How did you and FH meet?

Fh and I actually lived on the same black (the building right next to eachother), he was also friends with my bro (but I didnt know him). I went to lounge/club on Varick Street and he was working the door as a favor to his friend that night. I recognized him and he looked at me like what are you doing here (he told me later that he didnt think I was old enough to be in the club). That night I told my bf that he was the man I was going to marry and she was like 'yeah ok he doesnt even know you exist' lol.

About two weeks later, I went to the same club and he was there hanging out. We started talking and I told him I was going to another club the next night that he should come. The next night came and I was so tired I fell asleep and didnt go. When I saw him again he was annoyed that he went that night and I wasn't there and I apologized and just hung out the rest of the night. A week later he called me and invited me to dinner. That was on a thursday and he was going on a ski trip the next day for the weekend. I thought for sure he wasnt even going to call me for a long time.

He kept texting me throughout his trip and actually called me before he was even home to tell me he wanted to see me. Fast forward 4 and a half years later and we have been inseparable.

ETA: he also told me he didnt think anything was going to become of our relationship because I was 22 and he was 35 at the time.

FH and I actually met at a club. That has to be the LAST place I ever thought to meet anyone. First of all, I don't go to clubs and 2nd I don't talk to guys at clubs. It's funny because I was planning on going miniature golfing that night but my friends talked me into going out with them. He wasn't planning on going out either and his friend got him to go out. We finally get there and I am dancing with one of my guy friends. My friend walked away to take a break and my sister and friends were dancing close to me. Then suddenly I see Dave coming up to me (he's 6 foot 2, so is taller than a lot of ppl) and he just puts his hand out to ask me to dance. We talked until about 4:00 in the morning and that's how it started and here we are 3 years later. I am always telling him how if he was like any other guy in clubs who just comes up and tries to grab you, I would've never even spoken to him. Lucky me that he was a gentleman. It was definitely meant to be.

Anyone ever hear of Hot Skates in Lynbrook??? FH and I both worked there for many many years. We didn't really work together for the first few years, then he switched positions, started working together, and we started hanging out after work, this was 7 years ago. We haven't separated since.

i LOVED hot skatessss!!! LOL

Background info to us meeting:

I moved to FL in the beginning of August 2006. The 2nd week I was in FL, I was out with one of my friends when she got a phone call that there was a party at a hotel on the beach. All I knew is that it was 'some guy's birthday' and anyone and everyone was invited. We basically crashed this guys birthday. It was like a friend of a friend of a friend's birthday.

At the end of August, I got a Myspace message from a random guy (FH) who saw my profile and saw that I recently moved to FL. We quickly found out we had a few mutual friends...small world. We sent a few messages back and forth and arranged to get together with a bunch of our mutual friends. The first time we ACTUALLY met in person was in the parking lot of a bar called Crabby Jacks and the rest of the night is history! (I usually just tell people I met FH randomly in a bar parking lot...FH gets embarrassed because thats not really how it happened)

The funniest part about it...it was FH's birthday party that I crashed...but never saw him.

FH & I went to HS together. He was in my lunch period & always used to flirt w/me. I was VERY shy in HS so I could hold a conversation but had no real idea that he was interested in me 'that way'. Boys intimidated me so I pegged him for one of those sex crazed HS boys that just wanted a notch on his belt. Once day close to graduation, he made a comment about the way I looked in a pair of jeans, (now mind you I have NO memory of this) he said I unleashed the fury of hell on him and sent him running for the hills.

TEN YEARS AND 3 MONTHS LATER.........

I was working as a receptionist and FH walked into my office and was like, 'Hey I know you!' We started chatting (I had no idea who he was) and he asked me to get some lunch the following day. I agreed and during lunch I realized he was flirting w/me (DUH) and began to flirt back. He walked me back to my office and asked me on a date, I agreed and we met @ Dave n' Busters a few nights later. In between dinner, drinks & playing games, FH asked me if I still had the birth mark on the palm side of my pinky finger....no idea how he knew about it but figuring he just saw it I said yeah why? He then recalled a memory of me in HS when I came down to the nurses office b/c I had burnt my hand in chem class & he was there and asked if my hand hurt & I snapped back at him OF COURSE IT DOES.....I started to fall in love w/him right then in there and oddly enough I too started to remember him from HS.....we have been together ever since.

We met in High School! We were 'hi/bye friends' I actually went to my FHs senior prom with one of his friends (as a friend) and some how Anthony and I ended up slow dancing . . . Through the years we kept running into each other, and we would joke that we should hang out but we were always dating other people - in February 2004 we ran into each other at a bar and decided to go on a date and we have been inseparable ever since!

