It started out as a mutual acquaintance playing match maker. (A coworker's wife wanted me to meet her friend). I agreed but, it never ended up happening.

We met months later by pure luck it seems. Our first date was a 4 hour round trip to pick up my 2v from the tuner. I brought them both home and neither one has left. Ha!

We've been together almost 3 years, and were married in October.

We met early in our junior year in high school. A friend arranged the meeting at her locker. She was very shy so the initial meet was awkward. But I called her that night and after a couple of weeks of talking (and walking her home from school), we started dating. We still talk about our first date (a sorority scavenger hunt) and our first kiss. We celebrated our 50th anniversary this past June 22.

Here's a recent photo of THE love of my life. God created her just for me. For that, I'm eternally thankful.

Sort of a long story. When I had just gotten divorced and moved into an apartment, I had one obnoxious nieghbor. One Sunday morning, around 5 am, I hear Jimmy out in the parking lot. "Red" he would yell, "Red, are you up?". This shit went on for 15 minutes. I had gotten in about 3 am, I was tired, hung over, and alone. I was not in a mood for this. I decided that if this asshole yelled out one more time, I was going to kill him. Sure as hell, "Red, you gonna help me?" Red used to help get the Sunday papers ready for his boy to deliver. That's it, guy has to die. I got up, put on pants, and went out into the parking lot to kill Jimmy. Luckily for Jimmy, Red also came down. Now there was a witness, so I couldn't kill Jimmy. Jimmy introduced me to Red, and asked me when I was going to get married again. I told him it would be a cold day in Hell before I got married again. Five years later, Red and I packed up our friends and family into a party bus and got married in February in Hell Michigan.

The only really interesting one I have is of the blonde, Taylor, I posted recently in the wives/gf thread. Met her at my squad leader's wedding back in 2011 or so. She was a bridesmaid and I was sitting in my seat when we locked eyes and basically just stared at each other like we both automatically knew what was going down. Preceded to get pretty drunk as there was a heavy influence of Marines there so it was oar for the course, and I later found her on the dance floor but she had now changed into a strapless sun dress. We danced for a while, still not knowing each other's names or anything but we were having a blast and enjoying the mutual attraction. I stepped away from her for a second to grab my drink and cool off and as I was standing off to the side of the dance floor with my drink she was still on the floor in front of me dancing seductively for me so I was just enjoying the view. Dont remember what song it was but apparently it involved some bouncing motion because the next thing I know her dress has malfunctioned downward and Im staring right at her tits... perfect! She pulled her dress up acting embarrassed but I know she really wasn't lol.

Just a few moments later some guy comes up and starts bitching at her for something I have no clue about and she is dragged off. I dont know what the deal, or even who she is, so I keep drinking and having fun hoping I will catch her later. I do catch her later that night and we are still flirting but by the nights end I only know her first name and know that she has a boyfriend apparently, but he seems like an asshole (he was) and that was that.

Couple weeks later I am still thinking about het and so I ask my squad leader who she is since she was his wife's bridesmaid and he gives me her full name but doesn't help me with a number (he was a prick too). So I search on Facebook to find her and there's nothing. I searched all relevant social media and found nothing and no one willing to cooperate had her number. I eventually ran across a Myspace account of all things and saw that it was actually hers! No one used Myspace anymore at that time so I messaged her there only hoping it would get to an email notification... and it did! She replied within a few hours and said she never used her Myspace account but she saw the message in her email alerts and replied back to me and that is how we started dating. Her bf was an emotionally abusive dick so I didnt feel bad stealing her away at that time. We had a great time.
What a dick move on her boyfriends part for stopping you guys from freak dancing. He just sounds like a posessive jerk for not letting her make friends lol.

Our "keys" (learned over many years) are (1) commitment to each other, (2) mutual respect for each other, (3) helping each other, (4) strong unconditional love for each other, (5) solid communication, and (6) strong faith in the Lord together. We make mistakes/have made mistakes, like in all relationships, but we strive to learn from those mistakes. I am convinced that she is my soul mate forever. Just couldn't imagine being with anyone else.

Allow me. It’s actually quite simple really.



I mean you don’t abuse ’em once in a while they’ll shit all over you. I don’t mean you walk around morning to night whackin’ ’em upside the head like someone from the other side, but you terrorize ’em once in a while just to keep ’em in line. Know what I mean? Like sometimes, when they embarrass you in front of your friends, you whack ’em with a backhand. You’re not in the middle of the road like some ****ing animal, but nice, in the bedroom. Ba-boom! “What am I? Some kind of ****ing asshole? Get your coat on fast and you don’t say goodnight to nobody! You understand me?” That’s to keep them humble. When you don’t let them say goodnight to nobody, they walk out looking at the ****ing floor.

