How did you meet your significant other?
 

Provide hope for the single people, please, and share your stories if you would!

Meet someone? What does that mean? It's been a long time.... I need some hope! :o

Significant other? Do you mean my 19 year old daughter or my three cats? My daughter and I met on Halloween when I gave birth to her. :laugh: I adopted my three feline children. I'm not really interested in finding any more "significance." :laugh: I wish you well though! :wavey:

Really? You're just not interested in dating at all? That just might be the way to go! :laugh:

This thread seems to be backfiring. :lol:

Hmmm...
 

let's see...Take one hormonal 21 year old male, add a bunch of liquor/alcohol (One of the few times I got blitzed) and one attractive 27 year old female...And there ya go!

Sad but hilariously true :lol:

It amazes me that we are still together after 15 years...I have beat both my parents and siblings in length of a relationship & marriage.

I met my boyfriend at a highschool formal dance. We were both asking about some girl that everyone hated, and who she was, and it turns out she was sitting between us. :laugh: So we were both so embarrassed, we just kind of went off and hugh out away from her. :p

I met my beautiful wife right here on The Ledge (well, the OLD Ledge) back in 1997. :thumbsup:

WOW! It was you! I thought there was someone who met their spouse on here..... Well, I would take someone from The Ledge if they weren't all gay! :laugh:

Great thread, Suzy! :xoxo:

My one and only hubby of 16 years saw me and a girlfriend at a drive-up window downtown, and he slid across the hood of my car and up to my window and started singing AC/DC's "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" to me. We were only 18 and 19 years old, and he was quite the partier that was pretty well on his way to drunkland that night, but all I saw were those beautiful eyes that you've seen that he has, and how sweet he was...and has always been, since! Him looking exactly like Phil Collen of Def Leppard didn't hurt, either...:D

My boyfriend, who I plan on trapping into marriage asap, saw me on my first night working part-time at his store- I was ringing someone up, and he thought I was so pretty that he walked straight into a book table while staring.

He asked me out a couple of times over that summer, and I didn't really realize that's what he was doing. Probably because I was distracted by the Star Wars cross-hatch books he was reading at the time. He's a dork, but he's my dork. Our little secret is that I am actually way dorkier than he is.

I'm right there with ya, I've had about enough significance to last me a lifetime!

Except cuter! :p :lol: Love that story.

I met my husband online through yahoo. I had been on a string of bad dates through the site and decided that this would be the last one. I was so nervous and tried to get to the restaurant before he did. He said he saw me walk up and sit down outside on a bench and flip my hair off my shoulders. He said he instantly feel for me. After the evening was over I tried to act cool ~ we hugged and he said he would call. I thought I can't let this one get away sooooo I blurted out ARE YOU SURE YOUR GOING TO CALL ME? :eek: As soon as I said it I wanted to DIE. He came back over to my car and hugged me and said yes he will call. I got in my car and drove off freaking out. How could I sound so desperate ~ so stupid. I was hitting the steering wheel calling myself all kinds of names. Then I was resolved that I would never heard from him again. I went home and was outside playing with my animals (they always bring my comfort). When I went back inside I had missed a call from him. He came by the next day on his Harley and we have spent almost everyday since then together. We married last year. And yes ~ he still makes fun of me ~ :lol:

awwww that is such a cute story!

A lot of people I know have met their spouses through the Internet...my mom tried it a few years ago, but sadly only seemed to attract/meet the crazies :laugh:

What a great thread, Suze...I've been wondering about how people meet lately too - as it seems to be so damn hard for me. Of course I also realized that I'm a lot less social than I used to be, a lot less out-going and a lot less "free-spirited" and I can't figure out when I lost those things :distress:

Hang on..... I'm not gay, or married for that matter. That makes me the minority I know but...

I'm still a member on here!! :blob1: :laugh: :wavey:

p.s. I forgot I'm "virtually" married to Suze if I recall??. :lol:

At a photo shoot where we were both modeling by sitting at a bar drinking - AND they paid me for that and the booze was free :eek:

The net is an especially good place to meet people if you don't go out much I would think. In the old days before computers, people that didn't go out sat at home on their own. Nowadays people that don't go out talk to people that don't go out online. :laugh: Some of my best friends I met online.

I would think eventually it will overtake all other forms of people meeting. I still believe 95 times out of 100 if you meet somebody in a bar it isn't going to work out. Supermarkets work. Or so I'm told. If you hang around the "meals for one" section you can take your pick of the people that come in..

Thats my tip of the week girls. :wavey: :)

:laugh: Gee - I better stop going grocery shopping in my gym clothes and/or grossest clothes I can find.

I'm sorry, honey.... You're right. The majority of them are gay.

