The weird way I met someone

[Shadow]

Ask most men and women how they meet the people they date, and you’ll probably hear answers like “through friends,” “online,” “at a party,” or even “my mom set us up; she has better taste than I thought!” Some people, however, find romance in much more surprising places — and their stories are testament to the fact that if you’re looking for love (keeping common sense and safety in mind, of course!), you should always keep your eyes peeled. Don’t believe us? Check out how these readers ended up clinching a date.

Some listed were:

Idling on Freeway
Asked out a bank teller
Dialing wrong number
at Fathers eye surgery appointment

Discriptions at link.

All I've ever gotten from wrong numbers was interesting heavy breathing and sexual inuendo. (maybe next time).


Anyone have any stories about stange places you met a boyfriend/girlfriend/date?

Current hubby and I went to school together but didn't really "meet" until one night when I walked out to my car after class and he happened to be parked next to me. My mini-schnauzer was in the car and he noticed and said "I used to have one of those dogs, but my ex-wife got to keep it"...and six months later we were living together...and that was 20 years ago.

Guess what they say about puppies/dogs is true then. Great for attracting the opposite sex :)

I'm trying to think if I met any of the men I dated any place unusual. Mostly the normal places you would meet a person...school,church,weddings, parties. I'm boring.

I did date my bowling teacher while in college (met him in the school bowling alley)...don't know if that counts as strange though. ;)

I better see all those dates,romances,and dating sites in Hell.Only ways to be duped,scamed,or else bad to happen.

There no dating sites in Hell,for Hell is a place of the eternal torture of the damned and a world of fire and a lack of peace according to the Bible.However,there is real Hell on Earth with the wayward dating sites such as a hypocritical eHarmony and many others.Nigerian scamers took them over.

Now...I would think you would like EHarmony...it says right in their rules that in order to participate 1). you can't be married more then twice 2).you must be legally divorced,not seperated... and 3). you can only participate if you are straight.

Even says that 90 people (on average) a day get married. And they provide gift certificates if asked. ;)

Yes Shadow,it was true with eHarmony.Even Neil C.Warren not allowed legally divorced people there according to Christian rules.I heard the story that this so-called family value Neil C.Warren went in Devil's way.Gays offered him $ to run their dating sites using his web.He started accept divorcees and people of other beliefs and atheists.Plus there were cases as Nigerian scamed duped victims by giving their fraudulent images.Neil loved money rather his so-called family values.

He was sued.


Same-sex couplesInitially eHarmony did not offer same-sex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_relationship) matches, but now it does through its separate service, Compatible Partners (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatible_Partners).[24] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-usatoday-23) Warren originally explained that he had done extensive research on heterosexual marriage but does not know enough about homosexual relationships to do same-sex match-making which "calls for some very careful thinking. Very careful research."[24] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-usatoday-23) He also noted that eHarmony promotes heterosexual marriage, adding that same-sex marriage is illegal in most states, "We don't really want to participate in something that's illegal."[24] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-usatoday-23) In a separate interview, Warren went into more detail on his own views, noting that "cities like San Francisco, Chicago or New York... they could shut [eHarmony] down so fast. We don't want to make enemies out of them. But at the same time, I take a real strong stand against same-sex marriage, anywhere that I can comment on it."[25] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-24)
eHarmony's lack of same-sex matching options prompted lawsuits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawsuit) claiming that eHarmony violated laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_orientation).[26] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-25) As part of the settlement of a New Jersey case,[27] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-foxnews-26) eHarmony launched a partner website called Compatible Partners (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatible_Partners) providing same-sex match-making "for serious couples"[28] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-27)[29] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-28) Theodore B. Olson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_B._Olson), an attorney for eHarmony, said that even though the company believed the complaint was "an unfair characterization of our business," it chose to settle because of the unpredictable nature of litigation.[30] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-29) In 2010, eHarmony settled a separate class-action lawsuit filed in California that alleged illegal discrimination based on sexual orientation. The company, which did not admit wrongdoing, agreed to allow access to both its gay and straight dating sites with a single subscription, to display its gay dating services (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dating_services) more prominently and to establish a settlement fund to pay people who can show they were harmed by the company's policies.[31] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-30)[32] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-31)
Compatible Partners has attracted over 200,000 registrants.[33] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-32) Garcia also notes that, like, eHarmony, Compatible Partners (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatible_Partners) attracts high-quality customers: "Because of the price tag and the emphasis on long-term relationships...Compatible Partners' users are seen as quite desirable." [34] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EHarmony#cite_note-33)

How about we not start up yet another one of your "gay rights" discussions. We have enough of them already. Thanks.

