This is a great topic.. I haven't posted in awhile but I just had to for this one.



We meet in school, but she wasn't my classmate. She was a teacher, I was a tutor for her elementary students. She was also.. hmm... kind of involved with sports, as in, umm... my volleyball coach. After lots of breaking the rules (and some laws) and her breaking up with her girlfriend we got together 'offically.' That was three years ago. I am so happy with her, she is my first love (and first gf) and I'm sure she will be my last.

[kyraroc]

So. I was looking for a cheap apartment in Boston, which these days is about as easy as playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey in a spiked pit filled with rabid weasels, and not nearly as fun. I was therefore delighted when a friend told me that a co-worker of hers was looking for someone to take a very small (and therefore bargain) room that someone else was going to vacate. So my friend took me to a party the co-worker and her housemates were throwing so that I could meet them and we could all see if we liked each other.



I had been at the party just a few minutes when B*** walked through the door. My first thought upon seeing her was, "Oh My God, she's gorgeous." My second thought was, "But out of my league." I found out that this was actually the co-worker my friend had been intending to introduce me to. And at that point, since it was that kind of party, B*** promptly changed into a full-length vinyl dress (be still my beating heart), someone mentioned she was an astrophysicist (at which point my heart did just stop), and I decided that I was pretty much right in my first instinct that she probably wouldn't ever be interested in me in any romantic way, because, you know, I would imagine most sexy young scientists do not secretly long for a significantly older unemployed divorced bisexual playwright with a history of mental illness - exactly what you want to take home to mother, right? Besides which, and even more importantly, she was clearly attached to someone else at the party.



But anyway, she and her housemates and I chatted and we hit it off quite well, and I would have taken the room except that it turned out that B*** was horribly allergic to cats, so my moving in with my kitty would have pretty much entailed her instant death. But B*** and I decided to keep in touch anyway just because. How nice, I thought, a new friend. Then I left the party for a completely different party which somehow eventually involved a lot of toplessness and whipped cream, but that really doesn't matter to the story.



Anyhow, we kept in e-mail contact for a couple of months after that, always planning on getting together but never quite getting around to it. I would already have made plans for the evening she invited me out for a group movie viewing, she planned to come see a production of a musical I wrote but a weird set of circumstances kept her from going, that sort of thing. We finally met again in person because a local club was throwing a little celebration for the publication of "American Gods" - you got in free if you dressed as a character from a Neil Gaiman story. She was going with a group of her friends, and invited me along. I thought it sounded like fun, and said sure. (She dressed as Death from The Sandman, which might sound unoriginal except that she happens to be pretty much a dead ringer for Death from The Sandman if she dresses right. Sigh.)



At the club, we started talking. A lot. A lot a lot. I realized that everything about this person was cool. Anime fan. Liberal politics. Bi. Early music aficianando. Sense of humor. Not dangerously insane. Works with orbital x-ray telescopes, plays violin in an orchestra, reads Margaret Atwood, writes poetry, knows how to dance, enjoys wearing outfits consisting mostly of electrical tape . . . I didn't think they *made* people like that anymore. If ever. By the end of the evening, I was entirely smitten. And, I noticed, Significant Other From The Party was neither there nor mentioned. Discreet inquiries among her friends (which I later found out were so incredibly discreet that they promptly told her "somebody likes you . . ." ) confirmed that she probably wasn't attached.



So, going for the gusto, damning the torpedoes, going boldly forward and quivering with nervousness, I called her the next day and asked her out.



Turns out, by the way, that she was surprised I asked her, even though her friends had told her I was interested . . . since although she was also interested in me, she had assumed that, as an artistic type, I wouldn't be interested in a scientist. Apparently, she had been snubbed before for this reason, and so thought I was out of *her* league, which further convinces me that the whole world is on crack.



Anyway, she said she would be happy to go out with me, with one warning - it turns out that her ex, who had dumped her two weeks previously for being Insufficiently Jewish (convincing me that her ex was on extra extra strong crack), had just called her and wanted to get back together with her. She hadn't made a decision yet, and was feeling confused. If I was willing to accept that, she'd love to go out.



Oddly enough, this made me almost relieved - it had seemed too good to be true. I'd figured out the catch; she was sane, sexy, sweet, and smart . . . she just wasn't exactly single. OK, I thought, no insurmountable problem here, her ex is clearly an idiot, so all I have to do to win her over is be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AT ALL TIMES. No, wait, I mean, all I have to be is comparatively UTTERLY AND ENTIRELY PERFECT. OK, so I have some issues.



Surprisingly, though, given how intent I was on romancing her, I actually succeeded. On our first date (Blue Man Group and an Ethiopian restaurant) we clicked so easily that I didn't feel the need to make an idiot of myself. At the end of the date, we shared an electric good night kiss.



I'll spare the steamy details, but a few days later, she confirmed that the ex was history.



We've been together just a few months over a year now. And I am still totally smitten. As you can probably tell from the fact that expanded "we met at a party" to a seven hundred page post by now . . .

