OP doesn't want to be the drunk in the group today. Glad to see others are picking up the slack!
I met my husband at a bar. I was capital-D drunk and used all of my womanly powers to draw his attention to my cleavage.
He really is so lucky to have me
I changed my mind. I am actually on my way to meet a friend for some much needed alcohol
(I am also on a Tamra Barney kick today it seems!)
We were introduced thru friends. We talked and hung out with friends for about 2 months. I finally gave in and slept with him and then be booty called me the next night!! I told him that I actually liked him and didn't want to be friends with benefits. Been together ever since. :-)
34 Mother of 4 year old and 2 Labs. Happily Married to my Hubs of 6 years.
We met in high school. We were 15, I had met his brother the year prior but didn't meet him till we were in the same English class sat by last name. He sat behind me and his brother behind him. We were fast friends and super close by senior year. I even drove them to and from school so they didn't have to ride the bus. Many fun times.
We didn't start dating until 3 years ago though (13 years after high school). But had stayed in touch throughout the years. It was like we were always meant to be, just had to figure it out.
If it makes you feel better, we met on MySpace. Do you guys remember Myspace? It seems to lame to say that now. I had just moved to a new city and knew no one. He offered to meet me for coffee before I was brave enough to go to his apartment for a party to play beer pong (really romantic). We ended up hitting it off and then our first real date was at a dance club where we just happened to run into 2 of his friends and their wives, so we had a group first date.
So cool to see all the other couples that ended up meeting online. I certainly wasn't expecting it, but I met my husband on OkCupid.com. We spoke on and off for several months, and since he didn't bring up meeting, I thought he wasn't interested. We had a random in-depth conversation at one point and wondered why we hadn't tried to meet yet. Shortly later, we met up at a bar with friends and hit it off from there!
DH and I met when we were both in HS. An old friend of mine was dating his best friend at the time. We all went out to eat at Denny's and then after everyone went back to my house to chill. We exchanged numbers, talked every day, then a week later we met up and he asked me out. We were together almost 10 years before we finally got married...
Side story... That same best friend of his is now his step brother in law. He and my step sister eventually got together and they now have 2 kids. So they're now 'technically' related.
My now husbands girlfriend at the time was cheating on him with my boyfriend at the time. Yup. Riddle me that! Both long term relationships. We ran into each other and one of his friends recognized me and told him who I was. They then informed me about my cheating boyfriend. Three months later we ran into each other again at a bar and started dating. The rest is history!
We met in the 10th grade, he sat behind me in math class and would copy my homework when we would pass it back for corrections. We lived like a block from each other and had apparently been riding the bus to school together for years but I never noticed him. One day a mutual friend sent him to pick me up from my house to take me to a house party and the rest is history!
We've been together just about 15 years and married for 8 years at the end of next month!
DH and I met in 8th grade but started dating in 9th.I had some issues at home with my mother and so his mom said I could stay with them and I ended up getting pregnant a couple months after that at 16.We have been together for 13 years now though.
TTC #2
What i'm trying: Seed Cycling,Fertility Friend,&Charting.
DH and I have known each other since we were in diapers. His dad played little league baseball with my uncle and they are still best friends. Our families have always been friends. We grew up and went on our own path. His dad claims he always tried to set us up in high school. whatever.lol I got married and had a couple kids and that relationship didn't work out. It was after I had separated from my ex (Christmas time) that I was on Instagram and saw he (DH) had posted a picture of himself in an ugly sweater going to an ugly sweater party. I commented on how hunky his sweater looked on him..NOT! Lol It broke the ice since DH is so shy he probably would have never made that first move of contact.The rest is history, we've been together just over 2 years and were just married in June.
I was dating this really really nice kind-hearted guy off and on in college. Senior year I was together with that guy and thought for sure that this was it. Well then I went home over Christmas break and happened to see this guy working at a music store who I knew from middle/high school and I was like "daaaang. he looks so much cuter these days..." Then he recognized me too and asked if I wanted to hang out for coffee and just catch up so I did.
I let the cute guy know that I had a BF and went back to college and kept dating the nice guy until I graduated. Then the plan was supposed to be that I stayed in the area around my college because nice guy had one year left to go. The plans fell through so I wound up back home again and could not stay away from the cute guy. I hung out with the cute guy and a few other old friends for a while and realized I had a huge crush on cute guy and he was pretty clearly into me too.
