I am bored so here is a question

Re: I am bored so here is a question

  • We met in 2003.  I was working at Goodwill during college.  He walked in for an application because one of his friends was working there.  My friend and I looked at each other like ZOMG huge muscles, and ran the app to the manager, told her of the hotness and demand he be hired.

    Turns out, I was dating one of his best friend's older brother.  But he picked me up from work on his motorcycle one day (because I just wanted to ride on a motorcycle, obvs).  Then he drove me right through the drive-thru where my boyfriend was working (these are regional, like a drive through convenience store, you actually go in).  I was mortified and knew I was in trouble.  I couldn't even look at the poor guy.

    And we have been inseparable ever since.  Oh, he also had a gf at the time.  That didn't last long either. 

    Shot first, questions later.
  • We met online. He was deployed to Afghanistan, but stationed in the DC area where I lived. We traded daily emails and talked once a week for about three months before he redeployed (he also sent me flowers at work, which was the talk of the office, and earned him the nickname Afghana-Man). At the end of our first date, I knew he was "the one". We were engaged six months later and JOP'd 24 days after he proposed. He was coming down on orders to Fort Irwin, CA, so we took the plunge. Our sixth (married) anniversary is a month from today!

    ETA: Yes, I knew it would last/work out. I was 34 when we met, and he was 32. Despite our quick courtship, all of our family and friends supported our marriage.

  • We met when we were in the same unit in Kentucky. I was actually into his friend but he was PCSing so I let him it. Him and I became friends and I became his shoulder to cry on after an ugly break up with his horrid ex. We started dating shortly after and I knew it would work when we were driving from Ft. Stewart to Savannah one night and we had conversations about marriage and kids and our future plans. I opened up to him about my daddy issues and knew I could tell him anything.

    It's been rough, we got married after being together for 9 months(ish) but here we are almost 4 years later.

  • We met at his friends' birthday party in college. I had gone with a friend who knew his group of friends. We stayed up all night talking and starting dating soon after.
