I thought it would be interesting to learn each others back story.
Here's ours:
I was paying for gas and FI was in line behind me. We made eye contact when he walked in, but I didn't really think anything besides he's cute... So, when it was my turn I said "$10 on 5" and he said "I'll get that" as in pay for!
Needless to say, I was shocked but I obliged and let him pay for my gas. Then he walked with me back to my car and pumped it too! This may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I was absolutely floored lol... So we were talking while the gas pumped and he asked for my number. I was the type that NEVER gave my number to anyone, but I gave it to him. I guess he picked up on this because he called me like 5 minutes later and said "I just wanted to make sure you gave me your real number." Lol, we laughed about it and talked for like 2 hrs, had our first date that weekend and the rest is history!
So how did you and your FI meet?
Re: How did you and FI meet?
Eventually he was put on my team at work and we started chatting over instant message. He really worked hard to get me, gave me his phone number I didn't call, etc. Until finally he asked me on a date in July of 06 (we met in November 05) and I said only if you take me, my mom, and grandmother out (they were coming into town) and he did. The last thing my grandmother said before she and my mother left was that is a good man you better not let him get away.
And well I didn't! I hate that she passed away 2 years ago from cancer and will not get to witness our marriage but I know she'd be happy. I always tell him we have my grandmother to thank for us getting together. She helped me to see what a good catch he was and she helped him have a chance with me!

we met on BP too:)
I picked him up at Applebee's. LOL

I was there with my Sorors and he stopped thru with his frat brothers (they were road-tripping to FL from ATL for their Greek Week on my campus). I loved his dimples and he blew me off. So my line sister and I made a bet that I could make him want me by the end of the weekend.
I won
About 2 weeks after deciding to share the room we were still talking a lot on fb and I really started to like him. I kept trying to see if he got the hint and so finally I told him and he liked me too. We started a long distance thing and met for the first time at the confrence. From that first moment we were joined at the hip and it was like we had known one another and had been around each other forever. We had our first real date that day in Boston and our first kiss about 15 minutes after meeting in person for the first time. My sig pic is that day in Boston. We are so alike and he is my best friend. We travel back and forth between countries to spend time together. I spent 3 months with him in Belgium
I love that man so much!

LOL it does:)
FI and I met through a mutual friend at a party. He was known as the guy that got the party started, and I was not well known among this circle of friends because I was pretty new to the area. I thought that FI was loud and obnoxious when I first met him. LOL. I was really surprised to learn that he was actually intelligent and well read. The first time we met we started talking about various books we read and recommended other book to one another. He had to leave the party early that night because he said that he had to wake up early the next morning for work. The next time I saw him was at a party thrown by the same friend. While at the party he spoke of some beer that he likes to get special order from a local beer and wine shop. I told him that I was not fond of beer I was more of a wine drinker. He told me that it was because I haven't tried the right beer so he invited me out to dinner at this restaurant/brewery. He said, "yeah, I take all of my friends out there!" We had great food and I discovered for the first time that I actually liked beer. After dinner we went out to this jazz club. After that night I realized that I liked him but I had no clue as to how he felt about me 'cause he played it so cool. So I just figured that we were destined to be great friends at that's it. We hung out together almost daily, just talking about everything and nothing at the same time. A girl friend of mine told me early on that he was in love with me, but I was like....nah...we're just friends. I just asked FI how we moved from friend to more than friends, and he said, I really don't know. It just happened organically.
So that's our not so glamorous, but organic love story. LOL
We met at a Halloween party during our freshman year of college.
The whole train ride we talked like we knew eachother for years. When we got there I hung with him and his sister the whole night. The next night we went to the club with friends. And the next weekend we were official. No one at work knew, even when I got pregnant. We would have secret lunch dates everyday...
