This is more than likely not the best place to meet someone but heres our story...

My cousin always introduced me to all his friends and told them all to stay away or he would kick there butts...haha he was very protective of my sisters and I. Well He was killed about 6 years ago and the night he died I ran into Adam. Didnt know who he was and he told me that he had been friends with my cousin for years. Well after the funeral I got out of Rehab ( for drinking) and we started talking and havent been seperated since. It turns out that we had been to a few of the same parties and my cousin just never introduced us because we both were heavy partiers and more than likely wouldnt have made it. But after his death Adam quit drinking also and it has all worked out. We miss him terribly but thank him all the time for knowing what was best for us..

Congratulations on kicking the booze habit, bimrdcpl. In my experience it's one of the worst drugs out there. Good job!
Mr. Alura

Thanks alot!!! It means alot when someone tells you good job. We have been very fortunate to have a good suport system for the past 6 years for the both of us. Its not easy but it is worth it.

She was working in an art gallery on campus. My roomates and I stopped by one day on the way up to dinner to check her out. I checked her out. Still haven't returned her. That was over 20 years ago. Imagine the late fees if I ever brought her back!!!!

Shhhhh.....don't tell anyone!

Hubby and I met while I was bartending after separating from my first husband. He came in hungover and asked for a "coke" and watched some nascar race...I kept glancing at him and was introduced to him by the owner of the bar who tried to fix us up but to no avail that night but we did get together and ten years and two kids later i am still serving him his coke....the point is I met him without expecting anything and it has been an interesting journey

LOL, this is too funny! We met in 7th grade. She sat in front of me in homeroom and hated me. She was a goody two shoes and I was a punk. In 9th grade we started dating, got married at 22 and have been for 22 years now! She's still a dream!!

I met my mate at a swingers' club dance. I went with another couple, and he was a single there. I wish you all the luck in finding someone to be your soulmate.

I had gone out to a bar with a coworker on a spur of the moment whim at the end of our shift. When we got there, we each ran into some people that we knew, so we parted up until last call. She was talking to a guy at the end of the night and introduced us. We have been together for 10 years now.

We were in the same grade in school. I flirted shamelessly with him (usually in band class) until he asked me out our Junior year. Got married a year after graduation - 16 years ago!

I'll bet your cousin is smiling on your relationship knowing that two people he cared so much about have found a healthy path together.

Congrats to you both.

I was never planning on marrying when my close friend introduced me to his brother and it was " love at first sight" that I never beleived in only "lust at first sight"
Maybe that if you quit looking maybe theyll find you.

Some comments on the singles thread got my gears turning and I thought that it might be fun to hear some different places that you have met that someone special.

I met my hubby at the movie theater. Actually after the movie let out. He was hanging around outside with his buddies and I with my girlfriends. He was so darn cute that I just had to talk to him. We ended up sitting in the parking lot talking until 4 am. The next morning I told my mother that I had just met the man that I was going to marry and that I was moving to Louisiana. She thought that I was crazy, but a year later she found out otherwise, and here I am.

I also met a great guy in the laundry mat. I hated going to my mothers because at the laundry mat I could use five washers if I wanted to and get everything done quickly. And one day there was a guy in there that started talking to me while we waited on clothes to finish and we just hit it off. Although he didn't turn out to be the one, we remained great friends for many years after that. I wonder what ever happen to him?
