It was early November, 2009… I don’t know that I’ve told her this, but for a moment I wasn’t going to let her sit down. It was the annual bash for a local cycling club. Jennifer and her friend approached the sofa looking for a seat, just as two guys I’d been trying to talk to got up to get food. For some stupid reason, I was in two minds about inviting her and her friend to sit down, then the guy in the adjacent chair actually did it for me (did he realize he carried the bow?). more » 1 votes.

I had traveled to Kyrgyz republic years earlier to meet another woman and it did not work out but while there I met a translator (Marina), that worked for me and she remembered me. Years later she was working for a dating agency and Irina was trying to find a suitable mate. So Marina contacted me and asked me to consider to meet Irina. more »

This may possibly be the only “How we first met” story written by the guy, so it probably won’t be very sweet. We were both 21 and out at the bars. I was with the guys and Kim was out with one of her girlfriends. The guys were ready to move on to the next bar and on our way out some drunk idiots get in a shoving match and spill beer on these two girls (Kim and her friend). more »

We are both in our late forties and we met last spring. We were both in a yoga class at Harbin Hot Springs. I felt him staring at me but I pretended not to notice. However, out of the corner of my eye I could not ignore his big strong legs in his tight black yoga shorts. But I decided not to pay any attention to him….looked like he was just another one of those “yoga” guys - and, although I was curious, more »

It all started in 2000 with a glance across the women’s retreat circle. Electricity filled the air as their eyes locked on each other. They were friends first and only saw one another once a year at the retreat. They both had crushes on each other, but had kept it secret. What made the situation even more complicated was that Molly was an “out” lesbian while Annie was married at that time to a man for 24 years. The day finally came where the truth had to come to the surface. Five years had been to much time to hide these mutual feelings. more »

“Beauty and brains, looking for the Prince . . .” That was the first line enticement of my SF Chronicle personal ad, back in the era when newsprint was the mode for the lonely of heart. That come on, plus the fact that I described myself as a voluptuous Ann Margaret look alike led to 55 brief encounters with a hodge-podge of eager suitors. One example: When I asked George, with his comb over hairdo, what his favorite thing to do was, he cocked an eyebrow and responded, “I’ll tell you after the first time we make love!” more »

Jen’s version: Brian and I met on March 8, 2008…it was a Saturday morning and I was almost done with my workout at the gym when he passed me and smiled at me at the same moment I spotted him and smiled. See Brian and I had smiled at one another for months, when I look back it could’ve been a year of smiles, mostly in passing because he would arrive to begin pumping iron as I was leaving. more »

Ricky and I met 1 year ago - on Valentine’s Day. We connected on a dating website, and my first thought was – why is he interested in me?? He’s a tall, country music lovin’, snowboarding, four-wheel-drive-truck type of guy. I’m short, like hip hop, drive a gas-friendly car, and detest cold weather and snow! more »

We met at Bally’s Manhattan Beach. In Spin Class. 5:30am. I sat next to Alan in spin class while he was speaking to somebody else about food - low fat apple cake, to be specific and I had to know more. And so we had our first conversation. We saw each other often in the mornings at the gym. I thought he walked so tall and proud while working towards his fitness goals and I knew we had at least one thing in common, you know? We had a lot of interesting experiences before we had our first date. Most memorable was the day after we had a discussion about salt and how I only use regular table salt (doesn’t everybody?!). more »

Solio and I first met in an AOL chat room back in the day when it was cool - during the beginning stages of meeting people on the internet. He approached me first asking the usual A/N/L/P (Age/Nationality/Location/Picture)? I sent him my picture; of course I made sure it was the best looking one of me. One day we were chatting and he said, “Hey, I know you!” I’m thinking how do you know me? more »

I was a junior, he was a sophomore in high school. I was dressed like a clown, he was a trumpet player in the orchestra pit. It was an annual high school theater production, known as Valley Vaudeville, and my role was to act as the comedic transition between each skit. His was to make sound effects for me and my other clown partner since we were not allowed to speak as clowns. During one of our acts, I was supposed to jump off the stage, into the pit, and onto this mat as part of my stunt act. I ended up missing the mat and jumping onto his lap. more »

Gala opening at a Community Center in San Francisco. “I have a table just for you!” exclaimed the organizer, as I showed up late to pick up my ticket. And she seats me next to Faina. This was on Apr 3rd 2004. I’d like to think that I have really impressed Faina, but it was actually Faina’s friend who convinced her to look past our 10 year age difference. more »

In 2000 we were both working as paramedics in Oakland. I had seen her around at our deployment area and she looked so cute in her paramedic jumpsuit, hair up in a pony tail (commonly known as the samurai knob), and her glasses. I never talked to her because she was all business, checking out her ambulance and getting ready to head out on the street. The one and only time I tried to talk her was a shining example of poor timing. more »

Ten years ago, during my freshman year at college, one of my girlfriends gabbed about this older, computer-geeky guy (Tom) who was trying to date her. She didn’t know if she was interested in him. One night at a party, my friend introduced the guy to me. She promptly left with him to take shots in her dorm room. more »

How We First Met: Glen and Denele April 17, 1977 “Man down on International!” And with that I stormed toward my first accident “victim” on this bright sunny morning. The flag men were directing the other motorcycles away from the “man down.” I could see that he was trying to get up but appeared to have no strength. Bikes continued past him, kicking up dirt everywhere. more »

I would “flirt” with her by holding her under the water - almost drowned her she contends. Then Ev dated a guy visiting from Georgia for a few months. He left and then one night I offered her a ride home from a party. more »

We met in front of the Los Gatos Community Center. We were both attending a meeting of an anonymous group to which we both belong. I was out front smoking a cigarette with three of my friends, and up walked Jill with her friend, Lynn, whom I had previously met. Lynn introduced Jill to us, and my friends were practically pushing each other out of the way to make her acquaintance. I felt out of place. more »

He rented an office in the building and I worked for a documentary producer who also was a tenant in the building.

Michelle is very much a bar person, preferring to soak in conversation and laughter surrounded by friends, while making new ones. For nightlife, Jess, is a polar opposite, interested more in going to dance clubs and losing himself on the dance floor. It was a dark and stormy night when Michelle was persuaded by her friends to go to Mighty, a club Jess frequented. more »

Marc and I met in in Middle School. We had a class together, however, he doesn’t remember this but I do. He sat behind me, and incredibly bugged me. He was a know it all and I just simply was annoyed with little boys. Ten years later, we ended up working at the same summer job as lifeguards. more » |
