This is dorkfire's fault. In the travelling thread, dorkfire posted a bit of romance: Which inspired me to find out your stories. How did you meet your love? Any entertaining, romantic, strange stories on this subject? Post them here.

i met my girlfriend at my work (at the YMCA) my co workers (jokingly) called me slide b***h cuz i wassnt a real life guard. she called me the light at the end of the flume tunnel (she told that to my boss and i got a small raise ) aha anyways we just started chilling alot over the summer and it took no effort for conversation or anythin and it just kicked off from there. (6 monthes so far and no signs of slowing down).

and well about her. shes really smart. but not ugly. she is into politics and catholisism as well as sports and other things. shes the only one i know in my school who cares enough about the world to beat me in a debate. shes fun to talk to and a really unique person

/love
(sorry)

i really wish you could all meet her.

Other? What other? There is no other.

What's that supposed to mean? :-P

well i didnt want to brag and say absolutly the hottest thing to walk the face of the earth but you know the myth:

either smart or pretty not both.

I'd love to hear one of your debates - you guys seem to have interesting interests and strong opinions ...

I met my wife at work. She walked past the office I was in and I was like "Daaaaaamn." And then I watched her shake that ass down the hall.

Yeah, I'm a real romantic.

Anyway, Christmas time came around and I told her that I needed to do some Christmas shopping for my younger cousins and got all weirded out in toy stores, being an adult and all. I told her I didn't want the kids to think there was no Santa Clause.

So she went with me and we had a pretty good time. We got a little high and went to a record store where-in she thought one of the guys there attempted to rape her once, but she wasn't sure. So I lured him over to her general vecinity, ready to pound the s**t out of him. And she was all like "No, wait... That's not him." So I acted like I found the CD I was looking for and thanked him for his time.

Man, she got stupid when she smoked bud. I'm glad she quit, it was a whole new level of frustrating stupidity.

We tried to get married three times in an eight year period. The first time, we had racked up some credit card bills that needed to be paid off before we took on an expense like that. The second time my car blew up in one of those huge explosions that you only see in the movies. The third time the company I worked for closed down.

Finally, last year, we were able to put the money together and get it over with.

You're just begging for hugs, aren't you?

All my significant others are imaginary. Sigh . . . .

Aw, coming from someone whose av is an imaginary critter this means so much.

Trust me, I've found life easier this way.

Always, poopsie.

Enough with the hugfest, geez. Pretty soon we're going to be reading:
"I left my first wife for the true love of my life - an interesting and witty Plimp. Our repartee of silly comments led to digital hugs and private inside jokes. Soon we were completing each others' Almost Neverending Stories..."

Well I was going to tell ya'll where I met my wife but then I read gnikgnok's comment and, yeah, forget it. lol.

Dork? Get your woman to join Plime. Then we could meet her.

Uhm... We haven't met yet. But sounds like there are some interesting things. Next time I'm sitting next to a weird old lady on a plane, I'll be sure to strike up a conversation!

And I work at the university I go to, so well you never know, it might be someone from 'work'.

We shared the same senior english class, but didn't know it untill the second semester because we sat opposite to each other. Well since I was getting kind of lonely (I was forever single) I filled out one of those lame school lovematch quizes and his last name was on my match list...

Afterwards I started talking to him and we hit it off. Wasn't till later that I found out my list was talking about a different moore :)

I met him in year 6 (last year of primary school) when I changed school. We were in the same class and the teacher sat the students boy, girl, boy, girl. I was next to him and didn't get along with him. One afternoon when the class was waiting for the bell to go home, we were having our little disagreement with something and the teacher said to us, the more we fight, the more we would love each other. That was an icky thought then.

End of year 6 I went to the high school across the road he went to wherever. Mid way through high school I saw him at my school and I remembered who he is and first word I said to him was d*ckhead (learnt some colourful words in high school). He then enrolled at my high school and was in some of my classes. I never talk to him although he was friends with my friends and they talk. My friends always teased me about him, that I was going to marry him one day etc. Eventually we started talking a bit.

Sometime in year 10 or 11 my group of friends and others were playing water fights at school during the summmer. He wet me with a bottle of yellowish water that he mixed a bit of Coke with but told everyone that it was piss so I was angry. Went into the girls toilet to wash, he followed and kissed me on my cheek. I was furioused and stopped talking to him.

My friend was being the messenger and tried to get me to forgive him. I said I'll forgive if he cut short his long silky hair that was envied and praised by many girls at school. So he did but I still didn't talk to him. Then I felt guilty so my friend gave me his home number to call and talk to him, which I did. From that day on we talked on the phone everyday after school. After a while he asked me out.

Almost 10 years later I'm still with him now and he's the only boyfriend I've ever dated.

My husband and I knew each other as aquaintances for 4 years before we started dating. We had mutual friends and saw each other rarely (maybe a few times a year). Then one day it was like, !!BAM!!... suddenly we saw each other in a completely different light. We went from friends-of-friends to inseperable in less than one week.
Our mutual friends were all like, "Oh, I never would have thought of you two together... but now that I think about it, you guys are perfect!"
After six years of dating (incl. 3 cohabitating) we were married last October. :)

Keep talking, I'm taking notes
(yes, I'm sad and lonely too <sigh>)

Mail order bride.



Actually, we were pen-pals during Desert Storm. We wrote to each other for almost a year before we ever met.

We dated for about 10 months and got married. We will be celebrating our 15th anniversary in June. (Assuming she doesn't dump me by then)
