We used to work together. We were a team who frequently worked alone together but it took him 2 years to ask me out. I was always dating other people. But we knew that we made a really good team, better than the others we worked with. We had chemistry from the very beginning. We started dating and moved in together with in 2 months. That was 8 years ago. 6 months into dating I got a job in another state and he immediately quit his and came with me. We will be married 6 years in September. We now work for he competition in our area and our bosses are always trying to recruit the other so we can work together. But we like keeping work/life separate now.
We went to school together (not sure of how England classes compare to American so il just do ages!) from 11 years old to 16. We didn't really roll in the same circles, he was a Star Wars greasy geek and I was obsessed with boys and the new invention of hair straighteners ) we both made assumptions on each other based on who we hung around with at school. I hid my geekyness and love of Harry Potter as it wasn't "cool".
Then we went on to sixth form (16-18yo) and at 17 he finally washed his hair... I finally realised the world didn't revolve around the cool kids and we got talking. Within a week I think I'd fallen in love with him, it was pretty crazy! Our personalities match and clash in all the right ways. We have a lot in common but just enough differences to keep things interesting and fun. I guess when you get together at school you get to spend all day together so you learn a lot about each other really fast. We became girlfriend and boyfriend just before Christmas 2005. He proposed on my 20th birthday. We got married in 2010 (it's our 5 year wedding anniversary today!) and bam- 2 kids and a bump, 2 houses later. We've been together for 10 years this Christmas.
This is why I'm trying to bring my kiddies up with the confidence to like whatever they want to and to not be ashamed of it. Dh has really helped me with that over the years!
We met from online, instagram actually lol. When it first came big online hit. We could play the game of going back and forth liking one another pictures and leave cute comments. One day he dm me telling me he thought I was beautiful. We made small talk for a while but nothing happened being that we lived in two different states but only a 45 min drive away from each other. Finally we exchanged numbers we would talk on the phone for hours and FaceTime every morning and night. One day he met me after work down by south street seaport and we've been inseparable since that day.
we worked together at Hardee's in high school and went on one date to see the grudge 2... 6 years later he said hi to me in a bookstore and we hung out and have been together since
So, this one time at [band] camp... DH and I met while working at the same summer camp. I was 19, working and travelling during my gap year between school and university, he was there for his second summer. I worked in the Horseback department and he was in RPG/Rocketry. I'm not entirely sure how our paths crossed that first year, but he swears they did and he's adamant he remembers exactly what I was wearing the first time he saw me. We both end up working there for the next few summers, but its not until my third year that we get together. Ozzfest was coming to town and I was desperate to go, but had no transport. I asked my boss/best friend if she knew of anyone going, and she in turn asks her BF (the camp director, who has freakish abilities to know any and all gossip), who suggests asking Superdave. At this point we've hung out by chance a couple of times when we've both ended up at the same place at the same time. So I put on my big girl panties and catch him leaving breakfast one morning. Because I'm a dick, not only do I ask if he fancies going to Ozzfest with me, but also if he wouldn't mind driving us there. And buying the tickets because my debit card wouldn't work. Best day off, ever. It's still strictly platonic at this point, but Mike's Hard Lemonade and a toga party in the staff parking lot one night soon saw to that... He was meant to be my summer fling, but I wound up pregnant with kiddo1.0 and we did the long-distance off-and-on thing for a couple of years until DS was 2. I got an email from my camp boss one day that literally said "one of my staff just quit, get on a plane I need you" . She meant it jokingly, but I was actually in a position to do it. Less than two weeks later I was back at camp, kiddo1.0 was spending the summer with DH's mom at her folks' place in MI, and DH and I were very much on again. We got engaged at the end of that summer after a crazy 9500 road trip through 30 states and Ontario, and then DS and I flew home the next day. I came back to work the next summer at camp, we got married the September after, and my Green Card application was approved that December. That was 2010. We moved into our own home last August, we'll be celebrating our fifth anniversaryin Sepetember, and the Nugget is due to arrive early November...
Love the stories! We met the first weekend of freshman year in college. He was really shy but we had roommates who knew each other. We started out with a big group but then everyone settled into different groups but us. No one else wanted to see corpse bride but us so that ended up being our first date. It's been almost 10 years now (3 married) and we couldn't be happier
We met on OKCupid. I had mentioned on my profile that I'm an Aries and he messaged me about how he was interested in astrology and got along well with air signs. (Aries is a fire sign.) He swears he made the mistake on purpose to see my reaction. lol. We started messaging each other and then emailing each other. Our emails ended up like 3 - 5 pages so after a month we decided to start calling each other. After 2 months we decided to meet in person.
