How did you meet baby's daddy?

carleym93

Alright ladies, here is the thing. I love stories. You've all probably noticed this. My favorite types of stories usually involve significant others. I apologize in advance for
posting so much today. But its Friday and DH is out so I'm just letting my mind wander. So I'm asking: How did you meet your baby's father? What's your love story like?

DH and I met when we were both working for the same church. I would have NEVER guessed we'd end up together (at the time, we were both seeing other people). We were friends for a while and then once those relationships were over, it turned into something more. Having such a close friendship before our relationship started was really helpful to us. Sometimes I still can't believe it. If you had told me 3 years ago that I'd end up with that children's pastor from work, I would have told you to put down the sauce. Seriously. But two years later, here we are. Happy as can be and expecting a little girl! Crazy how life works, isn't it?

I met my DH at a bar. I was super sick with a bad cold but my cousin kept insisting I come out with her, only for a little bit. So we went to a favorite bar of ours, we were ordering drinks and she spotted a guy across the bar with his friend and she said oh he is sooo cute I want to go over and talk to him! As we were walking over there she spotted another guy that she thought was cute and ran off to go talk to him (she had quite a few at this point! haha) she left me standing alone and over walks the original "cute guy" we started laughing at the fact that she just ran off without me... 8 years later that cute guy is now my husband

We met back when we were 17. We worked at the same grocery store. We were both seeing other people at the time but we would flirt all the time! His other relationship ended first and as soon as he found out my high school boyfriend and I broke up he got my number out of the employee book at work. He called me, showed up where I was that night (creep! lol) and we hung out for hours. We really both were just using it as a rebound, but here we are over 10 years later, married with 2 kids expecting our 3rd! It's crazy how it all happened.

I met my DH when I got transfered to a store across town. He would come in everyday three or four times during my shift and he would always flirt and talk to me. For six months he kept asking for my number but I wouldn't give it to him. Turns out we had some mutual friends and we ran into each other at a BBQ one weekend and he kinda swept me off my feet! I never thought someone could make me so happy

DH and I met online through match.com about two years ago. After a week of emailing back and forth, we met up over pizza with ranch sauce. I really wasn't sure about him, but 2 weeks in he knew I was the one. We bonded over board games, hiking trails, baking, and getting to know each other through church. He wrote a letter dated 2 weeks after we met each other, and gave it to me on our engagement day. In the letter, he thanked me for saying YES! We have been married for almost one year, and are still over the moon.

Aw I love love stories lol we met when we both worked at the same restaurant. I had a crush on him since day 1(and apparently he did too) but we didn't really talk for like a year because he had a girlfriend. But everyone always said we'd be perfect together and I denied it but secretly thought so too. Well him and his girlfriend broke up then like a month later we were together and have been since!

KristinaD217

So dh and I met in high school, freshman year he had a MASSIVE crush on my best friend. She didn't like him though. He thought I was some druggie and I thought he was annoying. Summer vacation came and we wound up being at the same camp. I was dating his ex girlfriend and he was dating a psycho. We became friends and started talking. Not long after that we were both single and started dating one another.
Nine months later he moved to Colorado. We kept dating for two years while in diffrent states. After we graduated I moved to Colorado. He joined the military and now, almost six years later here we are! Married with a baby one the way!

mrswiebe09

We met online! Started chatting the end of Aug/beg of Sept '08, met in person in Dec. Then my grandma died just after he left, right before Christmas. He was going to come for the memorial service in Jan but got turned around at the border. (He's from Canada, I'm from MI). So fortunately he was able to come for my day/Valentines day the next month. He proposed and I said yes! I called an immigration lawyer andshe said get married asap because if he went home and tried to come back and got denied a second time it would be an automatic 5 years before he could try again. We weren't too keen on that chance so we got married two weeks later! Now been six years and baby #2 on the way :-)

I met my DH working for a company doing grounds keeping.  My dad was the supervisor and I had worked with him several years in a row (summer job).  One summer my dad hired this kinda nerdy red haired guy.  Thankfully first impressions didn't scare him away because doing grounds keeping I didn't care what I looked like since its impossible to stay clean.  After a quick introduction, I handed him a pale to pick up trash around the grounds.  As we worked together, I had found myself telling him things that I would only tell my closest girlfriend.  After only a month of working together he asked if I wanted to see a movie after a long hard day of work.  I was so tired from work that I thought he was talking about just going out as friends.  After a few minutes of thinking about how tired I was and if I really wanted to go out that night, I finally said yes.  As soon as I said yes he suggested going out for dinner and maybe drinks right after.  At that point I realized he was talking about a date.  I didn't want to back out at that point so I went out with him.  I think I fell in love with him on that first date and I have never looked back after 9 years together and 6 years of marriage, we finally had our first child who is now 17 months and we are now expecting our second.