Some background info...
FH and i went to sunday school together when we were kids but we never spoke to each other, he was always the kid who would sit in the back of the room and fool around and i remember even thinking, omg whats wrong with this kid?

So anyway, we never spoke to each other but i'd see him around church sometimes here and there once we got older and sunday school was over. About 4 years ago, it was the 50th anniversary of our church so there was a dance at the surf club. My sister and I werent going to go because that wasnt really our thing and only our parents were going. FH's mom was in charge of the whole thing and she really wanted everyone to go so a few days before the dance she finally coerced my sister and I to go as well even though we werent happy about it. Well finally the night of the dance came and my sister and I were sitting at the 'young people table' cause thats where we were put. Our whole table was filled except for 2 seats next to me. In walks FH and his brother and I see them coming to our table... I was like omg that annoying kid from sunday school better not sit next to me... but since that was the only place to sit, thats where he had to go... So he sat next to me and the rest is history!

Sorry this is so long!

We met working at the MET (I love saying it that way, lol), almost eight years ago. We both worked in the visitor services department taking visitor donations. Life is funny because I worked their for two summers and didn't meet him until my second summer their (although he says he remembers me from the first summer). I guess God wanted to make sure we were both ready for each other. I always checked him out but never thought anything would come of it. Then we started talking and he would come visit me at my cashier. Finally as the summer was about to end and I was about to leave for school, we got put at the same register and he pulled out his new phone to show me and asked if he could put my number in it (I know real smooth right, lol). A week later my birthday rolled around and he remembered to call me for it and here we are today.

We met on Singlesnet.com. We e-mailed each other for about 2 weeks (about 100 times a day),chatted on aim a few days, spoke on the phone for about a week and we went on our 1st date about 2 1/2 weeks after we met. Its been a love story since!!

first off, let me just say how cute and interesting it is to read all these stories about how everyone met. i feel like everyone's story is unique in their own way and says a lot about you as people and your relationship.

anyway, after i graduated from HS, I left LI to go to college out in Chicago, IL. i always planned to move back and live in NYC when i graduated. i always thought i would meet a great boy in college or whatever... but all the guys at my school thought they were so great (they weren't), and it just wasn't happening.

finally, my junior year of college, i decided to try online dating. this was back when it was just really starting to become a thing that was accepted and a lot of people were doing, at least from my perspective, anyway! at first i did this paid site, and i met a couple people, but i was getting tired of it, so i decided to try craigslist, which was really becoming popular as well at the time. at first i responded to a couple guy's posts and went on a few dates that way, and then i decided to just post my own ad, and then have guys respond to me. so i got about a zillion emails, most of them from weirdos/creeps, and i weeded it down to about 3 or 4 decent sounding/looking guys.

FH had emailed me, and i thought that his picture was cute, but i thought that he was too old for me (he was 27 and i was 21) also his spelling was terrible, which is a big pet peeve of mine! but then after the other dates just didn't really pan out, i was like well i guess i'll give it a whirl. so i emailed him and we started chatting online and then decided to finally meet up. the day of the date i was just like so over it - by this time, i had been on probably at least 25 dates w/ different people, but i was so stubborn i refused to give up until i found someone decent! so i didn't even like care about my outfit or whatever.

then FH showed up to pick me up at where my internship was located and we would go to dinner. he had just moved to Chicago from upstate NY like 2 months prior to us meeting, so he still didn't know his way around that well, esp. since he has a terrible sense of direction!! he was so nervous that he lost where he parked his car!!! and we spent like 10 min walking around looking for it i was like ok this guy is seriously weird!! but the date managed to go well, we had a goodnight kiss (!!) and then he asked me to go out again.

we went out again like 2 days later, b/c i was leaving to go home to LI for like 10 days. that date was probably one of the best dates i ever had (he said so later as well). we went to the art museum to a special exhibit, and then walked around the park next door holding hands & kissing! it was so amazing. but then i had to go to LI. i was sure that he was going to forget all about me, in typical guy fashion, so i kept my hopes in check. well, the whole time we were in LI, we chatted online, talked on the phone, and texted! we made plans to hang out when i got back. when he came to pick me up from my internship that day, i was so excited to see him i could barely contain myself!! he was sitting in his car trying to be all mr. cool but of course i later found out that he was excited too.

sooner or later we were spending most of our free time together... and later that year he asked me if i would stay in chicago and we could get an apartment together. he wasn't ready to move back to NY yet because he just moved from there! well i decided to stay and the rest is history... 4 years later and we are engaged and still living in chicago!! who knew i would find the love of my life on craigslist??
