Trying to Get Pregnant

How did you meet....

your DH and how was your first date?

I'll go first. One of my good friends set us up...we actually met at a baseball game. Then she got tired of us both talking to her about the other and she 'accidentally' replied to an email I sent her to my DH. After that he contacted me and we went on our first date. haha. We went to a local brew pub. Closed the place down. He thought he hit the jackpot when he found out that I love beer, love football and love Star Trek.

Re: How did you meet....

  • I work with my DH's sister.  I was working with her for 6 years and never knew she had a brother.  I had been recently dumped and she asked if I wanted to meet her brother.  Blind date!  She has set up only 2 couples and both have turned into marriage.

  • Aw!

    Well, DH and I met through friends, and were friends first. About 8  months later, we started hanging out more often...and the we decided to make things official. We never really had a "first date" but for our 1 month anniversary he took me to this restaurant on a lake where we could see the sun set while we ate :)

    5 years later, we got married, on the day we made things official. :)

  • DH and I met Freshman year of high school - and have been madly in love ever since (11 years together, 3 years married).

    He sat behind me in French class and told me my hair was pretty.  Then, he asked me to the "Spring Fling" dance via a note passed through a mutual friend.  That was our first date.

    The best part is that they had a photographer at the dance, so we have a picture of us on our first date.

     

  • I met DH at a club of all places.

    Our first date wasn't really a "date" per se. He asked me if I wanted to go to a BBQ. Little did I know his ENTIRE family was there! So, I met his entire family on our first date. It's a good thing he is cute!

  • My husband, Matt, was a manager who got transferred to the pharmacy I was working in at the time.  I actually didn't really like him at first!  Then he kinda grew on me and made me laugh all the time.  After my son's dad and I split, I started to hang out with Matt.  The first evening we spent with my son, my son got sick and fell asleep on Matt's chest.  That made me melt and I knew it was definitely the start of something wondeful!  Here we are two and a half years later and a happy family. :)

    2 weeks of emails and phone calls -finally met at a pub/burger type place.   However my good guy friend didn't have a date for a concert at House of Blues that night, so I said I would go with him (he lived 2 blocks from the pub).    So I set date with DH for 2pm and figured I'd get out of there long before 6pm when I needed to get to other guys house to change. (FYI, I told DH I had to leave to meet up with my cousin who was in town - LIE!    He now knows the truth)  

    It went so great with DH that I got to guy #2's place at 6:30 (late) and as I was changing he asked me how the date went - I told him that was the guy I was going to marry.   Only time I ever "just knew".   

    Sad that I have completely lost touch with friend guy now, we used to be so close.

  • We met online through Match.com.  We talked through emails for a few weeks before we exchanged phone numbers.  We finally met in person about a month after we first met online.  We have been together ever since.  We first met each other at Outback for drinks on a Thursday night, neither of us wanted the night to end.

  • I became buddies with his house-mate, and eventually the 3 of us hung out together all the time at their place.  We'd all make dinner together, and have geeky movie or tv series marathons.  After about a couple months I had a thing for him, and was two weeks away from calling him up and asking him out myself, when he called me and asked me to dinner.  First time I ever squealed and hopped around laughing in response to getting asked out, lol.

    Our first date was really casual, just dinner at a cafe.

  • We officially met through a mutal friend. Our first date he took me to dinner and then to go see Toy Story (lol he really must have been trying to impress me because there is no way I could get him to do that now).

    *I say officially because we met twice before that. The first time I don't remember because I was at a party and throwing up off on these people's front steps (I know classy). DH actually stepped over me with his girlfriend at the time, lol. The second time dh's group of friends came to meet my group of friend at a club (we didn't know each other at the time). DH couldn't come inside because he was too drunk so at the end of the night I left the club with another guy and walked by DH, who was hanging out of a car window throwing up (yup, to be 18 again). We didn't put all this together until years later so it was actually pretty funny when we figured it out.

  • DH and I were both working at a residential facility for juvenile sex offenders. When you work somewhere like that you have to be REALLY close with your coworkers because you have to trust them to have your back when someone gets violent, runs away, etc. We hung out a lot before we (secretly started dating).

    DH's roomate's fiance did not like that I hung out at their apt. so much (I think she thought I was after her man which is NASTY!) and said she didn't want me over there anymore (ha ha yeah) SO we told her me and my now DH were dating. Well one thing led to another and we for real started dating. We said I love you within a month of that and started talking about getting married right after that. Turns out me and DH's roomat'es now wife are really good friends now. Happy Ending = )

    We never really had a real date because we always just hung out after work. He was my BFF before we were together so it just felt like real normal life when we went out. I still got the butterflies everytime and still do to this day = )

    I love this story! We were a chemistry.com success story. DH suggested brunch after like a month of emailing. He shook my hand after and didn't kiss me until date 3. I still tease him about it. He said he was just trying to treat me like a long term potential relationship! Worked out for him but was confusing as hell at the time.

  • We met in high school.  We never really had a first date but the first time we hung out together was with a group of his friends.  It was one of his friends birthday and also just before Christmas so he gave everyone presents.  I wasn't expecting anything but he pulled out a huge box and handed it to me.  It was a silver candelabra with purple candles.  It was so strange because my bedroom at the time was all purple and silver (don't judge I was only 15Embarrassed)

  • That's really sweet. 

     

    We met while we were both on vacation in South beach florida. It was raining and my friend and I decided to go have some drinks and MH and one of his friends gave us their bar stools ( we were soaked). DH was on a Bach party and I was away on a girls weekend. He told me at the time it was a birthday party for his friend because he was afraid he would scare us away.  I was actually not interested in him when we first met but my friend like one of his friends and we hung out with each other the first night and then saw each other a couple other times during the weekend.  Coinicidently we both lived in the NYC area and after we got back from Miami I called him and he asked me to dinner. 

