Mutual friend! We actually went to college together and knew who the other person was, and met once, but didn’t really know each other. Fast forward a couple years and our mutual friend came to visit me in Chicago and wanted to meet up with him. She said if we didn’t become friends then she’d de-friend both of us...and here we are!
*nerd alert* we met in high school in the robotics program we now mentor.
DH claims to know me from a class we were both in the school year prior to me joining the program, but I don't believe him. I think there's proof somewhere, but I guess he didn't catch my attention at that time.

We met through mutual friends. I worked with a girl and her husband worked with dh. They basically set us up. Her and I went out for drinks with people from work one night and they met us there. It’s been 10 years so I guess it was a good set up haha
We went to college together, apparently he knew me but I had no clue who he was. My BFF worked with him and we were out to dinner one night and he had a hard time concentrating on talking to his GF because he was talking to me!
ETA: Funny Story. When I was 16 I went to a friends house. We were walking in her front door and her across the street neighbors were acting so crazy and I was like WTF are those boys doing. She responded with, "Oh, don't worry about them. That's the <enter last name> boys, they are weird" YEP I am married to that guy!
Mutual friends. His bestie was dating mine. Those 2 were hanging out with me at my grandparents house (where my family was living while building a house) with another guy friend. He saw one of the guys cars in the driveway and stopped by. Literally walked right in without knocking. It was love at first sight!
We met through my college bestie. I actually tried to get my bestie to date him because I thought he was super sweet and good looking. Little did I know he was actually interested in me instead!
We met online. My bestie and I were hanging out on a dating site on a Saturday night and she thought he was a perfect match for me!

I lived across the street from his brother. Long story short, his mom sent him over to fix a breaker during a girls' night at my place. We flipped the breaker intentionally.
DH and I met online. We actually both messaged each other simultaneously. Four hours of conversation later, we made plans to meet in person that night. Obviously, the rest is history . What's weird about the whole thing is that our families don't know we met online. My parents are extremely against online dating so I made something up about how we met. I know I'm an adult and shouldn't have lied, but the Catholic guilt is strong haha. Anyway, things got serious and we ended up engaged and then married; we never told the truth. Everyone thinks we met at a party while he was DJing. Not exactly sure what we'll do/say if/when we have children!
We met at college - sort of. He had already graduated from the same school and was in town visiting his younger brother who I was friends with. We got to know each other for about 6 months before our first actual date.
Ha! @themadcamel I just went to a wedding where the couple met on Tinder and their family thinks they were set up by mutual friends lol. I was actually expecting more meeting online stories! Seems like most still meet the old fashioned way.
We met through a mutual friend. We were actually both seeing other people when we met but broke up with them around the same time and then started hanging out. He originally told me he didn't want to date seriously so I said ok and started dating other people and he changed his mind pretty quickly. Once we made it official we moved across the country together and got engaged within 5 months.
His friend and coworker introduced us. I kind of knew her from mutual friends. I was invited at a party, she was there, a little drunk and was telling me about her coworker who was so nice but worked too much to meet someone. She joked about setting us up. Nothing happened for 8 months when she contacted me out of the blue, asking if I remembered her and was I still interested in meeting her coworker. I said yes why not and 3 weeks later we had our 1st date. That was in early 2014. 3.5 years later we were married.
TTC#1 10/2018: MFI (2 SA under 9 million/ml) 11/2018: HSG shows right Fallopian tube slightly damaged 1/2019: Husband diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele 4/05/2019: varicocele repair surgery 6/13/2019: BFP!!! EDD: 2/22/2020 Baby girl born 2/27/2020 7/18/2019: Total Motile Count at 3 months post surgery = 51 millions!! (number must be >20 millions to conceive naturally).
We volunteered together with our local cultural organization. I've been involved since birth but he stopped coming around after his grandfather passed away about 16 years ago. We've known each other for almost 10 years now but he was in a relationship when we met and he went on to marry her. Unbeknownst to me, the reason our paths kept crossing is because he would find any and every excuse to show up at events that he knew I was attending, or to volunteer for the worst jobs just to get closer to me. He always thought I was out of his league and because I'd been involved with a married man once before, I vowed not to put myself in that situation ever again.
I made a post on FB a few years ago about my struggles with mental health (anxiety and depression) and he reached out to me to share his own struggles. We became really close, maybe too close, and in the process of helping each other come to terms with our issues he found the strength to leave his awful marriage and the rest is history. He moved in with me once he moved out of their house, we bought a house together less than a year later and now we're engaged and planning a wedding for July!
I'm never going to be able to live it down that my mother was right. She has said for years that I needed to find someone just like [my fiance]. Guaranteed she's going to say it at our wedding.

