I feel like a total dork-- but e-harmony. I was actually on there as a joke-- checking out the free personality profile. I never signed up for it. One weekend, I'm totally bored and it happens to be free communication weekend. I found his name on my "matches" and though-- "Weird name!!" So I sent him a fake note with my email in it secretly! We started talking and enjoyed each other a lot.

I called him on a sunday one time and he says, "I'm really tired, let me call you tomorrow" A week goes buy and no call.. I finally see him online, rip him a new one for not calling (my fuse was short with men like that) and got offline. Not even 3 minutes later, he calls me. Within a week, we met in person, and ever since we've been crazy about each other!! I still joke about him not calling and my short temper with him not calling
face9.gif
he's the love of my life though!!! We never run out of things to talk about.

edit: I'm really tired and see that my english skills are not at their best right now.sorry!
 
J and I met online, through another message board. We got to chatting over IMs, and the 3rd day we 'talked' for 12 hours (or was it 14? Something ridiculous). Despite me having 4 jobs at the time, I still made sure we talked daily from then on. 3.5+ years later, we're still together, despite all the stuff stacked against us. And we're almost there! Just a couple months away from being able to live together and actually see each other every day! And I think we might get a hedgehog.

ohhh cute thread! Lets do this:

Okay, so when I was 19 I took a break from Uni and decided to earn some major cash by working for my parents construction comapany... at a GOLD MINE
31.gif
...in the middle of NOWHERE (seriously, there was only 1 post office, 2 pubs, 1 huge-arse mine...and apparently, one future husband!
2.gif
)

... I was working in the on-site office and Paddy was working for the company as a fabricator/ engineer. That was 6 years ago... we got engaged last weekend!!!

It''s too funny because the only outfit he ever saw me in was a high-visibility construction vest, steel cap boots, safety glasses and a helmet....... mmmmm SEXY! It''s especially funny considering I am now a fashion stylist!!

Wow! It''s really refreshing that other people met their SO online too! James and I met on Match.com It was so odd, one day I was online and very bored. I decided to expand my horizons, so to speak; and I just starting looking at everyone who was online profiles. Then, something caught my eye!!! It was James, and I INSTANTLY knew he was the one! :) He lived in Michigan, and I in Indiana. I told my parents I found the man I was going to marry and they were like, "Thats nice" and "Don''t get your hopes up" I guess the rest is history! Does anyone ever feel odd when people ask how you met and it was online? And, you tell them and they are like, "oh." haha

I used to be very embarassed to say we met on myspace and make up something like we met through mutual friends or something. Now I just don''t care. More and more people are meeting online and there should be nothing wrong with that.

Look at how many friends were made on this site alone!

So are you two in Michigan now or Indiana?? Or have you not cohabited yet?

If you''re in Michigan, let me know! -- we can swap ideas on wedding/reception sites!! Hehe :)
 
We met in college! I was leaving the dorm and he was coming in. I remember him stopping and turning around when I went through the security turnstile gizmo. About a week later, he sent in a mutual friend to ask if I was seeing anyone. Then the introduction... and that was it!

Awww... your stories are so sweet. Gosh, it's really incredible.
 
Hey! Don''t be shy if you met online! I know 3 VERY HAPPILY MARRIED couples who met online. It''s where all the cool busy people with busy careers meet these days!

I met my BF when I was 12 or 13, him 15 or 16. Any ways, he was my brothers good friend, and of course the older boy! I always had a crush on him, since i first met him.

When I was in high school we were on the same tennis team, he was a senior and I was a freshman. he teased me so bad, he''d say things like, "I like the way you swing your racket." anyways he did this until I would cry...i was sensitive.

we then worked together when I was a Junior/Senior in high school at the same pizza place, he had a girlfriend at the time though. anyways (i like that word ok!) he was there to celebrate with me when i was accepted to college, happend to be the same college he went to. he teased me then too like "I''m going to come up and sleep in your dorm room on my breaks." he never did.

my sophmore year of college I had just broken up with my boyfriend of a year (who i met online by the way) and my parents were not getting along and thinking about divorce, and here was my Boy to save the day!

it''s been BFF/Love ever since.

I always tell him, "it just took you longer to realize you loved me, as I always knew you did!"

