How did you meet DH / SO??

ksulli · November 2013

Grad school. I had an offer for a full ride at another school in the same city, but 15 family members had gone to BC, so I turned down the full ride, took on the student loans & met my husband. Best 30k I ever spent.

The MBA program only has about 100 students- 10 of us married each other.

@ksulli I was in the grad school of arts and sciences at BC, and out of 30 history grad students probably half of them married each other. The school should advertise!

I've given this some serious thought, here are my conclusions: you're back in grad school (smart/motivated, and 'that age') and chose BC (Jesuit school). It's a pretty good starting point. Also a very expensive dating program. But hey, you'll both have a masters, so there's earning potential, right?

More high school sweethearts here. We met at age 16, married at 21. Celebrating our 15 year wedding anniversary near (but hopefully not on) the babies' birth day

mested85 · November 2013

I met my husband in a bar. Very cliche. I was living in Missouri and he was in town working for 3 months. We spent every moment together and after 3 months I moved to Indiana where i have been for the past 6 years and we've been married for 2!!

Sisimama10 · November 2013

We met through his sister. She has been my good friend for a long time and we've worked together for two year. Eventually we met through her and have been together since.

Katiecave · November 2013

We met in middle school through mutual friends but didn't really get to know each other until we did some shows together in high school. The stage manager fell in love with the leading lady

he asked me out a ton of times before I finally said yes

Hmesh0421 · November 2013

I moved at 18 to a college away from home, my fiancé lived below me and one over. He saw me walking from my car and it was love at first sight for him (or at least he loves my assets) . He convinced my roommate to get everyone to go out (which I never did) so the one night I agreed he did drugs which we will leave unnamed and I ended up having to take care of him (wonderful first impression of him). We had a bad trip, I took him to my apartment to take care of him, he broke his windshield with his foot, then his friends made him go to the strip club. I told myself I would NEVER talk to him again. The next morning I woke up to flowers, breakfast, an apology, and him telling me he lives me from the moment he heard my voice and before that he just wanted to get in my pants (he has a way with words lol). He had the worst first impression but I knew he was sincere and I actually believed a stranger when he said he loved me...We've been together since. Good news is he's changed his ways. He loved me from the moment he saw me and I fell in love later on.

homediva · November 2013

He was doing a research study on eyes and a mutual friend asked me to participate as he needed another healthy pair of eyes. That friend is on this board too - thanks girl!! He sent me a message after saying my eyes captured more than his imaging device and we've been together ever since - 3 years of dating/engagement and married since 2010!

klgallup · November 2013

We are another eHarmony couple. We really fit perfectly together. Love that man. We have been together 6 years married for 5.

My sister met her husband on eHarmony too. We could be in a commercial.

TeachPeace · November 2013

Match.com-we too, we not "matched" DH found me when he was bored doing school work and found me about 15 pages in. According to the site, we are about 42% compatible. We just celebrated 4 years married in September and have been together for 6.5.

Lindsay808 · November 2013

I use to work at a grocery store when I was 18. He was my customer

He chickened out at first and didn't ask me for my number but then came back later and asked me to go on a date with him. Rest is history

twinklemoon · November 2013

I met my DH at a "quinseanera" (sweet15 for the hispanic culture) when I was 15. He was one of the boys in the dance routine. I was just a friend of a guest. He asked my friend if he could dance with me and she totally just let him take over while me and her were dancing. At first I was annoyed but then we were talking and dancing and we found we both loved Morrissey.I know random convo. I gave him my "pager" number hehe and we talked non stop ever since. I am now 28 he is 30. We have been together for 13 years and married 2. This is our first baby

britt33 · November 2013

We met on a dating website. Back when we met, Dating websites were still semi taboo... Some people were judgy... So we told people we met at Starbucks (where we had our first date). Now I don't care... I just tell people, "yeah, we met online".

Soon2bStaff · November 2013

Literally the first day of college and started dating a month later! We both played a fall sport so when we would hang out in between classes or practice we ended up just napping because we were both so tired! That was over 9 years ago and we got married last May!

kalalily88 · November 2013

We rode the bus together since kidnegarten (the very first day of school we sat together in the very front seat) but his family moved a lot; so we'd only seen each other in passing a few times. There was always an attraction but we never timed it right. One night at a bar we finally exchanged numbers and the rest is history

We met at a live trivia night at Buffalo Wild Wings that my brother brought me to. We've been married 6 years.