I'm seriously loving ALL of these stories, but I wanted to say to @KristinaD217, a big thank you to your hubby for his service!

Much like op, we were working together and I was involved in another relationship. I had a secret crush for the longest time but of course never acted on it. Two years later, after my previous relationship had dissolved, I finally approached him to hang out... Neither one of us were expecting a serious relationship. But we have basically been head over heels for the last two years together. Never thought we would be here, having a baby boy and planning a wedding! But then again, it's always been an adventure!

I had gone through a bad divorce in November 2009 and a breakup in August 2011. I was in another state and was desperately trying to get a teaching job in my home state. I was pretty discourage and depressed. Then my grandmother, who helped raise me died in October 2011. My mom suggested I get on some dating sites. I tried plentyoffish.com. I met two guys. One from my home state and one from the state I was living in. The guy from my home state bailed so I decided to talk to guy from current state. We found out we have several mutual friends. I wasn't so sure about him but he grew on me. Ha! The rest is history.
We married in October 2013, for pregnant on our honeymoon, but unfortunately miscarried. Got pregnant again one year later. And here we are waiting on our love!
Love him!

I met my husband when I was a freshman in high school. We never had any attraction to one another whatsoever but had so much fun hanging out, ordering pizza and watching movies. I even hooked him up with my friends lol.. then I had to move and came back 3 years later and was sitting with a friend while he was checking his MySpace when that was so cool ha. And I saw my now husband on his friends list and was like whoaa he got super hot! I messaged him right away and he felt the exact same way about me. We met up that same night and got married 4 months later! We now have 3 beautiful children with another on the way and have been married 7 years

My husband and I met after Highschool, he went to Law School with one of my guy friends and started showing up to Volleyball and other social events. At the time my family was heavily involved in Civil War era reenactments/balls. So, on my moms birthday, Dec. 14th there was a ball. I was decked out, hoop skirt, yards of taffeta and high hair. We danced once that night as I wasn't even very aware of his existance, but after the dance he didn't let go of my arm, instead he guided me to the water table, got me some water and then escorted me to my chair. He was just being gentlemanly (at the time apparently he was interested in my BF). 

On the drive home I told my brother I think I was crushing a little bit. One week later he came to our pickup Ultimate Frisbee game and ignored me the whole time. One week later he asked to meet me briefly before I left to Guatemala for 3 weeks. He gave me a Snickers bar and asked for my email. (Weirdo)

During the next three weeks we skyped and emailed pretty non stop while I was in Guatemala. I came back feeling like we where best friends and new everything about eachother. He asked my dad to date me a month later and 6 years later we are expecting number 2!

(Man, I sound like I was super cool back then but that is not how I felt at the time lol)

I love stories like this!
Okay me and hubby met through our best friends, who at the time were also dating. Although when I met him I was with someone else. And every weekend my best friend would come get me and we would meet them at this hotel in town and at first I was so mean to him! But every day he would text me and ask me out to lunch or dinner no matter how many times I told him no he never stopped, and one day I decided he was better for me than the guy I was with. I knew weeks in that he was the one I would marry. Now almost 3 yrs later we just keep getting stronger!

My husband and I met for the first time when I almost kicked him in the head at work. I was jumping off a lift and just about clocked him when he came wandering by. We worked different shifts and didn't really get to know each other until a couple years later when we were both on the same crew. We were both single and started hanging out and before long I had moved in to his place. He surprised me with a proposal a year and a half later!

I went through a terrible abusive relationship with my sons father, and it took me a year to leave him, in the spring of 2008, I saw this handsome guy on the sandbar while visiting my sister, and Said if I ever leave Paul I will marry that guy.

