When I met my love, I was...

[MHandMB 0]

I was single, but had kind of a ping-pong relationship with my ex-boyfriend where we would kind of go out every now and then, but we weren't together. I wasn't really looking for anything. I had just graduated from college, and was on a month-long trek in Europe. It was my first time abroad, and my first time travelling solo. I met my honey in a store where he was working. We chatted a while, and he invited me out. I was a little nervous since I was by myself in a foreign country, so I politely declined. I was 1/2 way to the metro stop when I thought, "why not? I'm in Paris, the most romantic city in the world, and a cute guy wants to take me out." So, I walked back by, pretending to be looking at something next door to his shop, and he came outside and chit-chatted with me some more. He asked me out again, and this time I said yes.

I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't turned back around that night? My life would be totally different now.

Met my guy on a christian chat site just needed a prayer partner! JESUS only knew that my prayer partner would be becoming my soon to be life partner! And the rest is history!

This was actually funny.

I met her first when she interiewed me and then she became my boss. We started disliking each other on a professional basis first, and then, as we became comfortable with each other work-wise, we became friends and then the rest......Definetly single and not looking at all.....I broke my life-long vow, no dating in the office

I had been single for a few months and when I met Anghel I wasn't looking at all and wasn't even interested in having a relationship. He was nice though so we talked a lot and then after about a month or so I started to realize I was falling for him.

Me in a 7 years painful relationship.

Him in a 7 years painful wedding.

Both playing a game to have a little getaway from our sad and boring lives....played together for a year and then I said bye bye to my ex and he did the same.

We dont regret any of this, couldnt have wish for a better life.

I was looking for friends and went on a UK chat site and met this rather pompous annoying man trying to act all cool to the girls. I teased him for a bit and tried to pop his ego, but somewhere in the midst of trying to be Miss Smart/Cool Independent Single Gal I fell head over heels for this slightly cocky British man who turned out to be rather sweet and real. I can't imagine ever finding anyone more wonderful than him. He truly is my other half.

So my question to you all, whether if it was your fiance/e or husband/wife that was joining you in the states, the week before they got here, were you cool & relaxed anticipating their arrival with no worries? Or were you a total wreck and stressed and so worried that something was going to happen to ruin everything and that last week just dragged on forever and ever?

I always deemed myself an optimist but I've always been dealt bad cards in the relationship department. I get the extreme high only to fall abruptly off the cliff once I reach the apex. I have always been a worrier and I am feeling it full force right now this last week. Is it just me? Or did any of you fret to high heavens before your fiance/e or wife or husbands arrival? I know I just need to take a deep breathe and relax. I miss him more now this last week than I ever had during the longest time that we were apart....

I had been trying online dating off and on for almost 2 years, and had just gone on a really nice trip with a grilfriend during which I had decided I enjoyed being on my own surrounded by good friends and didn't want to date. I decided to pull my ad. Lo and behold, when I got home and went to pull it, there was this email from someone who seemed interesting....

I had signed up for an internet site and hadn't met anyone worth dating. One day, I was bored and I thought "I'm paying for the site, maybe I'll just see who's out there in other countries." So I was browsing profiles and saw HIS. I sent a message. I was discouraged because he didn't reply right away (turns out he didn't check his e-mail regularly). But once he replied . . . . . We talk to each other almost every day and have been together for a year.

He was in a bad relationship, waiting for the right time to break up. ( and i only found out about her after months of being just friends with him online)

ME and him were just friends and coudln't even imagine of anything else especially with this long distance. I was single but had a crush on someone else

And then he blinded me with his love

Dammit! Every time I see this thread, I can't get the stupid song out of my head.

When I met my love, I was... petrified.

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
