Gasp. Let's be together for ever!
This actually came from an idea from Celes thread about her meeting Alan and how it was nervous for an hour and what not.
I met my husband online but that's not what this thread is about!
This thread is about what happened or how things were when you MET them! So, if you met people online and then met IRL and dated, met people Irl and dated, or just if you have a potential meeting you want to talk about and share how you think it'll go, THIS IS THE PLACE.
Before I had met Bruce (Le Hubby) irl, I talked to him for a couple of years online. Well~ Before he got on the bus, when he was on the phone with me he warned me that he would probably be quiet and so if he didn't talk much, just don't be to worried.
Well, I went down to Milwaukee at around 7pm even though his bus wasn't suppose to arive til like 10pm, hung around a mall, had a drink at applebee's to calm my freaking out nerves (but only one drink because I knew how he felt about drinking and I admit I liked the drink alittle more than I should have).. well around 9pm everything closed down so I walked down to the bus station and sat there for about an hour. Then his bus is delayed by 15 minutes, then by like 30 minutes, then by 30 more minutes. Around an hour and a half of me freaking out and highlighting atleast thirty pages (-pages) of my astronomy book, he finally showed up.
The bus stopped, and he came out and I ran up to him grabbed his hands, then hugged him, then smiled at him and said "I won't let you be quiet!" he shook his head, laughed a bit and then said "Well hello to you too" and hugged me.
He was getting kind of nervous though when we were taking a taxi back to my house because.. well.. I got the taxi guy lost. xD
Either way, he was suppose to leave two weeks later, and then we talked and just couldn't do that. Well.. he clearly stayed, we got married, expecting a baby in september 6th which is a year from the day we started dating, and he's off in the army anxiously waiting to come home to me and our sweet little daughter in November.
SO! HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR OTHER?! =D!? IF YOU HAVEN'T HOW DO YOU THINK IT'LL BE! =D!?!?!
I remember this because this relationship literally was a zeitgeist shift for me
Years of casual relationships means that saying 'I met her in a club' gets boring. Since I'm now single, I'll take you people back in time to when I was 23/24 years old....whoosh!
Oops that was me. Also this is long. It taught me some valuable lessons like how relationships need to be simple and not demanding. It's better to have a relationship that flows naturally rather than chase after a relationship.
Wait, that's not far back enough. Back in time to when PG was 17 years old. WoW 17....That's 11 years ago. I was stupid, asian (unrelated), and unexperienced. Fun times to be in...groan.
So we're in high school. I used to be in the music program, playing clarinet. I never left it, and briefly my teacher suggested I go the path of the bass clarinet. It never happened. At least that would've been more fun (not really, but it's something new). Anyway, instead of going to that year's Kiwanis Music Festival, we went to Jamaica, to visit our Sister school. So it was a for-fun trip. We brought all of our instruments for the purposes of demonstration or what-not.
On the airplane, the girl next to me started to talk to me. We made small talk and I wasn't really interested in her. However she decided to have a huge crush on the PG (wait PG didn't exist then...), and followed me everywhere in the trip, much to my chagrin and the lulzing of my peers. Fun times -_-
Anyway, once the trip was finally over, I was able to escape this girl. However one day, she called me out of the blue. I did NOT give her my phone number and to this day the best I can come up with is that my friends betrayed me by giving it to her (or she called every Chan in the suburban area that surrounds the school). We spoke. I was polite, and eventually I got tired of the incessant calls. In an act that I would still applaud to this day, when she called, I would acknowledge her and then put the phone down. I'd then go carry on my business, come back in a bit, and hang up.
The reason I would applaud is that, for somebody who was ignorant about how to handle girls, this was the best of the 'ass' moves I could get away with. Also it's lulz filled from a very caustic perspective. Also, unless you were socially clueless, you'd get the hint after the first time, not the .. i dunno, 14th
Eventually she got the hint and backed off. We still spoke, albeit much more infrequently, and I graduated high school and moved on.
WAIT PG THIS IS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS. THIS FRIENDSHIP THING NEVER WENT ANYWHERE
Well I'm getting to that, you invisible JERK
Anyway, before some jerk rudely interrupted me, I went to school and found that programming was not for me. I dropped out and worked full time with my father. By the time I was 23, I got really good at telecommunications installation and while the parents kept telling me to go back to school, I was having too much fun and was being paid relatively good money (it got to the point where I made about the same as I do now, but for much harder work, relatively speaking) for a job I enjoyed.
Every so often, I would go to this Azn mall to play video games and um...that's it. One day, I was getting on the down escalator when I happened to look around and saw this girl walking towards said escalator. So I started to scream her name and made a huge commotion, as I was going down the escalator. I wish you guys could see it -- everybody was staring at me and I couldn't care less (as usual), yelling at this girl and stuff. So we met after years and got all caught up with our lives. Actually I don't even remember what she was doing -- she was studying university for some reason or another.
We started spending actual time together, and one day while watching tv she snuggled up against me and I put my arm around her. Easy as pie.
To keep it "PG13" our first kiss was before she moved back to the university, and our first shag was 3 weeks later when I visited her. A few weeks later she came back for the summer and thus began the absolute worst relationship I've ever been in.
But this thread is only about how you met your significant other. So I'll stop. yay!
