Welcome to Gaia! ::

We first met through my best friend, who was my first real friend after moving to a new state and new eighth grade class. He thought I hated his guts when we first met. xD I don't remember our first meeting. Fast forward to sophomore year of high school, fall Homecoming. He'd been talking about me to my best friend, and she gave me a little heads-up that he might ask. I was like "lol, ok," and we went to the game together that night, and walked to the dance afterward (football field is some three blocks away from the high school). On the walk over, he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I said yes, of course. But oh Lordy, were we ever two awkward nerds. xD We didn't dance much, 'cause neither of us really know how. And the thing I remember most, after the asking-out, was this lardball with a not-so-great attitude and a fouler sense of hygiene who came up to me and asked me to dance. I, being the terribly shy prude that I was, hesitated and looked over to my date for help, and Taller Half jumped to the rescue with a simple, "No, she doesn't want to dance."

And so began our relationship. I wasn't really expecting it, but I was, as aforementioned. I just didn't expect it to really go anywhere. My persona was the academic overachiever with a lacking social skill ranking. The girl who would go, "O_O What the hell are you doing asking ME?" when asked if a guy was hot or sexy or cute.

Over time, we grew up and fell in love. And here we are, seven years later, never broken up, happily married, and with a baby we adore. emotion_yatta

I met my fiance through a friend (who i'm no longer friends with) at school.
They happened to sit by each other in History class, which I was also in and sat next to my (ex) friend.
He asked me out a couple months later and that was that.

Been together for five years, engaged for almost two months.

Met him at work. Played video games all night etc. eventually developed feelings. Went to a carnival and started relationship

How did you meet your husband?
--I met him at his house lol, my friend was dating this one guy, we were hanging out and he was like hey let's go to Kyle's house, so we went over there. And played perfect dark on n64...wasn't love at first sight, but definitely interested...I love n64, most guys are like yeah let's play Xbox not hey let's play n64. We got drunk and hooked up at a party about a month later and starting seeing each other

Were you expecting it?
--not really but suspected it, kinda planned on it, when we were on our way to the party my friend was like "you're gonna hook up with kyle tonight aren't you" I just smiled...who knew he'd be so willing lol

Did you even think the relationship would go anywhere at first?
--no we were in a non committed sexual relationship for about a year, 8 months in I fell in love, everytime I asked him to be my boyfriend he said no but we could still be exclusive, he just didnt like the title idk we acted like boyfriend/girlfriend, but I got sick of it and broke up with him. We missed each other like crazy and got back together a year after we broke it off, and have been perfect together ever since, got married, have a baby, our own place, it's perfect

Your friends actually aren't that far off! When I met the man I'm now engaged to, I had no idea we'd be dating or anything like that. I was only 17 and he was 25, so neither of us had any intentions of going after eachother. In fact, he's probably the last person I would have considered dating because he was known for being really talkative and annoying. xD
That and, at the time we met - I wasn't looking for anybody. I was just focused on getting through school, saving up money, starting college, and diving in to a career. I figured relationships just weren't my thing. I had the kind of "if it happens, cool, if it doesn't, whatever." attitude.

We met at work one day while he was covering for another cashier and I was sent down to a nearby register. At that point I'd seen him around before, but had never actually talked to him before that.

Like I said, I wasn't expecting a relationship at all because I was so focused on college/starting a career. When the relationship did start I didn't know how it was going to go. But when I enter any relationship, I have the intentions of making it last and so did he.

ℜinny says: Thanks, I've been living with him for two years and things are great.

I first met my now fiance on Final Fantasy XI on the Lakshmi server about ten years ago. We weren't fast friends or anything, I thought he was an uneducated country bumpkin. His spelling was horrible, grammar was not much better and he didn't come off well in text.... at all.

Three years into playing FFXI together in the same linkshell (kinda like a guild/group) he told me that he liked me more than a friend. I basically went "lol.... ok...." and left it at that. But a few months after that he told me that he wanted to fly down from Kentucky for my 20th birthday and I figured, why not? He's a friend.

Well, I fell for him in person.

Nine months of dating long distance (spending a chunk of change on plane tickets), he moved to Florida to be with me. We have been together for five years and getting married on November 1st.

Honestly, I didn't think it would work between my fiance and I before I met him in person. He didn't seem too intelligent, he didn't really know much about the causes I am passionate about and so forth. But oddly enough, I fell for him like one of my cats and a can of tuna. He is better educated now (I got him to crack open books, zomg!), he comes across 100% better in text and he can hold up his end of a debate.
