Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How did you meet your significant other

#1 in college. We lived in the same town 300 miles from school but had never met. She heard I was going home one weekend and asked for a ride. We started dating and got married when she graduated 3 years later. We had 33 great years before the big C got her.

#2 on an online Christian dating site. I posted my profile and got a response from her less than 30 min later. We just celebrated our 15th.

My wife's brother was in my class in high school. She is 4 years younger than he and I. At that time she was a very cute little tomboy always trying to tag along with her brother and me. I could tell she had a crush on me even then but of course she was much too young at that time. Well, I went away to college for 4 years and when I returned home, wow, had she grown up nicely. We started dating after she graduated high school and have been together ever since. Been together 35 years now.

Watched her and her friend getting in their car. I wanted to meet her, so I just backed into her bumper. Exchanged info, called had a soda, started dating a couple days later. That was back in 72. Third time was a charm!

I'd call that Providence.

We met in the checkout at a grocery store. I talked her up some, met for beers. Married a couple years later.

Clear Lake Lodge. I asked her to dance and she said no.

We were happily married raising a family for 38 years until cancer took her from me.

Knocked on a door and she answered 33 years ago.

honky tonk , dancing , she ask me to dance ... some weeks down the road she brought me underwear and a toaster .. I knew I was in trouble then ... about 10 months later she asked me to marry her .. that was over 25 years ago ...

Broke up with a gal and about two months later, a fraternity brother of mine that was engaged to a sorority sister of my future wife, set us up on a blind date. The one that I had broken up with was in the same sorority😳 It was for the Red/Blue Spring football game in 1970. That could have been a disaster but we hit it off. She’s a pretty good conversationalist so she was good at filling in any awkward moments.

Married in Summer of ‘72. We’ve been together ever since.

I met my late wife back in late 1966. I was working for the Post Office the time and she was one of the temporary Christmas hires. I was working the third floor where they handled packages picking newly filled dollies to be sent to the basement to be loaded into conexes when I happened tp look across the room and BAM!there she was staring at me.When I stop to think about it, the part where Micheal Corleone first saw Appolonia comes to mind. Some years later we were taking about that night and I told her that when I saw her, I planned we would marry on the spot. She told me she had that same thought. She passed on March 12, 2019. I miss her still.

Electrical engineering lab. I asked her how to calculate phasors.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasor.
While she was explaining the math, I was noticing her.
There were 600 men and 6 women undergraduates in EE.

Back in the dark days before the internet, there were personal ads in the back of the regional farm magazines.
She listed, I called and left a message.
When we met, I took one look at her while the bells rang and the birds sang and I went woo-hoo.
That was over twenty five years ago.

Met my wife of 34 years while working at Old Faithful Yellowstone Nat Park

I guess sometimes cash IS king! 😳

Skyway bar, Idaho Falls, 1981. She was with another guy. I bought her a drink that night and she winked when she said "thanks". A couple days later she showed up at my work and I thought to myself "I think she likes me", and the rest is history.

I asked her to dance at a service club convention.

At my cousins wedding.

In a moment of weakness, we bumped into each other on our way to rehab. I was headed in for drinking and she was an incurable nymphomaniac.

We've never been happier.

Well now that surprises me dude, ‘cause I figured…from your own stated and well-known proclivities…you mighta met her at the Golden Corral All-You-Can-Eat Buffet.

I was in high school and she was in college. We worked at the same restaurant but different shifts. Ended up working with her one weekend. She was working with my sister the following week and was talking about a guy she had worked with the weekend past. My sis said that was my brother. We dated and fell in love. Been married for 35 years in January 2 kids and 6 grandkids. Been the hardest thing we ever done making a marriage work. But I knew I was going to marry her
after that first date.
Paul I like butts also and she has a nice one. Lol and no I’m not posting it.