Well in 2009 I moved to florida and was broken, and started going back to church, women's bible studies and so on. On at pattys day my friend just broke up with her now husbad and was hanging out with several new prospects. Well one of her prospects was that guy from the sandbar. I at first just became friends with him, and she said she didn't like him and was going back to her ex/now husband. So we started dating in July 2010 and have been together since. We found out we grew up 5mjnutes away from eachother and the county road split us into two different schools our whole life. He is amazing. He is about to adopt my son and we are expecting our first. I never could have imagined meeting someone so amazing. He melts my heart.
We love being a great team. He Has been my rock, God really blessed me, when he lead my husband to me. We just are about to start a ministry to help women and young women get out of bad relationships before it's too late.
My husband made me realize I'm "gods daughter", and I am worth more then I thought. Life is full of happiness, sometimes you have to go through the trenches to get to the gold!

Happy and so blessed!

DH and I met through mutal friends in May and then spent a crazy summer all hanging out and partying our faces off.....just as friends. We called ourselves the Train Wreck, lol. Meanwhile, I had formed a relationship with a guy I had met a few months back in March on a girls trip to Vegas. We were doing the long distance thing, texting and talking every day and kept making plans to meet up back in Vegas (he lived in Utah), however the plans always seemed to "fall through." (Should have been my first red flag, but I was in lust hee hee). Well, fast forward to the end of August when Vegas guy's GIRLFRIEND in Detroit friends me on Facebook saying "we need to talk...I'm his girlfriend....oh and p.s. you should know he also has A WIFE in Utah." She called me, we chatted, (turns out they had been to Vegas TWICE that summer and he had been to see her in Detroit as well - 5 hrs drive from where I was the whole time). So we both came up with a plan to catch the Vegas douchebag in his lies, and his worlds all collided that night. Oh, and then the girlfriend called the wife to fill her in. She hung up on her telling her to never call there again. Needless to say, I was an absolute mess, about to go back to work after nine weeks off (I'm a teacher) and feeling like an absolute idiot for believing things were ever going to work out with this douchebag. My DH was texting with me that weekend, and I filled him in on the soap opera my life had become. He texted me saying he would be in a ball tournament in a town not far from where I live and if I felt like I needed to get out, and get my mind off things, I should come and hang out with him, the ball team and their wives. So I did. We had a blast that weekend. He went back to our hometown, I went home to where I live and we kept texting, more and more, until he eventually came to visit one weekend a few weeks later. We've been together ever since and I'm so glad we were such good friend first. I feel like we had such a solid foundation upon which to build our relationship and now our marriage. We laugh so much and have so much fun together....we like to think the universe was pushing us together the whole time...a broken road that led us straight to each other  :x

Love all of these sweet stories! ...Aaaaaand now I'm gonna ruin it , haha.

Seven years ago I had a friend ask me to go to her boyfriends' birthday party while she was OOT because he was sketchy and she didn't trust him (which in the end made sense as he'd been cheating on her the whole time)- little did I know that her boyfriend had apparently decided that he was feeling a little..."amorous" about me and was planning on making a move on me at said party. Well before DH arrives this guy tells me, "Okay so this guy is going to show up and you're going to think he's really hot shit and some of the girls here might claim they've slept with him or whatever...but he's totally gay. He will so not be interested in you because he's gay."

So I'm sat there thinking, 'Soooo should I be adding homophobe to your list of most attractive qualities?' when DH comes in with his friends and damn...he was gorgeous. So naturally I figured the old adage proved true and all the good looking ones were gay or married and carried on with the evening. Eventually I got tired of the drunken, increasingly gross shenanigans at this party and was making my way to call a cab when DH stops me and says, "Hey I'm (DH)...do you wanna get out of here?" and being brilliant/semi-inebriated I said, "Jesus am I looking that much like a dude tonight?!"

In the end he was obviously not gay, he drove me home and we've been together ever since. At our wedding in 2011 he still made sure to mention that, "[He] was never so glad to be an imposter gay guy as when he met [me]."

