How did those of you taken meet your other?

Unread post by Iowawolf »

Many years ago four to be exact I was in a guild now my old one when I met her she was wonderful, adorable, beautiful had a great sense of humor as well she was so fun to be around and so we struck up a friendship that to this day has lasted the test of time among other tests.
At the time she and I were with someone else but deep inside we both knew we were meant for each other to be together as a couple for we shared what is known as the bond of the wolf. During this time of our blossoming relationship and friendship I had to leave WOW due to other things and it really broke her heart so when the time came for me to return she was so excited her now ex looked at her like she was weird lol.
She eventually left the old guild yet I remained for some time why I really don't know but that's another story. Even though we were in separate guilds we still talked in game a lot every chance she was on I was with her giving her the attention and love she deserved and still give her as my girlfriend.
Our relationship kept growing at a steady pace we kept talking for many moons and suns would stay up to the early hours just talking getting to know each other more and more.
Fast forward to this year I had just got out of a very bad relationship where I got so hurt that I thought I could never love again and she had also got out of one so here we were again together I didn't give up on the one day she would be mine and kept flirting with her which to this day still do.
August came around and we were becoming very close to one another and so became an unofficial couple which was like wow cause to me being with someone is very important and to have her be with me was more special. Soon the leaves turned and September rolled around, on the fifth we made the decision that it was time and well as they say it just happened we became an official couple then and there without even saying a word.
I left my old guild, pulled all my guys out and moved them to hers to be with her no matter who I am on also all this time since July we talked and texted each other every day to hear each others voice.
She means everything to me as I to her we are so meant to be with each other and next year she is coming to visit me which I can't wait for to be able to see my baby, to be able to just hold her close to me. It feels so awesome to have a girlfriend who really loves you, who really cares for you, who always will be there for you through thick and thin and good and bad. I am so thankful she is my girlfriend feel so blessed after all this time to be with her when we both share the bond of the wolf.
Those of you taken like me how may I ask did you happen to meet your special someone?

Wow long story....here is the short version :D

I first saw my husband when i was 14 years old. The moment i saw him i knew i was gonna marry him.. he was not as sure :P (infact he kinda hated me ). I first saw him at a place where i went twice a week to meet friends with common interest..

I was a chubby 14 year old and he was 19 at the time so he had NO interest in me what so ever..But due to the fact that we both meet twice a week in the same place i stalked him for 2 years.. and he finallly surrenderd when i was 16.

He had been feeling sorry for the way he had treated me, and talked about me behind my back with others, and he desided to atleast learn to treat me decent, so he invited me to a party he held. He got to know me better, and we began dating in december of 1994. We got enganged in may 95, and marriged in 96.. and he is still around :hug: :hug:

Guess he learned i was not that bad :lol: :lol: :hug: :hug:

Ryan and I met back in high school (well, I was still in high school at the time...I was 16 and he was 19). We had a mutual friend so eventually we started rendezvousing at parties a couple times. I think technically the first time I noticed him was on Halloween when I saw him with his hair spiked up. He got my attention, haha. There was one house party where we drifted off and basically ended up in the living room playing Primal Rage on the SNES the entire night. I kicked his ass with every character combination. Not long after that we went to a movie together and afterwards he asked me out in the parking lot.

Well, long story short, it's our 10 year anniversary coming up in December. We've lived together for the past 7 years. Have a house and a vehicle and a dog (and a zoo of other creatures). :D

Oh, fun. Mine is...uh...interesting. Back in high school, I was the mascot. Yes, I was the person that dressed up in a costume and danced around at football games. I met all kinds of people during my time as "The Eagle," including my boyfriend. He was a random person who was hanging out with some friends of mine, and offered to give me, "The Eagle," a piggyback ride around the stadium :lol: Of course, I accepted. Mascots are supposed to do wild and crazy things such as taking a ride on a stranger's back, right? :lol: Later that night, as the football game was ending, I took the costume off like I always did and went to meet with some friends. I formally introduced myself to guy who would become my boyfriend and you should've seen his face :lol: He asked me to be his girlfriend not too long after and I said...no XD I didn't actually get with him until a year and a half later :lol:

Met my S.O. in college... We met through marching band, and he was by extension in the group of us that hung out and played video games and watched old TV shows and nerdy movies together. We eventually started dating on and off through a series of events that lasted about half a year. Everything solidified after that. And also around that time was when a friend got us all to start playing WoW, so it was one more game we could play together. It was also nice for keeping in touch when we weren't at school, because we lived a few states away from each other...