Suze, why are you trolling around looking for a date when your married to this guy??? :laugh:

Lindsey B thought Seteca and I were gay during a gig back in 2003 (I was expecting him to tell us to go stand in front of Stevie). Then he realised we were more interested in his playing skills than him and he chilled right out. The next night he was cool, grinning and messing about with us. I don't think he's comfortable with male attention. :laugh:

I'll leave the Mrs to answer that one.. ;) :p

Lol!
 

No, I really don't think he is. You know that face he made in Pattie's old signature with her quote about the solo album? Yeah, that's the face I think I remember him making one night. LOL

Every dang time Lindsey looked at me or pointed at me...I nudged Seteca. He probably had sore ribs. :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: I wondered why he kept moving sideways during the gigs.

Thre has been 3 signifcant others in my life. The last (adn current) one was while I was traveling, at a rain forest 4 years ago. It begun like a fairy tale, though fairy tales of course don't exist. So right now, after few separations and reconciliations, it is very nice but not magic. There's no magic anymore when you are 40.

This is a cute thread. I met my husband when we were both working at a Marriott Hotel. Not very original, but we had fun. ;)

You know, I can't visualize what you look like- I know you've had pictures of yourself up here but I can't remember. I think you should share your hotness once more.

Don't say that! :distress:

I'm just dating someone, but I guess exclusively, so...all I can tell you with this one is get a best friend who has a brother...:laugh: :shocked: Yes, I'm dating my best friend's brother. He lives in Chico, though.

Let's go through my list, shall we?

First semi bf for one month - He was camping next to us the month we spent working in Alaska.
First real bf - met him where we worked. I believe when he first saw me, I was walking up the stairs away from him, and he was down below, and he said "who's that?!"
He was a butt man. Great guy.
Second bf- sadly, cheated on my first with this one, he was my roomate. We went out for a couple years, though, it was fun.

Third, fourth, fifth, sixth? - I met them all at the bar I worked at here in Berkeley when I first moved here, though went out with 2 of them way after I stopped working there.

The fourth one that i met there was my favorite bf ever - he was playing bass in a band that was playing there, I didn't work there but had just driven back from Chico and stopped in. I went up to him after and said "good job" or something, not fawning at all, because I just thought they did a good job, I wasn't trying to meet him. So, he came up a few minutes later and said he was intrigued by my nonchalance or something. We traded witty banter for a few minutes, and he said he must go out with me. So, I gave him my number, because he was magical and his eyes were mesmerising and he was funny and cute.
Our first date was - my best friend rented a big nice house for her engagement party up in...fort bragg or something? On the beach. He drove up after I had been there a day. He was charming, he charmed everyone else, and when my friend's mom asked him what he was doing there, he said "I came to meet the most beautiful girl I've ever seen" :D But it actually sounded sincere.

It appears I'm all about convenience, convenience, convenience. :laugh: A couple of those people wanted to marry me, but I didn't wanna.

It's harder to meet people up here, though, in Chico it's simple. :(


There've been others, but I would hardly call them boyfriends.

So cool! I couldn't even imagine being out at high school - and its only been two years since I graduated. I don't think I knew of any other gay guys at all, let alone meeting a boyfriend :laugh:

I am happily wedded to my little van - we're at it for 12 hours solid every weekday, and on weekends we leave each other the hell alone. I met her on eBay - £2000 and she was all mine :nod:

Vans are more reliable than girls, and less likely to cheat on you, although it is not unknown. Reproduction is an issue though - we haven't figured that one out yet.

Seriously though, I don't get time to go out much and I don't know anyone around here, so meeting my significant other is a long way off, if she exists at all. Maybe I'll bump into her next time around ;)

Here we are in the ad where we met last year. I am in the green shirt.

It doesn't sound like you even care. I remember a long time ago there was one of those questionnaire thingies on here, and one of the questions was like "what do people not know about you?" (I think) and you replied "that I'm rubbish in bed" :shocked: :laugh:

So maybe you don't care???:shrug:

What sign is your mega hunky boyfriend, Strand?

Leo - like MY MOTHER :eek:

I gave up years ago. Try when you are over 40. :nod:

HOGWASH!!!

You are a handsome guy, you have a good job, you are personable, and you bathe - what the **** else could a girl want!!!

Well, that's a good match.
What a f*cking fox!

If I could answer that one.....:shrug: Just when you get to a certain age, seems everyone you meet has a ton of baggage or is a psycho.

Phew, so glad you remembered on your own and didn't have to be reminded! :lol:

I bet you never even ask anyone out. :rolleyes: ;)

Not anymore. I decided to become a monk. I was thinking of applying here:

Monks don't get to eat mild and cookies.

LEO ? How does that work ?
Two stars in one pair.
One star per household please.:laugh:
