How did you two meet-up and fall in love? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mylittletigger · 02-02-2006, 11:05 AM

My friend, Lauren, and I worked together at Petsmart in the pet care dept. and hung out like sisters. Well one day she showed me a picture of her older brother who I thought was really cute. She said "really??? He's never had a girlfriend." like she was surprised someone would find him attractive. well at the time he was in the air force stationed in Hawiaii.(sp) but he got out and moved to vegas and we begun talking. One night we even had a four hour phone call about needless chit chat. for a little while we had been talking about meeting up, then one night after work he called me and said that he was on his way up to Petsmart. I said ok, that I'd wait for him. At the time I had a boyfriend who had decided moving away was best for him to cali, and I thought well there's nothing wrong with having male friends. So we met up, went to his house and talked for a little bit.(he knew I had a boyfriend at the time) and nothing more happened. I left and we met up agian the next night and talked (only this time he tried to seduce me. didn't work. I'm extremely faithful. even my aunt has tried to get me to cheat.I was in a really bad relationship at that point in my life but not with the one who moved away) I left and called my boyfriend who had moved away and told him that I felt a strong connection with this guy and that I wasn't sure as to what to do. He said that maybe we should just be friends. I decided that since he lived so far away that was the best option. and from then on John and I have been together. It's now been one year and three months. I love him with all my heart and have even thought of asking him to marry me. But I'm his first girlfriend and we're young so I'm unsure of what I should do. don't men need to get out their wild oats??? I know I have, but he hasn't that I know of.

I got married when I was 19 because I met my soulmate and I KNEW it. He is still the love of my life and I haven't had any second thoughts in 18 years. I think you KNOW it when you've found the one...If you are the ONE, then he probably doesn't need to sow his wild oats....the question is: is he the ONE for you?

chloeandj · 02-02-2006, 01:13 PM

I love all these stories!

I was 18 years old and had a boyfriend my mother hated. She kept telling me about this guy at her work that she wanted me to go out with. For my birthday she gave me a card with a cowboy on it and it had his phone number inside (yeah, she was really pushing this on me!

) Finally to shut my mother up, I called him 2 weeks later and we talked for hours on the phone. I was so excited about our first "blind date" but it turned out AWFUL and I was home by 9 telling my mom to never do that to me again! After talking to him on the phone again, I decided to give him a second chance and one more date...long story short, we were engaged a month later.

When I told my mother about the engagement she was a little upset as I was so young, her words were "I told him he could date you, not marry you!" Anyway, we'll be married 10 years on May 18.

Smudgers_mum · 02-02-2006, 01:25 PM

This is a cute thread!

I met Big Daddy in a bar on St. Patrick's Day on a Tuesday. By Saturday, we were playing house and 3 months later we got married! 6 months after that I was pregnant.

It's so funny because neither of us wanted to go out that night and our friends forced us to go. I also never gave my number or anything to guys in bars. It was fate!

NewYorkieMa&Pa · 02-02-2006, 01:40 PM

Thanks to everyone who has shared so far... I know there are more of you out there with great stories. BTW...It doesn't have to be romantic.

Just want to know how love found your or how you found love...

Rockster's Mom · 02-02-2006, 02:04 PM

My BF and I met one night at bar though a friend. I had just gotten out of a relationship a few weeks before and I was not even looking for someone new. I just wanted to go out and have some fun and try to forget about the ex. Well, when I met my BF I was like well he is good looking, but I heard the stories about him from my friend, but I did not care he was fun to hangout with. Needless to stay we have been together everyday since then and that was about a year and half ago.

josie girl · 02-02-2006, 02:16 PM

My husband was actually a patient of ours for 1 year. We did lasik eye surgery on him and I thought he was really cute. After his 1 year of post op appts were done, I was soooooo sad. But then, I actually saw him at our Church! (we have a big church). It turned out that we had been going to the same church the whole time and didn't know. So I approached him and asked him how his vision was and he said "i'm sorry, what was your name again?" I was really really emberrassed (sp?) and walked away quickly too hide. He didn't even remember me after I had been his nurse for 1 whole year! About 5 minutes later he tracked me down and sat right in front of me, we started talking, and became friends for 6 months, then dated for 6 months and now have been happily married for 2 years!

Passionfruition · 02-02-2006, 02:34 PM

I wrote out our "how we met" story and here's the link: http://www.xanga.com/item.aspx?user=...&uid=115395254

For those of you who don't want to read the long version (well, it's not THAT long, but anyways)...

Eli and I met while working at Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede in Pigeon Forge (Gatlinburg), Tennessee. It was a fun place to work and we met, but didn't think much about each other. Someone suggested we start carpooling to work with each other (and it was an hour's drive each way from home to work) and so we did ONLY to save gas.

Well, we know where that got us! We were engaged within 6 months of dating and got married on the beach exactly a year later than the day we got engaged. On February 28th, we will have been married 2 whole years!

Our wedding pics are here: http://community.webshots.com/user/passionfruition

bkessler · 02-02-2006, 03:53 PM

I think I told everyone about me and Jody but I'll do it again.. I have been in Physical Therapy for my knee since May at the gym where Jody works.. Anyway, he is a personal trainer and he trains my best friend, her mom and her brother.. They have wanted to set us up for ever but I was in another relationship.. ANyway, Jody knew that but he would still come over and chat with me when I was working out.. ANyway, when he found out I broke up with Justin, my friend was still dying to hook us up and even though I thought he was hot I was worried because of the age difference.. Anyway, one day in August Jody asked if I wanted to go for a walk in the park so I was like sure and the rest is history... August 22 was our first walk in the park and we've be inseperable since... I couldn't imagine my life without him in it... I am glad I put the age difference aside and gave him a chance.. Just and idea, we should post pictures of us with our husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends!!

amspoelstra · 02-02-2006, 04:34 PM

My husband was in the military on active duty and stationed in Germany. He had a TDY to my hometown in the Netherlands. Two of my friends had already met two of his friends and forced me to come out with them. So I did, and I met Brian, in a bar. We hooked up. But I kept telling him things would never work out. He had to go back to Germany and we kept talking. Then he starting driving every weekend 5 hours (one way), to see me. I never thought I'd end up eight years later being married and living in the United States.

PlatinumYorkies · 02-02-2006, 05:11 PM

I met my baby at Lexington Market on my lunch hour, March 24, 2002( in my Blues Clues nurse uniform). He was a Market Police officer back then...I was and am a sucker for a man in uniform( he helped me with my third watch addiction.
Anyway, I was standing in line waiting on my fruit smoothie, and he spoke. I thought to myself...this man has the most beautiful dimpled/cleft chin I have ever seen. He took his lunch and walked me back to the hospital...We exchanged numbers....Now we are working on our 4 year anniversary!

TXGirl · 02-02-2006, 05:22 PM

I met my husband 8+ years ago while playing blackjack at a local bar (oh no). The funny thing is that neither of us hardly drink. I was out with friends, and he liked to play pool. Well, we started talking, but I knew he was several years younger than me, so I just felt kind of flattered but didn't think much of it. I rejoined my friends at another table, but he found me and bought me a single red rose. We exchanged phone numbers, but I didn't intend to see him again. He was very persistent, and although I made all kinds of excuses as to why I couldn't go out (I don't even remember what they were), I finally agreed on a second date, and then a third, and from there on out we were together EVERY day. Two months later, we were engaged, and 4 months after that we were married. He is the sweetest man I have ever met and my soul mate. I would be lost without him. I mainly shared this to let anyone reading this know that they shouldn't let an age difference get in the way. Your true love may not fit the "perfect image" you think you're looking for.
