    Default Was it meant 2 be?

    How did your parents meet eachother? and if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, how did you meet her/him?

    My dad is something of a workaholic, he dropped out of school at 14 and has worked ever since. Over the years he's been everything from a sailor to a metal worker to having an administrative office job in a shipping company, which is what he does now. When he was 17 he moved out from his parents because he had gotten a job in a town quite far away, which happened to be where my mother lived. There they met eachother randomly on a subway station. He found her attractive, so he tried starting a conversation. He asked her how much the clock is, she didn't answer, she pointed up at the big clock hanging from the ceiling. He said thanks. After a while he took out a cigarette and asked her if she had a lighter, she did not have a lighter. It was revealed at a later moment that he did in fact have a lighter in his pocket. That was how they first met, later they ended up having some mutual friends and got to know eachother a little more. He invited my mom to come visit him at his place, she didn't know him too well so she was quite nervous on the way over there, and it didn't help much when he opened the door with a pocket knife in his hands. fun fun. Been married for thirty-something years now.

    It's not many years since I heard this story so I was very amused by it. Makes me wonder how my grandparents met too etc. Gonna have to try find that out.

    That's so... romantic! :kaobeg2:

    My parents met at work when my Mom was 19 and my Dad was 20. They worked at an office not far from the city. They dated for about 7 or 8 years until they got married.

    On my Mom's side, my grandma was about 17 and my grandpa was 28 (oh dear, loli D: ) and they eloped because her parent's didn't approve of his age, or that he was Protestant. On my Dad's side, I'm not sure how they met, but it was kind of romantic because she was like a rich sort of girl and he was a farmer boi.

    They were part of the same dart club at the Canadian Legion. They got married two months before my birth.

    My parents met at work; my dad was going through a bad divorce (his ex-wife was an alcoholic and the black sheep of her family), and my mum was a bit naive for a 25-year-old (by today's standards). She couldn't really understand my dad's Scottish accent, and here I am...

    I met my ex (who I might want to get back with, if he can sort his head out, I don't know...) at a bar my friends and I used to go to a lot. I am the only one out of my friends who lives anywhere near it now, but I no longer go as the service, prices, and clientèle have gotten worse.

    For the record, my dad also left school at 14, legit. That's how old he is... :rolleyes2
