Just for fun; I'm curious to know how everyone met their significant others? Or if you don't have a significant other now, how have you met/picked up/been picked up by someone?
![]() ![]() Any favorite pick-up lines? Favorite spots? |

I've been single for almost a year, but all of my past relationships have started online. *shrug* What can I say, I'm an internet nerd.

I had just gotten out of a "relationship" with a guy I had really like for a couple of years and we had been just friends and I though were moving it to the next level. Apparently I was the fat girl fling, cause he dropped me in November and married a Carly Simon look alike in January. Grant had also been my friend for a while and started coming around the camera store I was managing more, taking me for coffee and lunch. Showing up to eat his lunch while I was in the darkroom(yes in the darkroom) working on University Photography projects. I wanted nothing to do with any man after being stung. But he was persistant asking me out and I would have girlfriends meet me there, for a while Grant thought he had a harem LOL. When we finally started dating on our own( I gave up the protective gals) he took it really slow with me knowing that I had been badly hurt. To the point where one night I finally confronted him about what exactly is going on here. We have been going out for a month now and you won't let me pay for anything, call me all the time jsut to talk, and yet you have never made a move past holding my hand. It was a long speech but broke down to this Are we friends, do you want more or whats going on here? I know I am having feelings other than friendship, but don't want to ruin a good friendship. He simply reached across my lap opened up the door and said I have been thinking about the same thing Good night. Well I went in the house that night and figured I blew it would never hear from him again. But he called on his coffee break mid morning and said I blew his mind cause he had been rehearsing the same speech and was so flabbergasted that he didn't know what to say.
Things moved fairly quickly from there. Within a couple of months we were engaged and married Sept of 1985. We have had a roller coaster ride of a marriage and almost gave up a couple of times cause of the immense pressures and problems we encountered. But still together after all these years as the song goes.

I've met my ex's in multiple ways though none quite as romantic as young girls hope for in life...
A few online, a few through friends, a few through class/school, none that I can think of where it was just totally random romance. The political event someone mentioned above reminded me of a guy who gave me his number after we volunteered together at an event... but nothing ever came of it for sure. I'm anti-romance 99% of the time but I admit, I am still hoping for that random star struck love moment... eyes meeting across the room and all that jazz. Fingers crossed. Toes too, maybe. |

Dim chat as well. I, however, cannot belch the alphabet. I make up for that with sarcasm and candy.

My first bash, actually. Wasn't looking for anything and yet here I am, living with him 700 miles away from where my place of residence was when I met him.

I clubbed him over the head and dragged him into my cave... er, so to speak.
Right here on the Dims boards, only the old ones. We first met here in late 1998 - early 1999. ![]()

The three significant relationships in my life have been: blind date, lived in the same dorm at college, and met randomly at a fetish club. Hookups have mostly been guys from the intarwebs.
...you know, it sounds kinda sleazy when I say it like that.
