My husband was a snob. I couldn't forget what he said when we were introduced, "Looks can only go so far."

we actually met over the phone. her sister (my friend) was in the PI on vacation. she called me & said "hey someone want to say hi" handed her the phone....& it was on from there. yes i have every email, chat log, greeting card & letter from then until now.

We were chatting as friends on a mutual interest website for about 2 years before we actually 'met' in other than the general forum. I actually initiated the conversation by sending him an IM when I was having computer problems because I knew he worked with computers and hoped he would be able to help me solve my problem. The rest is history! I don't have a copy of the IM but I do have some of our early personal chats and emails still.

This thread inspired me to dig old files and re-read those emails. I can't wait for my husband to get home from work.

I met hubby in a chat room and at first I found him to be very annoying.. actually he still is annoying sometimes

but I love him to bits

i don't really remember the first things we said to each other... I just remember he would always PM me a smiley face every once in awhile.... which of course I first thought was annoying but after I while I kind of liked it ..

i probably was kind of rude to him.. I am amazed he stuck it out with me ....lol
I do remember the first email type thing he sent me though.. it was a friendly Valentine's card that had cats on it and he had written on it something like " because I know you like cats" that is actually when my feelings toward him started changing....
oh and because of hotmails old stupid small capacity limit I lost a lot of my emails because I moved a bunch of them to another email address but then I forgot to sign into it and it got deleted and then the rest of the emails got deleted when my original email account got shut down because I would forget to sign into it...

so I only have emails from the last few years...

I have all my messages .. saved.. since day one...
I sadly dont have the first 15 minutes of our conversation saved.. .. actually was on ICQ... chatting with some friends in the 40 something room.. ..
I have played a game online.. for many years.. Utopia.. so was chatting stratigy with another player... this person.. sends me this message.. simply .. Hi..
..I respond.. and.. who are you? and what gives you the idea I would want to talk to you??.... that was all it took.. hahahha
He introduced himself.. and I thought he was pulling my leg.. since he said his name was Jan... I said. yeah right.. .. cause Im Jan..
he moved over to MSN... put on his cam.. gave me a big smile.. just to prove he was not kidding... .. we spent the following 12 hours nonstop talking.. .. didnt sleep.. went right to work.. and talked again.. the following.. afternoon... to morning.. .. .. .. ..
hard to believe someone can be so like you.. so far away... .. to this day we never have a gap in what to say...
just wish we could finally be together.. but hey.. we have the rest of our lives... and sometimes.. life puts other things in our way....

Our very first messages were via PM on a site that we're now both banned from. So, I don't have those. First email....yeah, I have that. It was Mags waffling on about Scotland and stuff. lol We emailed & chatted as friends for a few months, and then one day *pow!* we were "together".

The very first email was one that Justin sent to all the managers at my work (me included), subject: "coming to meet you!" and just said something on the lines that he was travelling to Buenos Aires and he was very excited to meet us all and looking forward to working with us...and a picture of him on the snow. I thought the email was kind of goofy

Saludos,

we never had an e-mail introducing ourselves, since we didn't meet through a dating website. But I don't think neither of us has our first e-mail that was actually about us, cuz I thought he was an a$$ for like over a year we knew each other and then he became an adorable a$$ and then he was just adorable with occasional as$hole behavior (which he still is), that's when I fell in love with him

Jun 18 2008, 07:40 AM
Nick and I met on a video game so we were chatting for awhile before he actually sent me an email which simply said:
"Laura, I really like you and I'm missing you while you are at work"

I've kept every single email Nick has ever sent me on myspace and in my inbox.

Yes - but it is really boring! Like a few other people here we met on a forum so our first conversations (in threads and then on IM) have long been lost. The first few e-mails were either forwarded stories, music files or instructions for editing a photo in a specific way that had been promised in those conversations.

I looked mine up. It said something like, "Here is the request for the police certificate. Sign it and fax it back to me."
So romantic, huh?
I had to teach him everything he knows about the internet because he really started from scratch. Needless to say, that's not how we met.

We met in person, but our relationship didn't really *bloom* until he went back to Toronto. He apparently exported them all to a txt file being the super geek he is. I do have one that exemplified the super geekified boy he is though! It said something like:

Pure geek and I love it! Soooo sweet.

I don't have a first e-mail or text message, as my fiancé and I met on a video game and were friends for a long time first. But now we both save every text conversation and email since we realized what we felt. Some great sweet e-mails from mein Schatz. He reminds me all the time that I'm the only pink sharky for him.

The forum we met on crashed and burned. I'd love to be able to print off some of those old posts for my daughter to see how our relationship evolved, but it's gone....even tried the "way way back machine" and couldn't retrieve anything......don't have the old emails either....was on AOL way back when.....

We met in a chat room through a mutual friend and at the time we both got on each others nerves haha, long debates (wish I still had em) he says I was a hard ### and that I always had an answer for everything (still have those answers lol) He has more messages saved then I do (he says I am the "man" in the relationship haha) I have all our msn convos since dec and tons of emails ... but nothing from the "friend" period which would give me a good chuckle to read now since we really butted heads

I believe we exchanged our first email about 8 years after we first met, as Al Gore had invented the internet but not yet made in widely accessible in 1991.
I still have it because I delete nothing
