I'm not sure if this happens in other parts of the country, but in NJ groups of friends often get together and rent houses down the shore for the summer. Each summer they recruit new people to replace anyone who dropped out.
In March 2006 I answered an ad for a group looking for a few shares for their house, I met up with the group and instantly clicked with them (I consider a few of them my closest friends now!). I met DH on that occasion and I remember liking him but not "that way". Obviously I joined the house. DH and I became good friends and started dating at the end of the second summer.
2008 was our last summer in the house, but we're actually going back to that beach town this weekend to relive some good times!
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
I was in a 6 year relationship...and kyle was single for almost 2 years and loosing hope.
I decided to go out with friends one night after my ex ditched me again to go out with his. I didnt know kyle , but we both have mutual friends.
Kyle was there! I was still "taken" ...so I just used him as eye candy and for good conversations.
we hung out in groups (out at the bars) for the next 3 nights. I broke up with my ex that 2nd night.
Kyle and I have been inseperatable ever since.
Cut and pasted from my Weebly site:
One Saturday in October Laurie's mom was invited to a birthday party up in CT for a very good family friend. Her dad was traveling so Laurie agreed to accompany her mom to this party. When she got there the daughters (Amanda, Kristen and her husband Zac) of the birthday boy (Uncle Stu) were setting up a game of Badminton. Laurie was game to play and met Jon who was also playing. Girls vs Boys and clearly the girls kicked butt! They had a lovely day and Laurie and her mom headed back to Jersey. A few months later a call came from Kristen "Hey Laurie, Zac and I are going to be in the city visiting Jon. Do you remember him from dad's birthday. Well we are all going out to dinner and he asked about you and wants you to join us" So of course Laurie said yes. What else can you say when put on the spot? Off to dinner they went and it was a great time! Laurie and Jon decided to get together again on their own. After about 3 or 4 months of dating Laurie said "It was so nice of you to ask Kristen about me and invite me out to dinner" to which Jon replied, "I didn't ask her about you. YOU asked her about me." Clearly we had been played against each other and four+ years later couldn't be happier!
Cute Version: He's my best guy's friends brother, and we all went to college together. Although Nick is 2 years older, he graduated the same year as us because of pharmacy school. We ran into each other through mutual groups of friends spring of 2007, my junior year. He called and asked me on a date, April 17th. Three years to the day, we got married!
Inappropriate, But True Version: I had just been broken up with and cheated on by my previous bf of 4 years, aka my ex-HS sweetheart. To say it, things endly horribly and I was obliterated every night because I was so upset. My friends, including Nick's bro/my best guy friend, decided enough was enough, and we were going out to have fun. It was Friday the 13th (April 13th) and NO ONE was at the bar. Except the other group of mutual friends that included Nick. Nick had just broken off his engagement with his long time gf and was also in the same state I was, obliterated. So after his bro and him decided to do the "sandwhich" with me on the dance floor, his bro left, and Nick stayed. We were the only ones on the dance floor. Making out. For hours. All of our friends thought this hilarious, esp. since I have NEVER been that girl... But long story short I met my DH on a night I can't remember... And since our date mentioned above, we've been inseparable.

I met my DH thru my now sister-in-law. She worked with him at the time. She called me up one night and was like "Are you still looking for a boyfriend?" to which I responded "I wasn't sure really looking, but who do ya got?". And to which she called DH and asked him the same thing and his response was just the same as mine. Though I wouldn't admit then, but do now, I had already checked the "hot guy" that was on her Myspace friends list. We exchanged messages back and forth on there for a couple weeks. Then after those couple of weeks, we finally went out on a double date with my brother and his wife (it was his gf at the time). And the first thing he said after the typical "Hi, nice to meet you" was "So, Sarah says you like to drink alot." Wow, if that didn't get her a dirty look! But guess it worked, here were are 3 1/2 years later! Though looking back we both wonder what mades us ever trust going on a date with someone Sarah tried to hook us up with. (And everyone else that knows her and us wonder the same thing. Let's just say we aren't the best of pals, or in-laws for that matter)
I've just moved to Germany. I ask a friend I knew from Romania "hey, where do all the american's hang out at night - i'd like to socialize sometime". Scott said "I dont know, I'm an old married guy and never go out anymore." (I've since realized this is 100% normal - once you 'domesticate' you don't go out to the meat markets or bars anymore in this community - you just go to dinner with other couples). He tells me "tell you what - I've got a friend, Chris, who works in the building next to yours - he's recently single, speaks german fluently and knows all the local places to hang out. I'll tell him you're asking so just pop into his office and ask him, he'll give you the single's view." YEAH RIGHT! I thought and I had 110% intention of NEVER going over and asking someone I didn't know about that kind of stuff.
So later in the day, I'm sitting in my office just minding my own damn business and this admin assistant in running through the building trying to find people and pops into my office to ask me if I knew where Cass was. I'm like "yeah, that's me". "Oh, Scott told me you might be interested in finding out where people hang out here" "yeah" "ok, what do you want to know" "um, where the americans hang out." "oh, you mean you want to know right now?" (Insert him stuttering, figiting and everything else)
Well he made his stuttering way back to my office two more times that day (MUCH to the amusement to my office mates who all laughed their butts off at this guy blushing, stuttering and attempting to flirt w/ "the Ice Queen") and offered to show me around downtown (since he spoke German). 10 minutes before my PITA boss had came in and harrassed me "you go downtown yet? why not? get your butt downtown and see the local area". This had happened every freaking day for a week so I was like what the hell! I told Chris..sure, i'll go downtown with you, just let me know when. How about tonight?
And basically we went out, I found out that he had thought he was asking the secretary out and not the highest ranking person in the office- LOL - he about freaked when he found that out and suddenly became VERY formal until I was WTF, you dont work for me! relax!. we talked for hours every night for weeks after that (nothing but friends because I flat out said I wasn't interested in a relationship that I had just been seriously burned by one). Eventually I figured my "type" hadn't worked for me and this guy was a really NICE guy, let's give him a shot and see how it plays out - worst case is I just get a really good guy friend. We've been merged at the hip ever since.

,p>We both ran track in high school and meet during practice my freshman(his sophomore) year but he doesn't remember this because he was that typical jock. Back story: I was in a lot of advanced classes and didn't really like a lot of people in them. Fast forward 2 years and I see him walk into the precal class we were taking. I told him to sit next to me cuz I needed somebody new to sit next to. Then we started hanging out alot because I was also a basketball manager and he was on varsity. From then on we have been together!
What is even funnier about how a nerd and jock getting together in math class is that once our Pre-cal teacher found out we were together, she said we were going to get married. 5.5 years later, we do!
