Story: How did u guys meet and get together?

Original post by MrsLarrea2B

well... I will go first:

Me and FH met when we were 13. I was a student at his fathers karate school. 2 years later there was a corny halloween party at the karate school. I decided to bring my friend Ana. FH was busy macking it to my friend Ana. FH and I had never spoken up to that point. Anyway, the next day I am home and it was him on the phone asking about my friend. I told him he didnt stand a chance b.c he wasnt blonde w. blue eyes. He said , 'oh well, so whats up w. you' LOL.

Anyway, we talked for a few months, he was going through his parents divorce and things at home were pretty bad. I became his little counselor. Anyway, one day, his friend in the backround screams '__Gus is in love w. ___Erika___' I laughed it off(thought it was a joke) . Apparantly FH was very embarrassed b.c it was true. He figured if I wanted to pursue things I would call him the next day. I did call his house, but his stepmom picked up and never gave him the message. Soon after that, FH was kicked out of the house and I never saw him again until....


I turned 22 and decided that I wanted to go back to karate to get my black belt. When I saw my sensei (his dad, FFIL) he goes, 'wow, ur back, guess who else came back yesterday? Gus. '
So there we were on the floor trying NOT to stare at each other. He had gained like 70 pounds since we were 15 and I had put on my fair share as well. We barely said hi to each other and basically ignored each other after that. I was beg. to wonder if I had made up our 'friendship' when we were younger. I figured he had always been a conceited prick, why would he have changed now.

A few months later my bf of 2 years and I broke up. I was back on the market and FH had lost 50 pounds and was looking very yummy.

Later that summer we both happened to show up at a mutual friends b-day party at Webster Hall. I believe I was supposed to hook up w. that mutual friend that night (LOL) . But once I saw him, there was an obvious change of plans. We finally began to talk again and once he got comfortable he said to me 'hey, didnt we used to talk when we were kids?' I said yes. ' yeah, didnt I like you or something?'.... this is when he told me that his friend wasnt joking. lol Anyway, a few minutes later, we were leaning against one of the columns of the dance floor near the stage. He had his arm around my waist, I leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Next thing I knew his huge mouth had nearly ****** my lips off. lol. It was prob. the best kiss I've ever had.


Maybe I will take FH's last name after all... I just remembered how much I love him.

UPDATE:
Thank you all for sharing your stories. For those of you who shared or are about to share, I want you to think about the series of events that lead you to be at the 'right place' and 'right time'. Its funny the way things work out. Im sure nobody thought that when their friend woke them up in the middle of the night, it would be to meet 'the one', or how a silly prank call could really be the call you make to your soulmate. It is a miracle that these events even took place. Whether it your FH was just a click away or a random drunken hook up (LOL) ... it worked out.

At the library!!! how SAFE is that lol lol lol lol

He is a computer technician and works at a library that I started working at when i was going for my masters... we worked together for over a year and we were just 'friends' like 'Hi, how are you Friends' nothing more!!! he had a g/f at the time(which I didn't realize was someone that he KNEW he SHOULDNT BE WITH and REALLY WAS DONE WITH IT) and I had a bf at the time...our 5 year relationships with our EX's ended about 2-3 months apart from one another. I started talking to him when his first ended... and tried to give advice, etc... and then I started to confide in him about my problems with my current bf. and what i was concerned about ... and we became the CLOSEST OF FRIENDS... and once my relationship with my ex was over the CLOSEST OF FRIENDS became an US!!!!!! i remember him telling me one night when i was still with my ex.. but didn't want to be anymore... 'I want to kiss you in the worst way' and it made me MELT.. I knew I HAD TO BE WITH HIM.. and i amsoooooo happy that I am

