Who remembers when you met them? Vivid memories of the last time, though.

my previous significant other and myself met at a restaurant we both
were eating at, we had walked out the onto the deck, and that is when
we said a polite hello, and etc., we ran into one another at a later date
at the mall, recognized each other and said hello again, decided to go
to dinner that night...

He accidentally grabbed one of my boobs on the dancefloor so I punched him in the face 
We were both at a charity fundraising barn dance thingy, each with a separate group and had never met before. The dances were the kind where you turn and move on to the next partner throughout the song and at this particular moment my partner literally hurled me sideways to my next partner, who first waved his arms about in an effort to steady himself then reached out to grab me to try to steady me, since we had collided with some force, and unfortunately his hand missed my shoulder and grabbed a boob. I'm afraid I reacted instinctively with a punch and almost broke his nose. I was utterly offended, he was mortified, we retired to the bar for tissues to stop his nosebleed. He ordered us drinks and we spent the rest of the evening talking and getting to know each other. A year later he proposed and within 6 months we were married. Going on 30 years now. He still waves his arms about but I have learned to dodge the flailing hands and avoid boob nabbing. He still offends me, I still mortify him, and occasionally he needs tissues to stop a nosebleed. But we luvs each other and often recall with great fondness the catastrophe of our first meeting

I met my husband through my my brothers ex wife, her best friend lived next to my now husband in an apt complex, they hatched a plan to invite him over and went on a date the next weekend, he proposed on the first date on top of an Indian mound. He likes to tell people I said "boy your crazy take me home" and I did say that. I was only about 18 and well he was 19 years older. I had to go to college and grow up. Lots in between but about 2.5 years later we eloped and we will be married 41 years.
Great stories !

I think that the expression 'significant other' is derisory.
Non of us are animals in a cattle market, what is wrong with wife/husband, girlfriend/boyfriend?
I was talking about this to a lovely lady who lives over the road, i told her, "If you ever refer to me as your 'significant other', then you will have to find some 'other significant' to cut your grass in future."
She smiled, handed me a cup of tea, and said, "When they made you, Tim, they broke the mold."
I'm still trying to work out if she was being nice.

I first saw my wife on the first day of college Biology class, when we were in college in Oklahoma. I saw this auburn, cute girl walking in the room she set down in a chair near the center of the class. I was already seated in a side row of seats, so I was actually looking right at her. I tried not to stare, but I could not help myself, she was really attractive, and her auburn red hair was over the top! I tried to find out more about her but could not really get much other than she too was from Colorado. Following our mid-term test in class we got back out tests, I noticed she was visibly upset. So, after class I walked up to her and asked if she was alright. She said no, as she had received a D on the test. I told her I had a B on the test and that I got study help from an upper classman that had been in this class before. I offered to help her study and I told her I would share what I know about what might be on the final in a few weeks. We started to meet at the library and studied for this class. We studied and talked a lot. I also started taking her out on dates, as we really did hit it off. That was the fall of 1968. We were married at the end of 1970 and the rest is history! We have been married for over 50 years. She still is as cute as a button and has beautiful auburn red hair (w/a little help) ...
So, you knew exactly what you were getting into.
And you thought he was the whole package.
