How did you meet your spouse or SO

Friday, April 25, 2003 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk


If you're married or dating, how did you meet them?

I met my wife back in 1992. We had two Electrical Engineering classes together and a EE lab. In the lab, I accidentally started a fire due to some...mistakes with my circuit. This got her attention.

Soon after we started studying together and became friends. A few weeks later, my roommate in college told me he was going to be moving in with an old friend of his who was transferring which meant I needed to find a place to live. But it was so late in the semester that it was looking like I'd end up being in a dorm room with some random freshman which I didn't want.

My friend (Debbie who would become my wife) said that she and her 3 friends (all girls) were renting a house next year and were looking for a 5th person. I'm a guy. LIve with 4 girls? Sure!

Eventually we got engaged and got married in 1994 and lived happily ever after.

I was working as a nuclear physicist at the jet propulsion lab in arizona. I was working late nights on a groundbreaking method for splitting atoms on a subatomic level using a laserlike device to bombard positively charged particles with plutonium ions. It was getting late and I was hungry, so I phoned for some pizza, when the pizza arrived, i was suprised to see a lovely young woman with eyes that wouldn't quit starring at me. She smiled at me and I suggested she could help me eat some pizza. After the pizza she pulled out a sheet of LSD and asked me if I wanted to trip with her, I reluctantly said yes (Remembering my party years at Harvard) and we tripped for the next 12 hours. During this supreme vision, i realized that she was my soulmate and 2 weeks later we married. I also realized that my work in the laboratory was about to possibly change life as we know it by providing mankind with a powerful set of tools that could either destroy the human race or provide knowledge that could make interstellar travel possible by accellerating a fusion drive propulsion system with a plutonium ion beam. Fearing the worst, I sabotoged the whole experiment by changing my mathmatical formulas on the computer and replacing the circuit board in the prototype with a circuit board I removed from a 15 year old pocket calculator. I told my colleagues that such a process is too dangerous to persue and that I nearly had caused a small nuclear holocost. My new wife and I are currently expanding our minds and tripping once a week, while looking for better ways to make our world a better place for all. We have just started a lucrative buisness selling chineese made bicycles in impoverished countries like south africa......Its been 5 long years now and we are still happy love pizza.......

I met my gf through a friend who said - 'You should meet my collage friend, shes just like you, but femail'.. finally, someone who could understand me, so one warm september day, (how did that happen) we went round to her house, by the time we got there it was rainind, and i didnt have a coat
we nocked, she opened the door, she had a recognisable look about here, as if I already knew her, like we had been friends all our lives, but of course i had never meat her in my like, she looked at me, and my mind went blank, thinking of nothing sles to say a just burst out and said 'Im wet', she just looked and said - 'Yes, yes you are', anyway we went inside, played videogames for a bit, I went home that night, and of course ended up back there the next night, watched the excorsist (great movie) we shared our first kiss, she said - 'well, you gunna ask me out then', I did, that was 2 1/2 happy years ago and i love her to peices. she, like me is a genuine child of the eighties, punk, electronica, transformers and he-man, what else could anyone want? - wackaday maybe?

I met my wife-to-be at school when I was 16... I was trying to chat up the girl she sat next to in English class so I guess not all of my considberable charm got wasted!

We've been together now 18 years (gee, more than half our lives), married 11, one 8 year old boy and 24 weeks before number 2 is due.

That sounds pretty cool MrHorseNZ.

I wonder, how many people met their future spouse after highschool and college? I wonder if it makes things more difficult.

My husband and I met at church. He was recovering from losing his first wife from cancer and I was recovering from a messy divorce. Pain shared is pain dissipated. We celebrated our 20th anniversary last March.

I was at a party. I didn't really know anyone there as I had gone there with a friend (a spare of the moment decision) and it was a different circle of people I didn't hang out with having the party. After a while I noticed a girl dancing away in the corner of the room by herself...I still to this day don't know what I was thinking, but I basically walked straight up to her and kissed her
11 Years later we're still very much together...

I orginally met him, at my closet friends wedding "he was the groom! (I was already married) 9 years later, she passed away. Was so terrible! So young. 2 years later, he invites us to a party, his first since he lost his wife, nearly two years. I was divorced, (that was terrble) , so we were uneasy about getting together, even tough we were old friends. 5 months later, we had our first (date) New Years eve, actually to avoid going to parties and being "fixed up" with blind dates, neither of us wanted to do that, so we planned to get together. 3 months later, madly in love got married and 14 years later, we are great! He helped me raise my children and then we had one of our own (he never had any)! He is wonderful and it has always seemed a little nice/strange to see our friends and they knew us, way back, married to other people. I was real close to his first wife's family and they ALL came to our wedding! So cool! You all might have heard of him on WC, bordfryer123. Best guy in the world! Sure hope that wasn't too confusing.....

Met my wife 6 years ago while chatting online with a few friends (ICQ kinda thing) that we had in common. We continued chatting for a number of months before we exchanged phone numbers. A few weeks later, in december 1996, I was taking the plane to Philadelphia to meet her. And right there at the airport, where she came to pick me up, Cupid stroke us with his arrow. I spent the weekend there, then flew back home to Montreal on the Sunday night. In January I asked her to marry me (while chatting online), she said yes, and on April 18th 1997 we were getting married in Montreal. Two and a half year later we had one beautiful boy, and two years after that another one. We just celebrated our 6 years of happy marriage.
Back then, marrying somebody you met online was a crazy thing.

Interesting subject.

In my case was really a surprise. I knew my wife since she was 12 ( I was 17 and alredy dating someone ) - as she was a friend of my sisters - and we became really close friends since them.

I continued dated with other girls ( my wife says that I was loosing time ) and I did not see my future wife for about 5 years.

One day, we met each other again...and 14 months after, we got married....18 years ago, 2 boys ago, a dog, 2 lovebirds and a happy family.
