Let's be sweet...how did you meet your your better half?

Drunk at a karaoke bar. I had gone out with my best friend and she was with a big group of people that included my now husband. I thought he was with a different girl who was also in the group but once I figured out he was single I went for it. With liquid courage.

I meet him working at a resort we both got stuck with a shift at the pool

We worked at the same place, married to different people. He was one of those computer geeks that I never had much to do with. Years later, I was divorced, he was separated. We were in the same coffee pool so we would periodically chat. More years later, he had transferred to another branch of the company and I was promoted to a position in the same branch. We worked together, became friendlier, began dating, and eventually married.

We lived across the hall from each other in our first year of university in on-campus residence.
My mom was horrified there were boys *right* across the hall.

We met at the start of the school year in September, we were both in first year science and had a couple of classes together. I fell in love with him during an 8 am organic chemistry lecture in the beginning of December. By March we were dating. That was 15 years ago now!

When I first moved to Albuquerque in 1991, I began working at Walmart Pharmacy. There was an intern there named Cyndi. She and I became instant friends. The kind of friends where you feel like you've known each other forever, even though you've only known each other for a day. We've been best friends ever since. Her youngest brother moved to ABQ in 1993 and we began to hang out together. At that time, the relationship only served a certain need, if you know what I mean. LOL We each went our own way in 1994, on neutral terms. He moved back to the midwest, and I carried on with my life in NM/West TX. I always felt so incredibly comfortable around him though, like I didn't have to look a certain way or act a certain way to be accepted by him. I just figured it wasn't meant to be. He subsequently got married, and I was crushed. He then got divorced, and I rejoiced, along with the rest of his family.

Meantime, my BFF moved to WA and in 2007 decided to move back to NM. Her youngest brother helped her family move back. He needed a place to stay before his flight back to NE, so she asked if he could stay the night at my house. I agreed. We kept in touch with each other via text. He came back for a visit in January, 2008, and it wasn't spectacular. When he left, I told my other friend that I was relieved to have gotten him out of my system. LOL

But the man kept texting me! And then we started talking on the phone. We would talk for hours at a time, every single day. It was wonderful. When my dog died in April of that year, the only person I wanted to talk to was him. It was that day that I knew I was in love with him. He came for a visit in July of that year, and it was absolutely wonderful. The stuff dreams are made of. 6 weeks later, he left his home in NE and moved to NM to be with me. We were married 14 months later, and I love him more today than yesterday, and I'll love him even more tomorrow.

So basically, I married my best friend's brother. <3

Blind date!

We had a mutual business acquaintance who kinda introduced us through business originally. Then we started talking on the phone...he made me laugh, kept my interest and I agreed to meet him for dinner.

21 years later (18 of which are married years) we are still together!

We met our first day of college. We dated other people, but were friends. He invited me to play on a coed softball team and we both eventually broke up with our boyfriend/girlfriends. We've been married 35 years.

We worked together. I little work place romance that we kept quiet for 4 years. I still work there, he has moved on. Still no one knows...

We met at a christening. He was Godfather to my (former) bff's son. He got my number from her that day, then called me the next day and we spent 6 hours on the phone. We went on our first date, got engaged two months later and married a year after that. We've been together 8 years.

Oh, and she is my former bff because she thought my now DH was a good match for her.

We met in a bar ... 'nuff said   

We've been together for more than 20 years ... married for more than 16   

We met while on a business trip in New Orleans. He was friends with some people I worked with and tagged along for a fun vacation. My group met his group for dinner the night before the event started and we were instant friends. We were both dating other people so we added each other on facebook and kept in touch for a few years. I ended my relationship and about a year later he ended his so I stopped talking to him (i'm not a rebound girl, ever)
After probably 5-6 months of ignoring him we were both up super late and he initiated a conversation. We ended up talking for a few hours and realized that we had a lot in common. That turned into chatting on facebook, texting, skyping and whatnot for a few months until fall rolled around and I called him one day and said "Look, this is out of character for me but we need to go on a real date, I know it's a 9 hour drive but you can come here, I can go there or we can meet in the middle for dinner but before I let myself like you I need to make sure you don't smell bad, chew funny or just plain irritate me. Let's figure this out. "
Two weeks later he drove to Ohio from Va and we went on a first date to a festival near me (one of my favorite events of the whole year) He spent the weekend in town and I was in love. I knew he was the one immediately and he confirmed it by waiting two days to even try to kiss me because he never wanted me to look back and think that he drove out for some action. We drove back and forth every other weekend for a while and he proposed in December, January and then finally in March we were engaged for real. Wedding in July and he moved here right after....thank goodness! We put a LOT of miles on our vehicles! ha

We met at work.

We met in college in the Rathskeller, they had bars on campus back then, he says I picked him up, I say he picked me up...we went to an all night party. We have been together ever since and have been married 44 years.
