I met my bf June or July 2001. I was working in a video store at the time and I was the manager on duty. I was on the work floor helping customers and putting away movies when he cam into the store.
He had his nephew with him who was 4 at the time and I thought it was his son, not unheard of, he was 19. I checked his hand and saw no wedding ring so I flirted with him as I tried to help him find a movie. As we were trying to pick a movie for his nephew he was telling me this joke he got over email. Well silly boy forgot the punchline. lol. I told him not to worry about it and gave him my email address. I told him to send me the joke.
When he left the store I was so mad at myself that I didnt get his number. I thought I had lost my chance, i didnt think he would email me. I got home that night and checked my email and there it was, the joke. He and I emailed back and forth, talked on ICQ, and on the phone until December when we finally decided to meet up.
This December is our 5 year anniversary, and I am dieing to get engaged!
