I used to be very anti-online dating. DH was my first and only online date ever. It is weird, but I had a feeling on that first date that we were going to be together for a long time. We got engaged a few months later.
We met at a bible study group in college that just happened to be at his parents house. Being the introverts we both are, we didn't speak to each other in person for a month. I made the first move. Told him I wanted to learn to play guitar because I knew he played. I got exactly one lesson. Our first official date was Freebirds and The Lion King. Dated for 3 years. Engaged and married in 2014. Had our daughter last May. And baby number 2 is due in August. He's 24 and I'm 26. But this makes me feel so old!
About 6 months after my 30th birthday I met a friend for coffee and swore to her I was completely done with dating after revealing the latest dating disaster to her. Her whole face lit up when she told me she had a single cute lawyer friend with whom she had just had lunch with. I told her I wasn't interested as I was so sick of the dating scene. She then informed me that that was tough because she gave him both my email and telephone number.
A week later I met DH for first date. We hit it off instantly. When we were saying good-bye and the date was ending we decided to get an ice cream and see the next movie at a local theater.
We just realized the other day we missed the anniversary of our first date between all the weather craziness. We've been together seven years; married in 2013 and had DS in 2014.
DH and I met the summer before I started high school. He's a year older. After the county fair I didn't see him until school started about a month later. Little did I know his aunt was my 4-H leader when I was in elementary school. Everyday he would call me a sheep herder (I wore my pants tucked in my cowboy boots...). This went on all of freshman year and most of my sophomore year until the turnabout dance. I was there with my friends and didn't have a date so ended up hanging out with his cousins when one of them finally convinced him he should ask me to dance. After that, I was stuck.
DH and I met in law school. We were placed in the same small section so we had every class together the first semester and most classes together the second semester. We didn't like each other at all at the beginning. I thought he was obnoxious and he thought I was too social during class. By late fall, we ended up in the same circle of friends. We spent a lot of time talking and I saw a completely different side of him. I had a long distance boyfriend at the time, but the more time I spent with DH, the more I realized something was there. I went to visit my long distance boyfriend during spring break and things weren't great between us. We broke up the following week and DH and I have been together ever since then. That was 15 years ago. We've been married for almost 12 years and will be completing our family with baby #3 in August.
Me and my husband have two totally different stories about how we met. If you ask me, we knew of each other from local concerts and when i moved to where he lived for school we started hanging out after talking on facebook and skyping a few times. If you ask him, I was a groupie of his band and in love with him and so I moved to his town to pursue him, haha
We met on match.com too. First date at a starbucks...Even though I was casually dating another guy from match. The casual date guy was perfect on paper...but he was soooo boring and dull..lol. My husband had just came out of a relationship, was relatively broke at the time, and had been staying with his mom while he found an apartment. Even knowing all of this, I cancelled my next date with the boring guy to go out with my husband. Dated for a year, engaged for 4 months and baby #2 o the way! ;-)
I met my husband on **Removed for TOU violation** dating site. I'd always been a lonely wolf, but one day I felt like I was actually ready to meet someone who I would marry. So, I began writing an online dating profile. I described myself as I am. The first few weeks I had a mix of half-interested guys I was not interested in at all. Then one Sunday evening one guy texted me. It felt different. He was special, I felt it from the first sentence. So, we've been 7 years together:)
