She moved in my neighborhood back when we were younger. She was an early crush. One date in school, but never went anywhere. Lots of common friends. Few years later we ended up both going to the same college, starting dating, and the rest is history. It was several months before we had sex and I was her first and only. I'm not overly huge, but even with my girth I didn't really think I had much for size back then (pre-Internet days). Taking a woman's virginity is highly overrated for anyone that has above average girth, no matter how slow you go. Got better and better, but that first time was horrible.

Online... google's dying social experiment.... G+. He lived in Chicago, I lived in Philadelphia . He was trolling my posts.. haha We "internet" dated 1 year before we ever met in person. In fact, I didn't meet him in person until he moved here! Haha.

Our families thought we were being catfished. I wouldn't have changed a thing.

We've been together 3 years, married for 2 and have a 1 year-old daughter.

We were both dancers in a semi-professional Balkan dance troupe. Ironically, we were never dance partners in the choreo, but we quickly discovered we liked to move together under the sheets. FWIW, our 36th anniversary was a week ago.
EE2014,
Great post, and I am really curious about what a 'Balkan dance troupe' is: would you please elaborate--I'm sure I'm not the only one that would be interested in your reply.

Here's a nice explanation of Balkan folk dance that I found online. Note that I do not know this organization, it just came up in a search and this page gives a nice concise answer.

And here's a visual for you. This kind of stuff:

That said, I got very interested in folk dance in high school (early 1970s). It was a Physical Education class and since I hated sports I tried it. A very few guys like me did the same and we took a lot of shit from the jocks but hey, it was a great way to meet girls, girls who appreciate guys who can dance. My future wife was doing the same thing at the same high school two years behind me. When we met a few years later she was already a member of a local group that was performing in costume with live music. They invited me to join (they auditioned new dancers simply by watching people who were dancing at big community events) and the rest is history. We stopped dancing in the troupe a few years later and got busy with kids, jobs, et cetera.

Facebook. He flirted up a storm at first. One is generally always open to someone attractive doting on them. Things took a bit of a conversation/sexual path. He mentioned not wanting a relationship and I stopped putting in effort because of it. A week later I was sitting around all "fuck this" so I started calling him every night after work.

We're a year in, I quite like him.

I met my girlfriend on an internet dating site 7 months ago. She found my profile and sent me a 'like'. I looked at hers and chuckled when I read what kind of guy she said she was looking for.
'I've got to apply for this job,' I thought. I re-read her profile and liked everything about her. She's arty, intelligent, fit...
We swapped messages through the site, then several emails, and within a couple of weeks we met at a location half way between her house and mine. We sat in my car and had coffee from a flask, then went for a walk round a nature reserve. We took a picture of ourselves with a river in the background (we look so sweet and excited). Then we had a picnic lunch in her car, and not wanting our day to end, I took her for a drive in my car. She chuckled and said that her friends would think her mad for getting in a strange man's car, then asked if I was driving especially smoothly in order to impress her. I laughed and told her I once worked as a bus driver - the sort who likes his passengers to have a comfortable ride.

We met during the senior years of gymnasium, equivalent with high-school. Actually wasnt really interested in him at first, had a crush in another guy during that time but he was already taken and that broke my heart. And at the same time my now hubby began nagging about a date but I frequently said no. But he was really persistent and never stopped trying to ask me out so I finally said Yes just to end his nagging.

And during our first date he showed a whole other side of himself and that took me by suprise and we went on several dates after that. And he took me to play and teach me tennis because that was, and still is, his big passion. And that made him even more interesting to see him in his right element so to speak. And after a while I wanted him to try horsebackriding with me because that was my biggest interest back then and I think thats when I realized he was something special because he felt really genuine with his feelings towards me and showed great interest in my hobbies and life etc. The thing was he didnt had the best reputation back then. He was kind of a bad-boy always getting what he wanted, especially when it came to girls so it was most important for me to find out he just wasnt playing with me.

And it took quite a while until our first kiss and maybe three months after our first date we became gf/bf. :)

I saw her on my first day of school, she was wearing a long black skirt with lily flowers and white daffodils, with a white sweater and heels with dark nylons. The time it took me to get up the nerve to talk with her is kind of an embarrassment. Eventually we shared a classroom at the same time while she took choir and I took art. I was splitting my time between the art work required, which I flew through, to enjoy the remainder of my class time in the sound proof room practicing guitar. Guitar was, at that time, my obsession, and it consumed me for at least 5 hours everyday. I was and am still a music junkie, it is a part of me just like my nose, or my foot. I depend on all three, everyday to help me enjoy life. She felt the same, and would steal away in to the room with me. She began to learn to play and would come to shadow or inquire for a bit of a lesson. It was my in, and I didn't waste it. She wasn't like the others, she made me work for it, and I did. We were both 14 when she finally consented to date me. We were so young that we went through many tough experiences during our early time together. But through it all she was there, never got distracted or went on temporary hormone induced taste testing trips. I am proud to say that we have been together for 18 years this October, and married for what will be ten years in November. I found out through her loyalty and blue collar approach to relationships, that even the most ill-contented, wandering type men can be melted and satisfied in the shadows of love, so long as you marry only your very best friend. She is as much a curiosity to me now as then, and she makes me want to be a better person even now. I cant imagine what I would have done or who I would have become without her in my life, because the pursuit of her smile has motivated every choice that I have made.

Thank you for this thread, I love telling people how we met, and I love talking about her..

I love our story and I love telling it! I had been a single parent for almost 9 years and had given up on dating not to mention looking for a mate.

A girlfriend invited me to an exclusive performance of a pretty popular band at a small venue in Atlanta. These guys were known for drawing large crowds, and I loved their music, so I said sure. It was a very intimate experience, but I was just immediately taken with the bass player. To this day I can't explain what the attraction was. It was just there. After their first set they took a break, and my friend asked me if I was having fun. I couldn't answer because the bass player walked off the stage and came right up to me.

He fed me a line beginning something like "I don't normally do this..." and I'm thinking "right, but I don't care!" We chatted during their entire break until they called him on stage.

He had his sights set on me, too! We agreed to see each other after the show, but when the crowd got up to leave we lost each other, so I decided just to leave with my friend when he comes running up to meet me and asks if I was still free.

I haven't been free of him since!

Every so often on our anniversary I send flowers to my friend!

We met at a party after college. I didn't know anyone there other than my buddy, who had taken me along with him. He was like, 'there's this really cool girl who's going to be there, you'll really like her.' She and I started talking and never stopped for 20 years now.

It wasn't a "set-up" on the part of my buddy. The two of them were friends with benefits, an arrangement that continued after I met her because we didn't actually start dating for a couple months after that.