BF is only the second person I dated and I was so nervous. I had no clue how to date someone as an adult. I'd barely dated as a kid! lol. It turned out well though. Our first date was ok and I thought, he's going to be a good friend. Our second date was on New Year's Eve and was absolutely magical. Our daughter's due date is 5yrs from the date he first messaged me.
If there's something strange underneath the hood. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. If there's something weird and it don't look good. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. Immediately. If it's new, painful, and possibly pregnancy related get your ass off the internet and call your doctor. It's for your health and your child's.
I was actually talking to one of DH's friends for a while. Things didn't work out and when he found out he asked his friend if it was ok to take me out on a date. We dated for 2 years, engaged, married for almost 5, one DD and a bump here we are.
Awesome stories! I was friends with my brother-in-law and he kept saying he couldn't wait for me to meet DH because apparently we were going to "fall in love and get married". I had a boyfriend at the time but thought DH was really funny. My dad suggested I leave my ex for DH after meeting him (he changed my tire and drove my car home). Well, I would never date him because he was too young and too short (3 years younger and 5 inches shorter than me). I broke up with my ex (who really did suck) and DH and I grew closer and closer until I finally asked him out (yep, I asked the guy I would never date out). October will be 7 years for us and we have our first baby on the way! Never say never!
We met in high school I was 15 and he was 17. He just broke up w his gf and prom was coming up and all of my friends were seniors (so was he) and I wanted to go to prom but couldn't unless I was asked because I was a sophomore. I thought he was cute. He was popular and I wasn't so I knew who he was and he didn't know me haha. I got his number, we hung out, he asked me to prom, asked me to be his girlfriend, then years later asked me to be his wife. He's my best friend and we are crazy in love
Back home in South Dakota, my hubby was in the same National Guard unit as my brother. Also in that guard unit was a friend I graduated high school with. I was snap-chatting my friend from high school, and he goes "hey freezer (my brother's nickname), I'm snapchatting your sister!" and my DH goes "Freezer has a sister?" he then creeped me via Facebook, we talked once, but then he went after another girl, which didnt last long. Anyways he teased my brother all year about me, saying he was going to ask me out, which he never did for a whole year. Then finally, last January 2014, he started talking to me on Facebook, I then heard from my high school buddy that he was going overseas, and I thought he was just trying to get some ass before he left. Well he wasn't going overseas, he was going Active Duty and was going to Georgia and North Carolina (where we are now) for training for Special Forces.
Long story short, we ended up dating and we fell fast in love. Engaged that fourth of July 2014, in Georgia, and married in December 2014. Expecting our first beautiful girl this November
I technically met my DH in high school, but it was one night. I think n saw him again 5years later at a Halloween party. I was just getting out of work so I was dressed as a "business woman" and DH was dressed as Angus Young from AC/DC. Prep school jacket, shorts, tie, wig and a blow up guitar. When we saw each other it was like the movies. The whole room disappeared but us. Fast forward 12 years and 2 kids later, we're as strong as ever.
My husband and I both moved to the same apartment complex (independent of each other) in a small-ish city within two weeks of each other in 2007. Neither one of us knew anyone else in the city, and we both had dogs so we would hang out at our apartment's dog park all the time, then one day one thing led to another. Before I learned his name when I talked about him to my friends back home I would call him "my boyfriend," little did I know we would get married 5 years later!
He added me, and OMG ladies - he was so cute I had to message him right away. We immediately made plans to meet up, and I am so glad that we did. We've been together for six years, and he is my best friend. I swear, sometimes we're so in sync we can read each other's minds. Lol.
We're not married yet because we're both students (if we were married they would combine our incomes and take away financial aid), but we have plans to get married the year after next.
I am beyond thankful for him, and I'm so excited that he's going to be a father. :x
I'm not sure if it's my hormones, or the fact it's my anniversary so I'm all lovey, or if I'm just a lame ass. But these stories are so cute. I love hearing how people meet! Imagine moving in to a new appartment and actually bagging yourself a new boyfriend/husband too!
My husband and I met through an online game. We played for 2 years before we met in real life. He was living in the Netherlands and I was in California, USA. We never shared pictures, we just described ourself to each other. We met for the first time at Los Angeles airport. He flew from Amsterdam, 13 hour flight. We felt in love within a few weeks, and we got married 25 days after. We been together for 5 years and last year I met his family. We spent 3 weeks in the Netherlands, I felt in love with his country and family.