People used sexy images that were not actually themselves to attract the opposite sex?? Shocking!! Why that is false advertizing. :laugh2:

[Prince Lemon]

He was sued.I read it.Neil C.Warren had his constitutional rights to refuse gays do to his beliefs in God,no matter what those queers wanted of him through courts.It is still freedom in America.The thing was GLBT activists showed him fat sum of $ that he will allow them to run their dating place on his web.He had a total freedom to refuse them and reject their money.He loved money rather than God and God's life values.Love of money is a root of all evils.So Warren defecated his once so-called Christian dating site into a run down toilet where gays,legal adulterers(divorced)non-Christians,and scamers do their business.Neil Warren is a hypocrite.That's sad.:(

I met Gregory (who resembles Rock Hudson only he's straight.....clarifying for the "Gay topic addicts") anyway I met Gregory on a Foot Fetish photo Shoot, I had wanted to take some excellent pictures as a surprize for Prince Clint and the wives......well Gregory normally only shoots photos of bad car accidents and murder scenes for the police. But as luck would have it he was hard up for money and working in a seedy studio just off a back alley for the food porn industry.

I was really nervous n shy at first but when Gregory put on mood music I knew somehow we were gonna be working together a long time.....I only hope Luna Tick or Maylyn don't try to steal him.......

Met my wife at a tailgate party before a college football game. All I wanted was some BBQ and a beer, and instead I ended up with a wife. Funny, I don't even remember who won that football game, but I remember exactly what she was wearing when I first saw her.

[Abbey Marie]

Ok, that sounds like the back of a smarmy romance novel ... ;)

That's what I was going for. It would be so easy to write one, I think.

Anyway, all of the above did really happen.
Up to and including the beer. I had a boyfriend, and am a goood girl that way. :cool:

[KartRacerBoy]

Met my wife in law school on orientation day. She had hair down to her legs then and at one point in the library the sun shone through her hair and she looked amazing. And 8 yrs younger than me! She was walking past me a few hours later and I stopped talking to a guy I had met and introduced myself. She thought I was boring and I thought she was boring after a few minutes of conversation. Luckily, she liked the guy I was talking to and I got to hang around. Within a week we were seeing each other. We've been married since 1993.

Not too strange, I guess, but I'm glad I can be a forward S.O.B. sometimes.

[darin]

I met my wife the first time, when she was 11. I was dating her older sister's best friend. I met her again when she was 17, at our nephew's Bday party (her sister eventually married my brother).

[Prince Lemon]

I met my wife in my native town overseas.She's now gone.:(

Indeed. Lemon squeezey has already introduced the Nigerian scammer as the villain here. We've only room for one per thread.

[Gaffer]

She learned about the machismo of russian men and that she doesn't need to be subject to it. She freed herself and has moved on with her life. Poor lemon is still caged up in his own mind and beliefs. He still thinks women should be subservient to men. It's the culture that's ingrained in him.

I've been trying to convince my wife of that for 6 years.

I met a girl once during studying for a final in my senior year of college. I had to fulfill a science requirement so I took an astronomy course in my final semester. It was a freshman level course and pure regurgitation for the final (at keast you learned stuff in the labs). My buddy and I studied in our dorm for half an hour and then got bored. We went to a bar, bought a pticher of Guiness, and broke out our notebooks to study. Other students were kinda dumbstruck by our study habits, but we met many girls that night, including one I dated for a short time.

I got an A- for the class. :dance:

Supposedly this story is true.

My mom met my dad when they were both 17 and he jumped into backseat of a car through the window while running from the police and landed right in my mom's lap.
Everyone swears this shit really happened, who knows. But it's a funny story.

BTW they've been married for 42 years.

A pal of mine who passed away last year, he got a wrong number and ended up dating this rich heiress for many years. She came and lived with him, he payed for everything for months, then they went to meet her mother, that's when he found out she's this rich millionaire heiress.

[GravyBoat]

I don't know what's the weirdest way I ever met a broad, I've met so many, so who can keep track. But I usually just start kissing them and then grab them by the pussy, carry them out of the bar like a six pack, they let me do that because I'm a star. When it comes to broads me and the president are amigos, we both operate the same, we're both great operators.

