I'll start...I cut & pasted from my Bio....

How it all started.......I worked for a temp agency & sent peeps to his job, they were my client.  For about 7 months, he avoided my phone calls & always brushed me off to his assistant.  One day his assistant told him...hey, that chick from ABC company sounds hot.  This got him to go Hmmmmmm??????  I always thought he was so mean & was glad he avoided me!

So, one day he came to my job to yell at me for things I was telling his temps hired through my company...I DENIED EVERYTHING!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA...He left...then minutes later, I get a friendly email from him.  Wuuuuuutttt?  I was in shock.  He was flirting with me.  I was very surprised, since I didn't think I looked pretty that day AT ALL.  hehehehehe

He made sure I had a date every night since our first one.

Thanks for sharing Chris! Very cute story!

Copying & Pasting from mine as well. LOL ;)

I was born and raised in Miami Beach, Florida. When I was 14 I moved to Canada. I was in karate from the age of 5, and just because I moved to another country doesn't mean I was going to stop my dream of becoming a black belt. So I found a karate school where I moved, which was in London, Ontario. I started my quest for my first degree at Family Karate School, and that's where I met Joshua King. He was a second degree black belt teaching a Saturday morning class for all belt levels. That's where my heart melted. He looked at me with those gorgeous pristine arctic water blue eyes and I was his. We became friends and started hanging out, and eventually dated for about 3 months. He broke up with me on my 15th birthday over the phone... but for some reason I knew that was not the last I was to hear of Mr. Black Belt.

We randomly started talking again one day, and became good friends. We would go to movies, go for walks (and argue about stupid things like what street my brothers school was on... turns out we were both right), and just walk around the mall talking. He would be in a relationship and I wouldn't be, and then the tables turned. It just never seemed to be our time. Then one day I went back to Florida to pursue a University education. We started talking more than ever. I went back to Ontario to visit for spring break my first semester, and that was when I knew that I wanted to be with Josh forever. He asked me if I would ever move back to Ontario. I told him that I would be coming back at the end of my semester. I couldn't afford to live in such an expensive place anymore without roommates (and I didn't know anyone who I could move in with) and I was not having a lot of fun being back home.

I moved back to Ontario in May 2006. That's when Josh and I started dating again!

We met online in a chatroom called Migent.com in July 2004. After a few exchanged messages, we started talking on the telephone for a couple of months before meeting up. At that time, I was living in MD and he was in CT. I took the train up to CT to meet him in September and we had instant chemistry. We officially became a couple a couple months later :)

Aww I love these stories... Ready to hear a crazy story??? Sorry it's so long but here goes mine...

I met my FI when I was 15 yo and became best friends with his younger sister, who had just transferred from a CA HS to a NYC HS cause their dad had just died. I would go hang out at my best friend's house (his sis) all the time and would catch glimpses of Rich going in and out the house... bike on shoulder, skates and hockey stick in hand, baseball bat and glove in hand..  he obviously was into sports in a big way! He never even noticed me for about 2 years!  One New Years Eve when I had just turned 17 yo, they were having a party at their house and I brought my mom who was going thru it with my dad and I didnt want to leave her alone (im the youngest of my siblings).  Well mom became wishy washy and wanted to leave b4 midnight and Rich offered to give her a ride to the house... I tagged along for the ride.  On the way back to his house he detoured to a lonely road and we parked his huge baby blue caddy and made out for a lil.  We then go back to the house where his girlfriend had already arrived (he met her 2 months prior).  Unbeknownst to me I had this huge hickey on my neck!  My friend goes, did you look in the mirror?  Im like no, why?  How friggin embarassing!  I got hate looks from his girlfriend all night long. 

So we dated on the DL for a bit until one day his sister tells me he got married (no one knew we were seeing eachother on the sly)... I was shocked so next time he called me and wanted to meet I met him and sprang the news I heard... he denied it saying they only "pretended" to get married cause she was pregnant!!!  Well that was that, I broke it off cause I thought oh man this guy wants to have his cake and eat it too! He begged me to stay but I wouldnt!

We both moved on, I had a falling out with his sister and we didnt speak for about 8 years.  In that interim I had two daughters, had moved to Florida, gotten married, and was pregnant with my 3rd daughter.  I would think about her regularly, we used to be tight.  One day I picked up the phone and tried information but the only number listed was Rich's number!  I called and his (now ex) picked up the phone... she was good enough to forward the message and me and Monica reconnected.  That led to infrequent trips to NYC to visit and I'd catch glimpses of Rich but we couldnt talk cause each time I was in town he was under surveillence!  One day we stole a few minutes and he asked me "What went wrong? I was supposed to be with YOU cause YOU were the one that would motivate me to be the best man I could be"... I said well you got married, remember?  He again said it had been a farce, so he had told me the truth from the beginning even tho I hadn't believed him.  But it was too late (or so I thought)... we were both married and had children with other people so that would be that.

