How did you meet your partner or SO?

I believe it was in October. I was invited to a cast party for a play. She was there with her husband and I was introduced to them both. I had just had a baby two months before and it was actually the first time I'd been out socially since her birth. I even remember what I was wearing. I was a little shocked when she was introduced to me as her ex's wife as he had seemed to be talking and dancing and paying attention to every other woman in the room but her that night...I was confused. Her best friend was a friend of mine already and I remember laughing with them and thinking that my SO to be had a great sense of humor. I was happy to have met her. I joined the theatre group soon after that and we became good friends. Our friendship developed into something beautiful that took us both completely by surprise, we left our marriages behind and have been happily cohabitating for about 8 years. I love her so much.

online

We work together.

At church.

At a playground. But in theory, through a family member, because our parents are friends and they sort of forced us to play together.

I was walking down the street, and I slipped and he asked if I was okay. Then he asked if I wanted to go for coffee with him, and that was where I was going. We really hit it off, and it turned out that we actually have a lot of mutual friends, but had never met before.

That's not what god wants. You are against god!! lol

strike that...reverse it!

It's simple math.
god=love
Sue+Mandy=love
and if love=god
then
Sue+Mandy=god

see?

Now I know you don't believe in god

but I know you believe in love
*kiss*

Where do I fit in?

well my ex-boyfriend who I found out made a bad boyfriend but a good friend introduced us. and now my eX has a new squeeze and I have an awesome husband and we are all 4 great friends I could not have asked for a better outcome.

Other.

we met at work in new york. i moved to florida about a year and a half later and then a year after that she moved as well!!!

::laughing:: I met'er at a family function. I thought it was nice that she was already in the family without havin' to marry her.

I met ASB through a mutual friend. They dated for a long period of time. The first time I saw her I knew she was special. We are all good friends still.

very very very special lol

we met online

Whats so funny about me being special? Thanks for trying to help last night

special ED...hehe
and
no problem

I met mine online, but I recall trying to do a survey like this and people said that I couldn't, hmmm... besides, I don't think there are enough options here.

I don't have a SO.

I am not special in that way you silly goose. lol I am the unique kind of special

Actually, he was the one who found me

I don't know, she has kind of always been around. She was my sister's, friend's, sister. Then she was my old girlfriends good friend (a long long time ago). I guess through family members, and through friends, is a good way of putting it.

You're just jealous. Where have you been? Haven't seen you on here in a long time.

At work. I was temping for Architectural Digest magazine, and he was working in the art department there. I struck up a conversation with him, and he told me that he was going rock climbing. Thinking to myself, "Hey, this is one of those athletic boys," I totally lied and told him that I loved to run. I said, "Oh, I love to wake up early and just run run run all around the block."

He bought it, asked me out. I moved in with him. About a month later he asked me "Um, I thought you said you were a runner."

I said, "Oh please! I just said that to get you to ask me out!"

Five years later, we're still together, and we still love to tell that story.

lol Great story!

Oooo I am a taurus, & we met on the one day I have in my lifetime where all the planets were aligned in Taurus... May 3rd.

I was three days over 21 & was out at the bars with my friend and neighbor, while we were out I was asked to describe my perfect man and I said..."strong, buff, long blond hair, blue eyes, plays guitar WELL...."
When we got back to our apartment building I saw this guy who fit the description I gave earlier just sitting on another neighbors doorstep, stinking of weed, just sitting there with his doggie.
I plopped down next to him and just started talking, I wasn't really flirting with him... but I guess he thought I was...
For some reason he asked me what my last name was and I told him (it's a very common name) and he looked at me like that is such a common last name and I said "What? At least it's not _____ and then he looked more shocked and I guess _____ was his last name! Then I said "yeah right if _____ is your last name then your middle name is William" And it was!! Anyway I didn't go up to my apt. till about 3:30am or so (alone) he didn't ask for my # before I left either.
The next day while I was at work I got this silly call, it was him! Aaaww.... We've been dating for over a year now. The moment I met him I couldn't take him off my mind & I still can't.

So, I'm at a folk dance, where you tend to swap around partners between dances, and you rarely dance with the same person twice in the same night. And I'm just finishing up a dance with this really fantastic dancer (fun to look at, too) that I had never seen before. And this vaguely familiar woman comes up to us and says basically

'Hi, I don't know you guys, but you seem like a nice couple, and you dance really well, so would you like to come to my parents 50th wedding anniversary party? Its going to have dancing and we need people who can help the other guests who mayn't have ever danced before.'

So I turned to my partner and said, 'I guess I'd better get your name then.'

We were both involved in community theatre.

Hi stranger! Think you might stick around for awhile? And, by the way, where have you been hiding your wife? She seems to have disappeared since she got that new job. Busy, busy, busy?

busy as a bee How are you and the MIME...hope all is well!

*lick*

We're great! Umm...I'm not sure what that lick was all about. Maybe she's hungry.

I met him online in a chat room early June of 1996.

I'm a crafty one, all right!

it's my pheromones, some just find them irresistible

yup!
*lick lick lick lick lick*
*pause*
*CRUNCH!!!!!!*

Ooooppps!

sorry

it's purple now...damn it >

and if you wait a day or two...it'll be a lovely black and blue!!!

At work(collegue). I was leaning into our deli serveover, cleaning the windows, when he came up behind me and whacked my butt!
I'd had the most major crush on him, and he smacked MY butt! YaY

I don't exactly have an SO right now but my ex and I are trying to work things out so i'll tell yall how we met...
It was the first day of my fresman year of high school and I saw this really cute guy. I told some girls I had met and they decided to introduce us, so when they walked up with him... well, they brought over the wrong guy! I couldnt believe it. My cutie and I wound up talking anyway but it turned out he had a girlfriend and I had started dating the "wrong guy" my friends had introduced me too... so we were friends for two years. His best friend and my best friend were dating and they decided it would be cute to set us up because they both knew we had a major crush on eachother. Well, that night we went for a walk together and confessed our feelings... he kissed me and well... we were together for the next 2 years and after a year of being apart we're trying again. Hopefully it will work out this time!

If not, you can always fall back on me

aren't you and Hotbabe trying to work things out??

It's doubtful, she wants nothing more to do with me!!

I'm sorry to hear that sweetie! Try not to worry too much, everything happens for a reason.

Don't have sympathy on me. I ended it in the first place. Have sympathy on poor old hotbabe!

What do I need sympathy for?

Because you are miserable all the time. Or at least you come off that way. No offense intended

I just didn't want anyone feeling sorry for me because they shouldn't be!!

I don't want or need anyone feeling sorry for me either.

If you ended it then you should be happy... right??

I was hitchhiking & he picked me up.Few months later a friend & I are leaning over a railing at my apartment when I recognize this guy.I tell my friend "Hey I know him,he picked me up hitchhiking,his name is John."She says " No,his name is David!" I'm like "No,his name is John!" She leans out & yells down to him,& says "Hey,David."He looks up & says "What's up Sonny?" I yell down "Hey, you remember me? You picked me up hitchhiking a few months back?" He says "Yeah,I remember you,your Cleo."Yeah,but you told me your name was John,you lair!" "Why did you give me some bogus name?" "You wanted to rape me Huh??" Well,to make a long story shorter we ended up going with each other,got married & were together 29 years later.