[browneyedgirl]

I've actually met girls at a variety of places, some pretty standard (lesbian coffee shop), some pretty unusual ( a paintballing excursion with some friends).



I think the coolest place I ever met a gf was at a Dodger game. She was standing behind me in the seemingly endless line for the women's bathroom. Someone bumped into her and then she bumped into me and the rest was history.

[sweetmisery21]

I wish I had a story, but I haven't met her yet. One day, I hope to and hopefully soon. :)

[alyamber4ever]

OMG!!! Well, i now have a grrlfriend. Yes, it is a long distance relationship, but....for now. We plan to meet very soon. It was something that I didn't even see coming. We've been chatting a long time and we've been friends also for a long time. But, all of the sudden....it was love. She's everything I've ever wanted in a grrl and more. She's my dream grrl. It's like....magic I really hope things work out for us cuz we love each other soo much. In fact, it HAS TO work cuz, we're meant to be. I can feel it.

[sparrow]

Hahahaha, yea have been a little on the chatty side recently. To be honest rl has been really kicking me in the a** and really wanted to stay in my cave but then I also felt the need to talk, irony is kindof ironic haha. But shy I still am and I still am honing my brooding skills, even have a new leather duster to prove it. Thanks for the words, missed hearing from you.



*flies off, duster whipping in the wind, to continue to work on the shy brooding aura in the corner*

And, yet, I just can't seem to care

Hmmm....well, I met "my" girl through the board actually...She had posted something about a relationship problem she was having, and I was in a similar situation so I emailed her...At first we talked about our ex's...then about ourselves....emails turned to IMs...and IMs about our individual lives turned into IMs about the possibility of our lives as one...we still haven't met in real life but... but that is hopefully happening soon...All I know is that when I talk to her or think about her (okay, so all the time) I feel happy and my belly goes bad, in that good lovin' kinda way. And she's smart and talented and beautiful and .... ...okay, better stop.

[LostInEcstasy]

Well, I haven't been to the board in ages. I finally started university, so I haven't had the time. Stupid university. I'd forgotten how nice and cozy it is in here.



Anyway, I decided to come and see how the kittens were doing and what was the first post I saw when I got here? My where did you meet your girl post - the very first thing I ever posted on this site. I've decided to take it as a sign... that I should tell you all about the amazing girl I met



Her name is Crystal and she is the sweetest, kindest, smartest, cutest girl in the world. Well of course she is, she's a kitten!!! That's right, we met thanks to this site. She saw some of my posts, and e-mailed me. I e-mailed her back and soon we were chatting every night.



We have a pretty big obstacle in that we live in different provinces, but I hope we'll get to meet in person soon. All your success stories are very inspirational.



I love you Crystal

[alyamber4ever]

Ok, remember i told y'all about the grrl that I started dating? Well, guess what?? She's moving in with me!!!! Like, I said before....she was kinda far from me. I'm in Montana and she's in Michigan. Well, about a month ago, I just couldn't stand it anymore and I took a bus to Michigan to go see her. I spent 9 days with her and we had such a great time. We are sooo much alike and we just click on every level there is. I went there and just fell even more in love with her than I already was. We talked about what it would be like when I left and that we didn't wanna be away from each other for that long. So, we just kinda ended up discussing her coming to live with me. She said she wanted to soooooo bad. And, I want her to soooooo bad. So, at the end of December......she's moving in with me. I can't wait til she gets here!!

Me and her are sooooooo much like Willow and Tara it's frightening.....but, in a good way. Like, our first kiss happened after she said the famous 'Tara' line, "Can't you just be kissing me now?". It was sooo perfect and sweet and romantic.

Anywayz, that's my story. I plan to be with my grrl for the rest of our lives. She's all I've ever wanted and even more. She's my everything.

Where did I meet my girl?



Well I think I explained this in the 'secret crush' thread, but I met her at my school in 1997, mind you I was 13. The advantages of going to an All Girls Catholic School *smirks* Not only are the girls good looking and look good in their skirts and uh...anyways, it's also fun to grab a partner in crime and break a few sins. The girl couldn't do much seeing as she was about to have a baby, but a while afterwards, her and I had fun running around the school writing some things on the washroom stalls. But we never got together together until I was 15... and yes, we live together now me, her, and her six year old daughter. Happy times.

So that's where I met Leah, at school.



Oh, and the biggest sin we broke...was...well, you know

(Taps the mic) Uhhh....test one two!



(clears throat) "I haven't met mine yet!"



LOL.......basically I'm in the same boat as you with the whole figuring things out.....LOL. O.K I'm a chicken, I'll admit it. Curiosity is slowly killing the little lurking kitten that is me.

So don't cry for me, I'll be OK!



But there were some nice stories.....thanks to everyone who shared its appreciated by those of us who are still figuring it out!!

P.S. Way to go LostInEcstasy, theres still hope for all of us lost ones out there. *cheers*

Willow:I knew it. I knew it! Well, not knew it in the sense of having the slightest idea, but I knew there was something I didn't know.
