    I met my man online Tagged : He is from Senegal and lives in Norway: We have been skyping for 4 years and he will be here in December: It has had it's ups and downs, but I am now ready to commit :)

    I tried other dating sites, met a few men, but was never interested enough to commit fully:

    I never thought I would fall in love again, but he stuck in there and worked on me lol

    I find sites like Tagged which are social sites better than dating sites: Or Meetme is another good one:

    Met my ex when I was a foster parent for a special needs child. He was the driver who picked her up to take her to her day-program. He told me years later that the moment he saw me he knew we'd be married at some point. Had two great kids and are still very friendly towards one another.

    Met my current SO on Facebook. He was a friend of my niece's and we chatted on her wall many times. He says he used to creep my profile pics and worry how he could contact me directly without seeming weird. :glasses: He got over his nervousness and on August 31 it will be three years together. He's my best friend and I totally adore the man. :love:

    Met my ex here on MFP, totally unexpected, pleasantly surprised, totally consumed, then it flamed out. Now we aren't even friends.

    I met mine via work we were both staying in the same hotel for work when a tornado touched down near the hotel and in several other neighborhoods nearby. We were part of the immediate response team and spent a week together for the response. Pretty random since I lived in Chicago and he lived in Austin,TX.

    Met my husband about 7 years ago on World of Warcraft. He was the cheeky, flirty main tank of my guild and I used to find him very annoying... :explode: :laugh:

    We met when we worked at Bob Evans when we were teenagers. I remember turning in my application and seeing him working. I thought to myself, "I'm gonna get me a piece of that." Lol! Little did I know that I was ogling my future spouse!

    I met mine online on plentyoffish.com

    I signed up and within a day was sick of the type of guys that were messaging me. I decided to take my fate into my own hands and started searching pof for guys near me. My now-bf was on the first page and he instantly appealed to me. He had a picture with his cat on his shoulder and it was adorable. I messaged him, he responded. After a few messages, we gave our facebook information and chatted on there for a few days before exchanging numbers. I deleted my pof.com account within a week of joining it and had only ever communicated with my now-bf on there.

    We've been together for 3 years and I am extremely thankful that I found him and reached out to him. He said he had seen my picture on there under "new users" but was scared to message me first.

    I worked at a retail store. He was the vending machine delivery man. My friend had seen him before and told me how "hot" he was. One day I was working the morning shift and saw him and it was an instant attraction on both of our parts. It's been 13 + yrs since that day......

    Online gaming.

    Two of my friends have gotten married after meeting their spouses via dating websites. I'm not sure I know many people any more who meet "the natural way" and get married any more. LOL.

    My husband and I have the best story - We met when he was inprocessing to the army installation where I am a nurse. He came through my line to get immunizations and then came back to get my phone number. Its been bliss ever since :)

    I personally put an ad in the classifieds in our local paper. He answered. That was over 16 years ago. ;)<3

    I saw the comment about meeting the "normal way anymore"...TRUE...But I met mine in person although he recognized me from online.

    I was following a local band on Myspace and didn't realize the page was not run by the band itself.

    A friend and I went to a show...and he came up and called us by name. At that time, I was nervous about online stalkers...LOL When I realized why he knew who I was, we started talking more and more online...till one night, I invited him out. We've been together since. 9 years...married for 2.

    In a bar. Haha.

    Went in to my friend's old local dive bar with her to scope out her ex-boyfriend and his new lady. She had always been trying to get me to come check out this favourite spot of hers. We walked in and I immediately locked eyes with someone at the other end of the room. I asked my friend "Who is THAT?" I mean, I still had my mittens and hat on! Right in the door. She replied "That's _______. Holy *kitten*! Why didn't I think of that, he's totally your type." After a drink and eye-flirting, my friend introduced us. He was shy but proudly showed me a picture of his then five year old daughter eating pigeon in an Asian restaurant, taken from earlier that evening (gross). And I fell....

    Getting married in Costa Rica on November 27th. Weeee!

    P.S. My girlfriend's ex wasn't in there that night, as it turned out.....but am I ever thankful we went in to be nosy!

    met my GF online a year ago. Couldn't tell what she looked like from her one pic so when we finally met in person I dismissed her and walked right by her accidentally because of how gorgeous she was. She always makes fun of me for it.

    Facebook, of all places. We had a mutual friend that we would both comment on her stuff. He friend requested me and after I checked with the friend to make sure he was cool, I accepted. I was in a committed relationship at the time, so nothing came of it. But after I became single, he was one of my only friends to not instantly hit me up. I appreciated his gentlemanly approach and actually made the first move. However, he lived out of state and traveled for work. We talked for months before he visited me in person. Three nights into his visit, he professed his love for me, moved to my small town and the rest is history.

    liquor store...I worked there and she was a customer. We gave each other the googly eyes for awhile and I finally asked her out while taking a case of beer out to her car.

    My older sister met her husband online. He has a younger brother that is my age and when they first started dating I decided that I wanted to go to a Slayer concert. My mom didn't want me going to the big city alone (I was like 17) so I asked his brother if he would go with me. He asked if he could fill a car with his friends because he knew lots of people that would want to go. My first boyfriend was one of those friends, but also a total douche bag. After three months of being with him I had become best friends with one of his friends and decided to break it off with him. About three months later I finally realized that I was madly in love with my best friend and he was with me as well. 12 years and 2 kids & a dog later, we're still together and have had countless crazy adventures. I totally credit Slayer for finding the love of my life :P
