I am gathering people's thoughts about the best places to meet someone from the opposite sex. I want to know the places you have met your boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives. Please give as many examples as you can and the age (approximate) that you were when it happened. I'm not asking age to be nosy but just to help me find a pattern. An example of mine is that when I was in my early twenties I met many of my boyfriends at parties.

Welcome to A2K, topless!

Well, I met my wife on vacancies at the hotel pool in Spain.
We both have been approximately 22 years then.
All this ('Bring back those memories ... " Very Happy ) happened about more than quite some years ago.

Hello Topless, welcome!

We met in front of the restaurant where my husband worked. I walked by one Saturday night in summer with a friend and he and his boss attacked us with water guns. I was 33 at that time. Well, believe it or not, I did not fall in love immediately. We met again in a local bar and my friend told me that he was the guy with the water gun. I was not single at that time - but some months after that I was. I used to go out alone most of the time and liked to start the evening with a cup of coffee at the Italian restaurant where he worked. We talked a lot and like each other very much. Nine months after we started to go out we got married.

I first met my present wife in the home of an ex sister-in-law. I said "Hello" and kept walking (I did not wish to become acquainted with my sis-in-law's friends). Years later, during the time of my impending divorce, the ex sis-i-l brought us together. We have been married 24 years.

Ah, love in three quarter time

(I nearly had posed a famous saying by George Bernard Shaw instead of that.)

So sweet. And so appropriate with Valentine's Day around the corner.

I met my hubby when he moved into my house. Shocked I lived in a housing cooperative at the time, a big ol' mansion by the lake with 35 residents (it was much less squallid than you might imagine, actually) in Madison, WI. We met when he was "membershipping", or trying to convince us to let him live there, too, and thought he was cute 'n' all but I had a rather cast-iron "no dating housemates" policy. He had other ideas, though...

That was hmm almost 11 years ago, been married for almost 7.

I know I've posted this elsewhere before, so my apologies to anyone who's seeing a duplicate.

Met Mr. Jespah through the Village Voice personals. He was looking for a woman with long hair but really had no other specifications. I had been doing the personals scene for about 7 months and was just about fed up. This was going to be my last week to do the personals and then I was going to stop, regroup for a while, and step back from the dating scene. That was my plan.

So much for plans. We started talking on the phone on a Tuesday I think and we talked for 2 hours! He called on Wednesday and we talked for another 2 hours. We had already agreed to meet the following week, I think 6 or 7 days from then. He called back on the Thursday and said (I'll never forget this) "I've enjoyed talking to you so much, I'd love to meet you sooner. How's Saturday?" I had other plans (some other personals ad date) but of course that flew out the window and I said sure. We met that Saturday and that was it. I remember calling my mother the following Monday and telling her I had met someone.

In December, it will be 15 years since that initial meeting. We've been married for about 10 1/4 of those years.

I was the manager of a convenient food store, and he owned a Shoe Repair shop in the same shopping center. We met while he was a customer of mine, purchasing a cup of coffee.
Our first date consisted of some one on one basketball.
