in Chit-Chat
My boyfriend and I met over 2 1/2 years ago here. I thought his profile pic was interesting so I read his profile and we had a lot in common. I FR'd him and we clicked instantly. We've been together ever since. <3 Last August I moved myself and my two daughters from NS to ON to be with him. :) Thank you MFP for letting me meet the love of my life!

    I am bookmarking this, for when there's complaints; about this not being a dating website!

    Neither of us were on this site to find someone. We were both losing weight to better ourselves. We just happened upon each other by chance. I never thought I'd meet someone online and pursue a relationship!

    Some, I'm sure, are actually here to find someone, but I wouldn't call MFP a dating site.

    I understand, just like people don't go to the grocery store; with that intent either. So no I also wouldn't label MFP a dating website or a grocery store, a place to seek a date either but I definitely won't complain, about it happening. Most people (including those that complain) no doubt met most of their SO's, places that wasn't specifically designated as a place; to find someone to date!

    Congrats you two are super cute together. I honestly think meeting someone from there is great.

    I would love to meet a man who also had his own fitness journey and we can then do all these sickening cute couples workouts I see on YouTube all the time lol

    It makes a lot of sense to meet someone here if you think about it. Someone who understands the struggles, the highs and the lows. It's a commonality that many people don't have anymore. All of the people in my daily life could give a *kitten* less about fitness or nutrition. My MFP friends understand me and they also somehow share my twisted humor. It's a place for support and motivation, 2 very key things in a relationship. Congratulations to both of you!

    The happiest couples I know met while pursuing their passions. It adds an instant level of understanding and common ground. I know I'll meet someone eventually through fitness somehow. :smile:

    I'm sure there are lots of people out there that have met online. I'd just like to meet a few that have found someone on here unintentionally.
