GYKY: How did you and your SO meet?

I was dating his best friend! That guy was a total jerk and cheated on me with several girls. DH and I flirted on the hour long drive to pick up my then bf from jail. Hah, classy story! I think I'll just stick with "we met through friends" when G gets older and asks

@ a bar. Our first 3-4 dates were all at bars. Yep, I'm that girl.

Blind date by mutual friends.

In my late mid twenties, as a single parent of two children thanks to cancer- I really wasn't interested in a serious, emotional relationship. Plus, everyone I had gone out with after losing my husband had been clingy and ready to get married, like, yesterday. So when my childhood best friend said she had the perfect guy for me, I rolled my eyes. Ack. Apparently she had been on my Facebook when he was over hanging out with her husband, and he had his interest piqued. I put off meeting him for a few months, and eventually I caved. DH recalls our first date as me being an 'ice princess', uninterested and with my head in my phone. As a group, the four of us went over to my would-be husband's house, and I put off leaving for fear he would try to kiss me, and I never handle those situations well. That ended up turning into us talking for several hours, and he didn't try to kiss me when we said goodbye.