FlahDah man.
Wife was a bartender and I was at a medical facility waiting for surgery. I would go down to the local bar and flirting led to snuggling and snuggling led screwing screwing led to love or something like that and the order could be slightly off. 2 year romance before we decided to marry and make babies.

OK Bozos, stop clowning around.

Met her through a mutual friend. The first time we met (small group of us), we barely even spoke. A few months later the same friend had a big bash at a hotel up in Daytona Beach and she ended up there. We actually talked and hung out some there but that was about it. A few weeks later I ended up meeting up with her and some of her people at Rum Fest downtown. Eight years later (5 years married today actually) here were are.

Met my wife at work. I'll never forget the 1st time I saw her. She was walking downstairs at the end of her interview and she didn't see me. Next thing I know it's 2 weeks later and she started working for us. I didn't know she had been hired. I can't explain why but I was instantly drawn to her. I just knew I was happy when I was around her. We became work friends and she would come to little parties I would host with work mates. We were both is unhappy marriages but we never cheated or anything. Next thing I knew after 2 years we were both divorced and then dating. She's my best friend and soulmate. Also she's an amazing mother. We have raised my kids from my 1st marriage and she has always loved them as her own. She's been a trooper when it comes to dealing with my ex. We've been married 11 years now and are closer than ever.

My GOD I don't not want that day to come.

My dad's been my best friend for 26 years. REALLY Been there for me the past 2-3. I've stated before on this forum, if I'm HALF The man he is, I'm doing good.

ugh.



Subject change! Met wifey doing car shit. She had just bought her 15 GT PP, and I had my 04 cobra, and I was meeting all my buddies to go to Caffeine and Octane, and I notice this BOMBSHELL. WITH a black 6 speed GT?

Uh, sign me up.

Couple weeks later she's at the Ford dealer I was working at getting springs installed on her GT. Complimented her taillights she had tinted herself, she messages me on IG, we chat a few times, nothing really happens.

She's back a couple weeks later, as my brother calls my extension (he writes service) and said 'hey your girls here'

so I casually stroll over, and tell her I'm on a food run for the shop, did she want in? She said 'no, but I'll ride with you'

Best part - I had sold my cobra and didn't have a car as I was waiting for my custom ordered S550 to come in, so I was riding with my brother to and from work (<2 miles from our house) in his newly cammed / build c5z, that was in MY name.

I said 'hey man, keys'

He goes 'ok don't rip on it'

As I lay drag for some 300 feet out of the dealership. Moved in after dating for 3 weeks.

That was over 3 years ago. Got many matching tattoos together, and cannot wait to ask her to marry me. And neither of us want kids! Winner winner.


This is a great story about your lady...Nice.

Side note... my old man was my best friend too. Best man in my wedding... we were inseparable when I was growing up.. He died of a sudden heart attack at 63 years old 8 years ago. Think about him every day.

Cherish the time you have with your dad as an adult .... life is short and time is the only thing we cannot buy or get more of.

Lol I dont think him yelling at her had anything to do with me oddly. But it's possible he wasn't going to say anything because it was me and 30 other Marines from my platoon there as well.

She told me he had put his hands on her before so I didnt feel bad about what I was doing.

I worked with a good friend (that I had known since 4th grade) from 1989 -2002. His dad ran the company, and I of course knew his dad since I was in fourth grade. Anyway, I just remember something he said about marriage while I was dating my wife.

He said, "Marriage is not a 50/50 proposition."
"Both of you have to give 100%"

We are broken up now but, one night I was headed off to work and I stopped at a local convenient store to get a drink. As im leaving the store and headed back to my truck I hear a girl yelling at me from a distance from a car. It was dark so I wasn't sure who it was. I was in a rush so I didn't stop. I saw what kind of car it was and asked a few friends if they knew who it was. Found out who it was and looked her up on Facebook. It was a gorgeous girl. I messaged her asking why she was yelling at me and she said she mistook me for one of her other friends who drives a loud white 2nd gen cummins like I did. I said "oh okay" and that was the end of the conversation. Next day, I'm at the same convenient store hanging in the parking lot with a few friends(it was the cool thing to do back then). She drives by and messages me on facebook saying she saw me. I told her you should stop next time. She said ok and I gave her my number and we dated for over 3 years.

We met on a tour bus. Somehow we started talking about science fiction, and BOOM!, we were off and running. The thing about this is, yours truly has always been awkward around girls, the prettier the worse it was. And if I liked her, it was even more awful. Well, here was a beautiful girl I was rapidly starting to like, and I could talk!
