I met my husband at the bank, where I first worked with. He was a new employee then.
At first I didn’t notice him at all. We would always go out and disco the night away in groups, but he still remained unnoticed by me.
But one time, as he went into my cubicle and saw my plate name on the booth, he told me “I would like to change your family name into mine.” We laughed at that joke, but from that day on, I begin to notice that he was cute and have a sense of rumor. Until, we became sweethearts and now husband and wife.
So, how about you guys?

I met my hubby in high school. The funny part is at first I hated him, I thought he was conceded and stuck up. A friend of my mine at the time had a tremendous crush on him and I always told her what the hell do you find in him. During the end of the year and that summer we got to know each other, because he was in the band and I was in the colorguard so we had to practice together the entire summer. We got to know each other and feel in love this was back in 1997 he was my high school sweetheart and until this day we still are together and more in than ever...

Yeah you are probably right the more you hate sometimes turns out to be the more you love someone. I never really thought about that way.
Hmmm, interesting...

Aww...thats so sweet.
Me and my husband met back in college...we were both Engineering students. I remembered when he first texted me and was asking where I am. lol...it was perfect timing that I was looking for my friends. So I thought that he was one of my friends who was looking for me...and I texted back..and from there, he introduced himself and we became boyfriend-girlfriend...5 years after were now married with a 1 yr old kid.

i have a girl-friend who happened to have an affair with a boy-friend of mine.
one time she asked me to accompany her to attend the fiesta celebration in the boy's town. so we went there with my motorcycle. along the way, we experienced heavy rains, so when we reached the boy's place, we were both wet like chicks (mga basang sisiw). the boy wasn't around the house so the girl, asked me to visit another friend in the town, so we went there.
i was still feeling cold the time we reach girl 2. so i was not really in the mood at that time when we were introduced. and that was all for that night.
we slept with the boy's place. and when i woke up, the two of them were not around together with my motorcycle, so i went a little mad. and when they came back, all my feelings were changed seeing girl 2. she was so pretty when i saw her, not the same when i saw her the night before.
that day, i planned to go back to the city because i still have work. that actually made me mad when i saw my motorcycle was not there. but when i saw her, i changed my mind.
so we were told to proceed to girl 2's house. and there we continue to celebrate.
dine, drink, party, and so on.
there it started everything. we happened to see again after 4 days. from from that day, we seemed to be inseparable.

Wow, your love story is just like in the movies. Boy meets girl just when the boy is in a hot situation (you being angry)
It's a good thing that your girl is there to appease your raging feeling for your 2 friends. Had it not for your girl, i suppose you will really quarrel with your friends.

When I came to Manila right after I graduated college I stayed with my sister whose working in a bank. She lives in a boarding house where my wife is occupying another room. We've known each other but we're not really close because I'm an introbert kind of person, a snub in short. My wife is beautiful and gorgeous (well, bicolanas really are a beautiful lot). She's a diana zubiri look a like, she even got the same curves except that diana's boobs are bigger . being a looker she's got those suitors left and right. Although I had a crush on her, I didn't pursue the feeling because I had a girl friend then. But guess what? she made the first move of befriending me because my coldness towards her seem to have intrigued her. According to her she's wondering why I was not her friend when most of the ladies in the boarding were all my friends. Even her cousin whom she lives with is a close friend of mine. So one night, we had this conversation and I just took advantage of the situation and told her about my feelings so we became a couple in 2 weeks time and the rest is a roller coaster ride.

So yours is a modern one , it's the girl who made the first move.
You are right in saying that mostly, Bicolanas are beautiful . Ahemm.
Lucky you Ybong, to have not gone through difficulty in courting your wife or your wife in courting you.
So, it only means you are good looking , yourself?

Actually people more often than not asks my wife how did she get me but that's more of my attitude rather than the looks. As for the looks, well I always believe that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and so far I have not heard my mother call me ugly.

No mother would admit that his child is ugly.
However, the mere experience of people joking your wife that way, means you are good looking yourself. Remember, jokes are meant to be half truths.

This is a long story, but I will shorten it here. How I met my girl friend. Now, it was many years ago, she was 21 years old. I was 20. I first met her through my cousin. You see, she was going out with him back then. I knew she liked me and I liked her a lot. But I never said anything and never interfered in their relationship. Then, a few years after, she broke up with him and left. I looked for her, but could not find her. Then I went on with my life. I wound up getting married, had children. Well, needless to say, my marriage broke up after 17 years. Now I was alone again. As fate, or serendipity would have it, I bumped into that girl from way back. She greeted me with the biggest hug and kiss anyone could ever wish for. You see, even though nothing happened between us years ago, we were always hanging out, laughing and joking. She felt comfortable with me as I with her. So, we had many fun memories, especially the holidays. Thats why she greeted me that way. I was shocked and amazed. Then she told me that she always thought about me, and stopping by the family to say hello, but felt funny with my cousin. She thought he would always be around. So, we started hanging out again, then dating, now we are living together and very, very happy. It truly is serendipity.

It's serendipity indeed! Truly, God has a way of letting people , who are really destined to be together, to meet again after many years of having their own lives.
I am glad my friend to know , that you are very very happy together.

