We moved on, each married someone else, then divorced. We "re-met" on Halloween at a bar. My parents thought I was at a Halloween party (moved back in with them after my divorce) so we kind if fudged the truth a little. NIIICE :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-2019562 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 21:59:16 +0000 pastemoo 2019562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: I LOVE it. LOL.<br /> @kiddosc: New town, not safe enough to go out and walk home--no fun if someone has to DD.<br /> Thanks for the tips, and sorry it took me a week to get back to everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1986705 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 12:50:40 +0000 mamimami 1986705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Related note... my parents met at a bar and they kept up this LIE about having met at a "party" for all my childhood until sometime when I was in my late teens or early 20s and I thought to ask them whose party it was, and they both hemmed and hawed and the truth came out! So have a good story if you won't be telling your LOs the 100% truth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1986689 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 12:45:08 +0000 cascademom 1986689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we met in a bar. We do movies and dinner as our dates. We like food fests too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1986584 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:55:59 +0000 travellingbee 1986584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically we met in a bar but that is only because we were both there for a birthday party and were kind of set up. So it wasn't just random. Sometimes I miss going out. We went out this weekend (after a Christmas party) while my parents had LO overnight. It was fun but the recovery wasn't. I felt way too old for partying! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1986583 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:55:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 1986583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically we did meet in the bar (photo proof of a "random guy" buying us shots) however we didn't really "meet" until several years later at a wedding reception. I don't count the first time since 1) I had a boyfriend and 2) it wasn't like we "met" it was just a drunk guy buying a group of friends shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1986573 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:54:03 +0000 .twist. 1986573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we did meet in a bar. He was the bouncer and I was a semi-regular... ha.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1986559 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:51:28 +0000 ValentineMommy 1986559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't meet at a bar (we met in high school), but we REmet up at a bar many years later for our first "date", that neither of us knew would end up as a date. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1986541 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:45:01 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1986541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - but we did meet at a fraternity house which isn't much different in a lot of ways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1984120 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 15:57:11 +0000 snowjewelz 1984120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Far from it... We met at church! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1984097 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 15:30:49 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1984097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I met my husband and every serious boyfriend I had in a bar. So funny because I've dated people I met through work and in other ways but all the big ones were in NYC bars. To be honest I hate going to bars. I love restaurants and lounges can be okay but for me going out past age 30 was just something I did to see friends or get out of my little NYC studio. I miss being able to do so now and then but I'd say I miss movies and dinners out more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1984094 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 15:26:02 +0000 kiddosc 1984094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: why can't you still go out to bars? </p> <p>We met at a bar, we still enjoy going out for a few drinks. Usually on date nights well go for a nice dinner and then hit up a more laid back bar for a drink or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1984082 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 15:14:50 +0000 bpcmarj 1984082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I was working there and my sister told him to come meet me. I am not sure that counts :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1984032 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 14:01:10 +0000 Rockies11 1984032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met at a bar. We still love bars, but I don't get out at alll these days because I am pregnant. When we had LO and I wasn't pregnant, we didn't go to bars often but we went to pubs and restaurants that served alcohol. We really like drinking, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983996 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 13:26:06 +0000 Dandelion 1983996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Online and then Target.</p> <p>We don't go to bars. We generally only drink at home or when we're out with our extended family at a restaurant that has a bar in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983975 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 13:05:16 +0000 Espion 1983975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met in a coffeeshop, but we went to the bar across the street to get something to eat to extend our conversation. :)</p> <p>We both enjoy unassuming "regulars" bars. We have a mini list to try for when we get to reassume some sort of date night next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983967 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 12:59:18 +0000 Cherrybee 1983967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. </p> <p>I miss going out. We mostly sit at home in front of the TV these days, which I hate (I never even had a TV in my own home until DH moved in). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983934 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 12:24:00 +0000 youboots 1983934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But BIL and SIL met in a bar. </p> <p>We have spent a lot of time in Bars together over the years. Our local Tavern is kid friendly within reason so LO will be going there with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983931 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 12:23:10 +0000 BandDmommy 1983931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met at a bar! He was interested in me but I was dating someone at the time. He kept texting me and once I broke up with that guy we went to dinner together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983926 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 12:19:49 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1983926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Not only a bar, but a bar we were locked into because a flash riot (like a flash mob, but dangerous and with lots of property damage) broke out in the street. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983880 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 11:28:38 +0000 Shutterbug 1983880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't, but my brother met his wife in a bar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983879 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 11:27:52 +0000 AmandaB8 1983879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I met in high school - so nope.</p> <p>We try and find live piano music - not too loud for DD, and she loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983858 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 11:01:35 +0000 yoursilverlining 1983858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't meet in a bar, but we went to a local bar for our first date! Sadly, it went out of business a few years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983855 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 10:55:15 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1983855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I voted no because I technically met him on Match.com (so romantic haha) but then I remembered that our first date was to see live music at a bar...so I guess I really DID meet him at a bar! Sadly, live music is a thing of the past (but hopefully future!) right now. By the time a band goes on, even if we had a babysitter, it is way past my bedtime. Maybe when we are out of the baby years....right now watching a redbox movie after little man is in bed or meeting some friends for drinks/dinner at like 7 is the extent of our "nightlife". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983852 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 10:53:35 +0000 lemondrop 1983852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but much of our dating happened in bars. We still take the boys with us out to dinner at breweries regularly (many will have early open mic nights so we still get music) and the rare date night is usually to a wine bar with live music. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983850 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 10:51:15 +0000 meganmp 1983850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did!</p> <p>We still go out to bars, but we found kid friendly places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983800 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:21:18 +0000 artsyfartsy 1983800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 16 when I met DH. So nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983791 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:16:30 +0000 dc yoga bee 1983791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't drink, so nope! DH loves craft beers so I'm really surprised he didn't meet his future wife at one of the bars in our college town. I was always in the library during law school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983788 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:12:08 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1983788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically. We met at a going away party thrown by a mutual friend, but it was at a bar. DH loves to tell people he "picked me up at a bar" because he knows it embarrasses me. Now we're more likely to go to a nice dinner or friend's house when we "go out." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-meet-in-a-bar#post-1983787 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:11:56 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1983787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't meet at a bar but we still love going to them! </p>
