Fancy! (Congrats!)
Reddit funnily enough
I am sorry you felt you had to delete that, its nothing to be ashamed of
I somehow hit the up vote between you posting and deleting so it exposed it to me. Your secrete is safe with me
Hah busted! thank you kind stranger. Not ashamed but sometimes a bit unsure about where the line is in terms of posting personal info here. It's a really sweet story though 🌈🐀
Met at a place called Freak Manor.
They sat on me nude while people drew on them with permanent markers.
"Insane asylum", you know what i mean.
She hired me.
In the local pub. I was in my mid-30s. Now married with kids, mortgage and a dog. All I ever wanted tbh.
Say what you want about pubs and alcohol, but I'll take that encounter over a swipe on an app any day.
Semi-blind date. We were setup by a friend of mine that worked with her.
At the time, I was not in a good place and really was not interested in dating. My plan was to meet her, go to dinner, go to a movie then disappear. Why didn't I just say "No" to the date? My friend is a former Navy SEAL and is not one to give up.... Ever. It was just easier for me to say "yes" to the date, go, then go back to my life.
Life had other plans. We met at Newport on the Levee, which is an entertainment/ Shopping complex located right on the Ohio river in Newport, KY. This was in 2004 and the complex was brand new and very popular. So when we exited the restaurant we discovered the line for the movie theater was literally out the door and that was on top of a back and forth line near the box office. So we decided to go to the Barnes and Nobles and get hot chocolate. Neither of us like coffee. We sat down and talked... For THREE hours. It was the best conversation I've ever had with another human being.
We've been together ever since and that was in 2004. We have two boys and live 400 miles away from the Cincinnati area now.
Congrats on leaving Ohio, that's the good ending of mine as well
Yeah, we lived in the Greater Cincinnati area. I moved there in 1991 for a job. She moved there in 1999 for her Fellowship and Residence. We moved to Wisconsin in 2006 and we like it a lot better.
OK Cupid 10 years ago next week.
Met my wife at a dungeon. Shot my shot at two women at the same time and the fool who thought it was charming even managed to get tricked into marriage.
Met my best friends by answering an ad looking for other lesbians to play d&d during the pandemic. Those of us who showed up and stayed wound up forming extremely strong friendships.
Met my now-wife on Omegle, and my dogs at the shelter. Which is just Omegle for dogs.
- Didn't. Stopped looking. If they exist they're going to have to walk in to me physically and be very obvious because I'm not even looking for signs any more.
My college girlfriend claimed to have played a part in getting an IRC server set up on campus network, back when campus networks were brand new. Through that IRC server, I met the person who would later become my wife.
Although we are not formally engaged, we've been in love for a long time. We met each other in middle school on the telegram group of a YouTuber. It's been 10 years now
On Mondays my daughter visits and she noticed how many cats there are in my street so she started bringing cat treats. Now I have a rotation of about eight cats that regularly greet me as I leave or arrive. They know my car and the sound of the front door. It's added a surprising amount of joy to my life.
Aww. That’s sweet. Thank you for looking out for them :)