Anyone with a story to add?A female physician at MCRD San Diego. Physical time. Yay :rolleyes:. You get most of the grunt work done by a Corpsman. Then he tells me to drop trou and SHE will be with me in a minute. I was like :wtf:? SHE? The Corpsman of course is enjoying this because I routinely whipped his ass at basketball. He said no problem, SSgt, I will tell her you'd rather have a guy stick his finger up your rear ....

:smoke:

So, THAT is how I "met" Dr Lu, a petite, cute little Filipino FEMALE Navy LT.:laugh:

[High_Plains_Drifter]

I met this woman in the Montana Bar one time in Las Vegas, not a bad looking older blond. I started talking with her and she had some fantastical stories about being from a rich family, oil money, and she got a monthly allowance of sorts to just stay out of their hair. She went so far as to show me her check book that had random entries and looked like a grade schooler was making hap hazard entries in it, but the balance near as I could see was in the hundreds of thousands. I didn't care and I didn't believe her. We got a little toasty and I took her to my place and she spent the night. The next morning she said just take me back down to the bar which I did. I never saw her again, but when I got back home I noticed she had slipped a check for $5,000 under a glass on the night stand next to my bed. I almost threw it away, but I took it to the credit union on base at Nellis... and it was good.

That was the oddest thing that ever happened to me with a woman.

Wow! Sounds like Harry Chapin a bit: "I stashed the bill in my shirt". :cool:

[High_Plains_Drifter]

Wow! Sounds like Harry Chapin a bit: "I stashed the bill in my shirt". :cool:
I was ready to be embarrassed for bringing the check to the teller, and have her tell me no, this is bogus.

I looked for her after that. I asked around if anyone had seen her before or knew her name but all in vane. She was nice, pleasant, and seemed lonely. I kinda liked her. I wouldn't have accepted a check had she tried to hand it to me. I'd have thought it wasn't any good anyway. I also would have been slightly insulted to think she felt she had to PAY me to be with me anyway. That ain't me. I spent time with her because I WANTED to. Vegas might be a fun town for a vacation and to party but it can be a lonely cruel place. I couldn't wait to get out of there after just shy of 4 years.

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

Summer of 1977, I was divorced and working construction. A friend came over one weekend to deliver a message to me about one of my ex-girlfriends, a pretty gal I had dated the year before. Seems the month before her boyfriend had slapped her around quite bit and promised to kill anybody she dated after their split. She had told my friend her story and asked him to find me and remind me a promise I once made her.
That I would protect her.
Well, that was intended to be as we dated but she was in trouble and beating he hell out the guy seemed like it just might be great fun.
So I checked out her story with others and it was true, the guy was a real asshole and a brute.
I went to meet her and we spoke and she asked me again- If I would keep my promise. I replied, yes but just this
one time as we are no longer together.
She then asked me to beat the living hell out of the guy, I agreed to do just that. She gave me his name, address and other information.
I drove 50 miles to the town he lived in and did a bit of scouting around. For four days, each day I went to his house and knocked on the door--always got no answer and there was no car in the driveway.
Fifth day, a Saturday I went there again and lo and behold in the driveway was a nice new blue mustang. This made me happy as I thought finally(!) he must be home!
Wrong! It was not him --but that is how I met Renee---his extremely beautiful sister!
Seems he had traveled to California and would be gone a couple months or so. I having never told her the real reason I was looking for her brother, was able to date her! She was a real stunner and so nice, truly a great person.
We got along fabulously and we were both very, very serious about our relationship!
About 9 weeks of pure bliss had flown by and I swear I was thinking about marrying this beautiful 22 year old lady!
Then it happened! Her ffing lousy brother came back to town. I caught him at a local tavern and I beat the living hell out of him.
I called her the next day to try to explain my action but she after hearing my story --told me to get lost , never try to contact her again
and asked me this, after our dating why didnt I abandon my original plan?
My answer to her was this simple-- I gave my ex-girlfriend my word and my father taught me to be a man one must keep their word ,especially a promise made.
She replied, hope you have a great future with your word!
Tell you the truth that was the hardest decision I ever made in a relationship, as I was really into that beautiful lady!
Question was do I break my word and keep her or keep my word and almost certainly lose her?
As I look back at my life I regret losing her but I never regret my having kept my word and the fact that the ass stomping given ended her brother's harassment of my ex-girlfriend that he was victimizing.
But that lady was off the charts beautiful and I was in love...
But Love lost out to honor....
Besides it was so damn much fun beating the hell out of that cowardly bastard! -Tyr