I met my husband at a live trivia game too! How funny! I had to work and was late to the game and my husband and a friend were helping the team I usually played with! We ended up winning and bought them a round of beer and we started talking and we have been inseparable every since!

babyfever1111 · November 2013

We had 7th grade English together (there's even a pic somewhere of us in that class). Then we dated for 2 years junior and senior year of HS. Then we broke up for about 6 years, and ultimately reconnected on MySpace (back before FB) and have now been together 6 years (not including our "kid" years). Crazy huh? I still can't believe it myself sometimes! We are both so different now than we were in HS. Duh!

angelaluisa · November 2013

I dated his friend first.

They moved out to L.A. together from St. Louis for the film industry. His friend was an actor that had the looks but didn't really have the personality for me. I always enjoyed talking to future DH more. I stopped dating the friend and about a year later DH and I got together. That was 5 years ago and we've been married for a year!

Luckie519 · November 2013

I was a police officer for a city police department and he was a deputy sheriff with the sheriff's office. He backed me up on a traffic stop. I thought he was totally weird that night, but about two months later, I was invited to eat dinner while working with another deputy and my DH was there. We started off as friends and literally hung out like every day for a couple of months, then it just progressed into being a couple. We have been together over 5 years total now.

DH and I say that all time time. We want to do a commercial. We also like to go out to eat and people watch and see if we can figure out who else is on a match.com date..it's a fun game we like to play!

Tallawah13 · November 2013

We met in middle school and started dating in high school. Friends ending up as first and only loves. 14 years later we are happily married. ( 7 years married)

hordol · November 2013

DH and I met online as well (okcupid.com).

He messaged me and I read and liked his message, but I was on my phone so I was going to wait until I was near a computer to reply. I almost forgot to reply and remembered like 3 days later! To this day I still can't believe I almost missed out on this amazing man.

If anyone has ever used Okcupid, you know that girls kind of get swarmed with messages so it was easy for me to initially forget my DH's message. I was the only girl DH took out from Okcupid (although he texted another for awhile), and I went out with about 7 guys from the site and DH really showed them all up just by taking initiative. He made it clear he was interested and wasn't wishy-washy, which I appreciated because I think a lot of guys let their nerves get the best of them (can't blame them, but still.) Both of us were really only on the site for about a month.

J&NL · November 2013

We've known each other since we were teenagers but I never saw him as someone to date since he's over two years younger than me. Well, that was up until one night we both connected and we've been together ever since!

Sarahjess06 · November 2013

We usually tell people "mutual friends"

Actully, it was the night before thanksgiving (biggest bar night of the year

) he was sleeping on the couch I planned to crash on...

ended up being the best drunken decision I've ever made. I still giggle when we go to that friends house, they still have that couch

mellabella920 · November 2013

Brian and I met while I was out celebrating one of my friends birthday. It was May 18, 2008 and the bar was basically empty. Since it was my friends 21st birthday she insisted we go out the night before that way, in common ritual, she could have her first drink at midnight. Brian was there with a small group of his friends. Being that we were the only group of girls in there, and yes my friend wore the cliche crown and sash, we naturally were receiving a lot of attention. My sister, who was also there, was an acquaintance of his which I knew but never never really considered an option. Brian decided to be a good friend and show his less confident buddy how to talk with girls. He came over basically singling me out. He knew my sister Rosie who actually had dated one of his friends in the past, so she was out and didn't necessarily take an interest in the birthday girl, which left me. We got to talking and it was nothing too out of the ordinary, just common small talk. Where are you from, what do you do? Blah blah blah. At the point where it was time to go back with his group my sister, the outgoing and outspoken person she is told Brian that he should ask me for my number and take me out. Im usually not like that but agreed, took his phone and put in my number under a silly name. Which is still entered in that way. Brian begs to differ, but I remember the next day he texted me to see if we all got home ok and we're safe. A few days later I was in a bind and needed a ride on a Friday morning to take my dog who had be injured in a car accident to the vet for a one week visit to check on how he was healing. With nobody to drive me (he needed to be held and I couldn't drive and do that at the same time) Rosie suggested that I ask him. Reluctantly, I sent the text asking "Hey, do you like dogs?" He replied yes and I explained the situation and he was willing to help out me, basically a stranger. In return I offered to take him out to lunch wherever he'd like. I must admit that for him being a stranger I was a little nervous but wanted to make a good impression because you never know. I went out and bought a new sun dress and got all dolled up. After the appointment we went out to lunch, and the rest was history. We have been together ever since.

