Hi all. Now that I am divorced, and happy again, I've been thinking about meeting some men. Don't worry, not planning to marry again, just have some fun.

So the question is, where did you meet your spouse?

I met my sons' dad in a bar - not recommended. I met my ex at work - not recommended either.

I met my spouse at work. We both worked at a grocery store. Right before I shipped off to basic training, my H was hired as a stock boy. I worked the 'front office' and cash register, as well as stocking. I never noticed him. I went away for about 6 months and then returned to work at the store again, and to start college. I was introduced to him, and he said, with a sheepish grin, "We've met before". That was it.

So, maybe you could start off in the produce department. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I met my WH at the library on campus my freshman year of college,

I thought he was dorkie at first but he kind of grew on me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Still

i met my DH on a blind date. I had (still have) a friend i first met in grammer school and i kept in touch with thru HS even though i moved away (had to go move to my dad's house).

after my first year of college i went back to live with my mom, who still lived in the same place, i.e. where i went to grammer school. and i was still friends with this girl.

she was engaged to a guy who my DH knew most of his life.

this is how my DH explained how the date got set up....

my friend was a short cute brunnette

DH figured short cute brunnettes hung out together

so when her fiance mentioned me my DH, he wanted to meet me.

the four of us went bowling.

i won <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (but i told him it was just because he brought me luck)

You will Love this!

I was under his desk!

Put away those dirty minds! I was in charge of the phone system at work and was hooking up his telephone!

That big 'ol booty sticking up there and he still looked in my eyes when I came out!

I was a gonner when I looked back into those baby blues of his!

I met my DH on the internet through a political forum. We lived in the same town and met each other through this political action group. To his horror, I love telling family that he picked me up on the internet! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Anywho, I have several friends who have made good matches via match.com and harmony.com. My good bud at work was dating all these women who were inappropriate for him, ie: not Catholic, smokers, etc so I suggested he try those internet dating services and make non-Catholic smokers a knock out factor? He met a wonderful art teacher [Catholic, non smoker] and got married last April. They are very happy together.

Maybe you could meet some nice guys that way?

Went to a Pizza Hut with a couple of buddies, and there at a table was a girl I had just dated once or twice, with a couple of her friends, one a very pretty strawberry blonde, with emerald green eyes. I was a goner the second I laid eyes on her. We got engaged in 3 months and married in 7.

In spite of the sewage we've been through, we've been married for 33 years. Prolly do the same thing in a different way, if given do-overs!

I've known my H since he was 7 & I was 9. Actually, when we were that young, I had a crush on his older brother, who was also my age of 9. After knowing them a couple of years, his older brother & I "hooked up" as far as holding hands & he was my first kiss. Then they moved away for 3 years when he was 11 & I was 13. When I was 17, I had run into H's older brother at the local store & he told me they had moved back down here again. The family came to visit & I just fell for H's gorgeous blue eyes & quiet demeanor right away. Screw that! I had absolutely NO interest in the older brother anymore! No rekindling there.

So I asked H out, he was 16, & we've been together ever since. It's funny 'cuz my MIL used to say, when I had a crush on the older brother, "you'll be part of the family someday" meaning I would marry him someday. Well, turns out she had the wrong brother, but I guess her prediction came true! LOL

At a Star Trek convention.

Yes, really!

In New Orleans on a mission trip with our church.

My big sister took this young impressionable just 16 yr old me to a dance studio where they taught waltzes to whatever & had dances after where she was meeting this young bloke who was a soldier she was sometimes going out with, but not not too seriously thank goodness. Guess who that bloke was?

Everyone I had known before were boys, he was a man. Cute as well. And these deep deep blue faraway eyes. And all I could do was just look and pine away ... lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We met at a volleyball tournament. He was good - used to play for Great Britain schoolboys and I was mediocre. He was from Liverpool and I was crazy about Liverpool accents and Liverpool football team. I went to visit him and he took me on the "Ferry 'cross the Mersey". When he came down to London, my dad surprised us all by putting Jimmy Osmond's song, "Long Haired Lover from Liverpool" on the record player! Happy days!

Oh TT, you sweet lil Osmond girl. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I met my future spouse on match.com

And I met the yucky ex one in a bar after going to a show with my girlfriend. Like Believer said, not recommended. No, no, no.

In line for a roller coaster at King's Island.

I met DH my freshman year in college...we became friends, he was living next to my boyfriend at the time...we broke up, and i went home for the summer...

Got back to school the next session and we'll still argue about who called who...was together from that day forward...

At a disco bar in the late 70's. It was my first time in a club. I first saw him on the dance floor. My DH is a dancer, used to teach dancing. He says he could have taught John Travolta a few moves. Remember the train? Anyway, I was with my best friend and I looked over at her and told her that's the man I'm going to marry. We met (danced), went home together that night and the rest is history.

A fellow disco duck! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I met my W at a bowling alley in Phoenix. I was on a bowling team with her stepsister (and three other women). SS was on a mission to get me married...first she introduced me to a friend...no spark. Then she introduced me to my W's sister...we went out once, good conversation, but no spark.

She said "that's okay, I have another sister" and brought her to the bowling alley a couple weeks later. W actually turned me down the first time I asked her out, but the rest is history.

Interestingly, SS went on to have an affair on her H because she "wasn't happy", got divorced, remarried, and now "isn't happy" again. Who knows.

I was single and in the military, but sick of living in the barracks, so another single guy and I decided to setup a bachelor pad in a trailer off-base. He was a good friend, and was one of those 'too good looking to be true' guys that women fell over.

She lived in the trailer across the street, but had been staying with her mom for a couple of weeks so we didn't meet right away. She saw him walking his dogs down the street, and decided to come over to use the phone. (She thought he was HOT...LOL) When she came over, all three of us started talking, and amazingly enough she became more interested in me than him. She realized right away he was a BS'er, but I wasn't working anything with an agenda. So he ended up spending time with her younger sister, and she and I got along right off.

We knew that we were in trouble when I went to borrow her vacuum cleaner two weeks later and ended up spending four hours standing on her porch talking...LOL!.

That was 20 years ago this coming up June! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We both worked at a gourmet food gift shop and deli at a tourist trap "village" in the foothills of Golden, Colorado. I worked the night shift and she would stay over for a little while to help me because I was practically hopeless at handling the dinner rush (Custer managed better at The Little Big Horn).

It took me 2-weeks to work the nerve up to ask her to coffee. She was so beautiful and I thought way out of my league. Our first date was drinking coffee at a Dennys until 1:00 AM. That was 27 years ago in September.
