How/Where Did You Meet Your Significant Other?

Reminds me of my favorite line, a variant of the one above:

“Did you just fall from heaven? I’m only asking because your hair is really messy.”

(Long married, I’ve never had a chance to use it.)

About an Ex, but still a good story.

I walked into ‘my’ bar after work, on Valentines day (night)…the only open chair was next to a gorgeous brunette, drinking a beer and a shot, and reading a book. We started talking, she said she had to leave in 30mins. 2 hours later, I asked her about have to leave…she said she’d changed her plans.

2 1/2 years later, it ended over alcohol; go figure.

Well, maybe just the first part was good.

Met my current girlfriend (whom I hope will one day be my significant other) at work.

Only interesting thing about that story is she thought I was an arrogant asshole at first.

Met her at the gym.
I just started working there and didn’t have the staff’s clothing. I was hanging around in the free weight area where she was benching and then she approached me and asked “are you a trainer?” (probably because she thought “why is that creepy guy always here but never seems to work out” :smiley: ). She would ask my advice on her technique and we talked here and there. I really enjoyed to watch her lift, mainly because it was so refreshing to see a woman actually train heavy in a commercial gym setting (and I admit - because she is beautiful).
I would look forward to the days that she came to train but I never really made a move (I am not exactly good at that). She would ask me questions from time to time and she eventually made an appointment with me to make her a program and go over her technique. That appointment lasted 3+ hours, she gave me her number and we started dating.

I hated the gym where I worked at the time but I i will be forever thankful that it led to this opportunity.

Give it time, she’ll come back around.

Good luck in this pursuit :slight_smile:

This is like having kids and not telling bad dad jokes. Use it on your significant other.

If anyone else wants tips on how to keep the romance alive, just let me know lol

Is she good at summing all people up right away or did it just go that way with you? :stuck_out_tongue:

I gave my wife a nice fly rod. Unfortunately for her, she has never used it. But if she did, she would really appreciate my thoughtful gift to her.

Now I’m saddled with the burden of taking it out once in a while and making sure it works properly. I even had to get her a new reel for it last year.

This marriage stuff can be pretty difficult.
