How did you meet your boyfriend/husband?

AngelFire_3_14156 · 2019-09-11T04:28:05+00:00

At a church picnic that my sister and her husband dragged me to. I didn't really want to go, but they talked me into it.

I was standing in line to get a drink, and this cute guy and I started talking. We sat down together and a couple of hours later exchanged contact info. A week later we met for coffee. He had this habit of opening the door for me which I found cute and charming. Anyway, we started dating after that.

One thing lead to another, and we've been married for 4 years, have 2 kids, a nice house, etc.

Life is good!

On a website for MBTI personality types. I wanted to know what it was like talking to a male version of my 'type' but couldn't find any in my country on there. His profile popped up a few times so I sent him a message. We had very intense debates through email exchange (2+ hours spent per mail) that lasted two weeks. Seemingly disagreed on everything from feminism to religion to core morality. One day I figured a video call was a quicker way of sparring, he agreed. I can't describe what happened the moment we first saw each other. On the second video call he made clear he wanted me for the long run on the condition I'd drop my promiscuous behaviour (I was tangled up in a triangle relation with two close friends, not the wisest choice ever). I took a leap of faith/followed my intuition, never regretted it. Our understanding and love of each other keeps growing. He's been my greatest support and joy. We're getting married this Saturday.

Online dating. He messaged once and I apparently ignored him. I never remembered, but I'm guessing I was talking to someone else. I messaged him about six months later. We talked for less than a week, realized we had the fundamentals in common, and met in person.

Of all places I did not think I'd find love on /r9k/ but it happens.

A networking event/party for our professional industry. Turns out we were in the same extended social circle but hadn't properly met yet.

He zeroed in on me at the bar and started chatting, we ended up talking all night. He took me out for dinner the next night, and we were a couple shortly after that. He pursued me pretty hard.

At home, my brother invited him. I'm not sure who showed interest first. It was very gradual.

ETA: Yes, mine literally just walked in one day.

On Reddit! Haha seriously!

bennettvictoriarose · 2019-09-11T00:58:09+00:00

i met him on discord. he showed interest first, then we met up 8 months into our relationship. best week of my life.

OKCupid.

He liked me first, we started a conversation that fizzled out because I was apathetic about online dating and didn’t respond to messages regularly.

When I returned to the app, I noticed he had either blocked me or deactivated his account. I assumed he blocked me to declutter his inbox since I stopped responding. I remember thinking, “That guy really seemed like he had potential. I should have gone on a date with him.”

Vowing to learn from this experience, I made a new account with a fresh profile and pictures.

We re-matched a few months later.

Within a few days of texting he mentioned having an ongoing fling with another girl (plate). I said “Oh, that’s disappointing! I’m only looking to date people who are not sexually involved with anyone else currently. Let me know if you’re ever free!”

He says this made him evaluate the situation and realize there was no real potential in the other girl. He dropped her and asked me on a date ~2 months later. Then we were exclusive, then we dated, now we’re married. :)

We met in our first year university English class. I saw him at the front of the room (he has poor eyesight and wasn’t wearing glasses at the time) so I scooted my way up to the front row too. I put myself in his line of sight and let him say hi first. Then he bought me timbits and we went from there.

I knew we were in it for the long haul when after 3 months of dating he grabbed my hand and said, “three months is almost six months and six months is almost a year!” This is a man who remains calm, cool, and collected nearly all the time but he let his excitement out there.

We’ve been together for 12 years and married for 8.

A blind date through a mutual friend. I instantly fell for him. He says it took him about ten minutes. I can't remember who actually expressed interest first, but he did initiate the first kiss (the same night), so it's been mutual since pretty much the very beginning.

We actually had that friend marry us, which was a nice "full circle" feeling.

Blind date set up my a mutual friend

Tinder! I was pretty fresh out of a 4 year relationship, only using the app to get my feet on the ground when it came to conversation with men. He had JUST moved to my city maybe a week before we matched, so neither of us intended on finding actual relationships on the app. At least not quickly. I vividly remember almost not swiping on him because his bio was a bunch of weird quotes. Crazy to think I remember hesitating on his profile! We never would’ve met then.

