    In a bar! He sat down next to me and introduced himself. We danced until his friends left, then texted for the rest of the night.

    I'm 22 and met my significant other via online dating. Talked for around a month before meeting so we knew each other better.

    Been together almost three years now and have our first house :)

    Internet dating isnt for everyone, you have to weed out a lot of the "players" or "weird ones" first. I sometimes use to get very strange requests and messages.

    If your painfully shy and a introvert like me and my partner are then online dating is a good way to get to know someone.

    On our first "date" we played pool and I hit the ball so hard it flew off the table and almost injured someone...twice XD

    At a tattoo shop..I'm serious. I was 16 and went in with friends ( of coarse we all said that we where 18) anyway, I would sneak out of my window at night to go visit him. my parents where not happy about this and tried to stop it. After a while they realized that they couldn't stop me so let me get married. I'm 34 now and still happily married to him :-)

    me too, well apart from the tattoo place, I was 3 months from my 16 and i went to a club with my friend, (we looked 18). and met him there.
    and that was 24 years ago. and two kids.

    Yes :-) we looked 18 also, so never got asked to show id. I look back and laugh! My parents would tell me that it wouldn't last and I'd be divorced in a week! Lol. Well now they see it differently. Lol

    When we were 16. We had crushes on each other but neither one of us knew about each others crush. We both ended up marrying our high school sweethearts. He divorced 7 or 8 years later, and I divorced 20 years later (yes 20 year marraige). We started talking on FB and decided to meet up for lunch. That was a year and a half ago. We now live together and are super happy. I don't regret my marraige because it brought me a daughter, but I really wish I would have hooked up with my SO alot sooner than I did. He's wonderful!

    At a rugby party after a match. I think she thought I might make an interesting sociology study after all the drunken debauchery that was going on. She's probably still trying to figure me out after 14 years.

    I wouldn't get too worked up over dating. My sister in law just recently got divorced after 16 years of marriage. It was hard on her during their separation and she had to move in with us for a while. It took some time to really move on, but she realized how much stuff she could do that she enjoyed that her ex had never been willing to do. She made some new friends and is having a great time being single.

    My hubby and I met on Match.com. Neither of us was serious when we made our profiles, he did it as a joke with his friends, I did it because I was mad that my roommate was dating my ex. He winked at me, we talked online and texted for about a month before we met in person. Been together 6 years now, married for 3.

    My husband and I met in a chat room over 11 years. The night we met, his grandpa had a heart attack. He was at my end of town, so he popped over & we hit it off. He always tells me, "I liked you from the get go. You were shy and hiding behind your hair. It was cute."

    I met my "friend" at a pool party when I was pregnant with my twins...LOL. I was with my now ex-husband at the time. We reconnected again a couple years ago via Facebook. We had always been attracted to each other (even when I was pregnant...lol), but we were finally single at the same time.

    Doesn't help answer your question, but hubby and I met in High School. :tongue:

    One of my girlfriends is on plentyoffish.com and just yesterday told me she met a really great guy (of course there were some duds at first).

    I was a Massage Therapist. My wife was referred to me for a Back Injury about 25 years ago.

    Used to come twice a week for treatment.

    I fixed her back and she fixed my life.

    Plenty of fish, just over 2 years ago, we went for dinner at a pub a few months after we started talking. I only really went because I wanted to watch the football game that the pub was showing!