We met in Target in the bath isle (the first time). I just moved that week and finished a long run and went to Target to get new home essentials ( I was wearing a awful fanny pack, no make up and a nasty sweaty mess). He sparked up a conversation and found out I just moved to a new state. He was asked for my number and I'm super passive and figured I would just ghost him. We text for about a month before running into each other again in Target. Then we had our first official date the next night at Disneyland. We have been joined at the hip ever since!
I met DH through a mutual friend... and we were set up as "friends with benefits". I was 18 and DH was 20 and I officially met him on my first day of college. After having fun as FWB for a month or two, we fell in love and decided to date for reals and the rest is history. That was 14 years ago, got married in 2012.

@lulu1180 We also met on OKC! We generally tell people we don't recommend it because it's a free site that seemed to be dominated by very strange people, and took a lot of weeding through to find the good ones, haha.
His profile caught my eye because it was very honest and funny, and he wasn't just trying to make himself sound like God's gift to women. I had just gotten out of a 6 year relationship that I had been in my entire adult life, so I just causally joined OKCupid to get some dates under my belt. I went on a couple of... interesting dates before meeting him. I actually told all my friends that I didn't like him and wasn't going to go out with him again because I was in denial about going straight into another relationship. We kept talking regularly, and I ended up going out on a second date with him, and after that we were pretty much inseparable. We've been together for 10.5 years now!
@themadcamel I never understood people who are against meeting someone online. How is taking the time to talk to someone and get to know them before meeting in person worse than meeting a stranger in a bar? To me, it seems safer if you're smart about it!

Add another one to the online list, twice! The first time we started talking and we didn't have the opportunity to meet immediately, until one night he messaged and said "My plans just fell through, do you want to meet up?". Well, I knew he was a navy man and they tend to have a reputation lol, so I turned him down. I wasn't going to be someones last minute plans. Months went by and we didn't talk, I dated someone else briefly and he had been deployed. But we both ended up online again and started talking. This time it took us about three weeks of talking every day and planning to meet each other before it happened (not because we didn't want it to happen sooner). We clicked as soon as we met and have not been apart other than him having to travel for work. The timing was right and it was meant to be!
Tinder lol. I had just gotten out of a horrible relationship, so I was just trying to get to know guys and hang out and get my confidence back. I really didn't want a relationship in general but i wanted to be with him more. Our signature drink at our wedding was called "swipe right".
We met on Plenty of Fish, which surprises most people. Is it not generally a successful website?!
@themadcamel omg so funny that your family still doesn't know either. My family is catholic and Caribbean (a double whammy of strictness and guilt), so needless to say...they think we met in school
We met on Eharmony. I was terrified that he was a stranger whom nobody I knew could vouch for, so I didn’t let him know where I lived for a LONG time. FINALLY, on one of our early dates, I let him pick me up in his car at a local grocery store parking lot...and that was only because I really didn’t want to have to drive/park to our date venue. 😆 Our date got rained out, he brought me back to my car, and then he had to drive another hour back to his place completely soaked, since I didn’t invite him back to my place to dry off. Poor guy.
These are great stories! We met on a blind date set up by my college roommate. They worked together at the time. She asked if she could give him my phone # and we started talking before we actually met up a week or two later. We'll be married 10 years this spring.
@marbellie I've had some pretty atrocious experiences on POF in my day, but no more or less so than OKC. Never tried Tinder. I was always just looking for something so specific that it never worked out (Because he was right in front of me the whole time).