These stories make me so happy! I just met with DH at Toys R Us and he asked me "Why are you smiling at your phone like that?" to which I said "Its nothing." Pretty sure he thinks I am talking to some guy but its really because of how sweet these stories are! But I'm just going to let him think its another man. He had it coming after he came up to me in Nordstrom's last week and said (with a huge grin) "Man its been a while since a woman has written down 7 digits on a piece of paper and given it to me." So after he laughed at my WTF face for a few minutes, he handed me the paper and it is the sku number for the carseat base we need since they didn't have it in store. Our marriage is essentially one long game of "How much can I annoy you before you're actually mad at me." Men. :-/

I met DH in 2013 on a vacation to the Dominican Republic (I am Dominican) we met around my grandmothers house and it really was love at first sight haha. We would sit out on the sidewalk and talk, get to know each other, we would go buy food, go to the park for walks, it was great. I then went back February 2014 and that is when we actually started our relationship. It has been amazing ever since, I love telling our love story considering we are still so young.

I was going to school in Cali and I approached my now DH at a bar because I thought he was cute. My DH is British and feed me some story with his cute accent about how he was currently touring California on vacation. I was relatively new to CA and excited to be a tour guide to this cute Brit. Within half an hour he realized he really liked me and fessed up that he'd actually been living in California for 8 years! Unfortunately I had a few too many at this point and didn't believe him! We exchanged numbers and basically were inseparable ever since. :x

We are high school sweethearts.  We went to a small school so knew of each other and had a few friends in common but never really hung out.  My senior year and my husband's junior year we had an advanced biology class together.  My lab partner ended up dropping the class and so did his so we got paired together.  After waiting what seemed like an eternity (my husband was/is very shy) he finally asked me on a date after class.  12 years later and we're married, have a beautiful daughter, and a second baby girl on the way!  Still hard to believe sometimes that the goofy shy kid from bio ended up being the love of my life.

I met my SO while working together at a sushi restaurant a few years ago. I was seeing someone else at the time, but we had a spark that made me excited to come to work every Tuesday (I didn't have any shifts with him so I covered a coworker every week on a shift she had with him). Well eventually I took a chance and ended my serious relationship with the other guy. Haven't looked back since.

P.S. I want pics with these stories!

carleym93

I agree! Bring on the pics! This is me and DH for Halloween last year. We went to a party at the bar. 99% sure it is also the same day this baby was made. Hahahaha!

We were both first year teachers. I remember seeing him in the library once and thinking he was cute. A couple of months later we were both at the same basketball game and went out afterwards with some other co workers. He said he needed a ride home and I got my car stuck in the snow he told me he would help me out of I kissed him. The rest is history it's hard to believe that was 8 years ago

I met my DH at a haunted house. He was in the marines. I had just got out of a relationship with a very abusive guy. I probably wouldn't have survived if I stayed with him. He was awful. Anywho that is a whole different story. I was really depressed and upset about breaking up with this dude so one of my wonderful friends wanted to get me out of the house. She didn't tell me what we were doing or anything. She took me to this Japanese place and then she took me to this haunted house. Everyone who knows me knows I absolutely HATE anything scary. I was extremely reluctant to even go. We went to the ticket booth got our tickets and waited in line. The guy at the door said we needed 2 more people to go in with us. So my DHs brother pushed my husband up and said he will go with you. So him and his friend went with us. He was so cute! He had an adorable smile that would melt your heart. He had on his marine shirt and I'm a sucker for a guy in uniform. He was perfect. Seeing him for the first time made me forget about the breakup I went through. We went through the haunted house and unfortunately parted ways without saying anything to each other. I was hoping I would see him again but about a month passed and I got a message on Facebook. It was him. He found me on Facebook. I was so thrilled. I wanted to hang out with him again but I lost my chance he was deployed in Afghanistan but it didn't stop him from talking to me. We talked every night around 3 am over Facebook for a month. He asked me out and my crazy self took a chance. I barely even knew him but I knew there was something special about him. What was crazy about our story is my DHs brother never talked to him before the night of the haunted house. He randomly called him up that night and asked him to go. They hated each other never got along. And after that night they never talked to each other again. That was in 2011 and 4 years later here we are. I couldn't imagine being with anyone else in this world.

This was us on our wedding day:)

My husband and I met in high school. We met in the ninth grade and have been dating since the tenth grade. I followed DH to The University of Texas at Tyler where he played baseball. We just recently were married in November after five years of dating. We are so excited to be welcoming our baby boy into the world very soon!!

