Where did you meet your SO?

[Marilyn. 340]

I met my hubby online in a MSN chatroom called "Soft and Gentle" (get your mind out of the gutter people ... it was named after the 2 people who created the room, Soft Southern and Gentle Giant)

It was about the 3rd chatroom I tried and I ended up staying for a long time.... I met my hubby about a month or so after joining the chatroom.....

Hubby said he usually only hung out in sports type chatrooms but he was bored one day and decided to try a different chatroom.. he did a search and "Soft and Gentle" came up and he liked the name and decided to pop in....

I think we joined around the same time but we were never in the room at the same time and then when I first started noticing him... I thought he was the biggest brat.... There were actually 2 guys that were really bratty but they never were in the room at the same time.... I found out a few weeks later that they were in fact the same guy.... my darling hubby liked to mess with people so he had two names he would sign in with

then around Valentine's day ( a few weeks after first meeting him), he sent me a Valentine's E-card that had cats on it and the card said something like..."i know you like cats"

I was like woah, he actually remembered stuff I said... we started talking more and more and we progressed to phone calls and we met face to face about 8 months later and it was love at first sight...

the rest is history... we have been together now for about 5 years...

Online...

But then we met in Miami about 3 months later...

We spent a week there and when I was leaving I thought I'd never see him again...

But little did I know... that he did want to see more of me...LOL

I love my hubby!!

It is interesting that almost as many people met in person first, as those meeting online!

I met my wife here in Florida while she was on a student visa, in 2003. She had been in America , studying/attending classes for over 10 years at various universities throughout the USA, by the time I had met her. We married the next year, then lived together for almost a year before deciding that she go back to Turkey to serve her 2 year HRR for her j-1 visa.

That last decision...was a very tough one.

Now, nearly 3 years after our marriage, we are finally nearing the end of this grueling immigration process.

We met on the internet, through an online roleplaying game. Really weird circumstances in how we met, and how we both found the game and such.
