    Marty and I met online. I had just gotten out of a relationship and was only wanting to chat with people. Same or opposite sex. It really didn't matter to me.

    He requested to talk to me so I said, sure. He reminded me of the men that live around me. He had that look so when he said he was from NY I was really surprised and pretty pleased that he more than likely wouldn't ask me to meet him. I've never been into meeting people off of the internet.

    Well... We started emailing each other and then a few days later he gave me his home phone number, his work phone number and his cell phone number. I thought that was really cute. I told him that he could call me though.

    He did. He giggled through the whole entire conversation. I was so creeped out. What 35 year old guy giggles through an entire conversation? It struck me odd but also kind of made me laugh. Later he told me he was SO nervous because I was so pretty.

    Well, he started calling me regularly. We talked for 5 - 6 hours every single day. This went on for a few months and then he told me that he was in love with me. I felt the same way but still... I never had any intention of meeting him whether I was in love or not. Finally, after about 6 months he said that I had to meet him or else he was done so I gave in. I really did love him.

    He flew out here and spent time with me. We went to dinner every night as well as breakfast in the mornings. I showed him all around Portland. He even wanted to meet my mom so we all went to Starbucks for coffee. (He wanted to do a dinner but I didn't want to give that much time up with him) Lol.

    Anyways, we are still in love with each other though broken up. The distance was very hard but we are trying to work things out. Either him move here or I there when the economy gets better. Neither one of us are working right now which is sucking big time because we want to get together now!

    So, I voted and that's the story.

    I did post the story in that other thread, but I can't tell it enough, haha.

    My last roommate had gotten back in touch with an old friend of hers last year through Facebook. They were talking on IM the day before Thanksgiving when he sent her a link for his brother's band and told her to listen to them. I heard the voice, which sounded exactly like that of this guy Chris that I've been friends with since high school so I was like "What's the band called?" and she said "Water Cure" and I literally yelled "OH MY GOD!!" because that was the name of my friend's band. So I already thought it was really funny how small the world is, so I called him and talked to him for like an hour. I hadn't seen or talked to him in at least a year.

    They ended up inviting us to their practice the following night, and I went so I could see Chris and my roommate could see... well, his name was Chris too but his nickname is Ba. Haha. I had no idea my roommate was talking to Adam (their drummer) about me and sending him my pictures and stuff.

    So we go, and say a quick hi to everyone but I never got a good look at them since I was talking to Chris. They took a break in the middle and Chris gives me a big hug. Then I hear some guy say "Wow, Chris is a lucky guy" and I turn around and see Adam. In my head I was like "Wow. Hot." but I kept it together and was like ".... I'm sorry, who are you?" And he says "Adam. Thanks for remembering" So I knew right off the bat he was a smarta$$. We go back downstairs and while they're playing I say to my roommate that their drummer is wicked hot... and right afterwards she throws me under the bus and tells him wicked loud. He goes "well in THAT case...", JUMPS over his drum set and lands on the couch next to me and says hi. I made a comment about how he had no hair and he says "I rock so hard it fell out." I was pretty much sold at that point.

    We ended up inviting him and Ba out to a nearby bar, just to hang out. We were like a couple of 12 year olds flirting with each other, bumping knees and pushing each other around, making fun of each other. Since it was insanely late and our apartment was nearby, we just let them crash at our house. We were lying together on the chaise lounge, which his legs were hanging off of, haha... and we kept rubbing noses but it took him FOREVER to kiss me, but he finally did. We dropped them off at their cars the next morning and Ba texted me later saying "I don't know what you did to my friend, but he hasn't stopped smiling since we left you guys."

    We've been inseperable ever since. It will be a year on Wednesday

    Lol my boyfriend and i met when both our bands were rehersing at the same time at a rehersal studio. Being the genre of music i play its very rare to see a female at this studio so when he saw me he immediately started making conversation and got my number. He called a few days later and been together ever since!

    Me and my bf have known eachother for years, he was with a friend of mine for about 2 years when we were like...13...so we knew eachother but never really spoke. Throughout school he was my cousins friend. My cousins sort of ruled the roost at school (you dont mess with this family kind of thing) But me, having a different surname, wasn't included in the 'god' treatment! Well anyway, they were friends and tbh my bf never really looked twice at me because I was 'Sams cousin'...After school we started the same college and one day, him and his friends walked into the common room. I was close with one of his friends Reece so as soon as we saw eachother we ran and belly slapped! (like in Will & Grace...or Reece and Grace...however youd like to spin it hehe) He said from then on he was smitten! Especially after seeing the laughing fit that followed!

    Accidently met at a bar, lol

    So I had just withing the last few weeks gotten my divirce finilized from a bad marriage. I was working lat one friday night as a dance instructor. I dance ballroom and sometimes tire of that scene. So after work I decided to hit a country club down the street to do some real dancing. Wasn't looking to meet a guy, just dance. So I was getting hit on by slobbery drunks and was tired and getting out of there early. As I was walking out, these 2 guys said something to the effect of "Hey" or something and I looked back and smiled and kept walking toward the door. They then started hollering "Hey don't smile like then and then walk off, come back". So I wasn't, but then said what the heck, they were metal heads and not my usual thing, but seemed cool. So I stayed and talked a bit. As soon as I met Niel (my bf) I said he reminded me of someone, one of my exes. I thought he was cute, he had long hair, all one length to his back, but again not my type, plays guitar in a metal band, and I hate metal. Certainly couldn't imagine him doing a Fox Trot or Salsa. So I flirted a little, he walked me to my car, and then kissed me and WOW! We kissed for like 30 minutes and I didn't want to stop, it was soooo sexy. He kept texting me the next day saying he couldn't quit thinking about the kiss and I was thinking the same. We started dating, and I are practically inseperable. Turns out he wants to learn to dance is is letting me teach him I'm so in love, just goes to show you never know.

    Let's see...he was the first man I dated after my divorce....we met on EHarmony...emailed for a time...we decided to progress to phoning, and I told him that I was old fashioned about it, he would have to call me first - HOWEVER- the new puppy had chewed the phone so if I tried to flip it open, it would hang up. Still, he had to call first..lol....he did, and he left a sweet vm, and I called him back....we talked until the next morning, and pretty much repeated that every night for tooooo long....

    We were so alike in what we were looking for, and had such good times...but now I'm back to the single life....that story will come some other time, perhaps...
