How did you meet your significant other?
I have a vague feeling that I did this poll in the past, but can't find it. And who cares if I did?
The rules: Answer this question for your current spouse or significant other if you have one. If you don't have a current one, answer it for your most recent past one. If you've never had one, there are poll options for you and you can use this poll to reconnoiter your options. |

Let's see - we worked for the same company, went to the same church and went to the same college.
I'm pretty sure she was stalking me. |

I went to a college reunion of sorts and at a party, the girlfriend of a buddy of mine discovered that I lived in the same area as one of her sorority sisters. This girl decided it was necessary after the fact to reach out and suggest that we meet. We did. 15 years and 3 kids later... it's all good.

Motorcycle wreck. She’s the nurse that started pulling the 60 some stitches out of my face.

Saw her in a crowd, was love at first sight, followed by the usual: stalking, a washcloth and a bottle of chloroform, handcuffs ...
