How'd you meet your significant other?

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......

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 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!

At a bar.

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.

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

At work...now been together for 2 years
