DH and I met through my sister she had been talking to him on the phone but never met him. So she brought me with her when she meet him, once they met they realized didn`t really like each other. We ending up running into each other and talking. He eventually asked me out on a date but I let him know I wanted to make sure she it was ok with it because it was a weird situation and I really like him but didn`t want to hurt her, she didn`t care because was already dating someone new. Monday will be our 15 year anniversary
My H was my personal trainer. I had actually asked my good friends H, but he didn't have room for new clients. He said he could recommend another trainer who he said was great. So he set me up with H who I immediately thought was hot but would never go there. He had recently relocated from a big city to be closer to his dd (him and baby mama never married- they more had just been hooking up)which I thought was such big move for a young guy.
We had been training for a few months and became good friends. Other trainers started asking if we were "training on the side" haha. One night he text me and asked if I'd be interested in inviting some of my friends to meet him and some friends at a concert. We couldn't get our shit together and never made it out. He text me after the show and I met up with all of them for some drinks. We ended up hooking up and we're together soon after.
So DH and I met online before dating sites were even a thing. We met in a chat room, an MSN general chat in 2001 when we were 13 & 14. He typed a joke he made up in the chat room and I thought it was funny so I PMed him. I have journal entries from 2001 about my DH and how smitten I was with him even from chatting online. I actually wrote how I thought he was different, a really good guy, and in 2002 I wrote that I'd marry him one day.
We went to chatting on AIM, to sending each other snail mail letters and birthday packages, to finally chatting on the phone for years. DH was so incredibly shy back then and it took him forever to agree to talk to me on the phone. We sent each other pictures and would stay up until the wee hours talking on the phone and then get up 3 hours later to go to high school.
After I graduated high school, I took a guy friend with me to go meet him in person for the first time at age 18. We drove up to Canada, where DH is from, and spent the week there. I met his friends and family and just knew.
He moved to the states after graduating college and we got married a year later. We are finally at a point where we've been local longer than we were long distance!
@lund I'm also the one night stand that worked! The sushi restaurant I had frequented multiple times weekly for 2 years 1.5 blocks from my condo, right when I stopped going is when he started working there (I bought a condo in the building and the mortgage kicked my ass, no more fun sushi dinners!). 2 years later, I was able go to have dinner one night at the bar and lo and behold, took home the bartender. So cliche! Ha ha! To this day, however, DH does not know I also went that night to do a little harmless flirting with one of the waiters I had spied through the window. Whoops! (turns out he was a butt anyway)
I met my DH at 4am on a bus to the Red Sea on a scuba diving trip that a mutual friend had arranged. I was dating another guy at the time, but DH kept hitting on me. Fast forward a year later, after meeting casually throughout the year at dinners and parties, we ended up at another friends birthday party. We were finally both single at the same time and hit it off again. He asked for my number and was pretty persistent in the weeks that followed to see me as often as possible. We ended up moving in together after just a few weeks. Stayed together through the Arab Spring, got engaged along the Nile a year later, and eloped a year later by the Pacific Ocean. We are celebrating 5 years of marriage this year. Time flies.
I love all these love stories, but mine is still my favorite.
I haven't posted much on here yet, still kind of a lurker (in case you don't recognize my username!)
My DH a day I met at a mutual friends (him being friends with the older brother, me the younger sister) game night. I was actually there to try and get my ex boyfriend back. We sat at the table together and started playing catch phrase and making fun of each other. We immediately hit it off. After the game night I Facebook stalked him and finally got up the courage to send him a message. We started talking and decided to go on a date. We dated for the summer and then he had to go back to college in Mississippi and I was starting college in Tampa FL (I had just graduated high school.) We dated long distance and at our 6 month dating anniversary we got engaged. 9 months later we were married (I was 19). People thought we were completely crazy. But almost 7 years later I couldn't be happier.
The funniest part is that our parents had known each other for years, and we were actually in church nursery together for a little while growing up. It truly is a small world!
