These are fun, and I really enjoyed reading them! I will share how I met my DH.

I was 18 and started my first year at UNT (univ of North Texas) and I just moved there from a small town in West Texas. I knew no one. My one any olny friend (met her on the first day of class) was way older then me (she was 35) asked if I wanted to go out with her and some of her friends. Knowing no one, I went. Well, her boyfriend and one of his friends showed up where we were, and we all hung out. I could not stand her boyfriends friend, Joe. (my DH) He was annoying and got on my nerves. He was also married and just down for the weekend, and soon would be heading back to Lubbock. I did not think anything of it. Well, a year later, at my friends wedding, guess who was there...JOE, and he was now seperated. He still got on my nerves, and just would not shut up. he would talk about stupid things. He asked me out, I said No, and that was it. Well, on Jan 2002, I get this e mail from Joe. (my friend was kind enough to share that info with him...lol) He said that he now lived in Wichita Falls Texas, and was single and a jet engine mech blah blah blah, and left his number. At this time I was living back in my home town, and called him b/c I had nothing else to do. We hit it off...We talked for 9 hours on the phone, and I made planS to go and met him for the weekend. I came up, and things went GREAT! So great that I moved in with him a month later. (as 'roommates' and to help him out with bills and things) We became best friends, and he asked me to marry him on May of 2004, and we just put it off till I finished school. Our org wedding date was for Sat Sept 16, 2006, but we found out that we were preg on June 22, 2006, so we married on June 27, 2006. Married for 2.5 months dating for 4 years...I love this man, and he is not that annoying any more. Come to find out, he just talked a lot because he was nervous about meeting me. He knew that I was 'the one' from the min that he laid eyes on me. He also was scared because he was 15 years older than me, he did not know what I would think about that. We are still best friends, and still spend HOURS talking to eachother, it is still like the first time that we talked on the phone again. LOL!

Thats our story! Sorry so long!

My story isn't very long or dramatic.

I was dating DH's best friend at the time. We hung out a lot, the three of us. When DH met me he had a huge crush on me and always told me while I was dating his friend. When the friend broke up with me, I called up DH to have someone to sob to, and we talked for hours. Something clicked and we've been in love ever since!

I can't beleive i just found this. All your stories are great. I'll take my turn now.

I was dating my dh's best friend when we meet. My bf (at that time) and I had tried to set him with some of my friends and he just wasn't really interested so we would hang out with him. Then in 2003 my ex was killed in a car accident. My dh gave me time to grieve and he needed his time. So I didn't talk to him for 2 months after the accident. Well then out of the blue he calls and we've been going strong ever since.

These are fun to read!!

Wright ~ All I can say is Wow! That has got to be hard and yet wonderful that you both could connect.


My DH met thought work. He was in Vancouver, CA and I was in Seattle about 2 hours apart. He was working for a company that was contracted by my company to do software development in Canada. Those Canadians charge less for labor. One of my jobs was to move over the software project I was working on to the contract team. My DH would talk on the phone and I had a secret crush. One day I sent my spy in, he traveled to Vancouver every Wednesday to meet with the Canadian team. I asked him to find out if my DH was single, how old and if he had a college education. He ended up being single so I went in for my move. We traded a few hundred emails. Then we started chatting on IM. We traded pictures and a few months later we ended up meeting for our first date. Two years later we were married and we just celebrated our second anniversary.

I really think I shared my story somewhere before, but I didn't see it in this thread.

I met my DH my freshman year of college. He was a senior and was a friend of my older brother. I was dating someone else then. The next year the night before my brother's superbowl party DH came in from Charlotte to hang out with his old college buddies. We all went bowling. I have been trying hardcore to get DH to notice me before that night. So, when we got there I told my friend I give up.. I am not flirting with him any more. Then, he started coming after me. That night we stood in the parking lot at my bro's apt. complex and talked until the sun came up. DH drove me to a spot where you could see the sunrise over the lake. We had our first kiss. Then he didn't call me for 3 weeks. I was devestated. My bro was sick of hearing me whine about it so he called DH and said "If I could choose any of my friends to marry my sister it would be you" DH told him that he hadn't called bc he didn't want to jeopardize his friendship with my bro since he had the friendship first. That was March 2002. We got engaged in Jan. 2004 and Married in Oct. 2004. Now we have been married for almost 3 years. I am a lucky girl!

well my story is kind of confusing so here it goes

i was 12 he was 16 working at the local hannaford. my mother at the time worked there with him. i happened to tell my mother one day that i thought he was cute...so infront of everyone after we checkout she had mentioned to adam that i liked him...boy my face was redder than an apple! i ran out of the store.

