How did you meet the love of your life?

I was working in a bank in Colorado, where my wife cashed her paycheck. I thought she was very pretty, and to the other tellers I worked with, she became known as "CUTE GIRL" - they would leave me little notes when I was at the drive through, like "CUTE GIRL came in!" and in general teased me. Finally she came to me one day and conversation just easily happened. The next week she came back to me and again we talked easily for an extended time, as nobody was in line behind her. That time, I gave her a piece of paper with my email address on it. She put it up on her board at work, and didn't write me for 4 days. When she finally wrote, an explosion of back-and-forth emails happened so intense and exciting that we could hardly work for a week or so. Finally I asked her to have lunch with me, and we had lunch at Noodles & Company (hahaha, great first date huh?). Within a month I moved in with her and my now-stepchild, and we've been happy ever since. How did you meet your love?

We started as text mates coz my cousin who happens to be the gf of his brother gave my # to him coz i had a crush on him. We started texting but I didn't tell him my real name. I used different name coz i don't want him to know until one time, I was still in school and i turned my cellphone off and i didn't reply. He said he was so worried and called me and heard my voicemail. From that on, he knew who I am and we started dating. Until now, we've been together for 5yrs. hehee :) So, cellphones really do count in our relationship.

It's amazing... Online relationships were a huge joke for awhile, now they're becoming the norm. It's so nice to have a larger audience to date from, rather than just those you know or happen to bump into somewhere.

Three years ago I visit my aunt in the parlor and she introduce me to her customer , a chubby beautiful lady ,at first glance its seem we have seen each other before,to keep the story short we are happily married and have a 7 month old baby boy. And yes we have met before during the first two years helping my aunt watch the parlor, but sadly the parlor we found love have close today.

i met her in a chat room, mistaken by my old friend nickname, they have almost similiar nickname. after the first mistake, we talk alot, we have a few things in common, we decide to be bestfriends. the first time we met, i knew she'll be the one for me (actually, i already fallin' for her before i met her) so, i did the best i could tryin' to impress her. after 2 months tryin' it seems i did sumthin' wrong. she didn't response the way i excpected. after that, i've decide to take a "space" her. until my friend told me that never tryin' to impress someone, just express ur self. well, i did what my friend told me, and after 3 months, we becomes a lover. hope happily ever after.

I met my husband to be while we were both in the Navy stationed on the same ship. Him and I went to a eating place, waiting for our other friends to get there. Come to find out, they were never coming because they fixed it so we would get to know each other. I was engaged to another guy at the time from a different ship, but he was gone on a 6 month deployment. That relationship was becoming sour because he was over protective. We began talking and hanging out together. I broke off the engagement, when my fiance came back. I know crappy of me. We got married 6 months later. Now we are going on 12 years of marriage and have two kids.

That's not so crappy of you - I'm sure you had made it clear before that his over protectiveness was straining the relationship. And now, 12 years of marriage to back up your decision? Way to go! Congrats!

I met my love on the internet. I lived in the UK, he lived in Canada. I flew out to Canada to meet him, we fell head over heels in love at first sight, and after spending 4 magical weeks together, I flew back to Ireland to sort my affairs out, then flew back to Canada. We haven't been apart since and we've been together almost three years with our Wedding on the Agenda for next April.

Ah well, I know what that's all like. I had 2 or 3 "love of my life" deals between middle school and college. But the one that REALLY stuck, my wife, in retrospect makes all of them look silly and insignificant. I imagine you'll find the same in the future, although you won't believe me now. Good luck!

I wnet to a housewarming party of friends I had known for years. Another friend of mine was there and I started complaining about being single and he said "hey have you met Ted?" (not his real name) and I said "no whose he?" and my friend was shocked that I had never met him before. He pointed him out, he was rather attractive and I had noticed him before around town, but had no idea that my FRIENDS knew him, anyways, to make a long story short, they introduced us, that night we sat and talked about life, love, our future goals and what we wanted out of life, and 9 months later we were married.

The love of my life happened to study with me in the university. We became good friends, and with time discovered we actualy love each other. It began when we became a group of "university friends". After a while, she and I began going out on our own, talking to the small hours of night etc. It didn't take long to fall inlove with her beautiful blue eyes... It became official when we were on a trip we arranged with our class - we just fell into each other's arms and set hugged, watching at the stars. Ever since, we are a couple, and about to marry on august.

I met my lover on the internat at the second year in the university.I used to chat on the net and one day a boy asked to be on my friend list,I agreed,and we began to chat on Saturday night each week.I did like chating with him very much,cause he 's so humourous and helpful.Then one day,he invited me to dinner.We dated at the door of a supermarket,but we missed the chance by some reason.Half a year later,he invited me again and we met each other and didn't part from each other ever since.