We've been dating for seven years now, and living together for almost two. We feel married, just without the documentation.

I had been with the same person for four years, and had recently found out that he had been cheating on me the entire time. this was around a month before Christmas.

he promised to stop (uhuh, yeah... well), and I caved in and let him come back (we were living together). But by new year's eve I found out that he had again been out cheating on me behind my back.

We had a huge fight. I was upset and started chatting with some friends online. I announced I was going out for a beer, and one guy I didn't know said he would meet me to help cheer me up.

I met him at a bar, and that very night we knew we were made to be together forever.

We've been together a little over 10 years now, and married for 4. I can't understand how I could have lived my life until now without him.

Every year, from mid-august to early december, he works out of town, from sunday night to friday night.
And every night he calls me long-distance, and tells me he loves me.

I first met my now husband at a costume shop. He was an employee there and I was with some friends looking for Anne Rice inspired costuming (this was over 20 yrs ago). We later ran into each other at a local coffee shop playing Magic. He asked me out and at first I said no. He asked again a few months later and I agreed to spend Valentines day at his SCA feast. We lived together off and on a few years, and then broke off when he joined the Air Force. He invited to me to basic training graduation where he proposed (and pissed his mother completely off). We've been married 17 yrs and have two wonderful children.

Alright!

As I said in an earlier post, I met my fiance via WoW on Jetfyre(NE Druid) and Kaless(his draenei warrior).

I was looking for an rp partner, a draenei in particular. I spotted him in Tanaris, in the inn. I did the /dance emote. He saw me and danced to. We just got to talking and became fast friends. :3 I even joined his guild.

After a few months, I found out his dad has brain cancer and was very close to death. Worried for his well being, I gave him my number so he'd always have someone to talk to no matter how late at night it was. Sure enough, he dad passed away and he got to talk to me from then on. He even drunk called me at his dad's Irish Wake. It was pretty hilarious cause he's a funny drunk. XD Around December, he admitted he fell in love with me so we decided to give it a try together.

Kaless was there on the phone for me many times, including the time I nearly went to the hospital due to someone ingame that sent my stress levels so high, I started having severe chest pains. Kaless kept talking to me, distracting me, and doing what he could to calm me down(though he was REALLY pissed at that person and he doesn't get mad easily).

We also decided to try and visit each other. He came to Florida first to make a good impression on my parents(and it did). He had to stay in a hotel the first time. The 2nd and other times after that, he was allowed to stay at the house. Mom and dad loved him. His mom loved me too.

Maybe a year or two later, he won the OS103D drake and proposed to me over vent with it infront of the guild we were in at the time. I swear, I asked him if he was serious like...three times. All three times he said yes. I was just giggling and blushing for a good 5 minutes before I said yes. Ran over to my mom and told her I'm engaged. She was shocked but happy. When he came to visit me, he didnt have a ring picked out yet(mostly due to finances and he wanted a really good ring for me) but he asked for my hand in marriage in person to both my mom and dad. That was something they didn't expect.

Eventually I made the decision to move to Virginia to be with him. At the airport, he proposed to me once more. This time, he had a ring and slipped it onto my finger.

We've been together ever since. :3

I know exactly what you mean. :) We're easily common law, have been for a while, but marriage has never been a particularly strong urge of mine. If it happens it happens, but I'm perfectly fine without it, I've just never had any strong feelings towards it one way or the other.

