Where/How did you meet your S.O.?
Let's hear the story about how you met your current (or last) significant other.
For me, it was at work. She worked in the same building down stairs. Her boss got the ball rolling. I asked her to lunch and away we went... |

I met her in a bar. The twist is that I was the bartender. It was at the Elks lodge, and I aready knew her parents, who she was visiting. That was almost 20 years ago. Our 16th anniverary is next month.

Arranged marriage. Her mother and my father plotted, my father confronted her and got her phone number for me.
The way GOD intended it. |

The only one left on the street corner at 3 AM. That's what I get for closing down the bar.

Bar.
funny thing is, I never went to the bar by myself. I was usually invited by a co-worker or someone, but I was sitting home bored, and after 2 hours of trying to figure out what else I could be doing, I walked to the bar. fate, coincidence, or the devil's handywork? you decide. |

Met her in CFOT in one of UD's marvelous threads. (Which happened to be about Match.com)
Everyone was posting a link to their profile, and I posted mine. Next thing I knew, she was stalking me. |

I guess you would not call it "conventional" or "normal" but I met my girlfriend through BlackBerry Messenger.
She saw my username and a post made by me in a car section on CrackBerry.com. She added my PIN and we started chatting. We chatted/texted on the phone for 5 months before we did a face to face meet. I drove all the way to Tennessee to see here. We hung out for the weekend. I knew before hand I could not let her get away, I came back a month later (around Christmas) made things official and gave her a promise ring at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Knoxville to show her how serious I was. We've been dating a little over 3 months now and I cannot refute that we were two people made for each other and fate brought us together. |

Friendly advice: supplement fate with a solid pre-nup agreement. Don't take offense. I advise everyone to do it, even my best friend and my brother. |

We were driving in opposite directions and I blew her a kiss as we passed. She made a u-turn and flagged me down. Our first date was that night.
We've been married for 29 years. |
