I was feeling sick all day and wanted nothing more than to just sit in bed and watch TV. There was a Kappa Sig party that night and my roommate had to drag me out there. I was on so much medication that I already felt really dizzy. A friend of mine came over to me and kept begging me to take just one shot. I finally gave into him and did. With the medication and not feeling well, all it took was just one shot for me to be drunk. It was so sad. My roommate was talking to this one guy who I thought was so cute. I decided that I would go and introduce myself. On my way over to them, I lost control of my balance and fell right in front of him. He caught me. What can I say? It was love at first sight.  Actually, no, he thought I was a total moron. Luckily, he gave me another chance and we spent the whole night talking. When I left, I forgot to give him my number. A few days later, he called my roommate asking for my number. He called me that day and the rest is history.

I must admit that I once saw a girl who was so stunningly beautiful, when she turned and spoke to me, I was simply lost in awe. I couldn't think of a thing to say and my mind was completely filled by the sight of her beauty. I must have looked like a complete idiot, but, jeez, she was beautiful.
It was a few years ago....I was about 8 , but it's completely true. I lost track of her when we went to different universities, but she always looked fantastic every time I saw her.

Another Meant to be Story
I love hearing these stories!
And now, here's mine:
He was in my grade four class. I don't really remember him from then, but...we ended up in swimming class together at 15. I gave him his first hug (which I found out later, of course!) after I scraped his back on the pool deck when I tried to remove him from the water!! Not terribly romantic, but made an impression  He lived down the street from great friends of the family, so I knew a ton about him indirectly. Forward to university.
I arrive on campus, knowing no one, and my sister pipes up that I should call my now bf b/c he's listed in the campus directory. Why I should call? She has a huge crush on his younger brother! Ran into him throughout the four years, but only got interested the last year of school, when he hired me to work in the kitchen at a popular student bar in town. He was the kitchen manager, I was the pizza girl...and after two months of my mother asking "What about him?" , he confessed his attraction one night after I ended up at his place... "stranded" by my roommates
We've been dating for almost two years and life is sweet.

Blind Date
I met Kevin on a blind date!
At work, every Friday- happy hour- we'd sit at the pub and b_tch how there are no good men out there. Well, one of the guys that had to listen to us rant every Friday fixed me up and .... it must of worked.... we met on October 12th- 1993, got engaged on October 12th 1995- got married on October 12th 1996. We did not plan the baby right though.... he or she will be due around May 19th!

My freshman year of college I made friends with Pete. Turns out our parents used to work together at the newspaper. I knew he liked me but was NOT interested. As we became better friends, he told me about his friend Rob and how I was never allowed to meet him. I shrugged it off and didn't really care.
At the end of the year Pete and I were thinking of moving into an off campus apartment since we both hated the dorms. One day he was to come to my parents house to pick up the listings. Well, he came over and brought Rob.
First impression: Who is this long haired freak in my kitchen? About two seconds later: Long haired freak is kind of cool. Nothing came of it but friendship as we both were seeing other people.
Years go by with us as friends. Two years later (June 7, 1997) we made plans to hang out with a group to watch a hockey game. After our team won, he looked over at me and said "So which one of us is going to tell Pete there's something going on?"
A few "breaks" later we are stronger and closer than ever...
(and thankfully he has normal hair now!)

My bf and I have worked together for about 1 1/2 years, but since we are in different departments at the office, we never spoke. Then, 2 mutual friends (a married couple from work) started up a co-ed softball team about 5 months ago, and we both signed up to play.
After the first practice, our team went out to have dinner and a few drinks. We hit it off talking to each other, so the next night our match-making couple invited us both over for dinner. The rest is history!
The funny thing is, my bf says that he always thought I was pretty when he saw me at work but, for some reason, had the impression that I was a straight-laced Southern-Baptist girl who never partied (his words, not mine). He's a Yankee from Cleveland and his family is Catholic, so he just assumed that we would be complete opposites.
He told me later that when he looked down the table that night after our first practice and saw me downing draft beer that he was completely blown away. When he found out that I was Catholic, he was even more shocked. haha!!

Possibly my ex-gf?!?! Ever actually gotten the girl WAY out of your league? Well, this was actually my second, but she was WAY out....she was a bit older, was my SOSer (Student Orientation Staff) at Freshman Orientation and we stayed up all night chatting it up. Well, she goes on to be the most popular girl on campus, no joke, wins all these awards, super-involved, practically single-handedly reorganizing the uni for the better, and 2 years later, we being dating. Things going great and all, but I'll let you know...the girls that really are too good to be true...they probably are. It was funny when she'd come to things with me though, I honestly had guys come up to me saying I was the luckiest man alive, telling me "do you realize that your dating and whatever else with one of the schools true legends?" It was funny, no one could believe little old cory could pull this female, but hey...guess they were right though...4 months later and it was done...but hell, that's my longest relationship in a long time, and seemingly my last love (used loosely) interest, and that was 6 months ago!
edited to say:
Upon reading that, it sounds like a bunch of highschool freshman getting a senior, doesn't it? It's not typically that way on campus...you just cannot fathom this girl.

