And my question is this: Where did you meet your significant other (present and/or past) or best friend, or someone important to you? It can be a strange place to meet someone, or it can be common. ie: I travel a lot for work, and meet some of the most incredible people in some of the strangest places (like when I met a friend of mine as we both mistakenly entered the ladies room instead of the men's room !!!!! That was over 2 years ago in the Orlando, Florida airport, and we are best friends today !!!)
Celebrate your life... embrace your love... Become intimate with your place in forever !!!

I like this question a lot...... ok here it is..... ( i'm 16 years old by the way )
well... i was on a chatroom looking at some profiles when i noticed a guy had some very interesting pictures. As i looked closer there was in one of the girl that seemed very familiar. Then it hit me... she was the girl that sat right behind me in my 3th period class (military class ). I could not believe my eyes when i saw it so i had to talk to the guy. I started talking to him and told him i knew his cousin ( the girl in the picture ), i told him the whole story... it was just too weird all i thought about was this is a small world after all. Anyways... he told me that she knew about him being gay and was ok with it.. in fact they were very good friends because of it.. he adviced me to tell her and not be afraid because she would understand. Indeed she did... the next day i went to school and just mentioned three things : Andy ( her cousin ), I know him, talked online....... he knew right away what i was. I still remember her expression.... she was telling me how cool it was that i was gay cause in fact she is lesbian ( small world ). Ever since then we became better friends than before and we usually tell each other everything and hang out in school making fun of people ( well not all the time but just having fun )
Interesting how i met my friend...........
You don't love someone because they are beautiful, they are beautiful because you love them.

I guess there have been three people in my life who I would place in this category.
The first was a boy I met at school. We were four years apart and had no reason to ever become friends, yet the feelings I had and still have for him are in many ways the greatest love story never told.
The second was a young man I met at work. We became lovers and eventually spent many happy years together as a couple before he decided that stability, commitment, and monogamy were not for him.
The third is a girl (SHOCK! HORROR!) with whom I work most days and have done for the last two years. I care about her deeply and if I could be certain that she even began to feel the same way then I would certainly explore possibilities.
The thing that links all three of these individuals is that we met because we were all in a situation which pitched us together for reasons other than purely to get to know each other. The fact that we did get to know each other and become more than just acquaintances always came from the basis of being around each other for other reasons: in other words the relationship was always based on the practicality of getting on with the task in hand rather than an attraction to each other. The attraction came months, or in one case years, later.
I genuinely believe that this is the best foundation for a relationship, because when the attraction and lust goes (as it surely does?) then you always have the original soulmatedom (is that a word?) which brought you together in the first place to fall back on.
I have met a number of people in strange places who have turned out to be quite valuable friends. One of my good friends I met in the departure lounge of the ferry between Northern Ireland and Scotland. Another I met because we shared a table in a busy restaurant. There is one who I met through this board or one of its cousins, for whom it took eighteen months to meet in a setting other than his hospital room. They are all valuable and honored friends, but the three I described above are in a different league.
Just my two cents' worth.

i know this thread is a bit out of date, but i thought my contribution might be amusing.
six years ago, i was in a chatroom (the attic, in the now defunct Chathouse) and ran into a young man from Arkansas. i was accessing the 'net from my workstation, so i couldn't talk a lot, but we did whenever we could. we became quite close--very dear friends.
Then i changed jobs and lost access, and didn't hear from him for six years...i figured he was a part of my history, someone who remained unresolved but who would have to remain that way. I thought of him often, but after i got access of my own, searches of various types didn't turn anything up.
four months ago, i got a letter. it was from him...he wanted to re-establish contact...after six long years. amazing! I wrote him back and said "of course!"
at the end of the week he is coming to visit...life is very strange.