Lauren we are living in Indiana now. BOO! Man..it would be nice to have someone close to exchange venues with!! ~Sarah
 
In Miami! His friend was trying to talk to me (I had a great tan, let me tell you
31.gif
) but BF was watching me the whole time. I thought he was adorable so I introduced the friend to a friend of mine and casually slipped away. They hit it off (for a few hours anyway) and I went straight for him
27.gif
. We exchanged numbers, he went back to NY and we had a phone relationship for a few months. After 3 months of talking on the phone (and some EXPENSIVE phone bills) I moved back to Boston and we did a LD relationship for a year. Then, I just got tired, and decided to drop it all and leave Boston for NYC.

It was an adjustment but it was absolutely worth it because that boy is the love of my life...
30.gif


BTW: Keep the stories coming!!! I love reading how you all fell in love!
 
I met my fiancé on match.com as well! I had been on match.com for about 6 months and my contract was about to expire. I had gone out on a few dates and met a lot of nice guys (and a few duds) but nothing that was going to work out in the long run. I was sick of seeing the same guys on the site. On a whim I decided to expand my search radius by 10 miles. That is when I found the love of my life. I found this profile that was funny and quirky. It was different than others, but he sounded car obsessed (his screen name was something like chevylover) and that seemed weird to me. I decided what the heck. I sent him a really funny email saying what a shame it was that I bought a new car that was not Chevy and now we didn’t have a chance in hell of hitting it off! lol! He wrote back a clever response and I instantly knew our humor was the same. We emailed and talked on the phone for a few weeks before meeting. We met and had a nice time. We always had a good time when we went out but he seemed hesitant to get serious. He fell of the face of the earth eventually. About 6 months later he wrote me this email saying how awful he felt for disappearing. It was just an apology letter. He never thought I would give him another chance. A long term ex girlfriend came back in the picture after we went out a few times and felt he should give that one more chance. I told him a respected that but he should have told me. I was actually in the same boat at the time. He said he had finally realized she was not the one for him and he had been thinking about how much fun we had together nonstop. He hoped that he would someday find somebody as fun as me to date cause he didn’t think that I would ever go out with him again. I eventually agreed to go out with him again and we have never looked back. Things have been amazing ever since. We recently took a compatibility test as part of our marriage preperation counseling and scored the highest the counselor had ever seen. We are getting married in December! God Bless match.com for bringing us together. We never would have met otherwise.
 
I met my husband thru a blind date, he was my cousin''s boss, we have been married 24 years.
 
Mr. Man and I met though a former crush of mine! I decided to study abroad in Prague for the summer and met a guy who later turned out to be the lead singer of my boyfriend''s band. Needless to say this "crush" turned out to be...not a good person to date. So we just became friends. After I got back from Prague we decided to met up to hang out. That night I met my BF. He had just gotten out of a crappy relationship and wasn''t looking for another relationship which was fine with me because I wasn''t wanting that either... We stayed up all night talking about relationships and what you learn from them. We talked about art and laughed all night. I went home and thought he was a cool guy and that was it! After about a week of really getting along we kissed and three weeks later I told my mother, "I know that if things don''t work out with this guy I''ll be fine on my own, but honestly I don''t know if I''ll find someone a good for me as he is" That statement really freaked me out because I was always so independent and a bit of a hard a$$.
2.gif
That''s when I knew I wanted him to be mine for the long haul.... and the rest is history!

* I always say that that one decision to study abroad changed my life (and it did in SO many ways) Prague has a special place in my heart *
 
It was July 3rd 2007... (really July 4th since it was after midnight)

I was out with my best girlfriends partying at my favorite local bar and grill and he was there with his brother and best friend.

He approached me, we chatted, we danced and then I asked him if he''d call me if I gave him my number. He said no, but offered up his. We exchanged numbers and parted ways around 2am. I called him the next night and we have talked every day since. Our first date was a few days later. It''s been 11 months and I don''t think I have ever been happier even though it''s still hard to admit that we met at a bar.
 
We met each other because we both work at the same place. We started off barely talking to each other and then slowly we started flirting more and more. Then we sorta had a friends with benefits thing because I wasn''t ready for a relationship and he was sorta on the tail ends of the relationship he was in. Then all of a sudden after a year of this we just asked each other what we were doing with this silly relationship and we decided to start dating seriously. 2 months later we were living together and buying a ring.
 
match.com. I winked and he winked back, so I sent him a message.
 
I met my boyfriend in a bar. I was out with a friend on a random Wednesday night when BF walked in with his uncle and two friends. His uncle started hitting on me and my friend. Then one of his friends came over and while we were talking he randomly kissed me. I went over and joined there table and my BF didn''t seem interested in me at all. But when they were all getting ready to leave he came over to me and asked for my number! We''ve lived happily ever after since then.