We met in college. We became friends because we both had mutual friends there. I was dating someone else at the time but eventually broke up with that boyfriend. DH and I had random drunk sex a few times and were 'friends with benefits' for awhile. We were exclusive but I claimed I didn't want to be in a relationship again and refused to call us boyfriend/girlfriend for a solid year. We moved in together after college and were surprised with DD1 after about 3 years of dating. We got married when DD1 was 18 months and are now expecting our 3rd little girl! Love him to pieces ♡
My fiance and I were both tag-a-longs of mutual friends when meeting out for drinks one night. We had met 3 years prior but we were both so shy we never really spoke. We started a conversation after finding out we work in the same industry and have never looked back. I don't even have the words to describe how lucky I feel to have found him.
My husband and I met in high school. His best friend was dating my best friend. We started going on double dates a lot and hit it off. Our friends aren't dating any more but we are still friends with both of them. We have been together for 9 years now and I couldn't be any happier to be having a baby with my high school sweetheart!
We first met when I moved and started a new junior high. I still remember the first time I saw him and what he was wearing. I thought he was so cute, but my self-esteem wasn't the best so I didn't think I'd even have a shot. We ended up running in the same social circle but always dating other people. I didn't see him after high school and hadn't spoken to him in almost 10 years.
One Saturday night my plans with a friend fell through but I was already all dressed up and ready to go somewhere. I posted something on facebook about how it was too nice a night to waste and soliciting things to do. Not 10 minutes later I get a message from him saying, "You should come to a bonfire at my place." I thought, what the hell, and went. It turns out no one that was supposed to come showed up, so it ended up being me and him. We talked the whole night and kept finding reasons to get a hold of one another after, even though neither of us "wanted a relationship." It ended up turning into a real relationship and we'll be celebrating our one year wedding anniversary in just over a week.
My husband and I met at the end of college. We had a number of classes together but didn't ever talk to each other. I am pretty shy when it comes to men and dating and he had a gf at the time. He eventually started talking to me and I (being kind of dumb and naive) had no idea he was into me. I thought he was just a nice cute guy. When he and his gf broke up he asked me out (I still didn't get it, ha ha). It was a bit of a rough start, but eventually, after a few months of asking me out, I finally said yes (I was totally freaked out about dating). We have now been together almost 6 years and our 4th anniversary is coming up in August. This is baby number one. He's the first (and last!) guy I dated. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I actually used to date my fiance's old roommate for a few months, and we realized we had nothing in common with each other. So while breaking it off with him my fiancé was messaging me trying to get me to hang out lol! It seemed bad at the time when we first started seeing each other, but we did have a lot more in common than his roommate and I, and we definitely didn't start anything while I was with his roommate. But it eventually ended up with his roommate catching me sneaking out of their house at 6am, and eventually moving in with them. Luckily the roommate moved out 6 months later, and we could be pretty friendly with each other while still living together. Fiancé doesn't like to think or talk about him though lol!
We were both on a project together at work, he was the site manager of the contractor the company I worked for was using and I was the liaison officer. He had a girlfriend, I had (an asshole of a) boyfriend at the time. Always got on like a house on fire and I used to think 'I need to be with someone like you!' I split with my boyfriend, he split with his girlfriend a few months after. We got close. A year little, bam I'm knocked up and we haven't been this happy!! I'm a firm believer time isn't a measurement of love, heck we didn't mess around!
My husband and I met on a double date...where we were each with someone else. Luckily, neither of our actual dates worked out (my date turned out to be a racist pig, and his was just plain crazy). We became Facebook friends, and started playing FB Scrabble during class (we went to the same grad school). We started studying together at a 24 hr Starbucks, which led to meals together, which somehow morphed into officially dating

Such a great thread! So many lovebirds on here :x My boyfriend and I met through a mutual friend at a hangout when we were 18, summer of 2008. I couldn't keep my eyes off him, I thought he was very interesting and attractive. One of those quiet guys that didn't interact much. A few days later, being the creeper that I am, I found him on MySpace and messaged him "Hey, remember me?" To which he replied, "no..., should I?" What a jerk lol. We messaged for a few weeks and our first hangout was going to the movies to watch Pineapple Express! He says he was intimidated by me because I was a bit older and a freshman in college (him being a senior in HS) but I was very persistent and wouldn't let it go. We've been together ever since, seven years and welcoming our first baby! I love Love!
I cut my husbands hair for two years before I gave him a shot. I just didn't have any interest and he was seeing someone when we met. Anyway, our talks started becoming more interesting throughout the two years and I finally agreed to go out with him! We went on our first date and have been in love ever since. We just had fun together and the first date wasn't the "typical getting to know you chat" because we had talked about all that while he was in my chair!
We met in college at a mutual friend's place. I ran out of beer, thought he was cute, stole his beer, and the rest is history. Together 10 years, married last November.
