Where did you meet your Signficant Other and advice for others

[specialmom]

Haven't had one of these in a while, a just for fun question.  Where did you meet your significant other?  How long did it take before you knew they were special?  And advice to those who would like to meet someone . . . good ideas of where to go and how to make it happen.  :>)))

I think I've told this one on MedHelp before, but my dad and I were working together, and our firm was hired by my now-husband's firm to do a job. So, I was introduced to my husband by my father, how is that for nice and old-fashioned? My dad didn't see us getting together, though, and was a bit surprised when we did. He saw our general talkativeness as "needing too much attention," never realizing that two talkative people doesn't mean two needy people, and that if a person is talkative, they find another talkative person refreshing. (I guess he figured it out, though, when my marriage lasted longer than any of his.) Advice? Choose someone you could be friends with, first.

When i was married to a great guy and i cheated on him someone whom i fell in love with..........i moved out and after 3 years relationship with that guy ended badly........ My ex was the kindest person on the earth to take me back and now i am in love with my ex more than anyone in this world........ He is still boring but i know that he is the only one for me  as no one could be better suited for me..... I truly regret my cheating and improving my marriage day by day.......... Never indulge into cheating if your spouse is a good person..... Now my ex is again my current husband and my soulmate........... Moral is unless your marriage is abusive, never take divorce and indulge in adultery......... I fell safe with my hubby

My husband was friends of friends.  We weren't set up because no one really saw us 'together'.  But we hit it off.  We met at a big party in our community and then bumped into each other a few weeks later.  I asked him to dinner at my favorite Italian joint.  

My advice . . .  find someone respectful of you and your feelings, someone you can share a laugh with, and it's good to meet someone at something you both enjoy doing.  You'll always  have that shared activity in common.

I met my husband at work.  We were friends for many years before anything became of it.  I was his material handler back in weld so would bring parts to his area.  We would always engage in small talk.  We got to talking about the weekend and he asked what i was doing.  I told him nothing.  He said the fair was going on and would i like to go for something to do.  I said sure why not.  I told him i couldnt leave my dog alone very long so it would have to be an early night.  He told me to bring her along.  I came over to his house with my dog.  She walked in and plunked her beagle butt on the couch!  I was nervous, he was nervous and my dog was comfortable.  I knew i had more feelings than just friends at that point.  The rest is history!!

I am a firm believer in when you least expect it someone will walk into your life and take your breath away.

Advice to those you want to meet someone?  Dont settle, be yourself, be honest, be real.  Being fake never works out.

I always enjoy reading your life stories, I must say.  :>))))  And when the beagle butt is comfy, that says a lot, right?
