Where did you meet...?

We met in 3rd grade...were in the same class! BUT we became close friends in 8th grade, started dating our senior year in high school, and May 28th will be seven years married

I met my husband in school. He was in 1st grade, I was in Kindergarten. We started dating in high school. I was 16, he was 17.. We've been together a little over 12yrs now (married almost 5yrs). He's the father of my two kids (7yrs & 3yrs).. I love him more & more every day. I guess you could say we're childhood/high school sweethearts :smooched:

These stories are inspiring. I am honestly kind of nervous about online dating.... but I want to be proactive about it.

I have a friend who met his wife through online dating. Now it didn't happen overnight. He did have some "real winners" in there, but in the end he met his wife. They have been married now for about 14 years. So it is possible to omeet someone via online dating.

Online through Yahoo Messenger.
There's more to the story though, she was a friend of a friend who was at my house chatting one night. I took over the keyboard when my friend left, and we proceeded to chat tons and tons until we decided to call and talk on the phone. Almost 40 hours of phone conversations we met, and now almost 15 years later we've been happily married for almost 8 and have a great kid

Met my husband on Myspace , wasn't going to talk to him . I just liked adding random people , I was 16 and he was 17 . He started messaging me , and that's when I knew I liked him . So I took a risk by asking him to come over the next day , and ever since then . We went out every week for the past two years , and finally got married this past April 3rd . It was def. love for me he has the same personality and aspects in life that I do . We share the same goals , and have the same hobbies . Yet we are total opposites that are attracted to each other . Today makes 1 month we 've been married . We are never really apart , except that half our relationship he has been gone for basic and AIT . Now he is on deployment over seas , he's been gone since June 2010 . But we Skype right when he gets off work every day until he leaves to work the next day . So my hours on Skype are 10am-11pm . It's hard to go without being on cam with him , it helps a little with him not being here . But I couldn't ask for anything more . :flowerforyou:

We met at work. He was an electrical engineer (who just came off a year of field service work) and I was a technical writer. We were put together to work on a manual for a new machine our company was building.

Not sure if it was love at first sight but definately lust! He says he knew right away we were going to get married, which is why it took us 8 months to start dating after we first met. He wasn't ready to give up his bachelorhood!

Preschool. He started "courting" me through 10th grade (I was clueless about it...at one point I even thought he was gay) and finally started dating in 11th grade. Been together now for 20 years, married for 13, 4 kids. Love him more everyday.

These stories are inspiring. I am honestly kind of nervous about online dating.... but I want to be proactive about it.

May I ask why your nervous?

We met at the Galley (Chow Hall) eating establishment, but i don't remember that one i remember meeting him at Medical i was a fresh from boot camp Sailor and he had 5 years in. That was Eighteen years ago and we have been together ever since along with the Navy and three kids!

I didn't know it, but this is just what I needed to read today, thanks everyone!

Met my hubby at Wal-Mart. I was working there 3rd shift stocking shelves, and he came on 3rd for maintenance. Casual little bumping into each other over time, and then one day he was cleaning the break room and there was another guy in there. They were talking about warm weather and the beach. That other guy left and I decided to open my mouth and start talking to him about it. On my way out of the lunch room after my break, he asked about having lunch together some day. I said ok. A few days later on my day off, my best friend (who also worked there 3rd shift) had a chat with him (to make sure his intentions were sincere, she always did look out for me in that way), and she called me all excited after their shift to tell me he was interested in a relationship with me. That was in 2005. This year we will celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. And we finally made it to the beach together last year. (neither of us had ever been). Found out later in our relationship how connected we really were and never knew it. His dad came into Tractor Supply all the time when I worked there (and he came along), a girl I was friends with in high school knew his family, particularly his aunt (whom I have adopted as my mother-in-law since we kicked the monster-in-law out of our life) and his aunt was really close friends with the lady who I took horse back riding lessons from. We believe we met at some point during my months of lessons as she would come and help her on the farm.

What is really funny, is when I was little, the movie practical magic came out, and the part where Sandra Bullock's younger self was going around collecting flower petals to cast her "perfect man" spell inspired me, and I made my own wish, describing what I wanted in a guy when I grew up. My husband fits it to a T! I said I wanted a guy with dark hair, no chest hair (or back hair for that matter), loves cats as much as I do, loves me like crazy, has a great sense of humor, etc. don't remember it all. He literally is right from my innocent little wish years ago. It's funny and amazing. Sometimes I wish I had specified "taller than me" though. LOL! But it's fine. He even knew of my favorite band, and liked them a lot too, and not many people have heard of them. We were meant to be.

I have been with my husband nearly 10 years (dating for 5, married for 5). Ours is kind of like one of those When Harry Met Sally Situations:

1. We didn't realize it until years later, but we first met in a Political Science class in undergrad. We spent the entire semester debating each other. One night we were talking about our classes and he would talk about this girl that always had to prove she was right and I would talk about the guy who wouldn't realize I was right and shut up.

2. My graduation night, some of my friends were having a party. He was in town visiting, or staying a while. We ending up talking and kissing, to the disdain of the girl that thought they were dating.

3. My Christmas break during law school: I was bored and wanted to go to a comedy show with his massage therapist, personal trainer roommate (need I say more?). Unfortunately/Fortunately, the roommate wasn't home and he answered the phone. Since I was bored, I said "Well, I guess you can come instead". We went to the show together and spent the whole night talking. He asked me out and we have been together ever since (I immediately dumped the other 2 guys I was dating...I was in law school, not a convent)

scw110489 Haha that's awesome!!

JcPenney and we will be going on 7 years this August

In Greek class, first day of university classes. I was barely on time for class and there was only a few spots left. I wouldn't say it was love at first sight but something about him drew me to the spot next to him. I sat down, we were awkward, attempted to make conversation (my greatest line being "do you have the textbook yet?") and day after day we started sitting together, becoming friends.

We were friends first before anything else and other than being awkward, we shared a lot of nerdy interests. When I discovered he had a girlfriend I was a disappointed but decided I would finally get myself a guy best friend lol. A few months passed, he and his girlfriend broke up at some point, over Christmas holidays we didn't talk at all, and then when we got back to school we finally got together... Slowly XD I had a few drinks before I started texting him that night - barely buzzed - and we were talking about the Beeb's Sherlock. We started quoting it, I misquoted Molly when she asked Sherlock if he wanted to go for coffee and his reply, he took it as me asking him to coffee and we ended up doing that the next night. We were awkward at first. But now, he's the person I'm most comfortable with and there is no awkwardness at all. I really do love him.
