Match.com....sure went out with a few real winners, but really happy with the latest. It's almost looking at Consumer's Report before "test driving" the car. Wouldn't do it any other way.

Oh the BBS...I kinda miss the simplicity

At an old job! I was working in an archery store and here comes this cute little thing and everyone takes notice. As is the case with most guys, everyone was talking a big game to each other, but none of them had the pair to go and talk to her.

So while the rest of the shop was talking about her, I was talking to her. As they say, you know when you know! It didn't take me to long to realize that I wanted to ask her out. She said she'd be back in a little while. I figured we would never see each other again.

About two days later she shows up with a target bow. The shop was slow so we began talking and she convinced me to get my bow out. Things were going good so I asked her to lunch. She said "lets each take one shot, 20 yards, if you beat me I'll go to dinner with you". We both hit the X so it came to the second shot. She went first and Robin Hooded the arrow. I didn't even shoot again. She did agree to dinner though.

That night I find out she went to Texas A&M on an archery scholarship and was 1st alternate for the U.S. Olympic team when they were in Atlanta. In any case, we got back at 5 a.m. the next morning and that was over 4 years ago! In that time she has put up with a whole lot so I am thinking it is time for a ring!

At a bar while I was on groundschool in Brisbane Aus. Turned out she was a FA based there, and I was based on the other side of the country! 4 weeks later, I had to leave... 2 months later, she moved across the country! Still going strong over a year later and about to move to Hong Kong together (Cathay)!

I met the girl who I am dating now after rolling up on her car sitting on its roof.

Kristie · November 19th, 2007, 03:10

So...you were the charming prince who saved the girl?

Hahaha. Well, here is the short version... I was the first to get there and help her. It was Halloween night and I was heading home from the station when I rolled up on the accident. She was freeking out from the whole thing. The accident was an honest mistake. I thought there would be drinking involved because of Halloween night and everyone being at a party. While she was crying and we were waiting for more help to arrive she told me her dog was in the car. I went over and sure enough the dog was dead.

More help arrived so I figured I would head home. She came over and asked that I stayed because no one cared she was basically having the worst day of her life. She told me she was at a Halloween party and left to go home because she didn't feel good. She was dressed as Dorthy and her dog was Todo from the Wizard of Oz.

When everything was finishing up she asked for my card because she appreciated everything. The next day I got a text message saying that she really appreciated it and so on. We exchanged a few texts here and there than phone calls. Now we are dating.

The end.

Thanks Cougar

Now i know i'll lose credibility because of our "age." But whatever..

Met through school, and the use of myspace. 2 years later, still kicking strong while she's in college and i'm going to college! We're the "high-school sweethearts" in everyones minds at school.

She came up and asked where all the men were who knew how to dance . . . I raised my hand (she was only talking to me anyway)

I knew during the first dance. We married 8 months and 2 days later. That was 12 years ago

Disco/Swing/50's Sock hop all rolled into one marathon song. . . and nobody else danced. When I flipped her around my back, people applauded . . . it was a good one

cfii2007 · December 5th, 2007, 19:40

Geez, I'd probably break something if I tried to do that...........

I met mine through racing friends - she was in Boston for St. Patricks day, and never left my side since.

Mine was in college and working the AM shift at UPS as a tug driver/marshaller. I was flying a Carvan on a UPS feeder routeat the timeand I first noticed her when she was hired before Thanksgiving in '06. Didn't see much of her the next month or so, then after the first of the year, she started bringing the can to the airplane on a regular basis. After some encouragement from one of the other employees, I finally summoned the courage to talk to her and ask her out. We went out that weekend and have been together ever since. We are getting married April of next year and we couldn't be happier.
