Caught hiding in the bushes leering through the bedroom window so I invited her in for a glass of iced tea.....haven't been able to get rid of her since.
Actually we met as friends online years back through an "adult" networking site never expecting to meet seeing as we were on different coasts, but we kept in contact then about three years ago we started traveling to each others places and six months into the relationship I told her we're getting married the moment it's convenient, she agreed...haven't been able to get rid of her since.

I moved from my old stomping-grounds to Helsinki in 1998. I didn't really know anyone here, so I posted an online-ad where I looked for someone to spend time with (I wasn't looking for a GF). She responded and we became friends. We were friends for.... 3 years, then we became a couple. Got engaged in 2003 and married in 2004. Still married

You could very easily meet that special someone on Xbox Live, after all
I was talking to someone about computers the other day, and they said that computers aren't the most important thing and I won't think so either when I find someone, and my response was "well, maybe one day that special person will follow me on Twitter"
magnetic
While I was researching magnets, just generally pursuing my interests, isn't that weird? We're still best friends, even though we had a romantic bust up because one of us (pointing no fingers) is a control freak, and the other is into personal growth ...

no.... that's what you guys do when you're married!
What? I'm insulted... I far prefer playing PS3
At an after show party of a comedy thing I was hosting. I was rather inebriated, and her and some friends claimed to be my fan club. Thought it was all very charming. She texted me a few times, then I saw her at a party a few months later and we got together and the rest is history...
Id rather date someone who isn't religious so it narrows my pool down to about 5 in Kansas. All of the relationships I have ever been in except one felt burdensome, I don't like carrying the conversation for weeks at a time, and I don't like girls who have 0 hobbies and then complain about mine.
Better still find a girl who wants to play that Xbox with ya. My girlfriend had to force me to buy an Xbox
. It's sat there doing nothing too but a fool and his money (and his persuasive girlfriend)...
Almost a year and a half ago, here at MR. I certainly wasn't in the market, but sometimes love comes along when you're not looking for it at all.
What she said
I take offense to that
I met my partner while traveling, quite by chance.
We were both passing through part of the Gobi desert in southern Mongolia. We both stopped at some sand dunes to spend the night.

She was traveling in sort of van with five or six other tourists. Since I am more anti-social I was traveling solo (well, with a driver and guide) in a jeep with no other tourists.
I sometimes think that if I had gone in a different direction, or had stayed somewhere else for that night I would not have encountered her. It's a frightening thought.

I'm a Deist, try finding someone with that degree of compatibility in a world of theists and atheists and their various absolutes of philosophies. Thankfully I am closely compatible enough with my Agnostic Jewish fiance that it's not an issue we don't bug each other about things like religion or politics
Thank you. (only just saw this)
Have you ever had an MRI? Was it like a life-changing experience? (I'm semi-serious, just curious about this magnet attraction thing
)
Whoa, whoa, wait a second... you guys married for 3 years, plus 1 year together? What about dvc? Has it really been more than 4 years since dvc was around and you were the man-hating blonde from California?
No way... time doesn't go *that* fast...
Ummm, man-hating blonde?
We have been married almost 3 years and we were together about 6 months before we married. dcv is irrelevant in the equation as they were never a couple. If you want to know the personal specifics.

Yeah, that would be the master plan. But you know what happens to all good plans, don't you?
It's just that I am not very "flirty", average looks, low self esteem - usual stuff. I don't feel comfortable invading other people's private space if I don't know whether or not they like it. Or maybe that's just a lame excuse.
Indeed. As my old senile brain remembers it dcv was in a relationship that started via MR, but not with your now-hubby.Ummm, man-hating blonde?

That was back in the days when this place had turned into match.com

Who told you about the MRI? Who? My attorney assured me no-one would talk ...
I am just a bit suspicious there's more to magnetism than meets the eye ...
I met my current girlfriend on the internet. I had always thought of internet dating as a last resort, but in the end I figured "why limit your options?". We would never have met in real life, so it worked out really well!
