Match.com! Wasn't love at first sight but we knew pretty quickly this was something special and amazing. Been together 2 1/2 years and getting married in Sept. I can't wait to marry him!!0

In a chat room. We were young so we couldn't meet in person until many years later. We both went through a lot of relationships but always had feelings for each other. Finally after about 4 years we were in a place where we could try and be together. He came to visit me and he was amazing. Then, a year and a half later I moved to Cali to be with him and now 7 years later I haven't spent more than a few hours away from him. I could not see myself with anyone else. Its feels like if I hadn't been in that chat room at the time I was, we would never have met.0

Freshman year of college, one of the first weeks was the first time I ever saw my now husband. We were both 18. He was with another girl but i thought "ooo cute guy!". Later on he messaged me on facebook and we discovered we lived in the same dorm. We dated for a couple of weeks, but neither of us were ready for something serious. Long story short, we reconnected before sophomore year and found out that by random accident we were in the same dorm AGAIN!! we talked all summer and when we finally saw each other again, he told me he loved me. We've been together since 2007 and have been married since October '11! We're inseparable.0

Love at first sight. I was a belly dancer and he was the waiter at a Lebanese restaurant and all he could ask in English is if I wanted more mint tea. To this day I hate mint tea and at the time I kept pouring it into the plant next to my table so he would keep coming over. 32 years later, a 31 year old daughter and a 29 year old son, he's still trying to serve me mint tea and I'm still belly dancing!
This one's my favorite so far. 0 -
i met my fiance my freshman year of college almost five years ago! The first week of school I wanted to start working out, so I went to the pool. He was the lifeguard. I started talking to him since I really didn't know anyone at college yet. I was 18 going into mathematics and education, he was 21 going into computer science. Math and computer science are the same department at my college so he gave me some pointers on classes and professors. He had a girlfriend at the time, but the relationship was rocky. After a month, he had left her and we started seeing each other. A few weeks later he officially asked me out.
I moved in with him last June. It's been great. We support each other and we've been working out together. In October of last year he proposed on a hot air balloon ride at sunrise. Absolutely perfect.
We are currently looking into having a small wedding at Walt Disney World next summer.

I met my husband at a Sportsmens's Club on a lake near my house in 1977. I had been at the lake swimming all day with my friend and his high school agriculture class had built a paddleboat to compete in a race later. They were all there to try out the boat to see if it even floated. The guys kept staring at us girls but we ignored them completely until we realized it was getting late, we had a long walk home and I'd be grounded if I wasn't home before dark. We met 2 of the guys the day before but didn't really 'know' them and I approached one of them to 'borrow' a comb to comb out my hair before it dried. Another guy that was with the 2 guys asked if we needed a ride and we said YES! Then on the way home 2 of the guys asked us if we'd go to a movie with them the next night. He showed up, we all went out and they asked us out again. My girlfriend left for 4 weeks of vacation and I was invited to go out again by my date. Alone, just the two of us. I was really nervous! We really enjoyed each other and fell in love quickly. We were officially dating within a few months, engaged in a year and married a year later.
It has been 35 years since we met, married 33 years this October. We have 3 absolutely wonderful grown kids and 2 beautiful grandchildren.
I have truly been blessed by knowing him and I wouldn't change a thing.
We have had good times and some bad times over the years but that's life. Enjoy the good times, remember them and make memories daily because time really does fly!
P.S. The boat they built totally fell apart in the race and sank. lol0 -
Was not looking for a relationship after my divorce. I went out to a bar one night with my brother and met through mutual friends. Lust at first sight although I am 6 years older than him. He thought I was a complete b***ch. I probably was, I was still bitter. We exchanged numbers at the end of the night, but when he called the next day I blew him off. When the next weekend rolled around I wanted someone to go out with so I called him up. When we met up I made it clear the only thing we could be was friends with "benefits." We've been together for 3 1/2 years and married for 2.

Out with girlfriends at a bar that was doing Karaoke. He walked in looking amazingly ripped and gorgeous. One of my friends knew of him so I insisted she introduce us. He sang U2 "With or Without you". I wanted to molest him. Married for almost 11 years.0

Online dating site (www.okcupid.com). We emailed for a couple weeks before he asked me out on a date. We moved in together 6 months later, and were married last year.0

I met my hubby in grad school. I knew we'd get married after the first night we went out, and we were engaged two months after our first date! Happily married 11 years.
My parents was love at first sight for dad, who knew he'd marry my mom (although he was in process of divorcing first wife). They've been married about 40 years. My dad says he has never taken off his ring (and now it's stuck).
Also my boyfriend in college it was love at first sight for his dad and mom.
I think that applies more to men, and women have to be woo'd. 0 -
My husband and I went to high school together. He said he saw me every day, but I never noticed him. We "officially" met at age 20 when I was working at a local bar/pool hall in November 2005. He started working there as well, and I took extreme notice to him. He didn't know that my little brother and sister worked there as well as hostesses/food runners and was asking them all about me!
We started talking that night and on the phone and instantly became inseparable. We had pretty much become official from the day we met. Fast forward three months later and he left for the Navy. Being 20, I had this mindset of "I'm still young, if it works, awesome! If not, whatever!" LOL. We wrote each other every single day while he was gone in boot came and I went with his family to IL for his graduation in March 2006. We kept in touch the next two months of his training, and in May 2006 he came home on leave and proposed!
We both got scared of what we were getting into. His parents raised him Christian and advised him not to marry me (Jewish) while my parents told me we were too young and not to marry him because they wanted me to marry a nice Jewish boy and keep the faith going. We ended up breaking up. He was stationed in GA and not even a week after we broke up, we started talking again all day, every day. Every chance we could. Absence made the heart grow fonder. We would visit each other once a month, and than got married almost a year to the date we met in November 2006.
It wasn't love at first sight. It was lust at first sight. We had an extremely rocky relationship including the death of one of my best friends, an accidental suicide of a mutual friend, my mother having a hip replacement and undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Our apartment was flooded and broken into, his dad passed away. We left our house and eventually filed bankruptcy. We both had anger issues that lead to marital disputes, and occasionally the county police!
All of this happened before the age of 24 and it was a lot to deal with being so young. After he was out of the military, we split up. He moved in with his mom and I moved in with my parents.
His father always told us to find a church and plant our buts there. After splitting, I listened. I began going to church with his mom and sister. I was there every Wednesday, Saturday evening and Sunday morning, absorbing every word I could. Within three months, God reunited our family. We put our past in the past and build our "new" relationship with Jesus in the center of it, and all the glory goes to Him! It's been two years since getting back together, and almost seven years together, but I don't think we would be where we were if we didn't take the focus off ourselves and each other and put it on THE ONE who created us.0 -

