First interaction you had with your current spouse/partner

[ReservoirAngel]

I've been interested recently in the various ways that seemingly stupid little encounters eventually somehow manage to lead to long-lasting relationships.

So in that interest comes this thread, asking you to elaborate on what happened the very first time you met your current partner.

I'll get the ball rolling with mine:

My roommates were throwing a house-warming house party, as they'd only just moved in, and invited pretty much ALL their friends round. Among them was the guy who now has to put up with my stupid shit. So I noticed him but didn't really speak to him. I ended up getting into a massive conversation with a group of guys about the show 'Mock the Week'. When the conversation died down they all fucked off and I went to get another beer for myself. As I closed the fridge, my now-bf slid up next to me and just said "so...d'you want pumped?". I immediately recognised this as him quoting Mock the Week, and we both just fell apart laughing. Which led to us sitting apart from everyone else involved in a fucking massive conversation until the party finally ended.

Met my current gf in a calculus class. Usually I was the first one there dues to my habit of getting to class a half hour early, but I happened to be late that day. That day she was their before me and she said " I beat you" when I walked in. We had a short conversation about music and became friends. We kinda stopped talking over the summer break, then right as the fall semester is about to start we started talking over FB and I realized that she was interested in me. Since the feeligng was mutual I asked her out and it's been gravy since.

Don't have a current, so I'll answer your loverly question with my last.

We were both Officers in our WoW guild. The officers of this guild were all a close-knit group when they promoted me, and I fit in decently well. We talked, had a little kinky inside joke, usually ended up taking the same sides in problems...ETC. We ended up getting to know each other better and we dated for 2 years.

I actually met my current girlfriend at a paintball course. She was with a group of friends, and she didn't want to participate, out of fear of being shot at. Oddly enough, we met because I accidentally fired a paintball into her leg between games. It was my first time out paintballing with my friends, and I forgot to put the barrel cover on. I offered to drive her home (she lived about 10 minutes away) so she could get some new pants. We talked and had a great conversation on the way to her place and back. We spent the rest of the time hanging out at the course. Lucky for me she was a good sport about me discharging a weapon at her. Now that's what I call 'love'.

Not currently seeing someone, but a few months ago I met a girl whilst shopping for shoes at the mall. On a lark I asked her out, she accepted, we ended up having five nights of copious copulation, then we parted ways. It was a five-night stand. All the tests came back negative so no harm, no foul.

Uh, well, I first saw her at school three years ago. I was like 'huh, pretty girl,' but nothing really major. In the meantime I've fancied quite a few other girls.

Three years later, bam.

I was helping some of the theatre guys move platforms from the downstairs storage room to the stage. A guy showed up that I hadn't met yet, and what with my very-unladylike moving of heavy items and my ice-breaker story of how I caught my parents in the same bathroom on our flight over to the States from Australia, he was smitten.

Met at a party and ended up in the same bed that night, I still can't quite remember how. >.>

But still going strong after 1,5 years.
