how did you and your partner meet?

wow, what a complicated story. But I am happy you got Chris and as long as you are happy, it doesn't matter what other people think.

Yeah, and we're very very happy
I'm still friends with my at the time best friend, but not on the same level before. And like I said, Croatian girl is a total manipulative bitch so I'm really glad I'm not friends with her anymore haha.

yeah, she sounds that way

Hmm, Hi guys! I'm new and I'm kind of bored right now... I'm enjoying this thread!
Hope it's okay that I butt into your "chit chat"...? You're probably all friends already and I'm awkwardly joining the circle, making everyone clear their throats and shuffle their feet. But oh well... I'd like to share my story

I met my Husband on my very first day out of home (actually within a couple of hours!)

My mum dropped me off at my new house in the small town where I went to University (only a couple of hours away from "home"). It was pretty teary drive... Anyway, the girls who I moved in with decided to sneak me into a couple of the pubs to celebrate with some of their friends (I was only 17, in Australia the legal age is 18).

There I met this much older, heavily tattooed and "strangely" pierced man (has a flesh tunnel in his ear about 1 and a half inches wide). He was the complete opposite to my mousy, privately/Christian-schooled, very "clean-cut" personality. You all know the drill. There was a spark! Actually, most of their friends fit his "mould" more than mine... I was quite the misfit.

Anyway. I drank fairly heavily under the encouragement of my new housemates and their friends and we all went back to our house at closing time. Nothing happened that night even though out of lack of space, I let him stay in my bed that night. Poor guy - I made him sleep in his jeans - how uncomfortable!

There was definite chemistry! Not much sleep, and strangely enough, no touching or even talking really. Just both of us aware of the others presence. That was it. No exchange of numbers or anything, and just one sweet kiss the next morning.

My first day at Uni, and I'm lining up for the Orientation Tour, and who is the Tour Guide?! That's right, it's Raul. He was the Volunteer Coordinater, but promplty ditched his duties to "tune" me (as put by the others on the team who noticed his absence that day). (I never did get shown around campus that day!) Our first date was that night, we went to the movies and saw "Black Hawk Down" how romantic! Our next date was much more beautiful; dinner, followed by a bottle of wine on one of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast of Australia (Ballina) at twighlight. We've been going between the two extremes ever since.

And we were hardly apart after that! Married in our fifth year together (last year) and expecting our first baby in 9 weeks time! Sometimes it just fits!

awww that is a sweet story chelley! Welcome aboard the family of co&k

That is the coolest stor ever chelleylane! Congrats!

Thanks! You know I "stumbled" here (using StumbleUpon). Best. Stumble. Ever!

My boyfriend and I met through work.

I was job hunting, and I stopped into his music store to drop off a resume. He took my resume, and we chatted a little bit. I thought he was pretty cute, but nothing really came of it.

I got hired at a book store two stores down from his, and on my break, I'd head into Music World to check out their metal section. I was looking for a particular album, and I didn't see it. And then there he was. He asked me if I needed anything, and I asked if they carried it. He said no, but he'd check into it. My break was almost over after that, so I went back to work.

Well, not even twenty minutes later, he comes into my store. I was in the middle of a customer rush, so he stood at the back of the line and waited for twenty minutes to tell me that he special ordered it for me. I thought it was pretty sweet.

A few weeks later, I went to pick it up, and he told me he'd already paid for it. So I told him I'd take him out for coffee at the end of our shifts instead. And it just sort of took off from there. We started hanging out more often, and then one night, after walking me home from work, I just kissed him. It was my first real kiss, and I hadn't realized I'd done it until after, and I saw the look on his face. Then I got all embarassed and ran inside.

My 'adopted' sister (I was staying with friends at the time) told me the look on his face was because he was trying not to laugh. I was so freaked out. It wasn't until months later that I told him what she'd said, and that he told me it was the cutest thing I could have done. xD When I saw him again, we were pretty much like a new couple.

And here we are now, living together (not by our own choice mind you, but we're still happy), and celebrating 11 months today. ^^;;

hey Chelley that was a cute story. Welcome to our chat

Mines a bit silly;
I met my hubby in the winter during a snowstorm. I had gotten home from work at 2 a.m. and the walkway of my apartment bldg. was not shoveled again. I got the snow shovel out and started shoveling the walk. I had gotten to the stairs when he came up behind me and got hit in the face with a shovelful of snow. I said I was sorry. He laughed and said it was okay. He helped me finish and we went in to our apts. A few days later he invited me down to dinner and we saw each other a year before getting married.

thats a great story

We should make a little book of our stories. (=

we should, who wants to do it?

I can make the cover!

I'm totally for it. Maybe we could do like they are doing in another thread, where we send out a notebook and we can send it to each other and write our storie with a pic of our honey's. The only problem, what to do with it when its done?

okay with a bit of encouragment from my bestie Tara I shall share my story on how I met my hubby. lol

Well I had just got out of a sour marriage and Lillian just turned one. My best friend Jen finally talked me into getting out of the house and having my folks watch Lilly. We were sitting at her house just bs'ing and she told me she was bored and talked me into going to a porn shop. The suggestion was made after she had a mystrery call on her cell. I didnt think of it much so we hopped in my car and went to the the shop. We got out of the car and we were approaced by a guy. I looked at her when she said hi and started talking to him as if she knew him and she introduced us. The whole time I was thinking "oh my gawd she is trying to set me up with this guy." I was grossed out by him. He had scruffy hair, kinda heavy set, stocky and all in all he looked like a dwarf from lord of the rings.

Well two weeks later she asked me to come over and stay the night since lillian was staying at her fathers for the weekend. I go over and she said we are going to the club. She knew I couldnt drive at night and said dont worry I found someone who will drive us. We were waiting outside her house when the car pulled up. It was HIS car. I looked at her with a disapproving look. But as soon as he walked out of his car I swear it was not the same funny dwarf that we saw at the porn shop. He had shaven, smelled good, got a hair cut and the sweater he was in framed out pretty well. I saw him for the first time in a new light and was like *drewl*!

We get to the club and after a few rum and cokes we were talking and hitting it off. Then it was time to go. My friend asked us to drop her off at her boyfriends who just got off the late shift. Which left me with Matthew by myself. I was going to ask him to take me home but I didnt want to come home and have my mom nag at me for being drunk.

So we went to his place....nuff said...and we are still together..going on six years soon.

On another note. He says we met while I was married only once and I dont remember him persay but He and Jen picked me up to go to her house for me to do her tarot reading. He says that when he first met me he knew he would be with me forever and it was love at first site. He knew I was married at the time and when he found out that I wasnt anymore that is when the plan unfolded with Jen's help. lol
