How did you meet your partner?

February 4, 2007 3:31am CST
I met my boyfriend of three years on a website called Elftown. We are from the same town and he had seen me walking home. He looked me up and we started chatting. By the middle of the week we were texting and we met at the weekend. We were only together for a few hours on the Saturday and on the Sunday night he came over to my house and asked me out.

Well my story will be long. IT was at my friends place n its was his younger sister. around 5 years ago were i met her. Her parents did run a shop those days so i used wake up morning at 6 and run to the shop to help them. Cos there my best friends. Well I used to ignore my best friends big sister n the younger. Because i was kinda sensitive to girls n i didnt like to talk to them much cos i was afraid i would fall in love n hurt myself. Well sometimes went N i kinda felt some weird feeling inside me. So somehow when i went one day to her house. her grandma brought a piece of cake. N said to me Share with her brother and her. So I cut it into 3 parts. 2 small n 1 big. I gave the big part to her. Than her grandma asked why did you give her the big part and was it cos she was dark or cos she was like sister to me? Well I answered because I like her n becouse she is dark. I was surprised because i totaly said it witout thinking. So somehow that day i went to home with a big smile on my face. i couldnt take that incident out of my head. So since i used to started to go to that shop because of her brothers. I started than going to that shop because of her. So I used stay there until the shop was closed. Well sometimes later i started talking to her. N we became friends. She used tell them that she tought i was proud etc.... N i explained her the situation that i didnt like much to talk. But anyways we used talk alot after that. I guess more than 8 hours i was with her. When i was playin at the PC. She used to come and hug me from behind. N at night she used to hold my hands. in the shop. I was young n she was younger than me. I didnt realize that i loved her. Until one day she was ignoring me. When she went to school she used to say to everyone good bye. but she never did. N she never came to talk. Well I kept on waiting several days but all the days same thing. I started to think that she didnt like me as friend anymore. And whenever i went to home I cried becos i could speak with her. n one day at night i asked myself why do i cry that much. N thats the moment i Realized i LOVE HER. Well Later somedays i brought some Chocolate to her home. N when i gave her she refused. N i was hurt kinda n i tought tis is it lets forget about our friendship and everything. lets be the old self who doesnt care about girls. So somehow i told her sister that i was upset cos her sister was ignoring me. Well her sister has gone n told to her that i was crying its seems that she didnt take the chocolate. She came running n ate the chocolate n gave a piece to me too. N we went to aside n she asked me did you really cry. I said no and suddenly i started crying. She hugged me said dnt cry. N told we are friends forever. She kept her head on to my head and look at my eyes. N than she told me that her mom has complained not to stay much around me becos she was still young ppl might thing something. Well anyways after somedays. it was around 2003 June I told her sister that i Loved her. She asked "wot repeat it again". And I said I --- LOVE --- YOUR--- SISTER. so somehow she was supporting. One day she asked her sister wot do you feel about ME. She said he is like brother to me nothing else. After that her sister told her that i like her. she didnt believe it she tought that her sister was testing her n trying to get to know what she was feeling. So she said no. Later on tat day her sister n she came n suddenly her sister asked me you said you loved her in front of her. I got red in a second. I couldnt say no. So I sed yes. somehow she still didnt answer me. well some on the 14 june 2003 on a full moon day. We used to put some songs and used to ligh alot of candles. Well at time she went asked her brothers if they allow n have nothing against it she will love me. Well somehow her brothers werent against me. On that day I and my girlfriend a lite alots candles holding our hands. So thats the day i met my first love. since taht its been 3 n half years

Well I will tell you as long as you don't tell my wife. I went to a church here when I first moved here 30 years ago. I had an interest in a particular girl and asked her for a drive home one day after church but she had plans to stay later for another function going on, but she said her friend would be happy to drive me home. Well I married that friend and we have been happily married 25 years April 2007

He was working in the same place as a friend of mine, about 20 years ago! We met at a few work social occasions over the first year, but both of us were divorced, and did not want to get involved in a new relationship. Anyway - when my friend got married, we both went to the weddng, and we both had enough to drink to make us say and do things we would not normally have said (LOL!). We moved in together a few weeks later, and have been together ever since!

We went to school together, but I knew him through a friend. He picked me up at my house on voting day, and he forgot to tell me that the back end of his car swings a little when he turns sharply. I spilled coffee all over my pants. :P This was 2 1/2 years ago, and he still reminds me of it to this day (we didn't start dating until recently, but he loves telling the story about how we met...:P)

I met my future wife at the station, in a springtime day,in 1984.I was to a party the previous day,I saw her standing there alone and I had the courage to make the approach, telling her that I was a newspaperman and I wished to interview her. In the meantime, the train arrived, I took a seat next to her and when we got off the train we were already friends. To be continued...if you wish to hear

If it happens then we ll be in a bad situation cause house hold people start questioning and the way he behaved by coming to the house is somewhat not fair on his part so i think he need to be told that in case if he has something he need to inform or send a message such that he needs something what ever the situation might be cause in that case you ll be safe and happy or else you might suffer.

I met my wife in my boarding house during my college years. She's a friend of my female boardmate. When we first met, I didn't mind her as I was very focused on my studies. But 3 years later when she broke up with her first boyfriend and we had a chance to meet again, I noticed she was very beautiful. Then we started dating...

I met my last boyfriend on a website called Gaydar; we started chatting and talking on msn, then we met on the week end, the day after my birthday so he brought me a present...a cd with some songs. He was so sweet and then at the end of the date we kissed. We have been boyfriends for 8 months, then he left me, maybe 'couse i was too stupid to understand what i was having in my life and treated him too bad. After a cuople of months we met each other again and started to be friends, but he's not in the idea to be toghether again...now we are best friends from one year and i care him a lot. Maybe he's the most important person in my life now.I'm still trying to find love...where are you, prince charming?!?!?