@jennifer_louise@marbellie glad to know I’m not the only one living a lie LOL @katyl90 omg I love that your signature drink was called Swipe Right! @shamrocandroll right?! It’s not like I was underage or being an idiot about it.
I went on several dates with people from OK Cupid and there were definitely a lot of... memorable experiences. DH and I actually met on a very sex specific site, but our close friends who know we met online think it was OKC haha.
Dh and I have lived in the same small town for many years, but in different counties, so we did not go to the same school. He added me on Myspace because he thought I was hot (how not romantic) (Also I originally said Facebook and then remembered my age, lmao).
We talked about a few times and he stopped talking to me because I was dating someone. I was talking to him because I was miserable in what I now realize was an abusive relationship. Fast forward to me and boyfriend breaking up.
The night I graduated high school dh saw me at our towns carnival and started to talk to me on myspace again. A week later we started to date.
I was in a bad relationship for 6 years with a man who cheated, lied, and just was not a good person. I was depressed and just a shell of a person.
My mom, brother, and myself all went to the same auto repair shop in town. One day I saw DH he failed my car for inspection. I was so drawn to him and started driving non-stop around my town so I could get the miles on my Jeep to get an oil change to see him!
I broke up with my ex and a day later DH had our first date. Moved in 4 months after that!
So many online dating success stories! I also met my bf on the pof ! He messaged me because I said I was into geocaching and he asked if I meant frolf (frisbee golf) so I very rudely messaged him back and said absolutely not hahaha. Our first date, he picked me up and we went to Costco and he grocery shopped lol. I tell it to everyone we meet and he hates that I do lol. Says his only regret is that he picked a better first date. I think it’s awesome and it was honestly the best first date because we both knew if we didn’t like each other we could just ditch out, plus safety wise, being surrounded by a thousand people makes a girl feel safer lol. I actually loved online dating because I’m so shy in person and didn’t really go to pubs or bars so no where to meet someone really and all my friends were also single or marrried so no one had anyone to introduce me too.
I am so late to this party but once I read through these I had to post mine too! These are all such cute stories, and I love how many are through dating websites or apps! Shows that those can really work!
DH and I met at a mutual friend's party. I was excusing myself to smoke (which I haven't done it over 2.5 years!) and I heard to men ask if they could accompany me. I said sure I didn't care. I talked with them and I don't know what drew me to him but there just was a connection. We ended up dating for 6 months, breaking up, not talking for over a year, talking again as just friend because we had SO's then we both ended up being single and the rest is history.

@katyl90 omg I love that your signature drink was called Swipe Right!
@shamrocandroll right?! It’s not like I was underage or being an idiot about it.
I went on several dates with people from OK Cupid and there were definitely a lot of... memorable experiences. DH and I actually met on a very sex specific site, but our close friends who know we met online think it was OKC haha.
My mom, brother, and myself all went to the same auto repair shop in town. One day I saw DH he failed my car for inspection. I was so drawn to him and started driving non-stop around my town so I could get the miles on my Jeep to get an oil change to see him!
I broke up with my ex and a day later DH had our first date. Moved in 4 months after that!
So beautiful how God works!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
He messaged me because I said I was into geocaching and he asked if I meant frolf (frisbee golf) so I very rudely messaged him back and said absolutely not hahaha.
Our first date, he picked me up and we went to Costco and he grocery shopped lol.
I tell it to everyone we meet and he hates that I do lol. Says his only regret is that he picked a better first date. I think it’s awesome and it was honestly the best first date because we both knew if we didn’t like each other we could just ditch out, plus safety wise, being surrounded by a thousand people makes a girl feel safer lol.
I actually loved online dating because I’m so shy in person and didn’t really go to pubs or bars so no where to meet someone really and all my friends were also single or marrried so no one had anyone to introduce me too.
DH and I met at a mutual friend's party. I was excusing myself to smoke (which I haven't done it over 2.5 years!) and I heard to men ask if they could accompany me. I said sure I didn't care. I talked with them and I don't know what drew me to him but there just was a connection. We ended up dating for 6 months, breaking up, not talking for over a year, talking again as just friend because we had SO's then we both ended up being single and the rest is history.
