Where did you meet your spouse?

Another stolen from MM because I'm bored out of my mind.

Re: Where did you meet your spouse?

  • in the lobby of our freshman dorm the second night of school. we sat in there and talked all night... until like 3am, he walked me back to my room and got caught by an RA for being on a girl's hall after visiting hours were over (1am) and got written up. it was kind of funny. 

    we went to lenoir rhyne college in hickory, nc.

  • H and I met in 2003 my freshman year outside of the UNF library.  I was way involved in student government and campaigning for my "party" (the red party TYVM) and handing out flyers and a mutual friend who was also in SG introduced us.  I don't know how this came up, but he told me he hadn't gone to the bathroom in days because he didn't want to buy more toilet paper.  Lovely.  I was 18 and he was 20.  We hung out pretty consistently after that.  I drove him home from his 21st birthday at TGIFridays about a month later.  Then a week after that was Halloween and I got sloshed at a frat party at Ocean Club and he "rescued" me and drove me home.  I was dressed as Monica Lewinsky and he was a pimp.  NICE.

    Yeah, we were a hot mess together for awhile.

  • I went on a date with his best friend to a house party in high school. Best friend had to go pick someone up who had a flat tire and I didn't know anyone else so DH kept me company. We hit it off right away.

  • My friend in college had me go with her to a birthday party for this guy she knew..it was in the apartment complex where I lived, so I thought, why not. I got introduced to my now H and we stayed up talking most of the night. He ended up sleeping over at my place. We have been together ever since!

  • We worked together at Seven Bridges.

  • At UF. It was the fall of 2002, second day of classes. While walking to class, I noticed that there was another guy who left from my apartment building and was like 20 steps in front of me the whole way. I was determined to make friends in my classes that semester, so I sat next to him and struck up a conversation. 

    He totally blew me off.

    So, I turned around and started chatting with the guy randomly sitting on the other side of me. He turned out to be my DH! We became really good friends, even roommates for a summer, but didn't date for several more years because I was with someone else at the time.

  • Wal-Mart.

    It was Fall 2004 and I was working in the Connection Center (cell phone dept) and Jason had just transferred to the Electronics Dept. He was planning a trip to Boston to celebrate his college graduation and he stopped to talk about Cingular's coverage. I thought he was cute and started chatting with him. We went on our first date October 29 and have been together since.

  • His BFF and my BFF went on a date and brought each of us as their wingman.  They are no longer together (and in fact hate each other).

  • I was bartending at Applebee's during my SR year at FSU. He was in Tallahassee for the probation officer academy. Him & his classmates came in & that's how we met. Actually, the guy that technically introduced us went on to tell me that he looked like his HS girlfriend..... Who was found dead in a dumpster Indifferent

    BUTTTTTTT.... I had met DH a week or so before, also while bartending at Applebee's. Him & one of his classmates were sitting at the bar, & the classmate started flirting with me. I blew him off. I didn't even notice DH cause he had longer hair & I am not a fan. It came to light later when I was telling the classmate that he looked SO FAMILIAR & I knew him from somewhere. He denied knowing me, but DH eventually told me the story.

  • We had a mutal friend Piet.  DH lived next door to Piet and Piet and I were friends on the same trivia team and I (and my ex) would always attend parties over at Piet's place for football games or whatever our group of friends was celebrating.  I knew Kelly for a couple of years before we started dating and we would chat when we would see each other at these parties.  Once I broke up with my ex, Kelly "stole" my phone number from Piet's phone and called me to chat and the rest is history.  Smile

  • We met at a dinner which his dad and stepmom invited my mom, sister and I to.  My mom was aquaintances with his dad and step.  They still claim they were not trying to set us up.

  • We met when we both worked at a credit union. I was new and working in the mortgage dept. He was auditing the mortgage dept. I bent over and I guess my shirt came up because he told me he liked my tattoo. I thought I was going to be in trouble for breaking dress code, but a girl I worked with told me he was hitting on me.  Later on when I was working in the HR dept, I had a horrible sunburn and he told me "You have a glow about you" or something corny like that. We started emailing and became friends with benefits. It was a year or so before we actually started dating.

  • At Twisted Martini downtown. My roomy at the time was a cheerleader for the hockey team that was here and we went out with some of friends after the game. They had a little stage and we were all dancing on it. He approached me and I started dancing. He handed me a card from his social club that he was running. I e-mailed him about a week later. We went on a date a few days later from that.

  • Through a mutual friend in high school, he picked her up to go to a party one night and also gave me a ride. We hit it off that night and we both broke up with the people we were dating for each other no more than a week later.

    Ditto! A car forum of all places. We were friends with benefits for a few months before he decided he wouldn't go to jail due to my age. It took months of discussion. Like dating would have made the difference in jail versus no jail time. Smart.guy.not

  • the internets. He had just left the college I was applying to, and he came across this uber-lame website I made as part of my supplemental application material that listed the schools to which I was applying. He left me a comment letting me know that he had gone there and that I could ask him if I had any questions about it.  We talked pretty much every day from then until we finally met when he came to campus almost a year later, spring of my Freshman year. Then long distance all though college. ::knife to temple::

  • My co-worker and I sat next to each other for about 4 years with low cublicle walls.  He heard all about the end of my 6yr relationship, my single phase, my bad relationships phase and my 'I'm never going to get married' phase.  He said he had the perfect guy for me...his best friend from high school.  Problem was this friend of his and I were both in relationships at the time so we never met.  Eight months later, the best friend got a job at our company and started working with us.  We broke up with our SO's and started dating two months later.

  • We met in an honors psych class during our second semester of college at UCF.

  • We had a mutual friend, Greg - he was in DH's fraternity and I knew him because we were in the same degree program at UNF.  When I graduated, DH mentioned to Greg that his company was hiring and Greg gave me his contact info - we met when I went in for the interview and worked together for about a year before we started dating (I was dating someone else at the time).

  • He went on a date with my best friend/sorority sister/college roommate.  They didn't hit it off, and we did.

    This! He saw pics I had posted with the university in the background, and struck up a conversation with "Excuse me, but was that pic taken in Presidential Courtyard?" given that he was in Seattle, it was enough to pique my interest, and we started chatting about UT, Vols football, and Knoxville in general. I wasn't looking for anything at the time (just ended a LTR not long before, with some serious baggage), but it turned that way quickly. We were married in a little over two months!
