Where did you meet...?

Met at our son's 4th grade school VIP Day. I went with my Mom, he was there alone. We all played Life together. Definitely attraction at first sight! I asked my son if DH was single and he said no, so put him out of my mind.

Several weeks later I was on a date at a local bar and saw him out with friends. Did more research and found that he was divorced. I didn't think he would ask me out because he saw me out (with a guy he knew - a jerk), so I found his phone number and called and asked him out! :blushing: He said yes, later he told me he did the happy dance around his apartment :happy:

Married for twenty years now and still in love

I met my husband at a Sci-Fi Convention in 1988 or '89 (this one was Dr. Who & Blakes 7 themed). We had a mutual friend who introduced us, and we all kind of hung out together with a bunch of other friends. There was no romantic interest at first (I was 34, he was 23, too young for me, so I thought) so we became good friends first. It wasn't until August '89 that we realized something more had developed and had our first real date. He proposed in August 1990, and we were married in February 1991 and have been happily married now for 21 years!

I was the first person to reply to the first thread he posted on here. :laugh:

I guess I would like to add the addundum of How old were you when you met. Everyone seems to be finding love so young it is a little discouraging at times.

Never give up hope, if it's meant to happen, it will! I didn't find my "true love" until I stopped looking! As I said in my earlier post, I didn't meet my husband until I was around 33 or 34, didn't get married until I was 35. For many years I had tried computer dating, taking night school classes that were supposedly of interest to guys, blind dates, etc., and it was all such a waste of time. It wasn't until I stopped actively looking and just started attending activities with friends for the pure enjoyment of seeing and doing things that I liked that I actually was able to form a deep friendship there that turned into true love.

I was 15, and my fiance was 18. When we get married he'll be 25, and I'll be 22. Don't worry, it will happen. Sometimes it just takes longer, don't be discouraged.

habbo hotel

lol.

no shame.

we talked for about four years then he flew over to meet me (he's from london, i was living in oklahoma). he then came over another time then we spent the following summer together in taiwan and now i live with him in the UK !

okcupid. I was infatuated with him from the beginning which I can't say about anyone else I've dated. Been together 7 months now and just started living together.

Library. Nearly LAFS, but now soundly love

Met online actually. And I blew him off a couple times before we actually went out - but he was persistent - and we've been together ever since. I don't believe in love at first sight, but I did know there was something special about him from the beginning! First date Labor Day 2011, started living together Nov 2011.

I met my husband/best friend at the mall early 1979 we we're 16 at the time. He was with his friends that I knew, but didn't know of him. It was love at first sight for him, but not for me it took a few months. And how we have been married 30 years this month and have 2 grown sons a grandson and a daughter in-law. Life is awesome and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. May we have many many many more years together!!! Being married to your best friend/ husband is the greatest!!!!

Here, on this site. Shes 12 hours away, and when I went to visit the 2nd time, I proposed and she said yes! She's moving up to Cincinnati with her two girls at the end of the month!

So its about as close to love at first site as you can get I guess..I loved her before I even saw her!

Oh my goodness! That's so incredible!!!! (: You met on MFP

I'm surprised that there are not that many people on here that "met at a bar".

I met my wife at a bar on a night that I hadn't even planned to go out. What's ironic is that I might not have ever talked to her if her friend she was with wasn't getting hit on by some skeezy guy claiming to be a private investigator. She was standing by herself so I went and talked to her. The friend comes over shortly after that and says, "We need to get out of here, this PI guy is freaking me out!". I must have seemed pretty normal in comparison.

What's even funnier is that my wife is a "good girl" who doesn't actually drink alcohol, so she made up a story for her mom that some friends set us up on a date because her mom would have freaked out if she knew we met in a bar. I was 24 and she was 22 when we met. Dated for a few years and have been married for 15 years now.

We met at a party at a club (so, a bar) in the city I was living in. He lived 130 KM away but came out to the party anyway (it's music specific and these fans are known to be a bit nuts and travel much further for a gig or a party).

It was probably the worst time in both of our lives. He and his now ex had just made the decision to split, me and my now ex were not there yet but heading towards disaster.

So, no, not love at first site, but instant friends that supported each other through some pretty bad stuff (mine not only included a break up but also losing my job and almost having to claim bankruptcy) but I can tell you there was always "something" there.

We met in July 2003, started our relationship in November 2004 and got married in March 2009. I now live 130KM away from where we met ;-)

I met my husband when I was 22, he was 23 playing summer softball with my cousin. My cousin had supposedly tried to hook us up, but I wouldn't let her. A guy on our team was asking me who all was together (it was almost a couples team, w/just a few of us singles), and he matched me and my husband up. I said, "No way!" But thought it was kinda hilarious. Became friends w/his sister who was also on our team, and she invited me to go w/them bowling, invited his sisters and him over for a fish fry, went to his house for a movie, went back to his house for his bday and he asked me out! Started dating the day after Thanksgiving, got engaged and married w/in 5 mos! We've been together 8yrs and just had our 4th child.

We met at a bar, he was a friend of a friend and I was (unhappily) married. We were in a group of friends and just buddies. I realized that my 1st marriage was not worth 'fixing' and asked my husband for a divorce about the same time I realized that I had fallen in love with my friend. We have been together for almost 9 years and happily married for almost 7 years.
