I'll give you 2 examples of the many I know of couples who have met as 'strangers' and going on dates, of course these are from personal experience-

- my parents, for one, met on a blind date set up by mutual friends. My mom says there was chemistry between them right from the start. They married almost a year after that first date and have stayed that way for 34 years.

-I met my husband at a coffee shop we both frequented. I'd seen him there a few times before but we never really spoke. He commented on my Johnny Cash t-shirt shirt one day and we sort of just fell into conversation. Had a few chats like that a few other times before he asked me for, um well coffee, again. That was 5 years ago and (i'm probably a bit biased here :) ) I think we have the best kind of relationship I know.

no one in this thread is saying that it's impossible. my parents (together 25 years) met because my mom thought my dad was cute and basically stalked him, then forced a mutual friend to throw a party so that she could "casually" meet him. hell, i know happily married couples with children that met on the internet. but IN GENERAL? yes, it is alot better and safer to get to know someone first.

OMG, I love your parents' story. Very different. XD

oh, theyre seriously adorable. haha though youd never know it by looking at them, theyre totally boring old midwestern surburbanites. but the stalkage led to my mother ducking into a mens bathroom filled with her co-workers. and when my dad proposed, he put 'will you marry me' in a fortune cookie. the old adage about every girl wanting to find a guy like her dad? um, hell yes if hes going to do cute romantic stuff like that!

AWWW!!! ♥ That's too freaking cute! I know what you mean on both counts - my parents may look boring to the naked eye, but 22 years of marriage and still acting like dorky old newlyweds. XP

It's cute, but I must agree - it's raised my standards quite high for a spouse. My father does dorky little romantic things all the time. On their tenth anniversary, my dad bought her ten random things and gave them each a reason why he bought them. The only one I really remember now was the really, really nice broom (seriously, it's been over ten years and they still have it), for which he explained, "because you sweep me off my feet."

"because you sweep me off my feet."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my god. this is awkward, but i think im kind of in love with your dad.

my dad buys my mom flowers all the time, but its because he used to work at a florist and secretly still likes arranging them. HAHA hes so metrosexual sometimes its not even funny, but he will KILL you if you even say the word.

Don't worry about it, you're definitely not the first to tell me that. I've gotten used to it by now. I must admit, both my parents are good catches. XDD

hes so metrosexual sometimes its not even funny.

!!! That's so funny, we always tease my dad for being a total metro because he loves and sings along with musicals and Disney movies. :P

im definitely the disney freak of my family, but my dad has always been SUPER anal-retentive about his hair, and wears preppy pink polo shirts. ('it's not pink, it's RASPBERRY!'.....yeah because THAT'S helping your case.)

XDDDD HAHAHAHAHAA...OMG, that's great. My dad has a pink shirt he once insisted was "peach." When my mom responded flatly, "Dear god, I married a gay man," he ended up not wearing the shirt again for a long time. XDD

(Our fathers seem startilingly similar. I'm starting to wonder if its perhaps possible for my father to have a clone. XD)

sorry, but my daddys better :) ♥

Ah, the opinion of daughters. To me, mine will always be the best. :P

oh yeah, im a total daddys girl. i love my mother dearly, but my dad and i just have such similar personalities.

(ps~lj friends? i recognize your username, i know weve crossed paths in the past.)

Oh, I know exactly what you mean. I love my mother, she is and will always be one of my best friends - but I'm a female copy of my father (in looks, as well, I've been told. ...repeatedly...). XD

Of course! *adds* I'm always open to making new lj friends. :)

Ah, I didn't say I never knew anyone who met like that! :P I know a few, personally, myself. I'm just saying that most couples I know knew each other from work or some such thing.

Those examples, by the by, are adorable. ♥ I'm a hopless romantic, and I love hearing about long lasting marriages - especially since they seem so rare these days. Glad to know you and your parents are both in such happy relationships. :)

I met an ex (we are still very good friends, mind you) at a bookstore in a similar fashion to how you met your husband, actually. I was wearing a Fight Club shirt that he commented on, and 45 minutes later he was asking me to lunch. We dated for almost a year, but as it turns out, we didn't work out as a couple. Still, he's still one of my best friends, and I doubt anything will ever come along that I don't trust him with.

No, I know you didn't say that- (your story is cute too btw) I think my general impression of the original secret and the responses, is that I was suprrised to see so many in agreement. I just wanted to add a little bit of a different perspective on the subject! :)

Thanks! I always loved my dad's take on his blind date where he met my mom. He told me how before their date, my mom's sisters had her do some favor and bring a book or something over to one of their houses. When my parents (to be) dropped it by the house, all the sisters just 'happened' to be there somehow to not-so-subtley check out my dad and give him the once over.

Understandably. I'm the same way when girls talk about how they're "uncomfortable" dating younger guys, because my mother is seven years older than my father and I've never seen a happier couple, so I tend to defend my stance on the subject a little, as well. XD

Haha, yeah, I know how that feels. I'm an only child, but I get the embarrassing friends-once-over to any date that happens along, myself. I currently live with two of my friends that I've had since high school, and every time I'd have a date coming to pick me up, they misteriously would have no plans so that they can meet him as he came in and also pester me when I get back and could dish to them how it went. XDD
