Where/When did you meet your husband/wife.

[Verde]

Met my wife at Jack-La-Lane (can't remember the spelling) when I was 17. Took her to my Senior Prom a month later. Not much has changed in 20 or so years. Just one website, 2 dogs, 3 kids and a white picket fence.

Did you just say you met your wife at Jack Lalane?? that's...interesting. lol.

[BwanaZulia]

Met her in college... Spanish class during the summer...

I was immediately the "friend" and it took me 7 years to break that curse, but I did.

Now, married for 4+ years, have a 2 year old daughter and couldn't be without her.

the "friend" position is one of the most impossible to break out of, somewhere between "peeping tom" and "paternalistic college professor." you deserve much esteem.

Only I could meet my wife in this manner.

I was working night shift at the time and was going to meet some friends after work for a few drinks. I pulled into the bar and didn't see their car so I went home, pulled into the driveway and was ready to walk into the house when I decided to go back and have a beer anyway figuring I since it was the local bar in town I would run either run into some other friends or I would just have my beer and head home.

Well sure enough I run into some friends that I hadn't seen since HS. They introduced me and we just kinda made small talk. My wife goes off to the bathroom and her roomate says that she thinks I'm cute. Well okay, whatever. So we all are talking and drinking and having a good time when the roomate heads off to the bathroom.

5, 10, 15 minutes go back and she doesn't come out. My wife goes in and finds her passed out and pretty much out of it. So since I am the only one really sober at the time I take my wife and her roomie to the local emergency room where the roomie gets her stomach pumped.

So I take my wife back to her apartment and tell her if she needs anything to give me a call.

The next day her roomie calls and tells me she left her shoes in my car and could you drop them off. So I go and I talk to my wife and ask her out to lunch one day.

From that point it just took off from there. 18 months later, we were married and now with 3 kids are living happily ever after.

Just total fate I guess. Going to the bar myself was something I very rarely if ever did and the one time I do I bag a wife. Whod've thunk it.

How much did you pay her?

[johnny green balls]

wow he just called your wife a whore.

[crackbackblock]

The Wooden Nickel, North Brunswick NJ. I showed up at my largest customer one Friday to do my twice weekly take the general mgr and plant mgr. out for lunch (4-6 hours of drinking and liars poker - it was the 80's) to find we were persona non gratta at our regular playground/restaurant. It seems that the day before the plant mgr. had grasped the amply endowed bartendess by the buttocks and the restaurant mgr. took umbrage and gave the bums rush to my client's - but not before one of them one punched the guy and put X's in his eyes. Needless to say we had to find another venue. I had heard good things about the Nickel so we went there and my wife to be had just started working as the hostess after she was done teaching for the summer. Our server served as cupid and the rest is history.

Wow, the Wooden Nickel. Haven't heard that name in a long time. When I used to go back and visit friends that was one fo the places we would meet. Ahhh memories.

[vanDoug]

i really thought at one point in my life that i had found the perfect one, the one that makes you forget any other woman even exists, the one who makes you do all the dumb sh#t because you just want to do it for them, the one who is the sunrise and sunset.

I think most relationships start like that.

Some just last longer than others.

Me?

I'm hopeless.

Neat story, it was destiny.

Yes I was waiting for that. True though. It is ironic since I am such the picture of health these days, hahaha.

[NJ]

Thanks Thai - it really was. I lived down the shore and had met a ton of females, but it was destiny and I knew it the moment I saw her. The funny part was the server asked me for my phone number after a bunch of them decided they were going to fix Stacy up with me. I was reluctant to give it initially because the server was about 5 mos pregnant and wasn't wearing a ring. She finally coughed it up that it was for the hostess and then I couldn't write it out fast enough.

You can't blame the guy, he heard that you're used to having things put in your mouth.

I know that place!