I went in to fill out a job application at a country club where he was a bar tender. I got the job, and 10 years later the perfect proposal and dream wedding on my parents farm, and (almost) two beautiful babies! I'm gona go cry happy tears now
Aww. All of your stories make me jealous. I met my husband at work. We both worked at Sam's Club.
Our first date was a few hours before his 23rd birthday party. Date was awesome, then his friends got him hammered at his party. I drove him and I back to my car (still at the movie theater where the date started). We got in my car. He passed out, but not before puking his guts out. I didn't want to leave him there at the theater while he was drunk. I didn't know any of his friends or family and I didn't have a clue where he lived. I let him sleep it off in my car all night. At 7am, he finally wakes up. I take him to get some gum and a bottle of water, as his mouth probably tasted icky after being sick.
I gave him the opportunity the next weekend to make it up to me. He's actually been making up for it for the last nine years. lol
My husband answered an ad I posted on Craigslist, we chatted and talked on the phone for a while before we decided to go on our first date. We decided on a typical dinner and a movie date. He was suggesting different movies via text message, but I told him "I kind of want to see Inglorious Basterds." He text me back saying he loved me (before we even met in person). We went to Chili's for dinner, and I'm such a shy person that I hardly looked at him and didn't speak very much. He thought I didn't like him. We went to the movie, he put his hand on my thigh, then promptly took it off. I grabbed his hand and put it back on my thigh. After the movie, I kissed him in the parking lot, I guess my actions speak louder than words because we've been together ever since. We will be together for six years, married for four, this August. I also knew he was the one because my mom approved, lol.
started to talk to my husband online, 4 days later met him in person, 10 days later asked him to be my boyfriend, 3 days later he told me he loved me, 6 months later we were engaged, 6 1/2 months later found out I was pregnant. Have been together for 2 years and 3 months, married for 1 year 8 months, have one son, another son due in November.
Everyone says "well that was fast" but when you know, you know. He's the love of my life. We have ups and downs but we work on it.
My story is not as magical and exciting as all of yours are. We met on the boardwalk 12 years ago. I never believed in love at first sight until the moment I saw him. We spent hours talking that night. When DS was almost 2 we split for a while because we had some issues. Last year I realized that I am still very much in love with him. I always have been since that night we met. He tried to get back together the whole time we were apart so he feels the same. I can't imagine having a family with anyone else.
@mcandice16 .. Yes! When you know, that's all there is.
The night I met my husband I was out with my girls at a local bar, The Brown Derby. He was also there with some mutual friends and we were all introduced .. I Was instantly taken.. And about one minute later, he introduced me to his wife. OUCH. So, that was that.
A few months later we ran into each other again. This time him and his wife were separated and divorce was pending. We kept in touch over the summer and once he was a free man, IT WAS ON!
We started dating in September 2013, 9 months after we had first met. Moved in the following May, married September 20, 2014. It was fast and lovely and a million other wonderful things. It's not the perfect story, but it's our story, and I love it!
At our high school, we had an English teacher that took in the odd balls and every summer would invite the students who found a safe haven in his room to his home for a cookout/reunion. I went the summer I graduated ('09) and met my DH there. We were inseparable from there on out, and I wouldn't have it any other way, 6 years together...wonderful, hectic, beautiful years together.
I was singing and dancing in the forest while my animal friends gazed upon lovingly and then there he was! We began dancing and singing in perfect harmony and fell in love instantly. Oh wait that's Sleeping Beauty.
We met the first night I moved to my college town. I met up with an old friend and met Brandon. We were beer pong partners that night (and kicked butt too!) Then the next day we noticed each other in our summer school Chem II class and sat together. We were also in the same lab and became lab partners too. Come to find out at the end of the course, he was in the wrong lab section the whole time lol. I guess it was fate! We have been together almost 9 years and married for nearly 3.
Re: (just 4 fun) How did you and your SO meet?
We were a team who frequently worked alone together but it took him 2 years to ask me out.
I was always dating other people. But we knew that we made a really good team, better than the others we worked with. We had chemistry from the very beginning.
We started dating and moved in together with in 2 months. That was 8 years ago.
6 months into dating I got a job in another state and he immediately quit his and came with me.
We will be married 6 years in September.
We now work for he competition in our area and our bosses are always trying to recruit the other so we can work together. But we like keeping work/life separate now.

It's still strictly platonic at this point, but Mike's Hard Lemonade and a toga party in the staff parking lot one night soon saw to that...
He was meant to be my summer fling, but I wound up pregnant with kiddo1.0 and we did the long-distance off-and-on thing for a couple of years until DS was 2. I got an email from my camp boss one day that literally said "one of my staff just quit, get on a plane I need you" . She meant it jokingly, but I was actually in a position to do it.
