How did you and your S/O meet ?

My SO other for over 30 years, who is now my wife, I met through a drag racing friend of mine. First date was to the drag races in a different city(in was summer time). Second date was to a hockey game, it was in the hockey season. And now it has been 42 years together.

That'll teach ya to take ice cream from good looking, mustachioed hippie dudes! {#emotions_dlg.laugh} Wonder what he would say about that moment? Bet he was nervous and you were so hot it was making his ice cream melt.

I was dieting--lol--and turned him down. That would never happen nowSmiley Happy

Haha... too cute! You owe it all to ice cream. Smile

We worked for the same company in Texas but 40 floors apart. We met in a bar in California while both on business trips for the company.

We just celebrated our 42nd anniversary, too, John. How's she doing with her rehab?

Re: How did you and your S/O meet ?

It's so much fun reading everyone's stories! Here's mine:

It was the summer after I graduated from college. DH had just finished veterinary school. My mom was good friends with the senior veterinary technician. Our cat was bumped by a car. She was badly hurt and needed surgery. We were all so worried about her. The vet tech was also a gourmet cook (as a hobby). He told all of the doctors he would cook them a gourmet meal if one of them would stay overnight with our cat. DH volunteered - young, single, away from home for the first time. Because of my schedule, I couldn't get up to see her before they closed. Mom's friend told me I could go up after hours as there would be "someone" there. So I went up to visit our kitty, who recovered and was in our wedding pics! Good memories! Smile

My husband and I met on an internet dating site. It is the 2nd marriage for both of us. Been together since 1999 and married 7 years (as of this past January).