Pat and I met in High School. I was in 10th grade and he was in 11th. It's so weird because back then, we were SOOOO different. I was labled a 'JAP' and he was this 'gothic' kid. He wore a trenchcoat and had long hair. But, we were friends even though we were complete opposites and the weird thing is we liked eachother. LOL. But, we just used to go and to lunch together and hang out. That was pretty much it. Then later on in 2002, I ran into him. He looked SOOOO good. He ditched the black clothes, but his hair and cleaned up real nice. I was instantly attracted to him. The bad part was I was in a relationship so nothing happened. Then, my ex and I broke up and I needed a date for my sister's wedding. I was telling Pat about the situation and he was like 'I own 5 suits- I can pick one out and be your date.' I was like SCORE! So we hung out every single day. 2 days before the wedding, he asked me to be his GF. Then the wedding was our first date. The North Ritz Club was our first date and it is the place where we are having our wedding

Re: Story: How did u guys meet and get together?

I was living with a roommate at the time. Her boyfriend one day told me about a friend of his who he had shown my myspace page to and wanted to meet me. I was in one of those 'im an independant woman' state at that time so i was like okay whatever and didnt pay much mind to it.

One day my roommate's boyfriend pops up out of the blue and suggests we all go to lunch with his 'friend'. My bestfriend was at my apartment at that time and i was like okay but we ALL go. and we did. I met my FH and was very cool about the whole thing. I was chatting a mile a minute and he was his usual quiet and reserved self. I kept thinking in my head 'we will never work, he does NOT talk'. we exchanged numbers anyway and he would call and ask to hang out but i was always 'Busy'. eventually I gave in and decided to take him up on his offer for dinner. I told him I would take care of the reservations. When i got in his car he told me he had made plans and i told HIM that i already had plans too it turned out we both made reservations at benihana's in the city. lol we had a nice time so i agreed to see him again.
NOW for this second date, he went ALL out! HE had a car pick me up after work and take me to a spa for a one hour massage (ive been hooked ever since lol); then we had dinner at B. Smith's in the theater district. THEN he took me to see CHICAGO, FRONT ROW while USHER was playing in it. i was AMAZED! i had mentioned i liked usher and i thought to myself wow he actually LISTENED! After that date we have been inseparable! How could u not love a guy who does that??

Re: Story: How did u guys meet and get together?

Brian and I met when I came to visit my friend at school in FL. We were hanging out and her Boyfriend(now husband) and a bunch of his friends came over to her place. Me and Brian hit it off and haven't stopped talking since. That was in 2004. Ill never forget calling my mother at the airport and saying 'mom, I met a boy' We did the long distance thing for a while. Now Im in FL with him hopefully temporarily. But Brian is my soul mate and our relationship has grown strong because nothing has been easy for us.

Re: Story: How did u guys meet and get together?

I was home in my pajamas one night when my friend called and said she was going into the city to go to the birthday party of a guy she started talking to on myspace. I said 'OK GOODNIGHT' and she was like 'please please please come with me I don't want to go alone' I kept saying no until she said...'I'll drive!' So I got ready and she picked me up and we went downtown. We get to the party and FH was there b/c he is friends w/ the guy throwing the party but FH was also doing security b/c both he and the b-day boy worked there. So FH is the 'ID' checker and I give him my ID and I ask where the coat check is (b/c I had just bought a brand new WHITE coat) and he points to this dark little closet that no one is watching. And I say 'Who is watching the coats?' He says' Me' I say 'No you are checking IDs' He says 'No I'll watch it' So I give him my new white coat and he puts it on the bottom rack where it was touching the floor. So I flip out and say 'You can't put a white coat there!?!?!?!?!?' He takes it off and puts it on the top rack. I walk away roll my eyes and mutter under my breath 'what a jerk i hate that guy'.



Then I didn't see him the rest of the time and I left a little while after.

So I get an email from the guy whose b-day it was the his friend liked me...and I was like 'who mr. attitude? who almost ruined my new coat'. He says yes and tells me to give him my number....so John calls me and asked if I'd go out with him, I said yes and we went Bowling at Bowlmor Lanes.

We've been attached at the hip every since!!!!

