Sat across the aisle from each other in plane geometry class. Just friends. First date was in July after school was out.
By the way, that was in 1964.6 -

I had been living in rural Japan for two years, and about a week after I moved back home to Canada, I went out to a pub with a friend. He was literally the first guy to approach me. He spoke English. (Sort of - he's Aussie). After two long years, that was good enough for me, and 14 years later we are married with 2 beautiful little girls.3

We actually met delivering children in kindergarden. I was just ending a long marriage, and feeling pretty low. Then just suddenly I saw this girl, just a blink, and knew I had to see her, so the next couple of days I searched the kindergarden when I delivered or picked up, before I saw her again. We just (I thought I was descrete as hell, and not used to getting attention, so didn't suspected response) looked at each other for a long time. I am way to shy to tolk to a stranger...but apparently she had noticed (and so had half the staff there...) so we started talking...and never stopped. We're celebrating our first aniversary next weekend. AND our daughter ( I have two kids and she has one from previous relationship) is off course attending the same kindergarden, so they have followed us from first time we saw each other.2

He used to race sprint cars. In the winter time, he would keep his racing going by going indoor karting. I worked at that karting place behind the bar. We knew each other for a couple years until we both became single, then all of sudden we looked at each other in a way we never did before. He took me out on a date and we fell crazy in love! A year later he proposed. 6 years later we're still together and we have 3 kids ♥ 1

I was dating one of his friends. He was divorcing, I stopped seeing his friend (who was an *rseh*le), and then we didn't see each other for ages, until the evening when I fell out of a train (drunk) and landed almost on top of him waiting on the platform. We swapped numbers, and after becoming friends, started dating, married in Vegas, now have a 17 year old son.4

We met over the summer in my college's weight room (she went to the rival school, but lived in the town where I went to school). She was getting ready for volleyball season while I was getting ready for football. We were the only two people working out at that time of day for several days in a row. I'm not one to disrupt a workout but I figured I would talk to her since we were the only ones there (I certainly didn't want to be rude). I wasn't really interested in pursuing a relationship at the time, I was just trying to be friendly. I approached her and told her I thought she was doing an exercise incorrectly (She told me months later that she was not impressed by this), but agreed that the guy who created her workout probably did not know what he was doing. Our paths continued to cross and we continued to get to know each other and eventually started hanging out in the evenings, outside of the weight room. About 2 years later we were married, and will celebrate our 7 year anniversary in a couple of days. We have a 2.5 year old, one on the way, and could not be happier.3

Massage Therapy. I was an LMT working out of a Chiropractic Clinic. Jan was referred to me for therapy after an Auto Accident.2

I met mine on... Tinder! We both were using it strictly as a dating app so it worked out 3

I dated a friend of his back in the day. I randomly met him the night his son was born, but he was engaged (or maybe even married at that point) so nothing happened. We stayed Myspace/Facebook friends for years. One day he randomly sent me a Facebook message and we started talking, and the rest was history!1

On the job -- he worked for a client of the law firm where I worked at the time. He was a voice on the phone until we met in person (a group lunch between both offices -- non-work related, social only). He was very shy, and I got the nerve to ask him to go with me to a house party that one of the gals I worked with at the law firm was throwing. Dated 1.5 years, engaged 1.5 years, married nearly 28 years.2

We met on eHarmony. He was the first guy I was matched to, started talking on there, moved to texting, went out on our first date a week later, and been together ever since. Together 2 1/2 years, married 10 months.

The big no-no: Never get your meat where you get your bread. But I'm a rebel.
Was newly single, started working where I do now. One of the staff electricians caught my eye because he was adorable, and when he smiled? His eyes lit up. Apparently, he felt the same about me. He used to come into my office (it was kind of the hub for the maintenance guys to grab work orders, etc.) and my then-boss started chasing him out. Then cups of coffee started showing up on my desk when I came to work; fixed just the way I liked.
My supervisor lectured me over a soda in the cafeteria, and then my director (who was also HIS director) lectured me in his office about inappropriate relationships in the work place. Thing is? We weren't even dating. Apparently he got the same scolding from his boss and the director. This was in 2001.
We didn't actually start seeing each other until the spring of 2002. We married in December 2003, so this year will make 15 years married.
He medically retired from here in 2009 after an injury, and I am still here, albeit in a different department. 3 -
I was divorced just over two years, single Mom working three jobs trying to keep the house for my son and I. After agonizing I decided it was time to sell the house because it was just taking too much time away from spending time with my son. Put the house on the market, sells in that same day. The buyers inspection had some electrical work that they wanted done before the sale. My friend said his cousin was an electrician and he would have him come and see what needs to be done. My friend and his cousin met me at my 2nd job (bartending) on that Sunday. I showed him the paperwork from the inspection, we talked about what needed to be done and he left. The following week he showed up at my house to do the work with his 2 year old son and his cousin. After he was done with the work I asked him how much did I owe him and he said nothing. I was like no really I have to pay you for your work. We went back and forth and he said you can buy me a drink sometime no worries. His cousin then said he is going to be over at the bar tonight after he drops his son off if you want to make good on that drink. They left and well I blew the guy off because I started thinking, I am going to go by myself to a bar to meet up with a guy I don't know???? A month goes by and its time to move so my friend comes over and he brought his same cousin to help me move.
We spent hours moving all the stuff out of my house, it was an emotional day for me but this guy, a complete stranger, who I blew off mind you, was making jokes making me laugh trying to keep my spirits up.
After a long day we all went to get something to eat and my friend ended up leaving and I had no car so his cousin drove me to my new place. We sat in the car for hours just talking. As I was getting out of the car, he leaned in and kissed me good bye (to this day he will tell the kids I leaned in but hes was the leaner) LOL We were thick as thieves for the next 4 months, ended up moving in together. One day we were sitting in the car waiting for my ex husband to drop my son off after his weekend and he looked over at me and asked me to marry him. I laughed and said no... to my defense I thought he was joking as we literally spoke at length about not wanting to get remarried, that we would live together and be a family but no marriage. When I realized it was a serious proposal my heart sunk and I said ask me again and he was like nope. He waited almost another 3 months before he asked me again. I obviously said yes that time. lol On the 22nd of this month we will be married 16 years. We have three beautiful sons and still laugh to this day about how I said NO. Looking forward to the next 16 years!!!4 -
At a bar. Thought he was too young to be there (he's actually 4 years older than me). 15 years tomorrowAt a bar. I had just met him and used him to keep another guy from bothering me. 10+ yrs and going.At a bar called The Hitching Post, no lie! I was in the military at a location I had been once before for some training and went out with the guys to do what we do.....not much:-) and this young pretty lady smacked my leg after telling some unremarkable joke. I told her to never hit me again. I really don't like it after years and years of being the recipient of a few bullies attention. Anyway with that attitude I didn't expect to get much attention, I was wrong. (Turns out she was intrigued by a guy NOT wanting her attention) So that night I decided to marry her. It took 6 weeks to propose, she was technically still married, otherwise I would have proposed sooner. We have been married ever since, 26 yrs now.
At a bar. I had no idea there were so many of us! 2 -

I was his boss at a customer service company. We met in May and married in Sept of 2002. He had to move to another department when we married. Neither of us are still with the same company now. But we are still married and happy.1

Met in an AOL chatroom like 17 years ago lol. Hung out a time or two and faded into memory. Stumbled upon each other on Tinder last year and wished we started all this 17 years sooner. Welcomed our first baby 3 months ago. 5

You were delivering children in kindergarten already? What kind of dr school is this?
Edit: also, are you old enough to be using the internet?2