I kind of agonized for a couple days and then called up the nice guy and broke up with him and told the cute guy that I wanted to be with him. We got engaged within a couple months of officially getting together and got married just over a year after getting together.
I do feel bad though that it took the nice guy a few years to get over the breakup. The happily ever after is that nice guy is now happily married to a nice girl. Phew!
We met online on How About We. Funny thing is, once we got to talking, we found out that he went to college with my brother and we knew a lot of the same people.
We went to a record store, a burger joint, and Half Price Books on our first date (pretty lengthy one!) We clicked pretty much instantly. Less than 6 months later, we were engaged, 7 months after that, we were married. When you know, you know
@lalala2004, your story sounds similar to mine and it's great to meet another couple like us! DH and I will be celebrating one year of knowing each other on August 27th. We were engaged Nov. 18th, married May 19th and here we are, completely content. We both come from families with the 'when you know, you know' mentality and I wouldn't have it any other way.

My H and I met in college, although we actually went to jr high and high school together. He was much cooler than me in high school and didn't even know who I was, meanwhile I knew him as the jerk that took up two parking spots in the school parking lot. My freshman (his sophomore) year of college we met at a mutual friends party. I don't really remember much about meeting him (thanks alcohol) other than he was pretty quiet. He added me on Facebook but that was the end of that. Fast forward to the summer after my freshman year and I had to have hip surgery. Turns out, he had ACL surgery on the same day! As I'm stuck at home recuperating I get a Facebook message from him. He was just as bored as I was! We messaged back and fourth and since I was cleared to drive sooner than him (still on crutches though) I drove to pick him up for our first date. We drove out to the lake by his house and crutched around to enjoy the sunset. Four years of dating and one year of marriage down!
DH and I actually went to the same high school, but he was a senior when I was a freshman, so we never met. We met at party when I was a sophomore and he had just graduated. We were actually hanging out in the driveway while a two people were riding a random bicycle around the cul de sac (weird drunk high schoolers, lol). Well, the bike didn't have any brakes, so when it started spewing up the driveway right toward me, DH actually dove and tackled me to the ground out of the way of the bike! It felt like an action movie, lol. For the rest of the night I went around telling everyone how my new friend had saved my life!
We didn't speak again for about a year, then I get hired at the Jimmy John's where he was a shift manager. We were both dating other people at the time, but eventually got to know each other really well as friends. Our first date was supposed to be a groups trip to this amusement park, but everybody bailed so we went just the two of us! Now, we've been together for four years, and just got married this past June. He is the most amazing man:)
DH and I met in a college math class. We were always the first people to arrive for the class so we were basically forced to start some conversation, but it didnt hurt that I thought he was cute. After class, we would walk to our cars and talk for like an hour everyday.I even made him miss his next class on Fridays ( oops lol). Our first date was at a Mexican restaurant and then we went to the movies and saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre- real romantic I know but it was right before Halloween and that was the only thing out. We've been together almost 9 years and our 2 yr. wedding anniversary is Aug. 31.
Thanks for the anniversary wishes! We had a lovely night interrupted when my parents invited themselves over and ate part of our dinner. Whomp Whomp...
DH and I met on OkCupid...I was at my Annual Training for the National Guard June of 2013...I was actually sitting next to my ex and using his wifi when I got the first message from DH. We exchanged messages, texts, and Facebook messages for 3 months because the I wasn't quite over my ex yet, and he kept yo-yoing me around...The ex's sister found out that he was seeing someone else and she let me know (we are very close)...So I waited a month after I finally made the clean break from douche and finally made a date with DH in September of that year...8 months later (May 2014), I moved in when I took a job closer to him (we lived an hour away). We knew we wanted to be together not matter what, and we eloped 3 weeks before our first anniversary of dating...We are about to celebrate our first wedding anniversary on September 5th...True love is True and you know it when you know it!
DH and I met 7 1/2 years ago through a mutual friend. We became friends, because I was already seeing someone, but that fizzled after a while. It took four months of not-so-subtle flirting before he finally asked me out. He told me afterwards that he just did not clue in at all lol. We just got married two weeks ago
I went to cosmetology school my Junior and Senior year of High School part time. People could come in and get cheap haircuts from supervised students. I was 18 at the time, and I was praying the client that was assigned to me was the little kid picking his nose in the waiting area. Nope, it was the hot guy who was staring me down as I approached. *Gulp* Politely but nervously I made conversation while I washed and cut his hair. I mean this guys was HOT, I'm thankful I didn't stutter or drop my comb.