GRRR...computer ate my post.

FF and I met through friends at the Jersey Shore 5 years ago. I was 24 he was 25. I had a house with a few of my friends from work, all guys and one girl. The girl went to college with my FF although she didn''t introduce us. She introduced me to one of her guy friends from college and I asked him if he had any cute single friends (Who says that?). Anyway he took me over to meet his friends and the only one I talked to all night was FF. We have been together ever since.

We have made it through so many different obstacles in the past 5 years that I always knew we were meant to be together. I mean, if you can make it through a summer at the jersey shore with a new bf then it has to work right? HAHA. Anyway, when we first met I was living in Philladelphia and he was in NYC. About a year and a half later I moved to NYC and took a new job. We lived seperatley for 2+ years and then a year ago we bought and moved into our apartment in NY.

We are currently picking out my ER and should be engaged by the end of the summer!

My roommate had a pet hedgehog in college! Unfortunately, he got Wobbly Hedgehog Disease and passed away a couple of years ago. But he was adorable!

Aww, I''m sorry your old roommate''s hedgehog got sick! J and I have been talking about getting a hedgehog for a couple of years now, but we don''t really want to get any pets until we''ve picked what country we''ll be living in for a while. So it might have to wait a year...BUT if I get a good job and want to stay here in England for longer than one year, then we might go ahead and get one sooner! Either way, it''s fun to look forward to.

These posts are all soooo great!!!

We have a weird story about how we met too. We met in a hospital surgical waiting area, which is where the family members of patients wait while the patients are having surgery. Neither of us were working that day, but his father was having a procedure done and my stepmom was having surgery as well.

So we were out on the patio area, where my dad is talking (read almost shouting) about how excited he was that I might graduate college early and when would I apply to med school. (I was seriously somewhat embarrassed, I think he really just wanted everyone to hear about it.) Anyway, after a short while, he went inside to read a newspaper and I am left all alone on the patio with just 1 guy (future SO).

The patio is like 40 feet long but instead of walking away from the ONE girl (ME) reading a book, he decides to open up his cell phone like 5 feet from me and call up his friend. I so distinctly remember looking up at him and giving him this little snotty look (thinking, god why can''t you just move?) and he says: "hi". Which I assumed was to someone on the phone and I just got back to my book. Right after he gets off the phone, he''s like Oh I said hi to you,... and I couldn''t help but overhear... you''re applying to med school? I just graduated, so maybe I can give you some advice.

We talked for an hour and the next day we went to dinner. I didn''t even realize it was a date, I thought he just wasn''t familiar with the area and given all the advice he''d given me about medical school, I should be nice. 6 dates later, he had to fly back to NY for his job and we stayed cross country long distance for a whole year before we moved to Boston together.

I guess the one thing I learned is that: you can find love anywhere. Anytime.

Haha I met my BF in choir class in high school! We had choir together my sophomore year and I thought he was so hot, but he had a girlfriend so I just considered him eye candy. Then in the summer my mom was looking through my yearbook and said, "What about this boy? He looks nice" and pointed to my BF! At the time I said no mom, he has a girlfriend. My mom said "He just doesn''t know you yet" Haha...so we ended up having choir again the next year, and I had just gone through a ridiculous breakup and would come to class with puffy eyes and no makeup, etc, and he started talking to me!!! When I looked all ugly! His first line was "What are you reading?" Haha...and we started talking more and more in class. He mentioned this one movie, so I rented it but hadn''t watched it yet, and told him as much. He then said "Maybe we could watch it together"...so, the next weekend he came over my house and we watched it in the basement (at this point I thought he wanted to be friends) and then during the movie...he grabbed my hand!!!

I got up the guts to kiss him, and the rest is history.

We are moving in together in 2 months exactly!

Yea so I''m actually in NY now for med school, and SO is still in Boston. It''s been rough but this was the best school I got into and he convinced me that no matter where I went, we''d stay together. And we have!!

I guess I should add, that those 6 dates we had.... were in 6 days and then he left and I basically had known my new boyfriend even existed for all of 7 days! The night before he left he said he had something to tell me and I totally thought he was going to say: "I don''t actually live in NY, I''m not a doctor, I''m actually married and have three kids and work at home depot..." or just something totally different

but instead he said: I think I''m falling for you.

It was so cute!

Traverse City is absolutely STUNNING! I would LOVE to get married out there. I''m leaning towards St Johns in Plymouth

SO beautiful.

Just don''t tell SO, yet. Have to let him think he has some input, right?
