I work in a bridal shop (yes, I know its completely ironic). One thing I always ask the brides is "How did you meet him?" Most of the time I get pretty standard answers: "Through friends", "At Church", or "At school". But I always like to hear because, I guess, part of me wonders where I will meet my Mr. Right. But when I think back to how I met the guys I dated seriously in the past, well, it wasn't so standard. My ex-husband and I met through work, which is pretty common, but we "fooled around and fell in love" which isn't. My last boyfriend - Mr. Executive - was from out of town and I met him in the Atlanta Airport. He was an international businessman in from London. I was on my way to a wedding in Florida, a case of when "two worlds collided". Then there was an ex-boyfriend (definitely a Mr. Nice Guy) who I met over a body shot of tequila (my crazy impulsiveness on that one). I guess he caught my eye right away. None of these relationships worked out in the end, obviously or I wouldn't still be single, but they were fascinating learning experiences if nothing else. I have had other boyfriends over the years who I did meet in school or through friends, but they don't stand out in my mind as much as those three probably because the relationships didn't last as long. These are three men who I dated for 2 years or more and lived with. So who knows where I will meet the next one? I believe it will be something unusual once again, when I least expect it. What is the wildest or most interesting place you ever met someone you fell for?

I seem to have met all my exes at bars!! lol I guess the statistics are correct when it comes to relationship anti-longevity from meeting guys in bars. :)
Met my husband at a football game in college :-)
As for the exes, I met them:
- In school
- While playing co-ed roller hockey
- At a bar (yep, didn't last long!)
- Bartender at a local sports diner
- My brother's best friend
Geez, guess it took awhile to find my Mr. Right!
My Mr Right is still somewhere.
As for ex-es, I met them on the bus, on a package tour, over the Internet, at a movie set.
The last one was rather funny/ I played a lady in the audience that was watching a fight between two knights. When one of them got killed, I had to look at him pitifully, shake my head and say that those games were way-too-dangerous. As soon as I said it the dead knight smiled and asked if I really thought so.
Well... I know I'm married... but I was single for 29 years of my life -- I met my husband by tripping over his foot at a concert -- Seriously... that's how we met -- My blog is about our first year of marriage (no, not the normal 'we're so in love and just couldn't ask for a better life' kind of blog) -- the REAL thing...
P.S. -- I wrote a few articles under the title "Single in the City" -- good stuff ;0)
I've met guys in all kinds of places; school, work or through friends. I don't think I have any incredible or out of the ordinary meetings in my past. :/