Shopgirl, you deserve it!!!!

BUT, THERE IS A BRIGHT SIDE TO THIS STORY................
The same week my bf told me what was going on, I received a reply from an old bf from Okinawa, Japan. He and I dated in Jr. High/HS. We dated for a year and five months. He had moved to NC and eventually we broke up. I was so heartbroken after that that I didn't date anyone else for another year and a half. I never forgot him or stopped thinking about him.
So, we began writing each other and talking on the phone. In September he came out to see me!!! It was awesome. It felt like we never even parted to begin with. He wants to marry me!!!!!!!
And...I want to marry him!!!! It's out of control!!! I can't believe all of this. You know how they say, "you'll just know"...well, you do!!!
I stopped believing in fate and the whole, "things happen for a reason", but I can't explain all of this in any other way. I never really let the Okinawa bf go...in my heart that is. Perhaps this is why...b/c he's the one I'm supposed to marry. I never really could see myself marrying the bf who cheated on me...and he wanted to a long time ago. Now, I'm ready to run...not walk...down the aisle. Of course, I'm not going to. I'm a thinker, an analyzer, so I have to take my time. Except, I don't want to over analyze my situation. It feels so wonderful!!! So, right!!! I feel so at peace!!! Am I crazy, or what?
I've left out lots of details b/c of time and privacy. However, I hope I was able to get my enthusiasm for my new beau across. I can't say enough just how awesome this is.
I'm happier than I've ever been.

Sweetie, I can't believe it!!! I'm SO STOKED for you - you totally deserve all of it! I'm so happy for you girlie, me typing the words out can't really adequately explain my happiness for you, but realize it couldn't have happened to a better girl!!!
Shopgirl, you rule! May you have the best relationship ever!

I met my fiance while we were both working at Target. I swear that I spent days after he started telling all my co-workers how cute and nice I thought he was. I later found out that he had been saying the same thing about me. Well, he drove one of my co-workers home and she finally told him how into him I was ( it took about an hour to convince him that I was actually interested, so she says..) and the next day, he asked me out on a date.
Four days later he proposed, and almost two years later, here we are! The weirdest thing is all the "almost meetings" that we had. He had dated a close next door neighbor of mine, and worked right around the corner from my house. He also was close friends with a friend of mine who I had recently lost touch with and dated another girl in my senior high school class. We are still finding mutual aquaintances (sp?)that we share.

Well, during my freshman year at college my husband's roommate and I had a class together. When he found out where I was from he said his roommate (my husband) was from the same place, and he asked if I knew him. I didn't. We were eventually introduced, but that was about it.
After my spring semester final exams were over I was on my way home and saw my friend's roommate on the side of the road. I recognized his car from around campus. Since I knew we were both from the same city and he was a fellow student, I pulled over to offer my help.  We were about 40 miles from home so he decided to get a ride with me and leave his car on the interstate.
He got my home number and called me during the summer. We became friends and the following summer (1994) we began dating. Seven years later, we got married! It will be five months Oct. 26th!
And the rest, as they say, is history...

I met my bf (financee if you rather) online! Odd huh? During Spring Break I was really bored and wanted an online buddy to talk to, so on a whim I made up a Yahoo Personal add for a pen pal. Low and behold I met Jeremy! We talked for a few weeks and decided to meet (he attends school less than an hour away from mine). One of my sorority sisters and I set up a double blind date with one of his friends and him. Those two didn't hit it off, but we sure did!

His family moved from NY to AL (boy what a culture shock  ). My uncle and family moved from SC to AL (not so much of a shock). I used to visit unc/fam during summers. Future hubby and I were just friends but got kinda serious one summer..right before his family moves to KY. Forward..a couple years, he happens to be in town the day my cousin gets married (another part of the puzzle I won't go into). He and I get into a disagreement about Greeks..foward 8 years, we both happen to move to Houston and start dating/living together, etc. Of course the Houston economy bites the dust bigtime so I head back to GA. He goes to KY and MS (I tell him when he gets to a place where I can find a decent job, there's hope)..anyway, he FINALLY moves to GA. We got married May 99 (yesterday was 3 years on the day he proposed..beautiful flowers, nice dinner..watch Braves game..what can I say....)
I've shortened this b/c I don't want to say how many yearrrrrrsss this took!  But we are still together after all these years when several weddings we went to ended up in divorce.
I told him if this relationship didn't work out, I'd just get a great dog!

She was a hostess at the restaurant I bartend at. We were so slammed that night, and I was the only bartender. This chick wanted me to make her a flaming dr. pepper, and I grabbed this bottle of 151 and slung it out of the speed well and caught it upside down in this lady's drink, and lit it. I noticed that the new hostess was standing there watching me, then she turned to leave. When she got off work she came and sat at my bar. The rest is history.