Anyway, conversation came easy, we had a lot in common, and he and I talked on tinder for 3 days before he asked if I was interested in a first date. We’ve been together over 9 months now

vettech87 · 2019-09-12T02:26:52+00:00

Plenty of Fish because I was too cheap to pay for a dating service 🙃

Also I had just recently moved to a large city, didn't know anyone, and didn't want to go around bar-hopping (especially alone).

We've been together for 9 years, and married for 5 of them.

Edit: I messaged him first! I thought he was cute and liked that he likes cats

HB3234 · 2019-09-14T03:19:05+00:00

We met in the wilderness on a long trail. I was spooked by an animal and perched on a rock when he found me. 500 miles later, we decided to call that our first date. 4,500 miles later, we are engaged!

durtyknees · 2019-09-11T02:20:53+00:00

School, but it's complicated because I stalked him (no bunnies were boiled) and played the long game.

At an IPA tasting festival 💕

PreciousMuffn · 2019-09-11T02:25:18+00:00

We reconnected through online dating after a 3.5 year gap of not running into each other. He used to date a former family member of mine for a couple of years and I found him the same night I signed up, he friended me on Facebook the next day, that evening we met for dinner to catch up, and nearly two years later we’ve just gotten engaged!

Anonymous_fiend · 2019-09-11T03:20:12+00:00

I worked at his friends restaurant as a waitress. His family has their business meeting there so I was familiar with his whole family before I met him funny enough. He fell in love at first sight but was too afraid to ask me out at first. He kept coming back to talk to me until he gave me his number and asked if I wanted to go bowling with him. I didn’t view him as a potential partner at first bc I was too out of his league and initially friend zoned him. But before our date he cut his way too long beard, got a haircut and dressed normal which made me realize he had potential especially after getting to know him.

LLForbie · 2019-09-11T03:41:39+00:00

Through my ex. Best thing to come out of that situation. My ex treated us both poorly and after I broke up with him the hubs inboxed me to check if i was ok (he wasn't trying to slide in or make a move, he's just a genuinely nice person) we became best friends pretty quickly and about six months we realised we had feelings.

Nearly six years later and with neither of us acknowledging him the ex still talks shit and had my guy kicked out of a game store 🙄

DeannaDoesDallas · 2019-09-14T20:25:54+00:00

Polo match. He was a player. I was into a lot of men, but he pursued me. The way it should be.

Cynthia_L · 2019-09-11T02:03:40+00:00

I met my husband at a sorority sister’s birthday party.

mybrownsweater · 2019-09-11T05:35:08+00:00

At work

[deleted] · 2019-09-11T06:08:17+00:00

We both worked in a bar together.

melitele3 · 2019-09-11T09:59:44+00:00

Online :)

Haelester · 2019-09-11T11:13:10+00:00

College party, it was my first and last I ever went to. We danced together and I fell in love directly. We married 7 years later and are in the second year of our marriage.

healthyelegant · 2019-09-11T14:33:13+00:00

We technically met in 8th grade at our weekly church class. We started talking/flirting on the night of my high school graduation/the day after his graduation at a friends grad party. He showed interest first because I was thinking I would be single that summer and just have fun. He messaged me on Facebook the next day and the rest is history. Together 7 years and married almost 1 year now.

masterofthebarkarts · 2019-09-12T14:57:38+00:00

13 years ago at a mutual hobby. We were friendly acquaintances. I got a weird vibe from him because he was a little neckbeardy at the time, but he's gotten better :D reconnected 4 years ago. Went on a couple dates, ended things, dated a really pathetic dude, reconnected with my man, started dating seriously. Moved in together after 1 year. Bought a house/got engaged 11 months after that. Married 3 months and I can't believe how lucky I got.

chante___ · 2019-09-20T12:26:52+00:00

High school. We had mutual friends. It’s 11 years later and we have two kids.

[deleted] · 2019-09-11T02:41:08+00:00

Through social circles last year she’s 19 I’m 21 (she was 18 and I 20 when we got together). Wonderful relationship
