|  How did you meet your significant other?
I'm tired of trying to meet ladies in the bars, and I'm looking for new ideas of where to meet them. So my question for you, is how did you meet your significant other?

| Re: How did you meet your significant other?
Wierd story really.
In autumn of 1998 I had just been furloughed by AirTran. I had only been there for a few months and had only just completed DC9 IOE when they furloughed me. I had absolutely no money whatsoever, but managed to get hired flying for Chautauqua (for the second time in my career...)
Anyhow, I had no money so rather than get an apartment I found a nice parking garage near the Pittsburgh airport and began living in my car. I'd fly trips with overnights whenever I could, but when I couldn't I would shower at the YMCA. Yeah, it was that bad.
I managed to talk the company into giving me a cushy TDY gig in CAK and I was excited that I would have a hotel to live in for a month. Hot showers, cable TV... i'd be living like a king!
So i'm dedheading from CAK to PIT (in 98' that pair was flown by a DC9) and happened to be sitting next to a gentleman who wasted no time telling me that he was a brake salesman. He was talking my ear off and I happened to notice across the aisle this attractive business woman was eavesdropping and laughing at me trying to be polite and listen to this yahoo.
When we arrived in PIT I followed her off the jetway, got her attention, and joked that I was glad she found my seatmate amusing. I followed her to her gate and we chatted a bit, finally exchanging email addresses.
Over the next few weeks we dated a bit. I'd fly or drive to Akron and take her out... really cheap dates like walks in the park, going to the humane society to look at dogs... lol
Finally got the guts to tell her I lived in a car.
And she still married me.
(Of course she didn't AGREE to marry me until I had been hired by US Airways, and was a lineholder DC9 F/O making over $90,000/yr)
(then in 2002 came the furlough and anybody who tells you that furloughs don't breed marital problems is a liar...but that's another story entirely)
Cheers! | |

| Re: How did you meet your significant other?
I was back at college going on a date and I ended up in the wrong dorm looking for my dates room (stupid beer) and as I was walking through the dorm lost I noticed a door open and peeked in (read, trying to see naked chicks) and as I was looking in a girl was looking out from her desk procrastinating on her homework. The girl who was procrastinating looked familiar and it turns out I went to go to school with her so we started to talk. After about five minutes her roomate named "sally" came in and we were introduced..This was 2001 and I married "sally" in December 2003 and have been together since.

| Re: How did you meet your significant other?
I was dating her best friend (who didn't have a car), and my soon-to-be-eventual wife would drive us around on dates (pick up the friend, pick me up [AFA cadets can't have cars in early years], then we'd all go to the movies).
Her friend and I broke up, but I ended up with the better one out of that pair, to be certain!
