    Met at our son's 4th grade school VIP Day. I went with my Mom, he was there alone. We all played Life together. Definitely attraction at first sight! I asked my son if DH was single and he said no, so put him out of my mind.

    Several weeks later I was on a date at a local bar and saw him out with friends. Did more research and found that he was divorced. I didn't think he would ask me out because he saw me out (with a guy he knew - a jerk), so I found his phone number and called and asked him out! :blushing: He said yes, later he told me he did the happy dance around his apartment :happy:

    Married for twenty years now and still in love :love:

    thee-short + Rzarrector <3

    We met playing call of duty online. We lived so far away, in different states, spent weeks just talking every day and staying up every night until 6 am or so with each other on the phone.. a few months later we decided we've had enough, so he came over to be with me and lived in my room for a week without my parents ever knowing ! :O Three months later, he came for another week.. and then two months later he stayed for a whole month.. then about four months after that, he moved his 19 year old self away from his family and friends and he lives just up the road from me now :) We spend every day together, but I always feel bad because he misses home SO SO SO much. :(
    I love him to bits, and even though things seem to be falling apart now, I know that we'll make it..

    I met my husband at a Sci-Fi Convention in 1988 or '89 (this one was Dr. Who & Blakes 7 themed). We had a mutual friend who introduced us, and we all kind of hung out together with a bunch of other friends. There was no romantic interest at first (I was 34, he was 23, too young for me, so I thought) so we became good friends first. It wasn't until August '89 that we realized something more had developed and had our first real date. He proposed in August 1990, and we were married in February 1991 and have been happily married now for 21 years!

    I guess I would like to add the addundum of How old were you when you met. Everyone seems to be finding love so young it is a little discouraging at times.

    Never give up hope, if it's meant to happen, it will! I didn't find my "true love" until I stopped looking! As I said in my earlier post, I didn't meet my husband until I was around 33 or 34, didn't get married until I was 35. For many years I had tried computer dating, taking night school classes that were supposedly of interest to guys, blind dates, etc., and it was all such a waste of time. It wasn't until I stopped actively looking and just started attending activities with friends for the pure enjoyment of seeing and doing things that I liked that I actually was able to form a deep friendship there that turned into true love.

    I was 15, and my fiance was 18. When we get married he'll be 25, and I'll be 22. Don't worry, it will happen. Sometimes it just takes longer, don't be discouraged.

    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.

    Met online actually. And I blew him off a couple times before we actually went out - but he was persistent - and we've been together ever since. I don't believe in love at first sight, but I did know there was something special about him from the beginning! :) First date Labor Day 2011, started living together Nov 2011. :)

    I met this guy on a dating website, who ended up being my cousin. So then we started hanging out a lot and we really clicked. I met the love of my life through him haha. He's my cousin and now best friend's best friend. And it turns out my SO's parents were good friends with my parents before we were born. Our dads were both in the same fire company together for many years

    I met my husband/best friend at the mall early 1979 we we're 16 at the time. He was with his friends that I knew, but didn't know of him. It was love at first sight for him, but not for me it took a few months. And how we have been married 30 years this month and have 2 grown sons a grandson and a daughter in-law. Life is awesome and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. May we have many many many more years together!!! Being married to your best friend/ husband is the greatest!!!!

    Here, on this site. Shes 12 hours away, and when I went to visit the 2nd time, I proposed and she said yes! She's moving up to Cincinnati with her two girls at the end of the month!

    So its about as close to love at first site as you can get I guess..I loved her before I even saw her!

    Oh my goodness! That's so incredible!!!! (: You met on MFP :D

    At a local dive bar. I I thought he was out of my league especially after he asked for my number and then didn't call for two weeks. I had forgotten about him by that point and didn't know who he was when he called. We talked for hours. We dated for five years and have been married for nine years this summer.
