I'm just curious where many of you meet people to date? Where did you meet your ex? I'm sure there will be many different answers, but let's have fun with this.

I'll start...

I met my ex wife after spotting her in a restaurant and I told my roomate and his GF at the time when we walked in that..."That girl over there is a girl I think I would like". Then my roommates gf said, "Oh, I have her in one of my college classes." We got setup and the rest was history.

Hi, Paul. I'm no good at this, b/c I met my XH in high school on the school bus.

I tried speed dating Thursday night. It was a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. That was really cool... I went on 7 three-minute "dates" with guys, and wouldn't mind getting to know three of them better. So there's an idea for you.... it's a great way to meet a lot of people fast with very little pressure.

And there's always friend of a friend.... I'm trying to expand my social circle, which always helps.

My ex met me driving down a road, recognized me in my car (Miata at the time) & turned around on a highway, followed me back to the hangar where I was going to work & basically showed up!! She had been a passenger on a flight I had flown some time before. I actually thought she was someone else...thought her name was Melissa Conner. It wasn't at all!!!

I was totally surprised to see her when she came walking up to me at the hangar. We talked & talked for a long time about all sorts of things, basically getting aquainted cause we really didn't know each other...when she got ready to leave she said "you make it hard for me to go". I knew something was up at that moment. That was the birth moment for our relationship.

I should have "run Forest RUNNNNNNNNN"!!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Met my WH in a resturant, as my sis and I was walking in he passed me and asked if I wanted to F***!!! Sis smacked him. Needless to say he was drunk.Saw him months later straight of course and went out with him. And here we are today 31 years later.

I was set up with my ex-husband through friends - blind date in 1989 at a church carnival. Looking back, I should have run fast and far away, cause I was seeing a nice man at the time, but didn't have those dreaded "sparks". So I agreed to this blind date. Well, he was the "bad boy" type that I was so attracted to at the time (I was 27ish) - and he remained a bad boy and turned out to be a bad husband....Sigh....

I'm dating a wonderful "non bad boy" for over a year now that was also a blind date fix up. I'm glad that I didn't give up on "fix ups"......

For a short time after my divorce, I did the Match.com thing - and met a handful of nice men. One in particular was great - we dated for a while until one day he just disappeared off the face of the earth. We had a date on a Saturday night, he sent me an email the next morning saying that he couldn't wait to see me again, and then nothing! I called, I emailed, and never, ever got a response. I hope he didn't have a horrible accident, but at the time I remember being incredibly p*ssed off that he didn't have the guts to blow me off in person or at the very least via email.......

I met my ex - at band practice. He was in a garage band, and my friend Tracey hung out with them every weekend - I tagged along one weekend!

The guy I see every now and again (he lives 500 miles away! I travel there for work every so often) - is the brother of one of my friends. She introduced us.

I met my ex at church. He was our minister's son! We had a great relationship until he had a mid life crisis at age 39, and the rest is history. Since then, I have met a few guys online, have been set up by friends a couple of times, and the latest guy I am writing I met at a Church Singles Conference in Ft. Worth, and we live 4 hours apart. I live in the Houston area. I don't know what will come of it since it's such a long distance, but we enjoy emailing and talking on the phone. Haven't met in person since the conference in April, but hopefully that will be the next step.

My ex-best friend set me up on a blind date with my ex-husband. He was a cheater. She married five years after us and cheated on her husband, too. That's why she's not my best friend anymore. Big surprise, XWH married her sister. LOL!

Everyone I dated after that I met on a dating site, except one that was also a setup. Hubby and I met online.


Mrs. W8ing

W8ing4signs,

So what site did you find your hubby on and also, what did you do for your first date? Did you talk on the phone first before meeting?

Just curious...

Oh my Low, is it all attitude that keeps you so busy?

My last three dates:

Contacted by him online, no pic. met for dinner he was 100 LBS (not exagerating) over weight. Last date.

online again by him, sweet man, two dates he decided no more, would have seen him again.

kind of a might we date in the future date, meet while visiting friends, enjoyed conversation, he had nice legs & hands but found out some things about him making moving forward a no go.

Met my wife at a Chili's restaurant after work one day. She was the friend of a friend. I was actually on another date at the time, and my friend brought her over to our table to have a drink and talk. Just through our conversation and talking......I KNEW she was the one and I wanted to get know her better.

We have been happily married for almost 4yrs now.

Met my soon to be fiance online at match.com. He knew almost immediately that I was the one for him. It took me a lot longer to finally accept that he was the one for me.

We've been dating for over two years now and will soon be engaged and living together in the house we are buying together.

I met my ex at college. He had apparently been scoping me out for a while, and when we were at the same party, he (drunk of course) told a mutual friend that he wanted me to have his children. UGH! I relented 6 months later and went out with him, adn we married 5 years later. (and I DO have his 2 children)

Funny, similar to Aptiva.

Current BF was a fix-up. He's a good friend's BIL.

Readu for a good story?

I was on a bachelor party for my sister's FIRST husband. I only knew two people of the thirteen in the bachelor party crowd, my soon to be bro in law and his brother. my job was to keep them out of trouble, i knew that. the party started at 12 noon and by midnight we had been drunk and sober three or four times. we were winding down at this bar when i met my ex. she was a rock drummer and rock groupie/insider who there watching a band she played with occasionally. after spending some time with her i turn around and see a wild west like bar fight going on. chairs flying, fists flying, my bro in law and brother flying. so i go retrieve them, taking and throwing punches along the way. thinking i had blown any chance with this cool, hip rock chick, i asked for her number and got it. we went out the next day. meant to be huh?

Low, I wondered about your attitude because you seem so successful meeting up with women & having relationships with them. I thought surely your attitude & the openness with which you say you approach people must play a part.

Only good things Low. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
