My Dad and I decided to go on vacation together (he's divorced from my mom and in a wheelchair with M.S.), and we picked Negril, Jamaica. For those who have been you know it rains sometimes very briefly like twice a day -then boom!-the sun is out again. Well, my Dad was in his room taking a nap and I was sunbathing by myself at one of the resort's pools when it started raining. As we all scramble to get dressed/take cover, a tall, LIGHT and handsome guy sitting in front of me says hello and introduces himself to me. I'm thinking, "oh great, whose husband is this?" but it turns out he on vacation with his family. We really clicked over the next few days and eventually had an amazingly hot "hook-up" a few nights later. When we both went home (him to Texas, me to Massachusetts), we flew to see one another quite a number of times over the next year, finally settling into the "long-distance thing." He moved up here to Mass with me last summer, and now we're getting prepared to do the cross-country thing next month and move to L.A. together.

Sometimes when I'm struggling with all the difficult circumstances we've been through together the past 2 years or so, I think about those first days in Jamaica, how pure and fresh it was and it actually causes me to view the relationship in a more positive "lucky" kind of way and not take that chance meeting for granted. Kind of cool, and different (and mushy...sorry!). :shy:

I actually met mine while still married. As bad as that sounds it really wasn't. :)

He was my ex's boss. About twice a month he would invite the guys who worked for him over to his apartment. He had a fooseball table, pinball machine and 8 networked computers. They worked at a CD replication plant that dealth with everything from music to video games, hence the 8 computers (they'd play the latest stuff to come out in addition to old fav's like Counter Strike).

Anyhow I went over there one time with the ex to pick something up. I remember thinking he was really good looking and was surprised he was single but that was about it. I think I ran into him a few more times, once at the company Xmas party (and damn if he doesn't look pretty f'ing spiffy in a suit).

Over the next four years i'd talk to him and a mess of the other guys online (we all gamed together), always totally friends only. He of course heard through the grapevine that my ex and I were seperating (they didn't work together anymore at that point).

After i'd been single a year he offered to take me out since I literally had gone out once in that whole year and I was kind of beginning to collect dust.

Wasn't I surprised to find myself fogging up the windows in his car for a couple hours when he took me home. :) After a 14 year relationship it was like being in high school again.

5+ years later and we're still together and disgustingly happy.

I met my 1st boyfriend when his store (an electronics store) had been broken into & I showed up to to buy something. I offered to put off my purchase but he insisted, saying the store needed the sale. We walked over broken glass & knocked-over displays & waited for the cops to show up. LOL It was an appropriate beginning. We toughed out about 4 years & even though we were toxic to eachother, I do hope he finds happiness someday in life.

I met "The Green Beret" when I walked into the club I had been booked at & he was leaning on the bar. He saw me and pointed his finger at me like I was a target. Eventually he succeeded in nailing me, but I was too much trouble. We f*cked & fought for a few months & then split up. He's stationed in Iraq right now. I really respect him, despite our massive differences.

OK those are the only noteworthy tales.

Well, my fiance and I went to the same high school, but at different times. The school that we went to was an alternative enrichment program and only had approx. 30 students from grades 9-12 per year. So, if you went there, you knew everyone else that did. He was the crazy intellectual artist type that the teachers still spoke about years after he had graduated, so of course I knew who is was. Anyway, one of my long-term relationships was with another guy that had stolen my man's personality. So, I had fallen in love with the personality but the wrong man.

I had met him at a few parties, knew about his problems (very small circle of friends), but he just thought that i was hot, but annoying....lol. We didn't really like eachother too much. Anyway, I went to school with his little brother, whom i was friends with and the brother had a major crush on me, etc.

Then, a year and a half after I had graduated and hadn't spoken to alot of these people in a long time, he happened to have a beer at the restaurant that I was waitressing at. It was surprising to see eachother, but I smiled, we talked, I fed him some of the food I was eating. He waited until I was done work, we went out for drinks (he had to beg his friend for money, because he really wanted to spend the evening with me) and then back to his house (no sex). The next day, he called his work and told them he had to have the day off to hang out with me!

After that, we have been inseperable for 2 years, although there have been some painful times. Our lives are very much a unit, in our own little world, and only screw up when other people become involved.

Sorry, it was so long. Just reveling in remembering the beginning!

Yea that's a great pic! I just can't stop drooling over the form really... I mean, you look good too... but BAM. I mean POW. That's a hunk of man meat. Holy geeze I just wanna lick him.

Hah, When I am with someone I am serious about being involved with, I always always always think "How will this story look 5 months from now." Wonder what yours are like.

oh god, all these sweet stories, I need a barf bag!

Just kidding :) I agree with Vaugn's first post though; seems a little strange for some dude to come on the site and his first question is basically "so how do you strippers meet guys?" (translation: how can I date a stripper?)


