I know a lot of guys/gals here are married and I like hearing hook up stories, keeps the faith that if I stop looking, it usually happens (or so they say). Or maybe I should still go looking or not look, but really look? UGH. Anyway, I'm curious...

How did you meet your special one? Online? Bars? Through friends? Church? School?

I moved out of the city I was living in to get away from certain people (one of them being my ex) and wound up here.

I wasn't looking for a relationship, and I ran into this girl when I was applying for a job.

She was in my training class, and we got to be good friends.

I dated about 3 people from that point until a few years later ... none of them worked out.

I was over at her house hanging out and complaining about ex girls when we just decided that it was all crap, we liked each other and there was no use ignoring it.

Best decision of my life. Point is .. you might already know him ;)
 
I meet my wife while playing Everquest. She was in Florida and I was in Delaware. After playing online together, talking on the phone, and texting we decided to meet in person about 6 months later at an Everquest convention in Las Vegas. Talk about being nervous but we hit it off and about a year later she moved north and we got married.
 
The IT company I worked for at the time looked after the local hospital (just supplying the hardware as they had their own IT dept) and she worked in the IT dept, so I'd spoke to her on the phone a number of times.

I was then put on a 3 month contract to work onsite at the hospital to help with the roll out of some new workstations and servers and that's when we got to know each other and the rest, as they say "is history" :)
Coming up 9 years of marriage, in April, and an almost 5 year old and 2 year old, both boys. :cool:
 
Online

I met my wife via AOL chatrooms...talk about risky. It turned out she lived in same town as me, and she went to high school with my brother...talk about luck.
 
about 14 years ago I used to hang out on ICQ

My wife chatted me, we got to know each other and she asked me out.

We have been inseparable ever since.

Three kids and very happy.

I never thought I would meet the love of my life online, but there ya go. I guess stranger things have happened :)

Great thread subject, btw :D

Kinda the same for me. My wife and I worked at the same place, but our romance began via ICQ. I remember countless nights chatting on ICQ. Even after we moved in together we chatted between rooms sometimes while I was working.

Been married for 11 years and together for 14 .
 
We met in a dance club in London, married one year later and celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary on the 27th Jan. :)

3 sons and 3 wonderful grandchildren so far.

We met on a online dating site.

I hd come out of a difficult marriage. Couple of years before, not looking, thought why not.. Met up, both fell in love, and we've been married for 7 years this may.
 
Met in school 15 years ago, became best friends during college, dated for all of 2 weeks, broke up, never spoke for about 6 years, got back in touch 3.5 years ago.
Been married 15 months now :)
 
I actually met her about...oh...probably over 12 years ago closer to 15 years ago.

She (Michelle) was a paralegal at a law firm that I did the IT for......at that time, I was single, she was with her "ex"..but they were on the outs. There was some level of "flirting" going on...our eyes twinkled, we smiled big time when talking to each other. There was a magic going on there. But because her and her ex that that time were on the down side of their relationship...it went nowhere.

Many months (or a year later) I just started dating someone else. One evening I was driving into Rhode Island to head to this new girls condo, for my 3rd date with her, and my phone rings...it's Michelle. She tells me she's out with her sister...that I should go meet her for some drinks. She and her "ex" were now "ex's". I was like..."Oh..wow, uhm...jeeze I'm about to go on my 3rd date with this girl...". Several months later I was engaged with this new girl...whirlwind relationship, rennovated my house and had her move in and we got married...and 4 years later we were divorced! Brutal divorce.

About 2 years after that....I'm doing the IT for a different law firm...and the office manager asks me to setup a computer/profile for a new paralegal they just hired...I look at the name..and it's her...Michelle. My heart gets excited. About a week or two later I get a call to go to that law firm to fix some other issue....and I hear her voice in the employee lunch room...I walk into that lunch room...we see each other...she comes up and we give each other a huge hug! A few days after that she calls me one evening...we had a long long talk. Couple of days later we went out to dinner. Couple of days later I have her come over my house and I make my famous Rib Eye steaks with shiitake mushrooms and Gorgonzola cheese sauce.

The dating began, we moved into together, we got married next to our XMas tree in a quiet small ceremony in our own house on XMas Eve.

We just celebrated our 5 year anniversary a few weeks ago down in Negril Jamaica. :D
 
I met my wife when I was 13, a friend of my cousin. Dated for 2 weeks a year later, broke up. Dated again for 6 months a year later, broke up and then got back together 6 months later (when we were 16) got married after 10 years and not been married for 8 years
 
Wow, I love the responses. You can tell that love is not dead. It's nice to hear men talk about their ladies. :D

The last guy I "dated" was last summer, he was doing some work for my company. We hit it off big time and then after 5 "dates", he started to talk about other "dates" he was on and started being late or not showing up for our "dates" (he always asked me out) and I realized that he was using me to get more work and to get into my network of people, so I dumped him. And his company lol. I'm glad I did, after awhile I found out he was a huge liar and his business is going down the tubes because of poor delivery, go figure!

After him, I said I was not looking and I haven't. I did meet a guy at a bar and we text every blue moon, but he hasn't asked me out and I don't really care that much to ask him out lol.
 
I met mine when a friend of mine came up to me when I was out in a bar and told me he had this girl who wanted to meet me... long story short we started dating and about a year after we married. Had two beautiful daughters then divorced 9 years later.

Been very happily single but dating ever since and really have no desire whatsoever to remarry .... just too much baggage and I am pretty set in my ways lol. My youngest sometimes asks me if I am ever going to get remarried and I always reply "not only no but heyall no!" ( I'm southern :p )

I do have this one girl who I have dated on and off for the last 7 years or so but I just do not see any reason for marriage ( for me at least ) to be honest ... maybe I'm just anti-social lol.
 
I met my wife in a night club and we were inseperable from that point. Dated for 10 days when I proposed and we were married 6 weeks after the day we met.

this is the short version of the story, but we have been together for 20 years and have a 19 year old and a 15 year old.
 
It was love in the walk-in-freezer. My first official job was at a Burger King, and she had just moved to town. Me and about 3 other guys were all vying for her attention, but, and I only found this out years later, she had already called home to tell her dad about me, saying she met the man she was going to marry. All this before I even mustered up the courage to ask her out.

Quite honestly, every good decision in my life since then (there were very few before then) have been her doing and all the bad ones continue to be mine.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, this year will make 22 years she will have been making my best decisions for me.