A men's haircut typically takes 15-20 minutes, but the clock slowly ticked by. He was super nice and I thought I kept mucking up his haircut because he kept asking for more to be taken off. After 45 minutes and "taking more off", he thanked me and left. All of my friends began clucking and gathering around me saying he was going to ask me out. I was inwardly thrilled and hoped he would. After paying for his haircut, he left. I felt kind of disappointed but shrugged it off.
When it came time to go home, I walked to my friends car since she drove that day. A lot of the students drove the same route home, so when we saw our friends car chasing us down through rush hour traffic, one of them was holding a piece of paper out the window and waving wildly. They were blowing red lights and swerving like mad, we thought something was wrong. They finally caught up to us at a red light and excitedly shouted "He left a note! He left a note!" My DH had left a note on the car he thought was mine. It has said that he really enjoyed talking to me about Jeeps, poetry and music. Oh, and would you go out with me?
DH and I met on a blind date set up by my girlfriend now sister in law! That was almost 13 years ago and we just celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary last month! I knew he was the one after 2 months of dating and he says he knew 6 months in when he first told me he loves me. @yogahh both my husband and I were born, raised and still residing in WI #PackerNation! I remembering winning that super bowl! Lol
We were set up on a blind date by my coworker (who was dating my SOs coworker at the time). She told me there was only a 6 year age difference. We went on the date only to find out that there was a FOURTEEN year age difference!! But, we've been inseparable since
I was a student teacher at his school and we ate lunch together everyday with the same group. We had a lot of snow one morning so they called off school. We chatted on Facebook all morning till he finally asked me to go get coffee (the snow had melted by then) and we talked for four hours straight then I came home and my roommate asked how it went and I said it was perfect and I was going to marry him. We have been together almost 7 years and been married for 3.5 years. He still makes me laugh almost daily! :x
@hunnybunny17- my DH and I met 3 weeks after his Dad passed. I never really thought it would end in marriage but I knew there was something about him. But it was such a difficult time for him, I figured it would never pan out to anything serious.
A girl friend I was living with at the time told me off and on about this friend of her ex's that was so funny and she thought we would totally hit it off. I was dating my crazy ex and never quite ready to end things with him. So one day my friend told me she had reached out to this guy and they ended up coming up to see me at work. I was bartending @ a Chili's restaurant. The two of them ended up going back to DH's house to hang out and I joined them when i got off of work. The next day, DH's family was having a big memorial party for his dad and he invited both my friend and I to come to the party. We went and I ended up spending the night with DH that night. The next day I left and we didn't exchange #'s or anything so I was torn all day. Well I was minding my own business @ work and who should walk in the door but DH. He had been over at his dad's helping clean up and stopped by because it was in the area. He drew a Superman symbol on a piece of paper with crayons and said S is for Shayne and put his # on it too. And that was that. We've been together for 8 years, married for almost 2 of those
Myspace. He saw my picture on a mutual friends page and messaged me. I just got out of a horrible long term relationship and didn't want to be bothered with men, but agreed to go on a date with him after a few phone calls. 11 years later and going strong.
I was hosting an event at the local queer leather bar. She showed up with a friend. I felt cute, so I hit on her.
(I'd never actually picked up anyone at a bar before.)
Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
TTC with frozen donor sperm and science
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs. 2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs. Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire. Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus! fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
I met my husband when we were stationed in Germany. We were in a group together during our initial in-processing into base. It was a three week class called "FTAC" that we had to go through because we were new to the military. We had one briefing where they served snacks, and I overheard him saying that Oreo's were disgusting. That's what caught my attention because I so badly wanted to argue with him. I didn't really talk to him though until he asked the group one time what their favorite Disney movie was. He was trying to be funny, and fill the silence, but I loved that he loved Disney, and that he was outgoing. He also had the biggest biceps I had ever seen, and they were covered in tattoos....but I was in a relationship at the time.
For the whole three weeks we flirted, and got to know each other while doing base cleanup (ie: picking up trash/painting crap). When the FTAC class was finally over he said, "Call me when you find out your boyfriend's an asshole." He was right...said boyfriend was an asshole. Six months later our paths crossed again, and I was single. He asked me out three days before Christmas. We were engaged by June of the following year, and married on the 28th of August almost 8 years ago today in a tiny German courthouse.