LolaX2 · November 2013

Well we grew up in the same town and went to school together. We were friendly through most of school and dated for a year when he was a senior and I was a sophomore. then he went away to school and we kind of went on our own ways for 2 and a half years. Then he randomly sent me a letter that he still thought of me often and regretted that we weren't still together etc and I felt the same way. He was the only guy that I ever really loved and he was my first everything. We started dating again that June and were engaged that Christmas, married 2 years later. We have now been happily married for just over 9 years with a 21 month old DS and a LO on the way. He truly is my best friend, love and one of the only people that I can openly be just myself and tell anything too.

JuneDay2913 · November 2013

We met when I was 20 at a friends 21st birthday at a bar. She game him my phone number (I was so mad at her!) Been together over 10 years just got married in June

LBStewart · November 2013

We met at new teacher orientation. I was fresh out of college and he was starting a new career.

Deannac430 · November 2013

We met while hanging out with a bunch of people at someone's house. We only had one mutual friend (who neither of us knew very well). We talked for a little while and didn't exchange numbers or anything. I thought he was really cute, but was too shy to ask to hang out again. About a week later I got a message from him online. I instantly recognized him from his picture, but he didn't talk like he remembered. I finally said, "You know we've met before, right?" Only then was he like oh yea we have! We went out the following weekend. It was about two months later he finally admitted he knew it was me the whole time, he just didn't think he stood a chance with me.

Morgan2992 · November 2013

I dated a friend of his 2.5 years ago. DH had a girlfriend as well. After both relationships had ended, we shortly after hit it off. Which of course caused expected drama. A few months later when things settled down we started hanging out again, and here we are!

Asljoc · November 2013

We met our junior year of high school. I went to a small private school and had basically grown up with all the kids in my class so dating was awkward. Any new student was "fresh meat". He walked into my home room class in it was love at first site for him. He asked me out a few times and by January I said yes. I knew it was forever when he gave up his dream college choice to follow me to my small college in the middle of nowhere. Been together almost 16 years and married 10.

anease · November 2013

I dated DH's friend..... but there was no cheating involved. We've been married for 4 years today!

kseccomb17 · November 2013

He was that little boy in elementary school who teased me and obviously I didn't care about boys at that point. Then he became one of the more popular kids in high school and I focused more on academics. He becames friends with me on MySpace (at the beginning of my senior year, he'd already gone into his trade) and messaged me his number. I never ever thought I'd use it, but my friend had a question for his brother so I texted him. Been inseparable ever since. We are celebrating our anniversary on the 26th. Can't believe it's already been five years♡♥♡

Sheybre · November 2013

We went to the same college but never actually spoke to each other. He played football and I thought he was incredibly good looking so I creeped and added him on FB. About 3 years later, I was living in California when he started commenting/liking all my FB posts. Then started sending me messages and eventually went to talking or texting all day every day for several months. I moved back to Texas, we "officially" met and spent the most romantic weekend on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Inseparable since.

Ps. I love reading all of these wonderful love stories :x

reginahcampbell · November 2013

We met at a bike race. He was racing, I was volunteering as the race was put on by my bike team. We ended up getting a ride back to the city with the same people. Chatted the entire way back (30min) and then got a late dinner. I asked him to breakfast the next day, because there was this place I've been dying to go to and they're only open for breakfast. And we've been together ever since.

Stace0616 · November 2013

I randomly viewed his profile on OkCupid and cocky boy that he is, he messaged me saying I must've seen something I liked. It was his first month on OkC, but I had been on there sporadically since high school. Something about 99% of my social group being gay men didn't lead to me meeting a ton of dating prospects

So we exchanged a few messages and decided to go out for coffee after work a couple days later. The same coffeehouse I've had every first date at for years (so I don't get abducted!) and we ended up talking until they closed the place down at 11pm. He was just so different and interesting, I felt like I could have stayed and talked to him forever.

Three years (6 months of it long distance) later, we are married and expecting our first baby! So for all of the duds--and trust me, there were a LOT--I finally had a great date from a website!

Jennick602 · November 2013

We went to school together aged 9, then we went to different secondary schools. Years went by... He was married and divorced and I was lonely, he then found me on Facebook and asked if I'd go for a drink, I refused twice feeling pathetic for still being single, but the third time I went and as they say 'the rest is history'. I could not imagine my life without him. They say it hits you hard when your not expecting it to, and bit has it hit me! So glad he asked a third time

CalinAZ · November 2013

I met him as he was moving into the apartment below mine! Asked me out on a run about 20 minutes into the conversation, and we've been inseparable ever since, over 6 years later.
