For me, I met my wife ten years ago. She was dating a mutual aquinatance and we always flirted with each other.
I was at a bbq at my bosses house talking to some of the people there when it was time to eat I didn't realize it was a bring your own steaks bbq. I had been talking to this couple for about half an hour when she said you should really meet my daughter. Un beknownst to me she had called her daughter to stop over. When she walked in we both just kind of laughed. I always tell people my wife's parents fed me steak and beer to marry their daughter. What can I say I have a cheap price tag.
What's your story? Are you single, married, devorced, etc. and why?

Star tagged me on another thread, so I'm safe right now.
I met my wife while doing a show, I was in the cast and she was the drummer. We dated for a summer, and I got REAL stupid and I dumped her. "Grass is greener" syndrome. Anyways, 2 years later she invites me to a party she's throwing just to be nice, figuring I won't show up. Well, I did show up, we got to talking, couldn't remember what caused the split, and we got back together. Some dating, a proposal, a marriage, 2 kids, 3 mortgages, 5 pets, and here we are!
I was currently in a long distance relationship when I met my husband. I used to go to this cafe where the men greatly outnumbered the women, and most of the men were single and obviously desperate. I think I heard every line in the book there, but the music and coffee was good. And then one day, one of the guys who sometimes worked behind the counter came over to talk to me. I thought, oh no, here we go again. But instead, we had a decent, intelligent conversation. Then, the next time I came in, he came over again, and we had another pleasant conversation. So then I started going over and talking to him. We were friends for the longest time before we did anything, even though everyone else thought we were dating since we spent so much time together. Later, my boyfriend and I split up, and I hooked up with my husband not long after.
You know the saying, love the one you're with. You are guys are stuck with me.
If I were 8 feet tall, I would be making a ton of money playing basketball or something. And I assure you I do not have a ton of money. Actually, I think the last time I checked I may be poor. I am house poor just like much of the US. Oh well.

Don't worry, I'm poor too. I feel for ya, Confuzzed. I remember being single in high school and being jealous of all my friends who were in relationships. Now that I look back, even though I've haven't had as many relationships, mine have been much healthier and I've been much happier. Plus, what happens if you meet the man of your dreams and you're dating some other guy?
The River by Bruce Springstein best describes my attempt at marraige, and yes , her name was Mary. A few live ins since . now , I don't even try, I wouldn't be doing anyone any favors , to many problems and at my age what would be the point of it.
that is my favorite *&(*#$in song in the whole world.
IIIIIII.... come from down in the valley where mister when you’re young They bring you up to do like your daddy done Me and mary we met in high school when she was just seventeen We’d ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green
We’d go down to the river And into the river we’d dive Oh down to the river we’d ride
Then I got mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote And for my nineteen birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle No flowers no wedding dress That night we went down to the river And into the river we’d dive On down to the river we did ride
I got a job working construction for the johnstown company But lately there ain’t been much work on account of the economy Now all them things that seemed so important Well mister they vanished right into the air Now I just act like I don’t remember, mary acts like she don’t care But I remember us riding in my brother’s car Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir At night on them banks I’d lie awake And pull her close just to feel each breath she’d take Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse Is a dream a lie if it don’t come true Or is it something worse that sends me Down to the river though I know the river is dry Down to the river, my baby and i Oh down to the river we ride
Dave obviously hit a nerve with JD! Well I feel all of you guys pain. I was born an a**hole magnet. My relationship right now is on a bad path, but it started out good... we'll see.
For me, my husband has the ultimate story. I was a 28 yr old, single mother, working and going to school full time. I went to college in downtown Charleston, so I had to park in a garage and walk a few blocks to get to class. I had a boyfriend for two years at this point that would not commit. Everyday I would pass this restaurant that was being built and the construction workers would whistle at me. Well my husband was their supervisor. He would smile and eventually he apologized for his crew acting like men. Then we started saying good morning. Well it was the last day of classes and the restaurant was about finished. I got mad at my boyfriend, so I wrote my name and number on a piece of paper. I walked back from my last exam and walked right into the construction site. My husband was talking with the owner, but quickly came to see what I needed. I handed him my number, to everyone's delight on the jobsite, and told him that if he was single, he should call me. Well he did and here we are. I was really hoping that my boyfriend would get jealous and come back to me ready to commit. Oh well, my husband was not even disappointed that I was 28, not 21 like he thought!
I think I've told mine before, but here goes . . .
When I was a JR in high school, (way back in '83) there was a girl that liked me in a way I didn't like her. At a Valentine's dance, this girl would not leave me alone. My now wife, (then just friends) knew of the problem and decided to help me out by keeping me dancing with her all night. We had a really good time and started dating after that night. We stayed together and got married five years later . . . In about a week, it will 18 years ago we got married.
