How did you meet/impress your current spouse/partner/significant other?

I think he was referring to your comment that you get bumped into a lot, or are often bumping into others, and that may not happen as often for skinny people.

Yeah I know. It was a joke, although apparently not a good one.

About to leave to grab some moe, and take her to this pizza place in Little Italy, which got me thinking-- I wonder how Jazzfanz has sealed the deal with the ppl they were wheelin'.

You're in NYC?

.... because it costs money???


And if it doesn't go anywhere, it becomes a waste of money?

You're a lost cause.

People in large groups hate me. I'm constantly swearing/yelling/bumping into them.

ILU.

Met my wife at Hooters.
I showed her my Lambo.
We were married in 3 months.
Unreal that it has already been 19 years in October.

I had moved to LA about a year earlier, after a divorce from my six-year partner. I say "partner" because we ran off to Vegas to get married after a short time knowing one another, in order to help facilitate some traveling we'd planned to do in India and the Middle East (certain countries are harder to travel in if you're a single woman), and, from a certain perspective, getting a divorce was a foregone conclusion. She is probably a genius in mathematics -- graduated from a fancy college at 19, Master's Degree by 21 -- but she came from an upper-middle class family and had a the emotional maturity of someone who'd been coddled her whole life, which cut against my background in a number of ways. I'm surprised we made it six years, but I'm glad we did.

I'd moved to LA to finish my first big research project after graduating with my PhD in anthropology, but my interest in academia was waning fast. Someone offered me a research job that I could do from home in about 30-hours a week, and I'd make considerably more than my academic post. I thought about it, and then realized how supremely disenchanted I was with the university, and left. Now I was doubly free.

Meeting people in LA on the spur-of-the-moment is hard. People my age (early- to mid-thirties) go out in groups, and they can act very disturbed if you try to engage them. I explained this to a friend of mine, and he convinced me to sign up for an online dating account. He's a level-headed guy and he told me in no uncertain terms that literally every single person in LA is on one site or another. I got on a couple of sites and learned that if you are in LA, not a creep, reasonably attractive, and a good conversationalist, then you can go out with an attractive woman pretty much every night of the week without even sending messages. Seriously, I sent about 20 messages over the space of a year, but was getting tons of emails from women wanting to meet for drinks.

So, I was (relatively) flush with cash, had about 200% more free time than I was used to, was recently single, and in one of the most attractive and sexually liberated cities in the USA. The last time I'd dated was 6 years earlier in Salt Lake City, so this was very much like paradise. Lots of casual hooking up and return business. I wasn't looking for a commitment, and I shared that with everybody, so I only ended up getting with women who were looking for the same prospects, and they aren't in short supply around here.

Then I met someone different. Online, again. She was all I could think about. We've been having the most meaningful times of our lives together for over two years now. I'm shopping for a ring this week.

Met my wife when I was 19. She worked at a pet store and asked if she could help me. She was gorgeous, had an electric smile and and I instantly fell in love. I didn't see her again for 4 years.

4 years later I was working part time evenings and weekends for a little extra cash. The company had a party. I showed up with my girlfriend and found that I had been working at the same place as my future wife for several months and didn't know it. She worked in accounting during the days so we simply never crossed paths. The girlfriend of 2 years and I had been having issues for a few months and finding my future wife again sealed the deal. I broke up with the girlfriend that night. Our first date was on July 2nd and we were married on Nov 30th that same year. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this past Nov.

The bolded line is very much a reality in so many metro, large-city areas I find. Best of luck with the proposal, and congrats!

The girl that I referred to in the first post of this thread I met through mutual friends. One of my very good friends lives on the French campus of our university here, and has a sick 2-story house on campus that he always hosts parties in.

I go about a year ago, and meet this girl that had me pretty darng enchanted from the minute I saw her. I'm talking with her, and she tells me that she's leaving to Ireland for a year next week. Darn.

Fast forward a year to last Thursday night. We're at this big French event at some club, I see her. Turns out she came back this week. We talk, tell her and her friends that we should go out for karaoke.

We do, I sing Deja Vu by Beyonce (videos were unfortunately taken). She loves it, I get her number later that night, we hang out the next day. Buy her dinner, drop her off, make out in my car. Nothing too crazy, and I'm trying to pace myself to see if she's really a good fit for me.
