How'd you meet your significant other?

I met my fiance in college. My dad was part of this org in college, and to carry on the legacy, I decided to join it too. Well, the second real day of school, I was told "just wait until you meet him." Well, the first thing I say to him is, "So you the infamous Beard." He just kind of looks at me and replies, "Not sure how to take the infamous part, but yea, I'm Beard."
The next week, I ask to borrow his laptop to check where the heck my next class is and see that his name is "Nathan" on his laptop screen. I ask him about it, which he curtly (and sorta harshly) says, "Don't call me that."
The week continues and we banter and hello/goodbye hugs get a bit warmer... and well...
On Monday, I'm panicking because I really have a thing for this guy and his overly sassy attitude. I'm telling my friends this and the typical high school question comes up, "Want me to talk to him for you?"
I'm thinking, sure why not. I'm currently dating a really prick, so let's change it up for someone who has witty banter and makes me laugh instead of cry. As soon as I come back from class, no one had spoken to him yet about him and I possibly dating. He was playing a game called Magic and just getting royal screwed on cards. Well, I asked if he wanted a hug for good luck. He kissed me instead! So, being fresh out of high school and still fairly immature, I freaked out and got all excited. The rest is history. We are getting married this winter.

I'll give the condensed version

We met in 8th Grade Gym Class, so we were roughly 13-years old at the time - we were friends up through Sophomore year in HS (so 15) when we "went out" for a Month post Homecoming, he told me one day "It's over" and I literally didn't see him again for 6+ years!

Though he said he always knew where I was and what I was doing, I was clueless to his activity/whereabouts

Then after a long relationship in college I signed up for AOL Love and he found my profile - sent me an email signed "Talk to You Later Angel" and I thought it was rather brass and deleted it.

About a week later I was online looking for work (this was right after graduation) and he found me online and sent me an IM, after some back & forth we figured out who each other was, made plans to meet up that night @ a local Pool Hall and as they say the rest is history

6 Weeks Later we moved in Together
4 Months After That we Got Engaged
8 Months Later We Got Married
And here we are Still Happily Married after 13-Years, Two Kids, 5 Moves, More Animals than I can Count and Loving Life Together!

Match.com

I wasn't "looking" for a husband, I just signed up with a friend as Match was running a New Year's free week trial. I knew I would marry him on our third date and only after knowing him about 2 weeks.

It can and does happen :-)
6 year anniversary coming up!

We met when I was in prison. He was my Corrections Officer. It was love at first delousing.

Been with my fiancé for 5 and a half years, we met online over a shared love of art and photography. We were just friends for about a year, but he was in a miserable marriage and left her when he knew he had fallen for me. I felt the same as he did obviously, much to his joy, I'd had feelings for him for a while as we had loads in common and he really made me laugh (my weakness) and so we started seeing each other. It was great and we moved in together soon after; his divorce was a slow waiting game of paperwork but it came through and we got engaged soon after. We both feel loved and appreciated in ways that neither of us had before; it's amazing that of all the places in the world he could've been, he lived less than 3 hours away! :-)

the summer before high school started... we met before football practice outside the field. We were inseparable in high school but we didn't start officially dating until 5 years ago.... just had our 5 year anniversary yesterday.

I met my husband in college. So, I am thinking in places and activities of shared interest. I'm a dancer, so for me that would be going to see performances, dance classes and rehearsal practice, going swing or salsa dancing. That doesn't mean i would only meet dancers. There are also people that do tech, sound design, photography, multi-media, etc. You could also go online to find events that may be suitable. There is meet-up. You can join outdoor activity groups. Or socialization discussion groups.

I met my wife at church when we in our teens.
