TheSilentType Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 To any of the current posters, can you answer these questions. I'd like to hear more from people in their late twenties or thirties, since I figure its harder to meet people then. 1. When did you meet your partner? (i.e. 1 year ago, etc) 2. How old were you? 3. How did you meet your partner? (i.e. at a party, etc) THIS ONE I ESP. WANT TO KNOW. DETAILS PLEASE 4. What was it that necessarily attracted you to that person or made you want to be with them? 5. How long from the moment you met did it take you to become "official" couple?
Pyro Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 To any of the current posters, can you answer these questions. I'd like to hear more from people in their late twenties or thirties, since I figure its harder to meet people then. 1. When did you meet your partner? (i.e. 1 year ago, etc) Technically, September of 04, but we really met in September of 05. 2. How old were you? Technically 23, but it was 24. 3. How did you meet your partner? (i.e. at a party, etc) THIS ONE I ESP. WANT TO KNOW. DETAILS PLEASE In September of 04, we had a chemistry class together, but we never talked to each other at that time. A year later we ran into each other at a local bar and we recognized each other and we started talking and then it escalated from there. 4. What was it that necessarily attracted you to that person or made you want to be with them? She was cute and very easy to talk to. We had that connection. we are both pretty care-free and easy going. 5. How long from the moment you met did it take you to become "official" couple? About 5 weeks. So why do you want to know all of this info?
Author TheSilentType Posted June 25, 2007 Author Posted June 25, 2007 So why do you want to know all of this info? Gives me perspective to see how it works for other people. To see what were the most successful avenues to meeting their partner, to see how fast or slow toward being a couple, etc.
Pyro Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Gives me perspective to see how it works for other people. To see what were the most successful avenues to meeting their partner, to see how fast or slow toward being a couple, etc. Unfortunately I am probably in the minority here. How often do you hear about a successful relationship starting at a bar? 5 weeks may be too soon for some, but we saw each other on a regular basis and really got to know each other.
amaysngrace Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 My answer probably won't help you much either but I met him in a garden center where he sells his tikis. He waited on me. Three days later I ran into him in a grocery store in a different county than we live in and he recognized me. We talked for almost an hour but never exchanged any info about ourselves, well we did but not names or numbers. We ran into each other about five weeks later, I recognized him too that time, we exchanged names and numbers and he called me that night.

laRubiaBonita Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 1. When did you meet your partner? (i.e. 1 year ago, etc) We met in mid-march of this year, so about 4 months ago. 2. How old were you? I am 28, he is 31 3. How did you meet your partner? (i.e. at a party, etc) THIS ONE I ESP. WANT TO KNOW. DETAILS PLEASE We met at the bar I frequent. I was up with work people, and he was there with a friend, they sat at the bar, and eventually where we(me and my co-workers) worked came up. Well it turns out that his friend lived in the rental property that I had received a complaint about. I had written a nasty letter to the guy- his friend, and I had not returned the message his friend had left for me at work. It was kinda weird, but he(my BF) told me I was very well versed and had written his friend a good letter, even if was a nasty-gram. Anyway, he, his friend and I ended up leaving the bar and hanging out at his house, where we all fell asleep on the floor…. 4. What was it that necessarily attracted you to that person or made you want to be with them? I did not really think twice about him at first, he is not my usual “type”. He is a little shorter than me, can be very serious, and I thought he was kinda strange. We did not even kiss until the 3rd time we went out…. And I still thought he was kinda strange…. but he is very smart, funny, he gets my sarcasm- and can throw it back just as good, he is responsible, he cares about his family, parents and brothers, he is pretty stable, I still think he is a little strange, but I like it- I am odd too so we work well together. He likes my friends and family and I like his friends and family… and from what I know both of our friends and family think each of is great too. 5. How long from the moment you met did it take you to become "official" couple? I think we had a exclusive talk, which was already an unsaid thing, but we vocalized it, a little over a month and half after we first met.

halfarock Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 1. When did you meet your partner? (i.e. 1 year ago, etc) If my calculations are right, 5 years ago this coming Monday. 3. How did you meet your partner? (i.e. at a party, etc) THIS ONE I ESP. WANT TO KNOW. DETAILS PLEASE There was this lose group of women, all single, all friends from way back. I liked to go hang out with them as they all seemed to be very welcoming of me. There was this one woman who didn’t come around as often as some of the others. When I first saw her she just kind of rolled her eyes. Later on she came over and sat down next to me saying, “hello handsome”. It was complicated because I was dating one of the others and she had a boyfriend. Anyhow we became friends and it seemed that was all there was going to be. Then one day she told me she was moving. Didn’t say exactly where, just the part of town. She told me that I should come by and look her up some time. After she had gone, I began to miss her, she just lingered on in my thoughts. About 2 months later, in a chance encounter I ran into her again. Actually she had told me about this place that she liked to go eat. I was driving by one day and on a whim; don’t know why other than just remembering her telling me about it, I stopped in. She just happened to be there. It was a wonderful reunion. That is when we began to date. 4. What was it that necessarily attracted you to that person or made you want to be with them? Throughout my life I’ve had lots of different girl friends and sometimes wondered if I had become numb to love. But when I first met my girlfriend there was just this sensation, like someone had jammed a rod through my chest and jolted me with about 1000 volts. I don’t know; maybe it was that bastard, Cupid. The thing though, is that I find her to be very pretty, possibly (to me anyhow) the prettiest woman I’ve ever seen; there is a gracefulness about her. But once I got to know her a little, (while we were just friends) I came to realize that there is just some kind of connection, an ease of communication between us. 5. How long from the moment you met did it take you to become "official" couple? Almost two years