[JetFanByMarriage]

well, to be totally honest and take the porner hat off, i really thought at one point in my life that i had found the perfect one, the one that makes you forget any other woman even exists, the one who makes you do all the dumb sh#t because you just want to do it for them, the one who is the sunrise and sunset. It was a highschool sweetheart on and off thing through 9-11th grade. Then we got back together after freshman year of school and as i ended my cancer treatment. We were together for over 3 years and it was perfect until all of a sudden one day it just wasn't. I think it was her nerves with graduation and overbearing parents pressuring her to pursue a life she didn't want any part of, but whatever, it ended out of nowhere and i haven't found another that made me feel that way since, so yeah, that was 8 years ago i guess. I am lucky because i at least know what it is supposed to feel like when you find that person and i won't end up with the wrong one who doesn't make me feel that way, but i am kinda cursed because it seems to be very hard to find. So now I just assume if that is not attainable, I am gonna wait, the kindergarten class of 2007 will be ripe in 18 years yo!!

You know what Joe, You surprise me everyday!!!

Don't give up, there is someone out there for you.

Just to clear the confusion, I worked there and Max came to visit with friends.

I think Joe has to be very careful. The first cut is the deepest. If you keep waiting for something to match that first experience you can pass over the true Miss Right. I was a bitter man for a bit myself. I met my wife at MSG where we both had/have side jobs. At least I hope they take me back when I'm back in NYC.

[DHJF]

My dorm room on the first day of my sophomore year at SUNY Cobleskill. She was a freshman and was assigned to room with a female friend of mine from high school. Said friend stopped over to say hello with my future wife in tow.

[Mrsjetfan13]

neighborhood, but went to different schools. We hooked up at a party one night and our first date was Feb. 13 ( a Friday), 1976 ! Gee I don't feel that old !

[Maxman]

Not my best work and please accept my apologies in advance for anyone that I offend.

Other perfect matches:

Verde: He was working in the gym I lift at. He was the towel boy that would wipe down the sweat from the machines and benches. I always liked the way he wiped the sweat off of the incline bench. He was a natural and it was at that moment I knew I had to have him.

Garb: I was giving a seminar and he was one of my students.

GOB: I pulled her over at a traffic stop and things just took off from there.

Smizzy: She was the artist that gave me 45 of my 89 tattoos.

Thor: I went to her dance recital and we just hit it off. I had to wait 9 years to ask her out but it was definitely worth it.

JoeBabyNY: Met her on the set. Sure she was a skank but this one was different. She carried herself in a way that made me want to make her my own. Financially it was tough for us at first. Losing your top earner is never easy.

Faba: Normally by the time I get home they have expired. This one, she could survive on such a little amount of oxygen. I untied her and told her that I loved her. The way she laid in my trunk and didn't put up a fight really set her apart from the rest. I actually set her free but she came back. The saying is true I guess.

SeniorFlaJet: It was right after the depression and she had the best donkeys this side of the Mississippi.

Ecurb2369: I met her at my toy rocket store. I actually asked her out several times and she said no each time. But I wore her down with my persistence. By the 2,000th time she said yes. She later went on to tell me that was the longest day of her life.

Panzer Division Marduk: They don't have girls where I live. Maybe next year.

Johnny Green Balls: lol, nah I can't do it. EDIT.

Green Jets & Ham (for old times sake): Me and the boys were at this swinging club in the city. It was the late 70's and this was the new hot spot. All the cool cats were there. This girl served us our drinks and she was all class. Looked like a movie star from the 30's. I asked her out and she said no. But she was definitely the one for me.

Did your braces lock? I hate when that happens.

[drago]

you should probably run with scissors at the next opportunity.

i think that would be best for everyone, maybe with a gernade (no pin) might also be effective.

[124]

Not even with her yet but right now the new cashier at my part-time job while in college. Shes amazing.

I like all of your stories guys, really interesting stuff.

Damn I should have put 124 on my list:

124: She was the cart girl that worked the shift after me. I used to make sure the parking lot was full when she took over so I could watch her run after all the carts.

Ahh, definitely no bitterness at all, that went away a long time ago thankfully. And I am definitely open to new experiences with new people, I just think now I have the clarity of the general feeling I want to have towards a person, not so much trying to find someone like the old one.

I'm not implying you're bitter. I was bitter. Though I'm generally an angry ****er anyway. I know that I was open to new experiences with new people, but I kept thinking it'd feel the same as it did the other time and it never did. Not looking for the same kind of person, but the same kind of feeling and I don't think it was out there. Eventually, I found what I was looking for, but I hope you're not an old bastard like me when you find it.

"Clarity of the general feeling" That's good stuff. Off for an aperitivo.
