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!

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.

I adopted my three feline children. I'm not really interested in finding any more "significance."

I wish you well though!

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

This thread seems to be backfiring.

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

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.

So we were both so embarrassed, we just kind of went off and hugh out away from her.

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

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!

Great thread, Suzy!

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...

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 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?

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 ~

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

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
