I want to know so I don't have to rely on a computer to find a wife.
 
It was a small town, so the main entertainment was going to a parking lot and sitting or standing around socializing with the other people there, or going to the one bowling alley. Typically you'd see the same people on a regular basis. So they met...started dating...and that was that.

Choose your parking lot wisely. :D
 
Thanks. I might have to move to a small place that has socialization like that. Need to get me a parking lot.. cuz where I live there are no parking lots that are like that.
 
My parents met in Jacksonville..which for those that dont know is the largest city size wise in the continental US. But I think it was my mom and she went to her friend's youth group one time and my dad went there. i could have the roles reversed but i know they met in youth group

My ideal parking lot would probably look something like this. Tougher to find women, sure, but when I do, I can be reasonably sure we're both on the same path.

I do not know how my parents or my dad's parents met, but I do know my mom's parents met on the boat from the UK while they were immigrating to the US.
 
My parents met at a disco, 6 years before they were saved.

Mum was dancing with her friends. Dad offered to buy them a round. They all asked for a vodka and lemonade, or a vodka and coke or something.

Dad came back with 6 lemonades, hads one to mum and says : "no girldfriend of mines is going to drink!"

4 weeks later they were engaged, 10 weeks after being enganged they were married. 33 years later and with 6 kids. They are the most happiest couple ive ever seen :P
 
My dad on his motorcycle scared the horse my mom was riding, he was impressed she handled the horse, and she was impressed he cared and came back around to make sure she was fine.
 
My parents met at a skating rink when they were 14 and it was love at first sight for my dad. He drove 4 hours to and from my mom's house every Saturday until she graduated high school then they got married. (Back then you could get your license at 15 in SC )
 
My mom was set up on a blind date by my grandma. On top of it she was sick! She was mad and took it out on the guy for my grandma doing that to her... 3 months later they got married haha!

Awww thats a great ending! :)
 
My parents met in the Army during medical training. They married after knowing each other for only a couple weeks because they both knew all of the lyrics to this really goofy, obscure song. Same odd-ball sense of humor and love of word play and science fiction. It was destiny, I suppose. They're massive dorks.

My paternal grandparents were set up on a blind date. My maternal grandparents met in a restaurant. Both grandfathers were military men (uniforms = hot stuff) and my grandmothers were both stunners. Pretty classic, really, for the time.

You actually bring up a really god point.

By doing whatever it is that you feel passionate about, when you find a girl there, you can be sure that you are both on the same path. :)


^cheesy^ but still :)

AAAWWWWW, that's really sweet, Nana :)
