You guys all have such great stories. Our story is long and ugly. It will only make me mad to get into it. So, I'll spare you. Nancy~I'm not a single mom. But I'm a good listener. Anytime you want to talk just pm me.

Me and my husband were high school sweet hearts. I met him in band camp of all things During the summer before my 9th grade year on a lunch break, we both ended up going to the same fast food restaraunt together and my best friend Jamie and I were talking. The next thing I know this hot drummer guy comes up to me and asks me if Ill go play in the balls with him(you know, those children's play place things?) and I said no He thought I was a snob or something since I wouldn't go be stupid with him (he was a complete stranger to me), and didn't think differently until we ended up in the same geometry class. We passed our graphing calculators back and forth writing eachother messages for days. He was really good at math and I'm horrible at it even though I always ended up in the advanced classes (I'm really good at english and other stuff like that... but math is NOT my thing) and so I would always ask him for help, even when I didn't need it. One day he asked me for a peice of paper and then he slid it back onto my desk with "can I have your number?" written on it at the bottom. I was in the middle of taking notes so it took me a while to get a chance to return it, so he asked the girl next to him for ANOTHER piece of paper and wrote "can I have your number please?" again... as if I couldn't read the first one We became "official" January 27.. of... god... 2000 or something. By the end of high school I'd seen our relationship turn from lust into real love and it was great It was funny though because he ended up being the drum captain and I was the color guard captain. Sorry... I'm a band geek He proposed the Christmas of our freshmen year of college, and we got married in June. I loooveeee him! This story made me happy. All of your stories are very cute, even the one's you said were boring... especially Sandy's! That is so sweet!!!

This might be a romantic one to some of you. But it was back before the earth cooled and when dinosaurs roamed the planet. Jamie had toured Germany in a college choir and met several boys. The next summer, one of the German boys visited America and stayed for a week with her parents. They decided to take him to a Texas Rangers' baseball game since he had never seen a baseball game. I was the sports editor of the daily newspaper in Jamie's hometown and her mother called the newspaper to see if they wanted to write a story about the baseball game and the German guy. I was assigned to go out to the house and interview Werner (the German guy) and Jamie prior to the game. I took a photographer with me and we also accompanied the family to the game and took a lot of pictures. Jamie told me later that she fell for me like a ton of bricks (I was oh so handsome back then) and she showed up at my office the next day to look at proofs of the pictures. I asked her out (okay, I fell for her, too) and we went to see the movie "Jaws" for our first date. A great date movie by the way. This happened in April. We got engaged in June and married in December. On December 27, we will celebrate our 32nd anniversary and we are still best friends.

Me and Todd worked together at Disneyland. We flirted back and forth for awhile before anything ever happened. He invited me to a party at his place but we forgot to exchange numbers and I ended up lost for an hour and just went home. He invited me to another get together at his place a few weeks later. He ended up canceling and forgot to tell me. I was the only one who showed up and got frustrated and left. (I was really shy and didn't know what to make of it and he still laughs at how cute he was and how dissappointed he was ). A few weeks latter he was supposed to eat lunch with me at work but the cafeteria took too long and by the time he got back I was back on shift. I told him he could make it up to me with a date . Our first date he made me dinner and took my to a movie. We were official about a week later, moved in together about 9 months later and exchanged promise rings about2 months after that. We plan on getting married in the near future so the rest is pretty much history

Dan and I met the summer of '04 right after I had just spent the summer on a college campus to do some intense musical training. When I was at the school my family had started visiting this new church so I was so pissed that I had to go with them to a new church the day after I had flown home. Well, I got to church and I noticed that the pastor had a couple of cute sons. None of them really seemed to notice or talk to me. Dan later told me that he thought I was really pretty but since he was going back to school in like 3 weeks didn't want to start anything. The next sunday he taught Sunday School and while I was sitting there listening to him I was knew he was the guy that I wanted to be with. I didn't usually fall for his type so it was quite the amazing thing. We talked allot the few weeks he was at home but whenever he went back to school and then concert season started for me we were never able to make it work. Life was just too crazy. I knew if this was going to work it would take something drastic for it to happen. Two weeks before Christmas break the conservative college Dan was going to asked him not to return the following semester. He only had 1 semester left so it was pretty devastating. I was ecstatic. We then starting talking every night for about 5-6 hours because he worked at a warehouse unloading boxes and was on the night shift. I kept him awake all night. There were some nights that I would get off the phone with him while the whole rest of the house was waking up and then I would have to act like I was just getting up too My mom didn't like me talking on the phone that much. In Feburary he gave me a promise ring on a skiing trip. I was so depressed because I had just injured my wrist playing the violin and my doctor told me I needed to limit everything because I had an important concert coming up and I needed to play in it. He felt bad for me so he stayed in the lodge with me the whole time. I don't think he really minded though... I made up for the not skiing and he got a different kind of work out He proposed that Memorial day and then we got married on New Year's Eve. I can't believe that we are about to celebrate our 2nd anniversary and that we have a 3 month old son. Sorry I rambled. I love telling our story.

