Chris and I met in a little pub in Hagerstown, Maryland called the corner pub! I was on a girly night out with my step mum and all of her friends and I got chatting to him at the bar... We ended up dragging him to a gay bar! :lol: :lol: He got my phone number at the end of the night, called me the next morning and that was it! I ended up staying in America for 3 months :wub:

It was really quite odd though... He had been living in Texas for the summer with his sister and had only arrived back in Maryland the day that my flight landed.... (2 days before we met!)

I think it was fate personally :wub:

Well I already said that we met in Brazil. To be exact, we met at a party.

My neighbor and a couple of her friends took me out to the party, and he was there. I was instantly attracted to him!

We danced all night and at the end of the night we exchanged phone numbers. I never thought he'd call. But he did, MANY times the next day - we met a couple nights after the initial meeting and the rest is history.

We've been together for 3 years and 4 days.
