We met in 6th grade. When I was 11 I told all my friends I was going to marry him. When he was 12 he told his parents the same (it took a year to him on board lol). We broke up when we were 17 and I quickly married my rebound...so dumb! 18 years later I had divorced Satan and I received an email from my now hubby. We had not been in touch but he tracked me down online to tell me he was done living without me. Weve been married 5 years next month and have 6 amazing kids between us; 5 boys and 1 girl. I cant imagine a more perfect for me husband.11

Over the phone back before the age of computers and chat ;p
We talked for three months before meeting in person when we realized that we had met once before in passing at a mutual friends Party!3 -
During the summer break before freshman year of high school my then best friend met a guy in a chat room. She dated him for awhile but never met him in person. I started dating him after they broke up and when I came back from vacation we went out to see Mr. Bean's Holiday and have been together ever since.

We met through an "alternative lifestyle" website. I took one of the moderators (a friend of mine) to the airport and my wife was there to get verified. We started chatting (offline) and the rest is history.2

We're going to officially meet in three months.
We first started talking via an app, I had recently broken up with an abusive boyfriend and just needed someone to vent to.
He was great support.
We didn't intend for our conversations to end up romantic, but it did.
He's coming to visit in three months, and I'm feeling more insecure than ever.
Weight loss has always been something I've struggled with, but now I can't get it out of my mind.
I don't need to reach my goal in three months, just want to at least make some progress.

Others in the friend zone have heard the legend of this man
**OFF TOPIC to a degree, but the term "friendzone" has always bothered me for the following reasons**
Because a girl (or guy) are not required to reciprocate ones feelings. "False promise" purports that someone is attempting to "fool you" into being their friend with a promise of something more being owed. However, nothing is owed to another person beside what that person desires to give.
I'm not keen on the term either, I was just quoting what was said before.
I was referring to girls/guys who are friends with someone and want more, the other person knows this and doesn't want more but continues to flirt with that friend (false promise) simply because they like the attention. I see this a lot, especially on here.
I gotcha.. wasn't trying to be jerky about it, if it came off that way. Just wanted to address it in my own way. :-)0 -

My brother and I started hosting dinner parties. We figured that at some point...we'd eventually meet women because they have to eat.9

i had just broken up with my boyfriend at the time and my friend mentioned that she had a guy "craig" in mind that she wanted to set me up with. so naturally, I went on to her facebook and looked up "craig" - not knowing his last name. there were like 5 different craigs but one of them had a profile pic of him playing hockey so in my mind i mentally decided that was the craig i was going to get set up with. turns out i "picked" the wrong craig - he was not the craig my friend wanted to set me up with - but I still thought the hockey player was cute so I messaged him and told him the funny story. he said, well i think we owe it to ourselves to grab a drink so I went out with him. we've been together ever since and are getting married next sepetember!9

I love reading all these stories!
I had been single for atleast 8 months. I was done with dating, perfectly content with being alone for the rest of my life. I basically had stopped going out, and only hung out with my tried and true friends. Wasn't interested in anything new boy wise, the last bf had done me very wrong, and I was over it all.
I recently had met a new girl on a hunting trip who had become a friend. We were just alike, so we became better friends over time. She called me one night telling me that her best guy friend was recently single, and "needed a good girl like me". LOL, no thanks. Not interested. However, I invited her to a hunting expo the following weekend. She seemed super excited and was like "well im going to bring him anyway and itll be a double date!" Yeah sure, whatever, i just wanted her to go to the expo with me.
Granted, i did facebook stalk him to see if he was anything special. He was intriguing, I will admit, but I was very happily single.
Later in the week she mentioned that this guy wanted to go ice skating. Im like..... no. Nope, not interested, I want to go to the hunting expo. Well, turns out her communication skills are either terrible, or she is pretty sly.
She has me convinced we are all going to the hunting expo. Day of, I ask for a time that she wanted to meet up to head 3 hours away to the expo. "6pm"..... What..... the expo is closed by then? "No silly, we are going ice skating, remember?!"
Okay so now I have no one available to make the 3 hr drive with me and am bummed. I felt tricked.
I spent most my day planning on ditching these ice skating match making plans. Wasnt interested.
20mins before 6, I randomly get dressed and head her way. No idea what prompted me to do that. She told me to meet her and all their friends at the bar. I felt way more comfortable knowing there was atleast 10+ people going on this ice skating adventure instead of it being an awkward date.
So i get to the bar we are all meeting at, and run STRAIGHT into the guy she is trying to hook me up with, and since I am socially awkward and nervous, I try to make a joke. Instead it comes out a total insult and he walks away.. Okay whatever whoops. Turns out all the friends knew this was a night met to hook me up with this guy. I am a little weirded out by that, and just get in a "whatever" mood.
Later that night, I just cant help but be drawn to this guy. We ice skated, we laughed, and by the end of the night we kissed.
A year and a few months later? We still havent spent more than 3 days apart from each other, and are now living together very happily.
Funny how things work out6 -
These stories are so beautiful ❤1

College. Met her in a Bio class and didn't really hit it off well, and I kinda said something not nice to her. She plopped right down next to me and said, "Whatever. I'm going to be your lab partner." and as she laughed and was getting up to move the instructor said everyone freeze and where you are sitting is your seat assignment for the semester. I was plenty PISSED. She ended up being cool enough. Not sure if it was love over the dissected frog, fetus pig, or cat, but somewhere among the juice inner parts something sparked. And not just a Bunson burner for caloric burn tests.10

We met at a party that I was NOT supposed to be at. My girlfriend's parents were going out of town for the weekend and they could not trust their daughter to leave her home alone so they called my folks to see if "wonderful responsible Carmen" would spend the weekend to keep Jan in check. Well, Jan talked Carmen into just going to the party for a little bit. We drove across town, to the absolutely scariest part of town, to this house party that was akin to an Animal House party......then she left with some dude. Here I am with no car, no idea really where I was or what the hell I was going to do. I was 17. So I sat and was crying. The boy I married eventually came up and asked me what was wrong. I explained the whole thing to him. He could have been a damn murderer for all I knew but it did not matter, he offered to drive me home. I went. He asked for my number when he walked me up to the door. I was 17 he was 19. We were engaged to be married about 7 months later and married 3 years after that night. We are still married....I am 52 now.8