DH and I met at church! Actually it was 7 years ago on Easter Sunday, I felt someone staring at me through the windows by the doors and then he looked away real quick. Coincidentally my family sat behind him that day (this was the church I always went to and he was visiting his dad and went along). About a week later his step mom and my mom were coordinating a women's event for church and he volunteered to cook for it. He was done and about to leave but he heard my mom say I was coming and stuck around. He was very nervous and barely said a word to me but did ask me for my phone number. Went out on a date a week later and the rest is history. It's so cool because at the time I was praying to get the strength to leave my relationship with my crappy boyfriend and I prayed that if he wasn't the one that God would open another door for me, and that's when I met DH at church that Sunday. We even gave a testimony in church 2 years after we got married about how God brought us together. Its crazy bevause I had classes with his stepsister in college (unknowingly) but it was like God didn't bring us together until He knew we were both ready for each other
DH and I went to the same high school but never spoke because he was in the grade below me and we had completely different groups of friends (I was a musical theater nerd and he was a bit of a bad boy). The summer after my first year of college I got a job at a supermarket where he also worked. We were both 18 and he had just graduated high school. One of my first days there he came in to relieve me from my register and immediately started flirting with me. I had just broken up with my high school boyfriend and was having fun being single, plus I was going back to school in the fall (4 hours away) so I didn't want to start anything. He was persistent and we ended up becoming good friends, then friends with benefits, until August when he officially asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. I went back to school the next month while he started at community college back home and we did the long distance thing for one semester until I decided it was too hard and transferred to a college close to home so I didn't have to dorm and could see him all the time. Five years later he proposed and less than a year after that we got married. We're celebrating our five year wedding anniversary this year and our eleven year dating anniversary!

I put myself in the "other" category because DH and I had a ridiculous start to our relationship. We went to a very small college and bother played sports (him soccer, me lacrosse) we often worked out at the same time and I often would share the field with him on Sundays mornings early (we are still those weirdos at the gym super early on weekends so, we are now less hungover). We never talked though until one night when we were at karaoke night (I love to sing and he liked dollar beers) it was after a presentation against alcohol for all the athletes at the school so we were all laughing about the fact a ton of us were at the bar. I used that to introduce myself and he said "I know, you are my gym friend." We hung out all night, danced and sang with friends. We were each in relationships-ish so nothing ever happened but we fell into a routine of gym (where we would acknowledge each other but not talk) thursday karaoke, then chatting Thursday nights on aim. Fast forward 2 years, we are graduated, and I saw him on facebook. I invited him out to a thing my friends were going to but he cancelled last minute and said we should do the week after and do dinner. I was ambivalent (he cancelled last minute!) But in a dry spell so I said ok. He had a ripped up hand and bruised eye on our date which he said was from soccer. I later found out his cousin got into a fight the night before I was supposed to see him (and he got involved) so he pushed it back. We still joke his cousin almost caused us to miss each other. That was 8 1/2 years ago and we have been married for 3!

The first time I met H was at a piano bar at Disney. I was dating my ex & he was dating my bff at the time ( she was my MOH and now my ex-bff). Anyways she was a serial dater so I didn't pay much attention to him.
Fast forward somewhere between a year & 6 months later (H & I are sitting here trying to figure it out lol) I had broken up with my ex and I was at a pool hall with my bff, her friend, and her friend's fiancé. I was complaining about boys and that there were no good single guys. They all said I should meet the fiance's twin brother. But I knew he had a reputation so I said okay, planning on it just being a summer fling because i'm normally a goody-goody and I like the good guys. So they set it up for us all to meet at the piano bar at Disney. He didn't pay much attention to me. But then I went to the guys basketball game where we talked briefly & then a sports bar where we talked briefly again. I was going a cruise that weekend so he asked me on a date for the following weekend. But while I was on the cruise, he left a message that he'd been thinking of me and wanted to know if I wanted to go to a movie the night I got back. The rest is history! (It took a while for me to realize that I had met him at the piano bar on the past but he said that he had noticed me & thought I was cute. I like to tease him about that)