Many years later both our marriages fell apart and in the midst of agonizing from my divorce I went to NYC to get away from it all.  The minute he found out I was there he came over to pay a visit... he didnt even give me a chance to breathe before he was all over me (I laugh now and say he pounced on me like Tigger on Pooh).  I left back to FL and contemplated calling him back... I let two weeks ride then picked up the phone and called.  We became real good friends cause it was all over the phone and no sex involved this time... lol.  I still kept him at arms distance cause I wasn't ready for another relationship.  I called one day and said, "Listen if you need a travel partner you got one, but I can't offer you more than that".  He took it and ran with it! 7 years from then and when I felt ready, he moved down to FL.  Unfortunately he couldnt make ends meet (FL salaries suck) and when his old job called and offered him his old job back for more money he left again...

I was so upset he left that I broke up with him.  I dated for a while year while he stewed cause he couldnt do anything about it.  He kept calling and would surprise visit me every now and again.  He refused to give up.  Ok so the whole dating scene sucked enough that I didnt want to date any more... every a**hole made Rich look better and better... Last year for my birthday he asked if he could take me away for my birthday (in Dec), knowing my b'days had been real crumby for years... he took me to the Dominican Republic and we wound up reconsiling... under the condition he would move back to FL.  The Feb. following he proposed... and he's been trying to find a job since.  Well he just got a job and will be moving down Nov. 2nd! 

Lesson being:  Nothing worth it is easy!

We met at church when my family moved to his congregation when we were about 6 or 7. He claims I gave him a lot of attitude (says I flipped my hair and everything) when his dad told him to introduce himself to me. It was because of that first encounter with one another that we hated each other until we were about 16. Then after that we became inseparable. We were each others best friend. We finally started dating 2 years later.

FFI and I met when I was 13.  My family had moved to a ranch in the middle of the mountains in Chihuahua Mexico for my dad to build cabins.  The ranch is used for camps and retreats for churchs as well as being a functioning cattle ranch.  It was literally 1.5 hours away from ANYTHING. Long, winding dirt roads to get to the closest town, Madera. (logging town, go figure.) Rogelio's dad was the maintenance man there at Rancho Huapoca.  Rogelio came to work with his dad there, he was 21 at the time, and I was instantly attracted to him, he's really handsome.  For the next 3 years we flirted a little and were really good friends.  But my dad said he would never let me marry a Mexican.  He thought they all had a Macho attitude. But Rogelio really doesn't, he is a very humble, gracious man.  He is the second born of eight.  When I was a month shy of 16, he left the ranch and a few months later, we returned to the States.  My heart was broken, and I suffered severe culture shock, including having a hard time understanding English. (It was strange to hear people not my family speak it because I had not heard a word of English, except for what my family spoke, for four years.) In February of 1999, we went back to Madera for the wedding of a friend, and that is the last time I saw Rogelio.

2005. Dreamed that Rogelio asked me to wait for him for 5 years.

Fast forward to March of 2010.  I had been engaged to Josh in 2008, Yuck, ended badly for him. I walked away without a regret. Was engaged to Jeff, great guy, still friends, but just wasn't the right thing.  I dreamed about Rogelio again and was really moved, I posted about it too. lol!  I looked him up on facebook, fully expecting that he was married and had a beautiful family.  Imagine my shock when I saw his relationship status was 'single'!  We started talking and things picked up quickly.  My dad called me several times to tell me that he wants me to marry Rogelio, quite a shock for me to hear because of his position before.  I mentioned it to Rogelio and he shocked me further by saying he was interested!  Wow....  I forgot to mention that it took me 6 years to get all the way over him the first time..... I was blown away.  Since then we have talked a lot and he is trying to come visit, and if all turns out well, he wants to get married within the next four months!  Crazy!  But the cool thing is that God had me wait so that He could give me what my heart has truly always desired.  Rogelio was the one I compared all the other guys to, he is the one I have really wanted since I was 13!  Crazy!  But cool!

I met my hunny bunches of oats April 27, 2004

at Dodgers Stadium.

I worked at the gift shop and he was a customer. It was not one of those cheesy piock-up meetups or anything like that. We actually met on our own; he is the reason why I believe in fate.

The gift shop was empty, and I was watching the game on one of the TV's inside the shop. The Dodgers were playing the NY Mets and Hideo Nomo was pitching for the Dodgers. He was playing horribly that game, and when he gave up a homerun I screamed "Fuckin Nomo!!" Immediately I thought, "Oh shit, I'm at work, I hope nobody heard me!" I check to see if anyone did, and as I turn around this cutie pie is looking at me and says, "You don't like Nomo?" I said, "Yes, but he's been messing up a lot lately!" For the next 10 minutes we talked about the Dodgers, then he asked for my name, I asked for his blah blah blah. So then he asks me for my number? I avoided the question by asking him where he was from? I never give out my number to guys because I always thought if they pick up on me, I can only imagine to how many other girls they do that to. But this was different, he didn't try to pick up on me, we began to talk because of fucking Nomo LOL. So, I said let me give you my number, he got it down on his cell phone and called me that same night!! He didn't even wait, the "2day rule" and he called me the next day too.

A week later he invited me to his house to watch a movie. Less than 3 weeks on May 9, 2004 he asked me to be his girlfriend officially. And six years later, here we are ready to get married November 20, 2010.

It all happened to fast in the beginning, but I followed my instinct. I fell inlove with him very fast, and he with me. This man is my best friend, he is everything I ever wanted.. Tall, dark, handome... and a Dodgers fan!!
