I believe it was the best thing I ever did.
Aww thank you Teresa. His name is Trent by the way!Originally Posted by DragonLady

We met through a mutual friend at a dam where everyone hung out on Sundays. He was young, 16, with his first Harley, and this older guy, Dawg Jim, let him hang around because he needed help pushing his bike to start it. Jim told him I was just what he needed and introduced us. He told me that day that there would never be another woman for him. It took me 7 years and 2 crappy husbands to figure out he was right. I was 20 when we met, and the age difference seemed huge. I am so glad he was still interested when I came to my senses. He has never even had another girlfriend. We will be together 20 years in February.
Awww..you really wanna know?
We were both gaming freaks back in the college days. i knew him through playing multi-user dungeon (MUD) online. i was studying in Canada, and he was here in US. After 1 year of playing together, we finally met up. i never even knew what he looked like until we met.
Back then i was like 20lbs heavier, and he still fell in love with me. So i said this guy's a keeper.
And here we are today, 6 more months till our wedding! OMG~ time really flies...