Re: Story: How did u guys meet and get together?

my friend used to date this guy (only for a few months) and he was not the sharpest tool in the shed....one night us girls were driving around, bored out of our minds so we started prank calling - somehow we decided it would be funny to prank my friends ex (this is like 2 years after their break up).....so we call him and say that we're HOT, we got his humber and we really want to meet up with him and we'd pass the phone around and talk like a phone sex operator....we finally convince this guy and his friends to meet us (at this point we dropped off the other girls, and its just me and my bf - the girl who's ex we are calling).....we came up with the funniest plan - we would tell the guys to meet us at one place and we would park the car a block away and watch them look for 'the girl on the phone'.....we did this like 3 times in a row and we made them go to all these different neighborhoods....at one point they saw us! and there was a bit of a car chase! so finally after doing this over and over we finally told the guy that it was really us and we met up with him and his friends for real....so the two of us meet up with this car full of guys in the middle of the night.....i stayed in the car and FH was outside of the car but he kept staring at me! almost like a mean stare and he kept having the sniffles and wiping his nose and i swore he was coked out of his mind - i even said to my friend, *** is up with this guy he keeps staring at me and i think he's on drugs i did think he was really cute though but was totally turned off by his weirdness......i eventually got out of the car and i made small talk with all of the guys....somehow FH and I ended up in the front seat of his friends car and we talked and he was really nice and def mysterious....so i made my friend call her ex to hang out again and we hung out a few times with all the guys and i had a major crush on FH (and he had a crush on me ) eventually he kissed me.....and still to this day he always has the sniffles and im proud to say he does not do drugs hahahahahaha.......so we met from a prank phone call - kind of strange hahaha

Re: Story: How did u guys meet and get together?

Wow! Great stories girls!! Ok so me and FH met in August of 04 in College Choir haha! He was sitting in the back row drinking a lipton sweet tea and whistling. He whistles through his front two teeth and it can be pretty annoying. So I turned to him and said can you please stop whistling haha. So everyday in choir we got a lil closer, he would walk me out to the car and what not. He was in a theatre group at the time and they were having a performance in October. So he asked if I would go to the play. So I did, ALONE and it was so awkward, but afterwards he invited me out with his friends and I found out that he was really interested in me and couldn't stop talking about me to his friends. So we started hanging out together, first with friends and then just us...the rest is history. He is my soul mate. I thank God everyday for taking that dumb choir class!

Re: Story: How did u guys meet and get together?

I love this thread!!! So many beautiful stories!!!

FH and I met in a chatroom online. He had begged me to meet him for months but I was seeing other guys and didn't take the whole AOL thing too seriously lolz. We spent hours upon hours online talking everynite and we'd give eachother dating advice and everything, all the long he was trying to get me to give him a chance but I just wouldn't cave. We became the closest of friends. My friends Grandmother died (I considedered her my grandmother also) and he was the best support system I could have asked for. We honestly stayed online talking from around 11 at nite til 8 in tha morning when I'd take my little brother to school...I have no idea how we went for months without sleep but we did it. He would always say to me 'Your my GF, you just don't want to admit it yet' and one out of the millions times he said that I finally said, maybe I want to admit it now. And that was it. It was online and everything lolz. We started going out on March 4th 2002 and we hadnt even met yet (how silly is that?!?!) and we met in person on March 10th. I met him by the train station because my house is hard to find and we just keep looking at eachother and smiling, he took my hand right away and we walked the whole way back holding hands just really, really happy. It was the weirdest feeling in the world because right away we felt like we've known eachother forever..
He brought me 3 teddy bears and a polaroid camera (he knew i was obsesessed wit pics and wanted to take a pic of our first day together). My family are huge Mets fans and FH is a yankees fan but he brought a Mets hat just to impress my mother lolz....it was so cute. I actually fell asleep on him while he was here because I was so tired from no sleep the nite before, I just felt beyond comfortable with him right away.
That nite online he told me that the second he took my hand he knew he wanted to hold it forever...and from time to time he'll just tell me that story our of nowhere of how he really knew right away that he never wanted to let go. Awww I love him!!!!