He was at my friends birthday party, then a few months later he moved in with his dad and went to the same school as me, and sat in front of me in math class. We actually didn't really talk until several months later. Over the summer, I got dumped by my "first love" and was really upset over it. Jacob started talking to me on myspace to see why it was all sad, and he cheered me up. Then we started talking every day, then for several hours everyday... then we started dating, and, well, here we are :]

Um let's see. Thomas and I met through a yahoo chat room..yea I'm serious when I was about 17 years old. We talked on and off for about two years, but I wouldn't meet him in person because I was underage and didn't want to date someone who was already in their 20s. Then when I moved up to college, I was still talking to him, and he would always ask me when we were going to hang out. One night I was really bored when I was talking to him, and he asked to take me to a club so I could have some fun and I could bring along my friends, so I agreed. He ended up driving an hour up to my school to take me to a club for my 19th birthday, and the weekend after that he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. And now, two years later and we're still going strong.

I dont have a boyfriend, single mum here too. I dont ever tell people about this but I'll briefly say what happened with Jays biological father incase anyone wondered, someone asked in my other thread before and I didnt mean to be rude I just dont talk about it. I met him at a concert when I was 16, everything was great for a while, then he became abusive. The police had to be involved. He hasnt been in our lives since I was pregnant. We have no contact for safety reasons, and hes never seen Jay.

A long time ago this crazy girl lived with me and she met Jon online. They were going to meet in person and she was scared so me and my sister went with her. So that is officially the first time I met him. Anyway, after that I never saw him again until about a year later. My sister had been dating this guy for about 3 or 4 months and he just happened to be friends with Jon. Jon came over to visit my sisters boyfriend, but I was sleeping. About a week later my sister called me from work because I was the one who picked her up all the time and she told me that Jon was there with another friend of her boyfriends. So me and her boyfriend went early to pick her up and that's when it all started. We hung out for a couple of weeks everyday and then we started going out. Now we've been together for over 3 years and married for almost 2. He likes to joke that he picked me up at meijer.

The college he went to is Pensacola Christian College. If you google it all you will find is disgruntled students.

Here is his story. In 2003 he was kicked out because of his religious beliefs (he is calvinistic, they are armenian, you can google that too, it takes forever to explain). Because of that he was only allowed half of the demerits a normal student would get.

Well, the dork checked out of church because he was sick (stupid people make you go to their church). Whenever you do that you have to go to something called video church. Dan didn't go because he forgot that he had been sick and they kicked him out. I think the main thing is not that. They were looking for a reason to boot him. They even told him "We don't want your kind here". Okay then Rolling Eyes

This college has issues but I am soooo glad that he got kicked out. We probably wouldn't be together now if he hadn't.

Well I moved in with one of my good friends from school. Her husband was friends with this older guy named Ike. Ike wanted to get with me soooo bad. I met him on St. Paddy's Day and we all got a little too drunk so everyone crashed at our house. My friend's son, Riley, had broken my door knob so it was only a hole in the door. Well, the next morning, I woke up to Ike standing over me, telling me he was taking me shopping. OK! I'm not one to pass up free goodies! Well not too long after that (a few months or so), Ike asked me and one of my girlfriends to come over to his house because he needed someone to clean it up (Bachelors!)... Anthony is Ike's nephew. I've been with him ever since we met that night! Weird story. Ike's still jealous to this day Loser!
