Two I met in residence and things just happened.
One I met at work (he didn't work there, he was a user of the computer
I was operating). He asked me out and I wasn't particularly attracted
but went out anyway. That lasted over 4 years!
Three I met through an amateur theatre group. I "stalked" (is that
what you do on the prowl?) two of them and with the other it was
pretty mutual.
My current flame was an acquaintance for many years & I suddenly noticed,
one day as we were chatting, that he'd changed from a skinny hack
to an attractive man. It only took me about 6 weeks to work up the nerve
to ask him out! (After making sure he was included on every group
outing during that time and going over to chat with him on each outing).
The theatre group was a big win for romance. Scores of relationships, both
short-lived and otherwise have started between its members.
