      OK. New topic. For those who have significiant others, how did 
you meet them?

       In my case it was a little weird. I was in a semi-serious 
relationship when my bf took a job that would take him completely 
out of the picture for the summer. On his suggestion, we decided to 
see other people for the few months he would be gone. A few weeks 
later, a good friend of mine and her bf put together a big group 
trip to the beach, she even invited this guy who worked at the local 
Friendly's restaurant because she thought he had a cute butt. (I 
later found out she was trying to set me up.) This guy and I ended 
up walking up and down the beach for four hours talking. Three days 
later, we had our first kiss, and eight months later we were 
married. Thirteen years now and still going strong. (BTW at the time 
I was 19 and he was 23.)
