Did you meet your SO online? :)

DragonflyDreaming · July 2014

Saw this on the February board, and it's very applicable!

Two of my closest friends are in relationships from online, as well.

DragonflyDreaming · July 2014

We met on PlentyofFish, but his profile popped up while I was on ok cupid as someone I may want to know, as well, soon after we started talking.

Our meeting was weird. We have a mutual friend whom I had texted asking if he wanted to go out for drinks, but my SO was holding the guys phone trying to fix something with it. He texted me back and was so cocky that I had to know more about him. I looked him up on fb and, after picking my jaw up off the floor, I sent him a friend request. We talked back and forth on fb for a couple weeks before we met in person.

I guess that counts as meeting online? I don't know what to call it.

Nope. He was the hot slacker who sat behind me in philosophy class in college. He liked checking out my whale tail. I was classy back in the day.

sjep922 · July 2014

We met in high school. Just friends back then.

He had a baby with his girl friend from high school and then we started talking again about a year later. The rest is history!!

I need to know what this is.

We met in HS. I was the drama dork and he was the drinking, smoking, party boy. We both had a thing for each other but at that time didn't see it happening. 5 years later his stepbrother married my sisters bff. We were both date-less and after short conversation decided to be each others date. That was 6 years ago today!

He's younger by two years and when we met he was still in college. I lived with his sister and developed a huge attraction toward him but he remained rather oblivious. So I told him after four and a half years that I wanted to date him and a year later we are married and pregnant!

jcadams30 · July 2014

It's a yes & no

My SO saw me on FB & asked a mutual friend about me. The mutual friend contacted me but I wouldn't give him my number. So my SO sent me a message in my inbox & we've been inseparable ever since

PuppyLove84 · July 2014

We met in a coffee shop that my friend had dragged me to so I could meet her new bf. He had brought a friend along and let's just say my mood really perked up when I met the friend! :x
My friend and her bf broke up about a month later, but that was back in 2009 and DH and I are still going strong!

kellybug80 · July 2014

We met in college during a semester in Madrid. One of our first conversations involved clown porn, so you just know it was meant to be.

The first half of your story is just like mine! Drama nerd and all

I was a drama nerd too! Why are we SO in love?

I studied abroad in Spain during college, too! So amazing.

lhill88 · July 2014

I met my husband at a bar in college. I was actually trying to avoid his whole group because I briefly dated his best friend about a month earlier. Turns out his friends quite the "good luck Chuck"...just about all the wives dated him before marrying someone else in the group.

KJH23 · July 2014

We are high school sweethearts. We were even prom king and queen. We started middle school together, and I had a massive crush on him 6th & 7th grade. H was the hot class clown and I was the dork with leopard print looking glasses, braces, and curly short hair. Yeah I was hot, what can I say. I finally grew up look wise and he gave me a chance in 9th grade. 12 years later here we are!

4RingCircus · July 2014

We met on eHarmony while DH was deployed in Iraq, so it was actually 6 months before we met in person.

Yasm33na · July 2014

We had an arranged marriage (it was done through our parents) ... I had all sorts of reservations about it since my father had a terrible track record with bringing men home for me to meet (two ended up abusive and the rest were just jerks)- but He lived in Germany (so he was, I figured, at a safe distance

) and I had already heard a lot of nice things about him from his cousin (whos' father is my own fathers best friend).... So I agreed and We got to know each other over the next few months on msn messenger and skype .. It didn't take long for me to love him and apparently he felt the same, since, two months later, he officially asked my father for my hand

Now almost 5 years later, we are married, happy and expecting

MrsLaurenandDan · July 2014

We were in different choirs at the same high school. We met through a mutual friend (who we are still friends with) when we all say together at lunch at State choir festival our freshman year of high school. Our friend as and I were being rediculous, giggly freshman girls. He though I was a ditz because at one point S and I tried to high five but we laughing so hard we missed and fell out of our chairs. That was 15 years ago.

wendyld · July 2014

We met at a gas station that we both worked at the first summer home from college. We were just friends then and eventually lost touch. Almost a decade later I randomly ran into one of his friends at a bar (we were left to awkwardly talk as my friend hooked up with his roommate) and we discovered how we knew each other. About a year and a half later, my H and I made the jump from friends to more and we knew right away that it was the real deal. I couldn't imagine a better match for me.

antsangel1118 · July 2014

@DragonflyDreaming, my husband and I also met on Plentyoffish! Neither of us were really intending to find anybody. I just created a profile to browse cause there was just nobody around that I could see potential with. There were no guys my age at my church, and I didn't know anybody that I would consider being in a relationship with. So I just wanted to see what kind of people were out there. DH's best friend's wife actually created his profile and he was just browsing. We both had only been members for a few days. He came across my profile and messaged me. Neither of us had talked to any other people. We met a couple weeks after messaging back and forth and exchanging phone numbers. And from there it's history. After we were in a real relationship he told me he saw my picture and just knew he HAD to meet me and when he met me he knew he wanted to marry me. We got married 10 months after meeting and will be married 3 years in August.

BostonAlison · July 2014

Met at a mutual friends BBQ.. Totally boring

kevinslove · July 2014

We met through a blind date set up by our mutual friend. Our friend and his wife went on the date with us because my husband is SO shy, that our friend didn't think he would talk to me if they weren't there. As it turns out, my husband talked the entire time. He later told me that he knew on the first date that he wanted to marry me, because I was the only girl that he has felt comfortable enough to talk to. We've been together 9.5 years.

copperrose · July 2014

Yes-we met on match! We both weren't looking for anything serious-cut to 4 months later married and pregnant

CoozieInMyPurse · July 2014

We met on person, but the internet played a big part. He watched Top Chef and tweeted about. He ended up meeting up in person with other Top Chef tweeters in our town to watch the show. Two of them were my friends. One friend threw herself a 30th birthday party and invited him and me. We met at that party. We then proceeded to flirt via Twitter, text and finally phone calls for a month before going on a date. We were married just over three years from that first meeting.

thejucheidea · July 2014

We met at an anti-Scientology protest. He was dating someone else when we first met, but a year and a half later, he asked me out and we moved in together soon after because we were already really close friends.

labgrand2012 · July 2014

I met my husband when I studied abroad in England during university. Some of my friend met his friends at a bar and they were invited to a house party the next day. They brought me along with them and it was DHs house. I first hit on someone else, but they had a GF. I ended up staying all night and we have been together ever since. That was nearly 10 years ago.

lisap0924 · July 2014

We met through his son's mother. Her and I used to be friends. (So weird I know!)
She introduced us (both of us very hesitant) thinking we would just hook up, but it didn't work out that way

It's been a hard ride with her, but after 3 years and a marriage I think she has finaly realized I am here to stay and I love her son like he is my own

cafecreme · July 2014

Yep. We met on a local AIM chatroom, back in 2006!

littlekeller · July 2014

High school sweethearts. Together 11 years.

graciesmurf · July 2014

We met a a birthday party. I was dating the guest of honor and he was there with someone else too.

BitsyBelle84 · July 2014

We met on match. He was stationed at the Air Force Base my father had just retired from. Emailed back and forth for a couple of weeks before finally going out on a date. Married two years later and had our third anniversary this past march.