@kelseyrayay and a big thank you to your hubby for his service as well

Dh and I met through mutual friends. My family was living at my grandparents while building a house. I was hanging out there with said friends (parents and grandparents were all out), one of whom lived 2 houses down. DH was on his way to his friends house and saw his car in our driveway. Now, most people would be nervous walking into a house they have never been to, but not DH. He walked right in, not even knocking. I just knew it was right. Its been 12 years now, I still laugh at him for it and he still doesn't care!

voldem0rt

We met in middle school. He used to always comment on my MySpace photos throughout high school. I was with someone else for 3.5 years and we broke up... 2 months later I replied to his Facebook status about going to a haunted house. We hung out a few days later and we've been together for 2.5 years. We still have never gone to a haunted house together.

My husband and I 7 years ago this month on the 26th already posted my story on how we met but forgot to add a pic

We met on match.com but my DH being from a very traditional family wanted to tell everyone we met at the mall. And technically, we did!! We planned to meet at a local mall, at the Sharper Image store, near the sample massage chairs. They were super busy so he was waiting outside the store. He was wearing sunglasses with bright orange lenses - my thought "oh no, that's not him, no!" And it was haha! We walked around the mall had dinner, then dessert, and then he offered to take me for a drive around his side of town. - hello red flag - I was completely trusting and agreed. He had a bouquet of flowers waiting for me in his truck. I was hooked. We ended that first date with a hug. I almost chased him down for a kiss but decided I'd look crazy so I eagerly waited for his return call. By the evening of the next day I could not believe he had not called me yet! Upon the advice of the men in my Counter-Strike clan (online computer game, I think that was actually the last night I ever played) I called him myself. At about 2 years we moved across country together renting a house, at 4 or so years later were engaged and bought a house at some point, and we got married at 5 years. Now with baby #2 on the way it's been 7 1/2 years total!

maisymouse87

I originally met DB in a local bar, he was the barman and appeared kind of grumpy and unapproachable. Lol! We didn't talk apart from the drink order but I remember saying to my friend 'the barman is cute!'. Then about 3 years later after another relationship ended I saw him on Facebook and 'poked' him. Nothing happened for 2 weeks and I was feeling a bit silly, but then he sent me a message saying hello and asking how I was. 6.5 years later we are expecting our first baby together

kclg10

We met at a bar. I worked there and he played on a pool team. Ended up we lived in the same apartment complex. We were friends for a few months then he invited me on a super romantic weekend at the River Walk in SA. I ended up getting sick on the trip but he was so great about the whole thing. I knew he was the one after that. That was 8 years ago and we will be married for 6 years this June.

DH and I met on OkCupid. I was planning to move from FL to TN and decided to update my city before I moved in hopes to meet someone with potential and talk before I moved. He actually lived in NC about 2 hours from where I was moving.

He messaged me and we talked back and forth for about a week before we exchanged numbers. We talked or skyped every night and met in person once I had moved (about a month later). I think I knew after our second date that he was "the one". We saw eachother every weekend and alternated who would make the 2 hour drive. It was crazy! We were married 8 1/2 months later. We've been together for 3 years now and are expecting our first, a girl!

I never would have guessed I'd meet my husband online but I'm so glad I did. He's the best :-)

missmarissa711

Me and my SO met back in 2010 when I moved to a different town and he was friends with some of my friends that lived there. I would see him on occasion, and he HATED the guy I was with, always telling me I deserved better(like everyone did back then) and that he treated me like crap(which he did) Well, I moved from that town, the guy I was dating broke up with me after 6 years of dating, to go out with some other girl. I was devastated but got through it. A couple of years went by and I never spoke to my now SO or kept in touch. I moved in with my mother 2 years ago, and he messaged me on facebook after so long without talking. We caught up on things, and it turns out he lived only 7 minutes away! How strange right! We said we would get together but I kept blowing him off..lol..I just didn't want a boyfriend( I was so messed up from my ex and 6 years of pain) finally I gave in, and before you know it, we were talking everyday, and seeing eachother all the time. The rest is history. He is the best thing that ever happened to me. He treats me like a queen, and I have NEVER had that in a relationship. All I ever knew was pain and misery. My family adores him as well. And now we are about to have a little baby in our lives. Amazing how things work out.
