Where and how did you meet your S/O?

I've known my wife for 12+ years, but we dated for 3 years prior to marriage.

I've known of her since high school, but never really knew her.

One day I'm at one of those rims and sound shops and I see her there. She was JUST about to buy some way over priced aftermarket wheels for her car and I stopped her mid swipe lol.

I explained to her in front of the store owner how I'm here to pickup my car that they kept messing up and what a shitty job they did with their over inflated labor rates and she listened to me and asked me "well, who do you recommend"?

I had her after that

Exes can be included and tell us why you broke up, if you want

I was living with a prior girlfriend who I just didn't get along with. I bought her a spa day during which I moved all of my stuff out of the place and left.

Literally 2 minutes after pulling away with a car full of my stuff my phone rings. It's my cousin in Florida. He asks me what I'm up to so I tell him. He says "dude, I have a great girl for you! She's new to the area so you should take her around." To which I reply "I just escaped the depths of hell... I'm gonna need some time to myself." The fucker gives HER my number and she calls me the next night to hang out.

We spoke for an hour and agreed to go out a few days later. We went out and both had a nice time but thought nothing of it. She called again the next day to bullshit and see if we could hang out again. We went out a few more times and hit it off. The rest is history.

TL;DR: Blind date

Met at a party. Actually knew and hung out with her years before but lost touch. Reconnected at a friend's party.

Been a little over 3 years but unsure if this is the one.

I met my ex when I worked at the auto repair shop. Manager's wife used to come in, and showed me a picture of her sister, so anytime she came to the shop I asked when she was going to hook me up. They called one night asking if I wanted to babysit their kid with her for the night while they went out. Then 4.5 years later, Billup became single again.


All the other girls I've met so far have been at a bar or Tinder, which has been pretty romantic.

You can wear stuff but not clothes. i.e. a cardboard box, curtains, etc.

I was just about to ask the same thing.


I've only been to night classes at community college, so anything but clothes would be glasses, fake teeth, Depends, and a pocket watch.

Exactly how KingOfJericho said, anything you want to wear, except for clothes. I wore a plastic bag, thats it lol.

My buddy wrapped his "package" in aluminum foil which ended up falling apart so his costume kind of disappeared lol.

Sorry to hear, we made a point of keeping townies out of our house but sometimes they would make it through. It was like a weekly episode of the walking dead. Fortunately none on this particular night.

Funny thing is, my fiance wore caution tape. I should have taken that more literally lol.

Nope. She was actually my (at the time) best friend's date. She gave me her number, and I called her back the next day. I left her a voicemail, but she never called me back so I didn't worry about it thinking she was not interested. Hey, it happens. I went off and dated this other broad for a year, until we broke up and I threw myself a nice birthday party. Lo and behold, I'm pouring myself a Crown and coke from the back of my truck and I hear this girl yelling my name. It was her. She heard that some "hot Swedish guy" was throwing a party. I'm not even Swedish, but wha eva. We got married nine months later, and we've been married for ten years now.

Oh, and guess why she never called me back? When I left her my voicemail, I did not leave my number thinking she'd get it off the caller ID. Turns out she was in an area where she didn't have reception, so got the voicemail but didn't have a way to call me back.
