How did you and S/O meet? (stolen from 3rd tri)

Also, because I'm bored.

When/Where did you and your S/O meet? Did you date right away?

DH and I met 12 years ago in a bar/"pool hall" (Players Pub) in Sacramento.

I was dating one of the bouncers. DH and his friends were regulars/"pool sharks" there. (We became friends). To make a long story short, one night the bouncer broke up with me. I went back to DH's apartment with him and basically, never left. (Or, as he puts it, "a pink comforter showed up and never left.")

We met in HS. I was dating a guy I hated and was always trying to get away from. I told ex that I liked someone else and said it was DH. That finally got ex to go away. That all happened at our JROTC ball and I danced with DH that night.

The next day I asked him to prom (which was 2 weeks away) and we started dating the week after that.

We met at a bar in college. It was my 22nd birthday and a fraternity rented it out (not for me). Hubs was not in the fraternity but he had friends so he was there....he was only 18 too. My friends dragged me bc it was a Sunday night. We met that night, then ran into eachother the next couple weeks out and about. Went on spring break and vowed not to hook up (lies) and then when we got back from spring break we went on our offical first date. Twelve years later, here we are.

We met in 8th grade. He wanted to be my boyfriend then, but I said no. We started dating when we were sophmores in high school.

DarthBaby · May 2010

I was with a friend at the gas station in college. Said the guy in the car over was cute. She said she knew him. Introduced me to him a couple days later. After I met him I said he was too cocky and talked too much.

We ran into each other alot in the dorms after that - most of the time we were bickering (which I guess was flirting).

2 months later I told my friend to set me up with a guy for our sorority formal. She said she was going to ask him. I said "yeah, funny". She did. He showed up. And the rest is history.

Echowysp · May 2010

He's my best friend's brother. We didn't date right away, but 11 years after meeting.

I even went to his first wedding. I remember dancing with him thinking "Damn, he got away!" Little did I know.... :-)

T1andT2 · May 2010

we met in class soph year of college. I had already known who he was....but he said he never saw me fresh year. (this is not normal at our college....which has 1 female for every 10 males...and probably only about 70 people in our major at that time.)

TMs1stBaby · May 2010

We met at a bar, during the day, on a Wednesday. I was alone doing a crossward puzzle, having lunch, he was there after a round of golf - we both had taken the day off work. His friend sent me over a shot of Rumpelmintz.

MrsSoapbox · May 2010

We met in graduate school...in the computer lab. How nerdy is that?! We knew each other for a semester before we started dating.

Small world. Um I go to Players Pub with my girlfriends! lol I live 10min away.

hewinked · May 2010

We met on match.com. We talked on the phone daily for a month cuz he was in another state visiting family. Then we met in person when he came home and have been together since.

MeanMommyLady · May 2010

We met our freshman year of high school. We never dated in high school although we remained good friends throughout. I attended his first wedding (the winter after we graduated from high school), we tried to stay in touch over the years, but eventually we sort of lost touch. I was in Old Navy at the mall one day with a friend and he spotted me through the window as he came down the escalator and waited for me. I saw him as I came out of Old Navy, we hugged in greeting and talked for a few minutes, he told me he was in the process of a divorce, I told him I was single again (six months out of a four year relationship), he asked for my phone number. One day shy of six months later we were married.

I had just graduated high school and came home from my Senior Trip in Hawaii. I also had just broken up with a guy that I dated for 2 years. My brother decided to pick me up from work and take me to a party at his friends house to cheer me up. It was a huge party and so much fun! Dh was living there with 2 other guys and he was drunk and asked my brother my name. Then I turn to hear a guy on a microphone announce to the whole house, "This one goes out to my Girlfriend Trish," and he started singing Whitney Houston, "I will always love you." He was wasted. I was embarrassed. He asked for my phone number and I said No lol We so each other again at another one of his parties and then I moved in. lol

alicia_angell · May 2010

I guess we first met when DH moved to our home town in junior high. We started dating the summer before our junior year of high-school and have been together ever since.

lite-bright · May 2010

We met through a mutual college friend, several years after college, when I was in the process of moving to the Bay Area for grad school and he was already there at a different school. My friend had gotten some people together so that I'd have a bit of a social circle, since I didn't really know anyone there, and DH was one. We hit it off immediately, he took a day later that week to show me around, and the rest is history.

What's more interesting is how we didn't meet. My younger sister hung out with a bunch of his fraternity brothers (she went to the same college), but we never crossed paths. We narrowed it down to one particular party where I was drinking at the bar and he was bartending, but we never met. When I was going through pics for a rehearsal dinner slideshow, I found a pic of that party with a bunch of mutual friends, and we're standing three feet apart, facing opposite directions -- seven years before we got married.

He was a rebound guy. I had broken up with a guy I thought I wanted to marry. We had discussed when, where and how and I was crushed when the guy ended it. DH and I were in our poli-sci class in 1st year at University and DH decided that I was too cute to not be smiling. So he made it his mission to make me laugh every Tuesday and Thursday for about three weeks. Another friend of mine said he would make a good fling. I went on a couple of dates with him, spent the night in his dorm and kind of never left.

I love this. lol

I guess that's sort of what happened with DH and me. I didn't expect to spend the rest of my life with him after that one night.

Crazy. We haven't been back to "Players" since our honeymoon, 8 years ago. We stopped in for 1 drink.

Are there still 2 locations? The one we frequented was the "nicer" of the 2 in my opinion. I think it was on "Fair Oaks"? The other location was maybe 1/4 mile away?

MissesRootbeer · May 2010

We were 13 and 14 who shared a mutual friend. I was on the phone with my friend one night and she suggested a 3-way call. Hit it off and been together ever since.

ChubbyCheekiesMom · May 2010

The interwebs circa 1998. We talked on AOL chat (LOL) for a month then started dating. 12 years and counting. I was 16 when we met.

shannm · May 2010

We met in 1998 in grad school. Flirted and blushed for about four years till I got out of another relationship. Then in 2002, I told him we needed to get to know each other better. Then we were inseperable. Good thing grad school took forever!!