after i finally was able to talk to him bymyself i was 13 and he was 17. i would always go into the store to buy a "pack of gum" but ended up searching the store for him. one day his friend gave me his number and we just talked over the phone. i was maddly inlove at the age of 13! of course it would never work out, i was in middle school and him facing the end of highschool.

well he left for the army after his sr. year and i was devistated, never thought id see him again, until(i was 15, he was 19) i was randomly searching names over aim and found his and he happened to be on...well i went back to find out his address and it had magically disapearred?!...weird

we talked over several online converstations about how hje got medically discharged after being based in italy for a year over breaking his back. we decided to hang out...well hang out turned into dating and we dated for 3 months until he was upset over being picked on for robbing the cradle, so we broke up. he said when i turned 16 we could get back together, but after what had been going on a couple months after the break up i thought it would never happen.

i get a call at 6am on my birthday, it was him saying happy birthday! then about a week later we officially started dating again.(16 then, he was 20)

a little less then a year later we got pregnant and ufourtunaly losses it. we had gotten engaged(2005) then in september 2006 we tied the knot and are perfectly happy! we plan on being together forever and so far no huge bumps or setbacks! this year will be our 1st year anniversary celebrating our marriage. and christmas eve of 07 will be 4 years together!

sorry guys it was so long...but i dont think there was a way to shorten it without leaving out good details

Ok, well, I have quite an interesting but long story about how I met DH. I was dating this guy Matt, for 3 years (1995 to 199. He decided in college that he was gay (after we broke up). Well, he worked at Toys R Us through HS and college and this new guy, Eric, started there during that time (in 1999). I thought he was hot and we all became friends. Eric and I became closer friends and we hung out a lot. He had moved from Bedford to York to go to school. 3 of his high school friends also moved to York. They all got an apartment together. Well, one night I was hanging out with Eric at his place when I met Dan. He was sooo obnoxiously drunk with his friends (who I instantly didn't like). BTW, he was only 18. I was almost 21. Nothing happened at that time. I was seeing someone who I was madly in love with. About a year later, that guy went into the Navy. I was devastated, but about a week after he left, I was at Eric's and Dan was there. Eric went to bed and Dan and I sat up talking. We clicked this time around. I stayed there until 7 the next morning and we watched the sun come up. At that moment, I figured that since I was fully aware that Dan was a rebound thing, that nothing would come out of it but we had lots of fun together. That first night was September 28, 2000. In the middle of November, Dan moved to Lancaster County to be closer to his job. I moved in with him in April. We were engaged on December 31, 2002 and married June 5, 2004. Funny how things happen the way they do. BTW, Eric, also decided he was gay and dated my ex, Matt. Their other 2 roommates were a couple when they all moved to York. Pat turned out to be gay also, Lacy was very strange. As it turns out, Dan was the only normal person in that group....no wonder he was obnoxiously drunk everytime I saw him before we started dating. He was trying to escape his "REAL WORLD" experience. I know I probably left out some good parts, but this was getting way too long. Sorry, you get the point.

I was a junior in high school when I met my dh. My mom came home from work one day and said that there was this guy that worked with her that had saw my picture on her keychain. He said I was pretty and wanted to take me out that following Friday night. I just laughed it off at first. She said he was serious and told me to come meet him at her work the following day after school. So, I went and met him. At first I thought he was kind of crazy..lol
Well I decided to got out with him that Friday, but not before I made sure my bestfriend was going with me. I didn't really know him so I didn't want to be alone with him...kwim? So us three plus his bestfriend went off that night. I had a lot of fun. We became a couple a week later and the rest is history.

I meet DH on the first day of my sophomore year of high school in Biology class.
We started dating 3 months later, now it has been almost 14 yrs of marriage.

I met Joe my freshman year of highschool. We started dating (well, if that's what you want to call it....lol). He was my first boyfriend. I thought I was hot stuff, because he played football, and so as his girlfriend, I got to wear his letterman's jacket and extra jersey. lol We went to homecoming together, and while we were at the dance (yes, I said AT the dance.....) I broke up with him for someone else. (I didn't even wait until we left!) I know, I know, terrible of me......We managed to stay friends all through school though.

I started dating my ex husband my sophmore year, we got married in 99 and divorced in 04. I moved away in 06 and came back, just in time for a group of us to meet to discuss what we were going to do for our 10 year highschool reunion which was just last weekend. I got to the place where we were meeting, and about 20 minutes later, Joe walked in. I was completely taken aback at how wonderful he looked. He and I ended up staying about 2 hours after everyone else had left, just talking and catching up on each other's lives. I told him about my divorce, he told me about his, and he asked me if I wanted to hang out with him and some of his friends from work the following Thursday (this was Sunday).