I first met my husband in a party where i was also invited. we were introduce but because i had a boyfriend at that time i just ignored him. After a month i think, i saw him in the restaurant where i worked as a receptionist, 'till then i saw him almost everyday in there. One time he came to me and asked me if i like Celine Dion's music because his going to give me a concert video so i accepted it and thanked him. The next day he was there again, an old man passed and he called him, then he came to me and asked to let the old man eat inside the restaurant but that old man is not related to him, he is just someone passing by the restaurant, so to let the story short the old man ate inside the restaurant. He came to me again and asked me if i can go out shopping with the old man because he wants to buy the old man some new clothes and food but he said he don't have time to buy them so asked me if after work i can go out and buy the clothes, if not then the old man will have nothing because he will not give him money also, he wants to give food or clothing only. thinking that, that's the only way i can also help the old man so i say Yes!!! he smiled to me and said "thank you,I just want the old man to have a proper clothes and is it possible if i can get your phone number also? so i will be able to call on how are you getting on with the old man or if you need more money for him?" I just laughed because i know what he is up to...... that was the beginning of seeing each other, most of the time we laughed and talked about the old man on how he used him to get my number but helped him also in little ways. after we get married, every time we saw the old man, we always give him something because that's where our relationship started...I am very lucky to have my husband, he is a very good person, inside and out. and i am so proud of him.

You are very lucky to have found a very good man indeed. I guess, he was also trying to test if you yourself is also as good as him too.
Yes, you have the old man to thank for your man.

That's true. I don't actually call it luck, but it's a blessing , and it comes only when we manage our life well and always do good . I take it as a reward of God for us, who always try to walk the right course of life, to have good husbands .

I met my partner through a friend of a friend and we got talking through a social networking website that we had added each other as friends on. We didn't actually meet up until several months after we started talking, but we soon got together after we had done this as we found that we had a lot in common and enjoyed the time that we spent together. We have been together for almost three years now and are planning to buy a property together in the near future, and are also planning to have a family as soon as we have bought the property and managed to get everything ready.

Yours is a modern day way of getting a partner. Lucky you to have found a real person, though it was initially at the social networking site that you first met.
Good luck on your endeavors and your plans. Have a wonderful life together.

i met her in the church, but she doesn't impress me at all then..she's not so pretty back then and not cute to look at. actually she's so skinny and old looking from her age..maybe because of her physical built and wear of dressing, but later on maybe my dislikes with her makes took me to notice her oftentimes, which later on had develop into a relationship..now shes no skinny anymore, she turn into a chubby wife because she loves what i cook for her

Yours, is a true proof that the saying "first impression never last" is not true.
Sometimes, outward appearance doesn't impress us. We have to see the inner self of the person so we could be impressed. In your case, that was what happened too.
Your wife is lucky to have a good cook in you!

After three failed marriages and failed boyfriends, I was looking for a guy that wanted to date. I wasn't interested in marriage again. My adult son was worried about me being alone so he suggested internet dating because my brother was doing it. I signed up on Yahoo Personals. I met one guy that ended up a total failure and dumped him. I told my son, that I was going to remove my name of the site because I didn't want to deal with jerks. He said for me to try it one more time and if I find someone, I owe him a dinner. A guy did contact me and we emailed each other for about 3 weeks. We finally did make a time to meet but he wanted to do it at his home because he had a son, and I wanted to meet in public for safety reasons. Though I saw a picture of him, he never saw a picture of me. I did give in and agreed to meet him at his house. I got dressed up and slid a knife in my boot that my sone gave me. I figure if this guy was a freak, I would defend myself. We met on August 27, 2002. Things went well. We dated and on August 27, 2005 we were married. A year later, I told my husband about the knife, which he got a good laugh out of. Yes, my son did get his dinner since he won the bet. We picked August 27th as the date to get married so my husband couldn't forget the day we met or our wedding anniversary.

Oh yours is a very nice love story. Though, you virtually found him, but still it went well in real life.
Funny, how you hid that knife in your boots.

My husband lived and i lived in the same hometown but we both don't stay there as we study in another place. I haven't seen him and really didn't know him till one summer time when i have to commute since our driver was sick and i saw this cute snobbish kid. But he was too young. I was a university student then and he was just in high school. Little did i know that he was eyeing me too.
It took us 4 years after that to really become friends and then hang out together in a group. It was also then that we realized we wanted to be more than just friends.

Yours is what we call here as "Love thy Neighbor".
Funny ,when we get to reminisce how we came to meet our husbands. Little do we know that the one we are always seeing in our daily course of our lives, would someday be our better half.

Yes, friends could really help in introducing their friends who could be potential partners of their friends too. It's really a common way to meet your future husband .

I met my wife when we both worked at The Home Depot. I remember the first time I saw her, even the actual aisle it was in. It was certainly a time I will never forget. She was actually the one who asked me out in the first place.

Hmm, yours is a modern day style. It's the woman who made the first move.
At least, nowadays women have chances of having their partners in life, by making the first moves.

just like you, we work in the same company. just that i was the new employee, not him.
i actually do not know him and have not met him, not until our company sportsfest. i was assigned in the packaging materials dept and i handled our importations. and our department is one with the warehouse. so our office is separated from the main office, 600 meters away. he was in the research dept then. so we really have no chance of being together.
we were in the same team. so during our sportsfest opening, we saw and met each other. he was a funny guy (or was he just trying to get my attention? ) we became close friends since then. i was comfortable being with him because it seems like i knew him a long time ago. after several months, he started showing me some affections. but i rejected him because i had a boyfriend then. but he said he was not trying to expect something from me. i tried to avoid him so it will not create any problem with my bf then. but he really does things just to be near me. even if he does not in any way responsible for withdrawing items from our warehouse, he will always volunteer to get it for their research evaluation, just to see me and annoy me with his prank jokes...
it was also a coincidence that we had a shaky status with my bf as he became very much insecure and very posessive over me. it was the time that he lost his job and it really made him depressed. he always wanted my attention to be on him that it came to a point that he became jealous of my time for my own family. to make it short, we broke up. and my husband was so happy. he continued to court me but this time asking me if he can be the replacement. i accepted him after 5 months. and 6 years after that, we got married.