But even if that was the original motive of the post, isn't it education for men who want to "date strippers" to hear that we meet our partners in pretty much the same ways everyone else does?

oh i have to respond to this one, mine is a funny story. My...now husband of 6 years and I meet through our geekyness.

i played a live action style game at a part (its called amtguard, kinda..nerf combat) and this particular day his group came to our park to play against us. just picture two sneaker clad groups with sheilds and foam weapons across from each other....an arrow flys from the back ranks..flys over the field..and lands....on my forehead (was padded, no worries). the archer claims his life to race across the field to see if i am ok.

we didn't see each other again for almost a year (and i forgot it was him who hit me until he mentioned it)...when again his group came to our park. then we talked in the time out area (cause we both had been killed) and after carding me to make sure i was over 18 (very worried he was gonna get a minor, lol) he asked me out. we dated for a year and will be having our 6th wedding annaversery this october :)

I met my bf through my ex-husband, haha. All 3 of us were in a car club, and one night at a weekly meet, not many people showed up. My husband, my current bf, and I, ended up sitting at a table and talking for an hour or so. I fell for my bf immediately. After seeing each other a lot, (but not having sex) I was totally in love, and left my husband. I moved two states away to figure out my life and I was miserable, missing my bf constantly and flying back to see him every 3 weeks.

6 weeks ago I moved back so I can see him a lot more :)

I met my husband through my bf before him, but didn't really think of dating him til after I broke up with the ex bf. It's my M.O. I guess.

Ok, I'll elaborate :P

I use to have a blog I wrote in frequently on Blogger. I wrote all kinds of random crap on there. One night I decided to do one of those "Favorites" lists; I included my favorite car, which Was a Subaru WRX.
Turns out Rob had heard about the WRX and was curious about it, so he googled it trying to find information. My blog came up in the results because of my post, so he decided to check out my blog and liked it so much he became a regular reader and I started reading his blog as well. (His "divorce blog", as he was going through a horrible divorce). We got on pretty well and left lots of comments, but never persued anything. I had a boyfriend and he was MUCH older. I didn't think he thought of me as anything but a sister type friend and he thought he came across as old and creepy. Even when we eventually started talking on Yahoo Messenger together, the conversations were never long or anything more than small talk. I mostly gave up talking to him because he didn't seem too interested in me.
Then a couple months later his friend he met through her blog came down to help pack up his ex wife's shit that he couldn't bear to do alone and we all decided to meet for breakfast. So we met at Waffle House and ROb and I pretty much ignored each other. (Now we know it was because we were very shy around each other) I thought he was into the woman who was helping him out, so I didnt say much.
Turns out he wasn't and last November I IM him asking him how he was doing. By now I was single again.He confessed he was doing horribly; he felt overwhelmed with trying to get his house ready to sell and he was stressed. I listened. He finally broke down and asked me if I would come help him clean in exchange for gas money. I told him of course and I came to help. He flirted with me the entire night and we ended up not doing much cleaning, but a lot of talking and listening to music instead. After that he invited me out again and after me coming over 3 times in 1 week he asked if we were dating because he'd never had anyone over this many times in one week. I laughed and said no, because at the time I had started dating a guy in Phoenix long distance and thought we were just becoming friends.
Rob helped me to realize that that guy was very manipulative and bad news in general, so I split with him and Rob and I dated. 3 times in a row we dated for 2 days, then broke up. Waited a week, got back together. Broke up again. This went on 3 times. The third time I knew I had fallen in love, and he wasn't sure if it was for real, so he insisted we be friends for a while. 4 days later he came to me and said he couldn't take it anymore, that he loved me, and wanted me back for good. 2 months later we were married. Now we've been together 5 months and verrrrry happy.
Lots of details that would take hours to write, but thats the gist of it :)

my hubby was my manager at my old club. lol He was known for being a hard-ass and never dating ANYONE, much less one of the girls. So me being me, I decided to make him like me to prove everyone wrong. I chased him mercilessly for about 2 weeks before he gave in. We went out for dinner and I didn't want to drink and drive so I crashed at his place. Since that night we've never spent a night apart in 3 1/2 years. He quit the club so I could still work there and now he's the best husband and daddy to my girls I could ask for. Pretty funny for a guy who never has had a girlfriend longer than a month and swore he never wanted kids!

At a bar. I know this is so cliche, but it worked for us. We were the two fairly sober ones. I was trying to keep my roommate from taking his friend home with us. Didn't work, the next morning, my husband got directions to our apartment from his friend and stopped by to ask for my number. It was so cute, no cheesy lines or anything, just a really nice I'd like to get to know you. We were living together 9 mos later.

Sounds to me like you were the first girl he met (in a while) who bothered to even TRY to put a relationship together.

^^^ That's sort of how it is with me and my boyfriend... I'm his first long-term relationship because he used to run with party girls all the time. There was a long learning curve, but after I finally got over him and moved on with my life, he decided he couldn't live without me and he's learned exactly how to do it! It did take some teaching on my part, though!