Monday he came to see me at work, then he came over after he got off of work that night, and we stayed outside talking until like 6:30 in the morning. As he was getting ready to go home (he lived about 30 minutes from me at the time) he kissed me the sweetest, softest, most passionate kiss I think I've ever had in my entire life. We went out that Thursday, for dinner, a movie, drinking and dancing. It was wonderful.

We moved in together 4 months later, and are planning on tying the knot sometime next year possibly. May not be until 09, but.....we aren't in any big hurry, honestly. We lost our first baby Aug 1st, but we are trying again. He's my best friend, my lover, and the greatest man I could ever hope for.

I met my dh(Humberto) on my first day of work at a supermarket. He also worked there and he says that it was love at first sight for him. Not so much for me, my ex had just broken up with me and I didn't know if I wanted to worry about dating so soon. Over the next two weeks I changed my mind completely. At first I didn't even realize that he liked me even though there were a bunch of signs and things he did that proved otherwise, we talked on the phone every night, we went out to dinner and it was so amazing the way I felt with him, it was so surreal because no one had ever treated me like he did (and still does!) We shared our first kiss two weeks into our friendship, that first kiss was perfect! It is just how you'd imagine a first kiss...nowadays I remember that kiss and I fall in love with my dh all over again! On Sept.3, 2006 I was feeling a bit down so when he asked me out to go dancing I just didn't feel up to it so I turned him down but later that night he called me and we talked on the phone, at 3:30 in the morning he asked me to be his girlfriend, the next day was my birthday so he gave me my present a couple of hours early!
4 months later we found out that I was pregnant and we decided to move in together, unfortunately a week later I had a miscarriage but now almost 10 months later we got married on my birthday and decided that nows the time to try and conceive a little bundle of joy!

We met at my old job , it was a lease to own place , and he came in with some friends of mine - Dan ( one of my friends) works at a bar in town , and anyways his wife & him came into the store one day with Robert , and he said he was intrested in a laptop , so I show him all the ones we carry , go over prices , and figured he would be getting it that day , but he wanted to wait and think on it , so I gave him an application and sent him on his way , and on the way out told Dan , I would see him at the bar on the weekend , well Robert pipes up " Good , I'll see you too" - didnt know he was a new bouncer at the bar.....so on the weekend I went to the bar secretly to see him but would never admit it , and he was at the door , got all cute and shy and said hello.....and then for the majority of the night he kept coming up into the smoke room where me and some girlfriends were to make small talk and what not.....later in the week he came back in - me again thinking he wanted to get the laptop , but instead he wanted my "help" to fill out his application.....he came back in a week later , this time YES he got the laptop and also asked me out for coffee....I said no......I was being stupid and thought I would play kind of hard to get .....when the laptop got delivered , he asked me out again....and again...said No......2 days later he came into the store claiming that the laptop " wouldnt charge" and asked me out again....this time I said yes.....I went out to his house the following night to watch a movie.....and we ended up talking for almost 6 hours about our lives and what not.....I went home , woke up my roomate and told her that he was my one , and we've been together ever since!!!!.....haha and the laptop was never broken :P It miracously fixed itself apparently :P

I was just reading through these again

It's nice to know how everyone met their Dh's.

Well this guy I knew wanted to go out one night(January 2007) but was carless so for w/e reason he comes with his friend to pick me up. The guy and I really had no interest in eachother but we wanted to get drunk so it worked. Well DH was the friend and designated driver(great since he was like a month outta rehab) and while me and Kris were being goofballs this dude was flirting with me. Well I was just like whatever and just thought he was some perv. Later that night I think I was very drunk and may have peed in his bathtub(we still aren't sure). I should probably point out at this point I was in a rather screwed up time of my life. Anyways for some reason this guy liked me and got my AIM screenname and I just ignored his attempts forever and eventually it pissed him off pretty bad.

well fastforward a few months and i move back into my moms house after a short uh.... flammable relationship. Well this weirdo starts messaging me AGAIN(april 29th 2007). All I was much interested at the time was partying but he offered to take me to a movie and their aren't too many places to go at 17 on a thursday so I went. Somehow in the course of Pirates of the Carribean 3 he grew on me. The next day I cut school and he cut his morning classes to come get me. We walked around downtown and it was really nice. This guy seemed like he really understood. He just couldn't get why I was so stupid sometimes. Well... After that we were inseparable. By August we moved in together and we got married on March 8,2008.

Somewhere in all of this he convinced me that I was smarter than valium and liquor. I'm pretty sure i'd be FAR more strung out on god knows what than I ever imagined. I'm glad he found me. I'm so so so glad....
