Default Re: How did you meet your "other half?"

All of these stories are so sweet! I love to read these things

How did you meet your mate?
A girl at work in my department told me that my (now) husband had a crush on me lol that he thought i was cute-he was in the graphics department i was the graphic liaison department so we worked close.
Do you feel like it was kismet?
I feel like it was fate NOW but at the time i didnt think anything of it.
When we talk about it now and he tells me that he moved to this state with his then gf and how oddly ironic it was that he applied for a job at a company i was working for in the same department and got offered the job but decided to take the graphics job--only to find out that we cross paths AGAIN at the company were at now! TELL Me that isnt FATE!

Did you know immediately, that this was your "other half"?
Immediately he made my heart flutter so bad and my stomach twirl but I didn't know until 3 or so months later and many dates and many kisses and many long talks on the phone and at the coffee shop that i knew we were so good for each other
Did you perhaps feel just the opposite, at first, and only come around after a while?
i wouldnt say I felt opposite since i did feel something--i just didnt immediately think omg i want to marry this guy, ive never had that feeling immediately w/any guy but after a few weeks with my SO I found that we were right--and weve never had any serious relationship problems since weve been married 5 years. We'll be together forever
Knowing what you do now, would you change anything about that beginning?
as bad as this sounds LOL I wish I would have been intimate with him sooner lol we waited 3 almost 4 months and the tension was killing us I think we could have easily been "together" that first week of dates we had--we hit it off so well and flirted so much! However if i would have "gave it up" soon maybe it would be different--i think he thought it was sweet/non-$lu+ty that I wanted to wait to get to know him more but KNOWING that the sex is as good as it is we could have been having a good time a lot sooner lol!

I met my girlfriend at a bar. I went there with a bunch of friends and the moment I saw her, I was attracted to her. She was the bartender. We talked every week for a month before I asked her out to dinner. That was 5 years ago. We are still together and very much in love.

I met my husband and knew him for about 7 years before we got married. I didn't know he was the one as we were just friends then and I wasn't even looking for a companion then. As we grew to know each other socially we became attracted to each other. We have been married for over 8 years now.

My husband and I worked together. He had asked me out a few times, and I turned him down. A few months later, my long distance b/f moved in w/ me and him and my b/f became friends... my b/f left, went back home.. and me and my husband continued to hang out... we became a couple and 4 months later I became pregnant .. then got married

1. We met in high school. I was a junior and she was a freshman.

2. Kismet? Explain.... however if its to be interpretted as pronounced.... yes, I wanted to kiss her the first time I met her.

3. There were never any indifferent feelings towards my wife. I have always thought fondly of her and have always been attracted to her.

4. I didn't know she was the one then, but I knew there was something different about her.

5. And knowing what I know now... her affair, everything.... I wouldn't change a thing.
