Ours was a chance encounter. I was doing 8-15 and she was my penpal.
Evidently you chose well, her on the other hand.................
I pursued mine, at least I think I was the pursuer.
Anyway, I had more speed and a GTO.
Almost 41 years ago.

gonna get cheezy here. yes, i believe in love at first sight and chance encounters. picture me, a skinny kid with bad hair that studdered. i see this beauty of a girl on the first day of school our junior year. its at a building that was rented by the first babtist church across from enid high school. we called it the "way station". its a place that served lunch from vending machines or you could bring your own. normally i would just pass this off as a distant encounter but a secure feeling came over me like "our paths will cross some day". four months later she was hired where i worked. we had lunch with a group from work on the weekends and we began to bond. the christmas party from work was coming up and she told a few people at work that she wanted me to ask her. me, being the nrevous,young guy with bad hair,i waited until the last minute. that was 23 years ago.

OH, YEAH!!! She didn't know at the time, but she fell in love with and married the "spawn of the devil." I pick on her regularly and I think I'll keep her for another 44 years because she tolerates me so well.
Met my wife through a friend, well kinda.
My friend says to me "I have a friend who is cute, blue eyes, blonde hair, and big boobs". I replied sure lets see. For once in my life a chance encounter blind date was actually a real person that was smoking hot!
My wife called the day after my 38th birthday and she came over for a date, and it was on like donkey kong. I fell in love with her and didn't want to be without her anywhere.
We were married July 15, 2011 and she passed away May 18, 2012.
It was the best damn 2 years of both our lives.
A little rough now at the holidays, but I try to remember to celebrate her life everyday as a life well spent instead of being down.

Wow...sorry to hear that, but what a great perspective to have.
I was stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA and got attached to a small unit assinged to work with the Border Patrol and DEA to work LP/OP ops along the US Mexico boarder monitoring human and drug trafficing in SW New Mexico.
We would spend 5 days in the field and 5 days back in town at a small National Guard Armory. During one of my sets out of the field I went out to a club just to have some fun and dance. I was honestly sick of relationships at that point. I met the woman who was soon to be my wife. We talked and hit it off. I got her number just wanting to keep it as friends and someone to have fun with and show me around while I was in town.
I would call her up when I got out of the field and we would go hang out. One thing lead to another. Then it was time for me to leave.
We decided to try the long distance thing. I made the 650mile drive on my next 96hr weekend. The rest was down hill. After several thousand dollars in phone bills, airline tickets, and gas in the truck we tied the knot. 14yrs later she's still crazy enough to put up with me.

While at QuikTrip soda fountain, I spotted a woman walking through the store; she was very attractive in the way I like women (age-appropriate, very slender, angular facial features, etc.), and she carried herself in a confident manner. No wedding ring - I checked. When I walked past her on my way to the counter, I flashed my best smile and said "Hi!" She didn't even respond; I figured as attractive as she was, she probably encounters that sort of attention every day, and just brushes it off. Ah well, I paid for my drink and left.
It got me wondering though; did any of you folks meet your SO through a one-time chance encounter? I'm not talking about a class, the gym or a bar, or other location where you two were in the same location for a while or where you'd run into each other time and again. Just the one time, and you knew you'd probably never see that person again. If so, how did you approach the person other than spill your drink on her and offer to pay the dry cleaning bill?
I seen this gal at claremore QT at the soda fountain. I wanted to talk to her but i chickened out, being shy and all. It didnt help that what god gave her wasnt housed in a bra LOL.
