How did you meet?

How did you meet your girlfriend, boyfriend, wives, husbands? Tell us what was the first meeting? What did you talk about and where did you meet?

We were canoeing and talked about canoes. It was excellent, canoes everywhere!

 ha!

But a mod  could delete the OP and we could keep this going

Edit:

Just remembered that these exact questions were on my last credit union app setup process.

We live in sketchy times

In reply to Saklad :

I met my wife on line. I know, boring but considering I was well into my 60’s with all the computer skills of Freddy Flinstone. That’s remarkable. 

The even more interesting thing is I learned how to go on line to find ladies by my late wife. Knowing her time was short, she got me started.  Thanks to her efforts I found a good one.

Yes... Please go on: What is your dogs name? First Job? Parent's middle names? Funny how much of this stuff people put out on social media including metadata in photos without even thinking of how it might be exploited.

Met on a blind date set up by mutual friends.. She had long blond hair and big boobies.  I was 19.  That’s all I was interested in at the time.  

The easy way to identify canoes is to go to their garage. No cars. Even if he was not a canoe why would I want to have a conversation with someone who does not own a car?

Know the warning signs:

This is nothing more than a bot data mining. Any fragment of data can be aggregated with other data and used as an exploit. Same with those stupid questions on social media. 

I was married to a canoe once...

It is feeling awfully nautical. 

In reply to spitfirebill :

Honestly, that's all some people are still interested in.

For me, it's a good start...

Met in a dimly lit bar.  She put out on the first night.  

Oh, wait, that wasn't my wife, it was someone else's.

Oops!

This is fun!

I met a girl on an airplane once, and we were making out before it landed. Probably annoyed the person sitting between us.

Like I said, this is fun!

I once met a man from Nantucket...

Actually, Annie and I met at the company we both worked for. She in Customer Service and me in Technical Sales. She was taking a class in Screw Machines and I happened to admire her attention to the subject. During lunch one day, I commented on the "screw machine" topic. Well, now almost 40 years later, the rest is history.

Canoe or not, I think this is a dang good topic!

There were so many canoes, I didn't know whose canoes were whose!

My life was wrapped around the circus-- her name was Lydia. I met her at the World’s Fair in 1900, marked down from 1940. Ah Lydia.

I met her in a club down in old SoHo

Wait I remember now. 

I met her out at Murphy's restaurant. She said she was fresh off the farm. I remember thinking, for a country girl, that she went pretty well armed. 

While working as a pharmacist, I met her when she brought her Zovirax prescription to be filled.

At least you knew the date wouldn't end in frustration...

Previously, I often spoke with girlfriends through canoeing networks, kayaking sites. It was interesting. I met my current wife through [sculling dates] dating site. We talked for 1.5 months. Then we decided to meet and from evening to morning we walked through the park near the lake. This is an unforgettable time.