I love your story. I love, even more, that you give the glory to God and put Him at the center of your relationship. May God continue to bless your marriage! 0 -

My husband and I also had a lot to deal with in our relationship. My mom was diagnosed with leukemia; hubby totaled my car; my parents almost ran themselves into bankruptcy trying to keep my dad's truck up and running (he was an owner/operator truck driver), while trying to figure out how to pay for her medication ($3,000/month for the leukemia medication alone) ; I was on suicide watch with my mom, having to count her pills every night after she fell asleep to make sure she didn't overdose like she told her psychiatrist she wanted to; I started college in the middle of all this and was terrified as it was something so new (I hated school with a passion and swore I wouldn't ever go back); we were fighting horribly with his mom & brother (sometimes even getting physically violent with us); Our basement flooded badly due to one of the hurricanes (our bedroom was in the basement); With so much going on in such a short period of time, I hadn't had the chance to break down about my mom's cancer diagnosis, and finally it all hit me one day when she wasn't home from the store when I thought she should've been. I was hyperventilating, sobbing so hard, my stomach hurt so bad, but no tears ever came out. It was the strangest thing. I couldn't control one second of any of it. Hubby and I made it through all of that somehow.0 -

Although we didn't start dating until many years later, this is how I met my boyfriend (who I've been with for 3 1/2 years, very happily):
When I was 14 I had this best friend who was kind of a bad influence. Her mom worked nights and her dad lived in a nursing home (he'd had a severe stroke) so it was mostly her alone all the time. Anyway, we would always invite boys over and get someone to buy us wine coolers and stupid stuff like that. So one night, she says "Hey, let's go to this guy's house, he lives across the main street, we can just walk there." So I say ok.
We leave her house at like midnight, and run across the main street and into the next neighborhood. We enter some random backyard gate, and she taps on a window. This SUPER cute boy, who I recognized from school (he was very popular and on the baseball team) opens the window and lets us climb in. Then my friend, and another boy (friend of the cute boy) go off into another room as she says "We just have to go talk in this other room." My idiot naive self actually thought they were talking.
So here I am, sitting in this cute, popular boy's bedroom, SO awkward, I'd never even had a boyfriend before, I didn't even know how to act. It was the longest time of my life waiting for my friend to come back, making awkward small talk with Mr. Popular. Finally she comes back, we go to sneak back out the window, SET OFF THE HOUSE ALARM, and take off running like the wind down the street.
After that, Mr. Popular always said hi to me at school with a really uncomfortable grin on his face because it was JUST SO AWKWARD. FYI--I was NOT Ms. Popular. I was vice president of the show choir. I mean, come on.
We ran into each other in college, he wound up playing baseball for the school I went to. Then we kept randomly running into each other places about twice a year, a bar, the mall...it was fate, I guess, because a month after I got out of an abusive relationship with my son's father, I ran into him again (at a bar, it just happened to be his birthday too), one of my girlfriends told me to give him my #, so I did, he called me the next day and asked me out to dinner....the rest is history 0 -

Isn't it funny how life works? That "bad influence" led you to your future.0 -

Work. Wife and I were both in the Air Force (she has since retired). She drove the refuelling truck and I was the aircraft maintenance technician and as the the fuel was going in there was flirting going on. It then ended with a casual "see you at the club" where there was drinking, dancing general good times going on and one night led to another and another and eventually a wedding!0

We knew each other in high school but reconected on Pleanty of fish. I refused to date him and would constantly make plans and then cancel but we always talked over BBM. I told him I loved him before we had even gone out! One Friday, I had the flu and was so sick and he insisted on coming over and watching movies and we've been together since. Hes my little donkey 0

:blushing: <<<
I met him on POF. I was being a man eater and enjoying it. A guy hadn't came along that was worth it (although I was crushing on a friend of mine for a couple of months). He's awesome and I'm just mush over him. It's UNLIKE me.
I don't believe in love at first sight but we had chemistry online, then over text then on the phone... and then we met in person and we couldn't stop giggling the whole time. It was unreal!!!
I don't kiss on 1st date usually but did with him. He asked me out the next night and have been together ever since. We've been official for 3 weeks now. :bigsmile:0 -
I was a designated driver for a friend for a 4th of July party. He was the guitar player at the party. It all started over crawfish. 3 months later we were married. 13 years it'll be in December.
Just to add, I was 18, he was 22. I was supposed to be the DD for my friend the night before but stood him up so me and a g/f could go to the beach. If I wouldn't have stood him up the night before then chances are I would've never went to the party and met my hubby. Everything fell into place. It's amazing how it can all work out. 0 -
College.
I wouldn't say it was "Love at first sight" since we insulted and hated each other when we first met.0
