    I met my boyfriend of almost two years on a video game actually :)! Found out he lived in Northern California, so he drove 8 hours south to come visit me and we met up in Hunnington (sp?) and ever since then we've been seeing each other as much as possible through the long distance barrier.

    This March we're moving in together!

    I met my wife in high-school.....we were friends back then......she helped me with girlfriend problems, I helped her with boyfriend problems.....we were very good friends.

    When we started at university 4 years later we rented a flat together and shared it as roommates.......at some point we became attracted to each other and the rest is history. We have now known each other for 21 years - been living together for 17 years - been a couple for 16 years and been married for 10 years.

    Doing online research for a mutual friend, one night, the friend asked me to help another friend find some information. I was actually pretty snarky about it ("What am I, your personal reference librarian?"), but answered the guy's message and found what he was looking for (which turned out to be a topic that interests me, too). Three years later, I was cleaning out my messenger list, messaged him to let me know if he wanted to remain on my list, and we started talking. Yesterday, we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary, and we have a beautiful son together. :)

    Online, really. I was going on a summer school at the university I was due to start at. He was a mentor there, and I was a very shy person so I contacted all the mentors beforehand so I wouldn't be as scared when I got there. We got chatting, and when I turned up on the day he was the first person I properly met.

  • I meet my partner at the gym.
    I was working on the gym floor and my job was to talk to people and check they are ok. So i decided to go up and talk these 2 men because I thought one of them was cute. So after 10mins I found out that the cute ones friend was the one I wanted to talk to.
    I then spend 6 weeks flurting with him before he asked me out. We have been together for 12 years and looking to start a family.
    Couldn't be happier

    I met my husband while serving a mission in Ontario, Canada for the church I attend. We were both going home the same day. He was going home to Alberta, Canada and I was going home to Arizona. A month later(April) I found out that he was going to be in Utah the same time I was so we spent and few days together and then I took him to Arizona for a week. Then he went back to Alberta, Canada and then in June I went up to visit him for two weeks and he proposed to me the day before I went home. We were married in October, so here we are almost 20 years later with 5 children, a dog, 2 cats and a snake. **A note I must add is when I left Ontario I said, "I will never live in Canada again" - never say never!
  • I met my BF six years ago while I was working in the emergency room...I took care of him because he looked pretty intimidating and no one really wanted to start his IV. I saw him there over the next month (he has a genentic kidney disorder) and one day he slipped me a note asking to get to know me. Six years later and he still makes me smile with his silly notes.

    Ooh I like reading all this!
    My boyfriend and I get asked this a lot.. since I am Dutch and he is Australian. We met in Sweden when we both studied there on exchange. Was the best time of my life. After a couple of months of being crazy in love I had to finish my uni back in Holland and he had to start working in Australia.. we spent a year apart (saw each other 1 month) and now I live in Australia and have applied for permanent residency :)

    Plenty of Fish. I had joined it while on a "break" with my crazy ex a year ago, but ended up back with him for a few months. I went to the site and tried to delete my profile, and thought I had but I would still get emails from them saying someone wants to meet you, or has emailed you or whatever. I ignored them. Well, about a month after I knew I was DONE, DONE with ex bf I got the email from pof and decided to open it. I saw his super cute smile and liked his profile so I emailed him and actually met him that night for coffee. We have been together since and it's been great :)

    Thats my little love story :-) xx

    I was the mother who freaked and blubbered LOL

    I met my hubby after my first marriage ended when my ex decided my friend was a better prospect. Being left with 3 young children I didn't have much of a social life so ended up most evenings on CB radio (the 'in' thing in the 80s and how my ex-husband started his affair)

    One day I heard this lovely deep voice chatting to a friend, so decided to join the conversation - found out he was newly single and we got chatting. There was a Country & Western evening the following Saturday that we were both going to so decided to say hello to each other then. Your typical blind date!

    Well, we met, we clicked, we dated for a couple of months and then he moved in - the kids loved him, and were soon joined by a baby sister, now known as AVG1986 LOL. We have our silver wedding coming up on April 4th.

    On the internet way before internet dating took off, LOL! We met in a chat room on AOL back in May 1996. We were just friends online, he lived in WA and I lived in MD. Way to far away to actually consider meeting. But after 7 months of chatting online and on the phone we decided to meet in person. I went to WA for Christmas that year to meet him and never left! We got married Sept 1997 and have been married for 14 awesome years.

    Dungeons and Dragons 2nd ed. He was the DM. I was invited to join the group by a mutual friend's girlfriend. (for non-geeks: a boardgame you play, with the DM as sort of a referee).

    A couple of weeks later his dad was asking who I was and our friends were waiting for "something" to happen, but the two of us were completely clueless :P But soon (about a month after we first met) we decided to meet up alone and "see what happens".

    12 years later now. We have both grown together, but still enjoy playing D&D (he's a mean DM! <3)

    He was the head editor at the studio I worked at. I was a new animator and he already had a few years on me. He was witty, soft spoken and everyone loved him!! At first I had a silly (not TOO serious) thought that he was racist because he barely talked to me and his BFF's there were two hot blond girls (he's blond haired blue eyed also). Of course, I found out later it was because it usually takes awhile for him to start talking to anyone.

    Anyway, as we worked together we got to know each other and I pretty much stalked him because I really, really liked him. One night I invited myself over his house and kissed him! Turns out he had feelings for me and 4 years later we are still together and our feelings have increased!
