My gf and I met at a bar. Been together 6 years next month. I was one of those that thought I'd never meet anyone decent at a bar but was happily proved wrong.

Walked into the bar with a couple of friends and immediately saw her. She was sitting at a table with a friend and looked a bit bored. We made eye contact but when I turned around after getting a drink she was gone. Later in the evening we ventured to another area of the bar which was a dance club. She was on the dance floor with several guys trying to dance with her. She basically brushed them all aside and continued dancing on her own. Not being a dancer, I waited to approach her away from the dance floor. As I walked towards her, she did a test tube shot. I said hello and asked if I could buy her a drink (pretty original ehh?). She gave me this evil look and said "I just had one. "

I'm thinking, "WOW, I read that wrong." I thought we had made strong eye contact and had been attracted to each other. I said, something like "Damn, nevermind." and started to walk away. She grabbed me and said "Wait she didn't mean it that way." We started talking a bit and were really hitting it off. Her friend was obviously not real happy about it though. The friend kept pushing her to leave and finally said they had to go right now. Before she left I asked for her number and she spent about 4 or 5 minutes writing something on a piece of paper. I'm thinking she's writing a novel or making up a number to give me. Turned out she was writing down like three different numbers where I could get in touch with her.

I called her two nights later (yeah I played the don't call the next day game) and we talked for hours on the phone. We set up a date and place to meet. I was to meet her at her college's student center. When I got there I didn't see her. There was a girl at a table doing some work with her head down. I approached her but it wasn't who I was looking for. Right then she came in the door and off we went to a bar with a live band. We sat at a table and talked for hours. People around us struck up conversations with us and commented about what a perfect couple we made and asked how long we had been together. They were shocked to know this was our first date.

The next thing I knew the lights in the bar came on. I thought there was a fire or something but they announced last call and I was amazed. We had talked for more than 5 hours without a clue how late it was.
