How did you meet DH?
I'm uber bored at work, so I thought we could play a little game. Tell me how you met DH/SO?
DH and I met when I was 17, and spending the summer with my dad, who was working in Florida for a few months. Dh was the landscaper for the condo complex that we were staying in. After several weeks of honking and whistling at him as I drove by, I finally worked up the nerve to talk to him. We hung out a couple of times, before I returned to St. Louis to finish my senior year, but we didn't keep in touch when I left.
Fast forward a year, my family decided they wanted to move to Florida permanently. So, 6 days after I graduated, we packed up and headed south. After a couple of weeks, my sister and I decided to do my mom a favor and drive my brother to school. After dropping him off, we decided to take a different way home, which we had never taken before. It took us past his house, and as we were driving by, he pulled out in front of us on his motorcycle! I made him pull over and give me his phone number, and we've been together ever since!
If I hadn't taken my brother to school that day, and I hadn't decided to try a new route home, and if he hadn't taken off work that day, we wouldn't have crossed paths again. It was fate!

Thanks! I would get bummed on rainy days b/c he would be called off of work. But I loved hot days, because he would take his shirt off!
Aww, some of you have really cute stories!
DH and I went to the same tiny Christian school all our lives - starting in Kindergarten. We didn't start dating 'til our senior year, though. It took me 13 years to get him to notice me!

and to think I thought he was a drug dealer.. hey what 19 year old owns a home these days?!
I'll start with how we *didn't* meet.
We went to the same small school for undergrad, he knew my younger sister (who also went there), and we later narrowed it down to one party where he was tending bar and I was sitting at the bar, but we never met.
When I was going through a bunch of pics for a rehearsal dinner slide show, I found some pics from that party -- including one where we were standing three feet apart, facing opposite directions. He still has the shirt he was wearing.
We didn't meet until five years later, when I moved to CA for grad school (he was already in grad school at a nearby school) and a mutual friend from college offered to get some friends together so that I'd know a few people in the area. We hit it off immediately and the rest is history.

Cute story OP.
I met dh in school, in college, in Buffalo, NY. We took gross anatomy together, so we met while dissecting cadavers. We would talk when we saw each other out at the bars and then started studying together in the library. We dated for 8 months before we both moved away to do internships. We stayed together, long distance, for 5 months. After we were both done we moved to Utah together.
DH and I met in biology class in tenth grade. I don't think we were particularily interested in each other; just friendly. In 11th grade we were in a lot of activities together and we became best friends. It was not until he asked me to prom that year that I realized he really liked me and I liked him too. Because of my faith and some personal convictions, I did not want to date in high school. It was REALLY hard, but we remained friends even though there were times when we wanted to be more than that.
I went to college 4 hours away from home and he stayed local. We parted as friends and really thought that was it. We kept talking every once in a while, but never talked about a potential relationship, even though I kept thinking and praying about it. Halfway through freshman year, he became very sick and almost died; I realized right then and there that I never wanted to lose him. We started talking regularly, more seriously, and began our (long distance) relationship in May 2006. 18 months later we were engaged and 18 months after that we were married. He is still my very best friend and I think the waiting made us stronger :-)
DH and I met in Kindergarten.
We grew up in a tiny town so there were only 15 people in our graduating class. All through elementary he would pick on me and tease me and pull my hair and make me go home crying...my mom told me it was just because he liked me. We dated for a week in 8th grade and then weren't single at the same time until after our Freshmen year in college. We started dating that summer and have been together now for 6 years and now we have a little girl on the way!

All are welcome!
I was staying at a friend's house from school when I was 16, and she told me I needed to start talking to this guy who she had youth group with. She introduced us online, and we chatted for a few months; it was no big deal.
Then, four months later, he came to one of our volleyball games with a friend of his, and I was like, THIS is who I've been talking to this entire time?!?! I was so mad at my friend for not telling me how cute he was!
We hung out in a group of friends for about a month, then I asked him to my homecoming my decorating his car. At homecoming, he got down on one knee with a ring pop and asked me to be his gf
We've been together ever since. So we started dating when I was 16 (he was 18), got engaged when I was 19, married when I was 20, pregnant at 21, and I'll give birth when I'm 22!!
We're both each other's first bf/gf, first everything. I just feel so lucky to have found him so early in my life; he's my best friend.
chemistry, eh? lol

this!
Such cute stories!
Thanks for helping me pass the time. I love hearing "how we met" stories.
DH and I met our junior year in college... but we realized we could have met numerous times before.
First our freshmen year we were both at the same party - it was a relatively small party and it was for the lacrosse team. I went with my friend whose boyfriend was on the team, he showed up with my friends boyfriend. I was one of only a handful of girls there but we didn't meet - we remember all the same events though.
His sister went to another school and ended up becoming friends with a girl I went to high school with. The girl I went to HS with got a ride to visit me with my future SIL - and then ditched me one night to hang out with SIL's "brother and his friends". His sister actually met my parents long before he did because she went to a concert with HS "friend" and my sister.
Sophomore year all the guys from his floor Freshman year moved into my building, a floor above me - so I knew all of them, but still we didn't meet.
Finally, junior year, we lived across the hall from each other - started dating a month after finally meeting and knew almost right away that he was the one.
I went to a family BBQ with a guy I was dating - it was becoming obvious that it was heading into 'friends only' territory and we weren't right for each other. So he invited his coworker/friend because he thought we'd be perfect for one another.
He was right. A few weeks later, after we discussed it with my ex to make sure he didn't mind.. we went on our first date. I'd never dated a friend of an ex before and never thought I would, I'm glad I made that exception!
I met my DH through his Air force room-mate. I had just graduated from high school and my friends and I liked to hang out at a pool hall (yay for fake ID's) that was close to the base. We started up a pool game with some hot officers and I became friends with one of them (DH's room-mate). It turns out that he was the ex-boy friend of one of my elder sisters (creepy).
My DH came back from Iraq a few month later, I was invited to his welcome back from the sandbox party and we started "dating" that night. Almost two years later we were married.
DS- Wesley- March 14, 2010
I was working in an urgent care/primary care office where we held corporate contracts for pre-employment physicals. My DH had a new job with one of the companies and came in for his "physical"---he's a computer geek, so his physical was just listen to heart and lungs, make sure he could see/hear and pester him on lifestyle issues like diet, exercise, smoking cessation, etc. I did all this and cleared him. We had some basic chit chat about how he was moving back home from college, etc. (I'm not from here, but he is).
A couple of weeks later, he shows up at the office with bronchitis. I saw him and treated him appropriately. He has a big voice and some of the girls in the hall heard him talking/joking with me. They said, "Yep, we'll be seeing him again." I just laughed them off.... but low and behold, he started calling the office wanting to talk to me about this and that mundane topic (medicine, kidney stones, etc). Finally, I asked him if he had a church in town (I had been inviting girls to my church left and right that were new to town, why not guys??). He called me out on it and I said, Yes, I'm inviting you to mine. This is usually not a turn on to guys. They usually take off running the other way, or come to the church so they can see if there are any hotties there (I'm so not a hottie, I'm a total geek too). So, he came that Sunday (never thought he would in a million years). We went out to lunch afterwards, and he has continued to be smitten ever since.
We got engaged a little over a year later, married 5 more months later, and now, 2 and a half years later, we're expecting LO!