My husband and I met at Wal-Mart, where we both worked. I am very outgoing, so I didn't know that he was just kind of liking me "in the shadows", so to speak. Not stalking me, just that he didn't really say anything. We shared the same friends so after work we'd all go out for drinks and food and whatever, and we talked a little. I ended up dating some other guy that he didn't like at all, because Anthony (the other guy) was a little more forward like me. Eventually, Anthony broke up with me for religious reasons (which, I'm religious too, but...I dunno). Jon (my hubby) asked me out with a rose, but I turned him down and said that I didn't want to date anyone at the time. Plus, Jon was just a friend and I couldn't really see myself with him. Anthony ended up coming back, so like a fool I took him back and we dated for a little while again. He didn't want me hanging out with Jon because he knew he liked me, which bothered me a little because I'm kinda like...I'll be friends with whoever I want to, ya know? Anyway, round 2 didn't last long and Anthony left me again, but this time I pretty much told him not to let the door hit him in the butt. I cried a little, then just kinda mentally slapped myself like, "Why are you crying over him? He's not worth it." Soon after, I got a tattoo and found that Jon was the first one I called and wanted to show it to, over any of my other friends. Not long after THAT, we went to a Gameworks together, though I don't remember who invited who. The whole time we were there, I could tell something was bothering him. And I resisted the urge to hold his hand, I'm not sure why. I should have just done it. :lol: Anyway, back at my place I let him know I liked him and wanted to see where it would go from there. About a year and a half later, we were married.

It hasn't been perfect. We've had our share of tribulations and arguments, and I very nearly divorced him at one point until God slapped some sense into me (that's how I truly feel), and ever since then I've had no regrets and love him more than I ever did before. He really is my best friend. He's incredibly sweet and good-natured, and twice has persevered when I rejected him or was about to leave him. I don't know why he's so intent on keeping me, but I'm grateful for it. :) I can't imagine what I'd do without him. Probably crumble, that's what.

I met my husband in wow. I was in an unhappy relationship and he was my escape. We were in the same guild and talked lots. We just came along great. After a vacation with my parents I did a stop by at the town he lived. It was at the other end of Germany. We lived in the south, he in the north. I saw him only for a few hours but it was great. The town he lives in has a big gothic festival every year so this was the next occasion I got to see him. We went to the festival together and I stayed at his apartment. I was still in this relationship with the other guy but it was sure that it wouldn't last anymore. So after I got back from the festival I told the other guy goodbye. My future husband was unemployed at this time and he had no chance of work in the region he lived. So I suggested he might try in Bavaria where I live (good economy, good payed jobs) and sure he found something. That was over three years ago. I told him he could stay in my apartment until he found something for himself. He payed rent and got one room. We got along very well. We played Wow together, cuddled when watching tv and we also had sex. I still only saw him as a good friend. I found an other guy to go out with. But this didn't last long since he moved to Berlin because of the job. So I was back with my friend. He was searching for his own apartment but I didn't want to think about him leaving. So one evening I asked him if he maybe could think of staying with me and that I might have fallen in love with him. And he told me he felt the same. That's how we got together. In August 2011 I had to leave for half a year. I studied back then and had planned one semester in Sweden. In May he proposed me and I accepted. After I came back from Sweden we made the appointments for our wedding and got married on August 4th last year. I can't imagine my life without him. He is such a sweet, loving and caring husband. I'm 12 years younger than he is, but noone ever notices it because we are so alike. He is my best friend, my love.

When I 1st met my boyfriend he was the hot TA for my 1st year animation class. I kept flirting with him and he asked me out a few weeks after classes started in mid September. By Thanksgiving I had met his parents and he had met my grandmother, that was about 8 years ago. Funny thing is my grandmother and his parents met for the 1st time this year :lol: . We have been living together for about 5 or 6 years now. :mrgreen:

Woah, so those dating from wow actually works out? that's surprising. I prefer going to a real one that is dedicated on matching people up like a cupid site. The one I like is http://www.freedatinghelper.com/reviews ... ial-cupid/ and I really like it. But overall I think its cool that the people that are dating on WoW actually works because some of my guildies are dating.