    Our first date was great it was at a restaurant by my apt and drinks at a roof top bar. Our second date on the other hand accidentally turned into his whole family inviting themselves over his house for a BBQ. We were suppose to have a BBQ with 2 other couples and his family found out about it and invited themselves over.  Thankfully I'm from a big family so it really didn't bother me since his family (aunts, uncles, parents, cousins) is only about 15 people

  • My DH was in the radiology class ahead of mine. We never really knew each other, just OF each other. So, we had mutual friends, and eventually met one night playing cards. We discovered that we were both OBSESSED with mountain dew and sweet mint gum. But, I was dating someone already. So...when that relationship did not work out, my friends decided to tell my DH that I was single (apparently he had made it known that he was into me). We ended up at BOTH of our fav seafood restaurant for our first date...and then it was history! Big Smile
  • I met DH on Match.com. We IMed each other on aol the next day for an hour and a half. He gave me his phone number and I called him. He asked me out and our first date was at a local restaurant where we spent over 4 hours talking! We took our profiles off match.com and been together ever since!

  • I love reading everyone's stories on here!

    DH and I met on hotornot.com (embarassingly enough). He was so smitten with my grainy web-camera picture my friend snapped without me knowing that he bought a membership just to email me. We emailed novels to each other for 5 months (and snail mailed) before I couldn't take it anymore! I drove 6 hours (and 6 back) to spend a day with him.

    It is one of my top 5 favorite days. He took me to his favorite pizza place, then to a beautiful botanical garden. He made me dinner in his dorm room. We then went to see "Lady Killers" and afterwards walked downtown with our arms wrapped around each other. Then I drove home, and got pulled over by a cop for the first time! And then called in sick to work the next day (I was so tired). 

  • On the school bus, our first 'date' was actually just as friends to our schools battle of the bands.
  • plentyoffish.com

    We met up at a local coffee shop, chatted for a few hours, then went for a nice walk.

    My grandmother knew the moment she met him that he would be my husband. I'm glad, since she passed away before we got engaged.

  • We met in 2003. I was 17 and he was 22. Just got out of the Navy and was going to college and working at a local menards where most of my highschool friends and boyfriend at the time were working. We became friends and about 4 years later met up for dinner and it turned into so much more! We turned official in june of 07. We are complete opposites so our mutual friends found it funny that it wasn't a joke we were together. Got engaged Jan09 and married August of this year Big Smile
  • I met MH on the German equivalent to facebook, it's called meinvz.

    We started writing messages to each other, then e-mails. He was working in Germany at that time. 4 months later we finally met up in person, he came to visit me (we lived 2 hours apart from each other) and we explored Bremen, the city I lived in at that point.

    We started dating that weekend and went on a 11 day vacation to Portugal together 6 weeks later. After 3 months, only 2 days before Christmas, he had to move back to the US and since I didn't have a visa I couldn't go with him. I found a job that sponsored a visa for 1 year and I followed him 9 months later.

    I met him at work - we were both interns in completely different jobs at a big site through two different community colleges.  We met at an intern ice cream social, though neither of us is crazy about ice cream.

    We consider our first date the day we went skydiving!  We had known each other for a year, had been to a few shows with friends, had lunch with other interns on a regular basis, spent lots of time getting to know each other first!

     He came over and we talked for about an hour. He was the first guy I actually gave my number to in a bar. I usually changed the last digit or two. He called the next day, our first date was about a week later.

    Since he is in the military, he was very up front about the fact that he would be moving within a year. I said fine, I am not looking for anything serious anyway. Ha. Within a month we said I Love You and have been together ever since.

    That was 7 years ago.

    For our first date, he took me to see My Best Friend's Wedding.  I'm not sure if it was after our first date, but I remember early in our relationship, talking one night just for hours and hours about everything and anything.

     We met through a mutual friend, who I dated a few years earlier.  Lost touch after we broke up.  

    A few years later I run into him at a store with my now ex-boyfriend, who happened to be an abusive jerk.  Sparks kinda flew during that meeting, and I said screw you to the guy that hit me and cheated on me with all my friends.  And my husband opened his heart to my broken self.

     

    ..yep..real romantic!

  • We met when I first moved to the town I live in, he worked with one of the two people I knew here.  I met him immediately, I stayed with the other friend while I was starting the job I'd gotten here and finishing up my semester.  I think we were both attracted to each other (I know I was to him!!), but he was stuck in a relationship with the female I like to call Evil (not just because she's his ex, she's seriously effed up.)  About a year later, a couple months after he broke up with her, my friend and I hung out a few times (my friend and I had hung out with DH and Evil a few times while they were together) and he invited DH along, knowing we both liked each other.  We finally started hanging out on our own....we didn't really have a first date, but once it was just the two of us, we were together pretty much every night.

  • We met in college, we were in the same group of friends and he was the DJ at the college bar and I thought he was sooo cool because he could get me in without ID haha.  He was dating someone at the time and I liked him so much I literally cried every time he brought her around (pathetic I know, but I was 19!).  I had a huge crush on him but was too shy to say anything for three years. He finally broke up with her, and our mutual friend set us up.

    Our first date was to a comedy club, which he had free tickets to because he worked with Chuck Nice (the comedian- he made sure to let me know he worked with Chuck Nice to impress me lol). Then he took me up to the radio station where he worked and had the DJ mention on air that we were on our first date. He then took me to Gray's Papaya (New Yorkers know this as the place that sells 50 cent hot dogs!) and ordered a dog with onions, which I thought was gross, but I kissed him anyway.  We've been inseparable ever since- even though he spent maybe $2 on our first date lol.
