I met Angie on Sunday, January 3 1981, 1412 (2:12 PM) onboard the USS Puffer (SSN 652), in Pearl Harbor.

You ask how I can be so detailed in my recollection? Well it's like this: She had seen an ad in the paper for a public open house on a destroyer. When she was on the destroyer, she saw the submarines on the other side of the loch and snuck over to get a closer look. Puffer was the first one she came to and I was the topside watch. I called a buddy up to give her a tour. After the tour I discovered she was not a U.S. citizen, which was a major violation of regulations, so I had to marry her to set thing right.

I know the date and time because it is in the ship's log. Somehow that volume disappeared from the ship a couple of years later. I have heard rumor that some incredibly romantic couple stole that log as a memento, but I wouldn't know anything about that. True story. “One ping – one ping only” Captain Ramius

Mc B. It's the second oldest bar in NYC and twenty years ago it was abut rougher around the edges than it is right now, tucked way deep on the west side just north of Canal St. The lovely bride lived upstairs from the place and went there with her sister from time to time. I went there because I worked in a plain clothes unit on the Lower Eastside and it's bad business mixing that kind of business with pleasure. One enchanted evening, a wedding at the bar we met two kids and twenty years later. Oy such a thing!

Lame in know but we both worked there at the time so that makes it alright. Haha, i was working at the calender kiosk owned by my employer (borders) at the time. She was with her friend who apperently loves Twilight because as soon as she spoted the calender she made a B-line to where i was. I laughed and made a joke about how apperently every teenage girl HAS to love twilight and she (my now girlfriend and friend of the twilight obsessor) say that not all do and that she cant stand it, from there we procede to talk of our mutual distain for the book, we hit i off, and i ask her for her number. We started dating the next week. Its been almost 4 months and still going strong. :)

Yes, I'm a hick, whats your point?

This Bella chick is a freak.. she's hot for vamps and werewolves.. Making out with Edward one minute and kissing Jake the next. My 12 year old niece was reading them UNTIL I pointed out some of the passages to my sister. Not for the younger readers in my opinion

I walked in and there were dozens of possibilities, and I wasn’t even looking but this guy caught my attention from the start, that blonde curly hair, those dark eyes... it was 15 years ago and we're still together. Only problem is, he can be a wee bit jealous and come at someone like a rabid spider monkey if he thinks someone is hurting me or the grand baby... see attached picture

I was in a band called SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY. I played bass. I rawked. Truly, I did. I met The Evil Queen™ at one of those shows. When I saw her, it was the first (and last) time I was ever rendered speechless. Hubba-hubba.

I was newly stationed at Kadena AB Okinowa Japan and was still getting to know people. After about a month I had some really good friends. They kept telling me I really had to meet Jeromy, he was TDY (Temporary Duty) in Alaksa. Apparetnly he was the smart ass of the group, well at least the most intellegent smart ass of the group. When I did meet him, he was in our friend Mike's dorm room. His first question was "are you married." My reply was no. Then silly Mike had to chime in "she spoken for." Well that didn't last. We were out drinking and partying at a night club in northern Okinowa. After dancing in the parking lot and just acting silly, he said "I don't know what Phil can give you (he was the guy i was kinda dating at the time) but I can give you a life." With that he stoled my heart. I mean how else can someone from UT hook up with someone from WV, why in Japan, where else.

Yes I said it, too much sex. I really enjoyed this series until Anita was turned into a sucubus and then it's sex, sex, sex, did I mention sex.

Awww this was a sweet thread! I think I'm on page 20 and beginning to think the thread I am looking for is not on the General topic. LOL

I hear that my name will be mentioned in Nocturnal! Pre-order a copy TODAY!

You really want to know? Shadygirl and I were kids together and shared a back yard. We didn't date though until after I was working and she was finishing up her college gig. My family moved away in the years between, but my job brought me back to the same neighborhood we were kids in. We were reacquainted and the rest is history!

Awww, what a cute thread.

I met my fiance online...we were both on a.....wait for it....

no keep waiting.....

I'm really drawing this out here people.....

a wrestling website...yes like WWE stuff. Anyway, we were introduced through a mutual friend on the site who informed me that it was Stephen's birthday, said he was turning like 24 or 25 or something like that. I figured, well that's perfect that's about my age. I had just had a very nasty break up with a guy who slept around with my best friend...the best friend who then broke up with him to let me know that she really was in love with me...awkward! Anyway, Stephen and I had spoken before several times and I knew every time he was seriously flirting with me but I was always in a relationship and not interested. But we started talking and I teased him asking if he was turning 50, hanging around all these young guys. He said no, he was turning 18....my jaw hit the floor and I thought he was kidding around. There was no possible way he acted or sounded even remotely close to 18. But I reasoned that it didn't matter if he'd only been legal for 8 hours or 8 years...legal is legal and its not like we were in a relationship anyway. We started talking to hours upon hours every day and were in a relationship before long. With me living in SF and him in Britain, it was a bit difficult but we made the best of it by talking every day on IM, phone, or webcam. We met in person for the first time on our first anniversary. We got engaged 6 months after that when we visited one another again. We've now been together and visiting in person as much as possible, while still talking on webcam or IM every day for countless hours, and our 4th anniversary is coming up shortly. Hopefully in a matter of months he'll have his visa to move to the US so we can finally be married and stop all this overseas nonsense lol.
