How did you meet your husband?

Belthil · December 2013

We met through my sister who worked with H. He fixed computers part-time so when mine stopped working she called him. We were both seeing other people at the time and quickly lost touch but a few months later we were both single and randomly started hanging out which quickly morphed into more and we've been together since

Hubby and I worked together, but I never would have had the opportunity to spend more than 2 seconds with him if not for the fact that he had a shoulder injury that prevented him from driving (he drives for UPS), and I was the safety co-chair. I had to do paperwork with him and spend a lot of time in the office together.

However, hubby was too shy to ask me out on a date - instead, he asked if I'd like to go fishing with him, thinking that if I said no I wasn't really rejecting him, maybe I just didn't like fishing! But he took me out on the boat, we caught fish together, and we've been together ever since.

His and my mom were friends and then when i saw him suddenly for first time he was very enthusiastic and a talker and i kinda pretty much liked him ,later we became friends and usually solved each other problems and then he proposed me and i said yes and that's how it started,he is currently working in outside of the country and mostly stays outdoor so things are going great things between us and have never changed since

H and I met on plentyoffish.com. I had been on it for years, met a lot of duds but kept profile open in case...I had just ended a relationship with someone I had met offline, but I was ready to get out and meet more people. H contacted me, and I took my time deciding if I wanted to talk to him but I loved that he wrote me a short novel instead of the usual 'hey you're hot give me your number', so I gave him a chance. He was really intelligent and funny and weird, but I think I'm weird too and he didn't shy away from that. We met after talking online a couple of weeks, and our first date lasted for about 10 hours. We had drinks at a bar, hung out on a bench, then I followed him back to his place and we watched movies and kept talking. It was dawn before I was like, OMG I need sleep. He tucked me into his bed and slept on the couch. Perfect gentleman. For as much talking as we did and there was still more I knew I wanted to learn, I knew he was the one. We dated about a year and a half before he popped the question. Just got married this past Sept. 15.

We met in high school. We don't really know when we met, but had a lot of mutual friends throughout and probably met and re-met many times before we ever got to know one another and started dating in our senior year.

DH and I met at church. His Dad is my Pastor and we went to church together for 2 years without even really speaking to each other. Then within a 7 month period we started talking, dating, became engaged and got married

I was at Philips Exeter Academy for a work conference. We were both working for different companies that belonged to a mutual organization. When I was introduced to him I thought "ooooh....in my next life, I'll find someone like HIM." and secretly thought "we're so perfect for each other and he has no idea". I have NO CLUE why I thought that. It was just a feeling that couldn't be explained. We didn't even have a conversation that night other than being introduced.

Fast forward to the same conference a year later at Princeton. We were networking with mutual friends at the weeks main event....we couldn't stop talking. It's like everyone and everything else disappeared and it was just the two of us alone in the room. I knew then that we had to be together, and we have been ever since!!! Quite a few of our friends from the mutual organization that our former companies belonged to attended our wedding - it was awesome!!!

I met my husband playing online video games. He was friends with someone I knew and spoke too all the time. One day he butted into our conversation and took over. He later apologized and we started talking while playing and we've been talking and playing video games ever since.

POF Marriage also!

ChaoswithGrace · December 2013

My husband and I met on the lovely website www.plentyoffish.com It's a little cheesy, and full of some "foward" people - but we hit it off - and engaged after 6 months - and married almost two weeks ago.

I love hearing all your stories!

I'm another plentyoffish success story! The hubs and I met after I contacted him on a whim- was having no luck meeting anyone of quality- and he brought me flowers on our first date. Wehn he said he'd call me, I thought, "Hmm, we'll see... ". But he was true to his word and the day after our second date, he called me after a couple hours at the bar and told me how much he liked me. About eight months of dating led to our engagement at Mardi Gras and another eight months later, we got married (this past October).

Blind date. I was sitting in Starbucks telling one of my best friends that I was done dating and I "couldn't do it to myself anymore." This was after a disastrous 20 min date that started 45 min late. I had finally had it with the dating scene. I remember stating that I would be perfecly happy living alone with my cat and it finally no longer bothered me. The conversation with my friend went something like this:

Friend: Well, I know a guy...
Me: No.
F: He's a laywer.
M: No, no, no.
F: He's cute..
M: Not gonna happen.
F: Tough, I already told him about you and gave him your phone # & email address.
M: You what!?
F: See, now you have to talk with him. One date won't hurt.
M: Fine, you owe me.
F: There is one thing...
(at that point I almost killed her, expecting still married, crazy, not over last relationship)
F:...he's losing a little hair on top and is a self concious about it. And if it goes wrong I don't want to hear about it since you are both my friends.

Little did I know she had a similiar conversation with him that ended, "well, there is one thing..."

My one thing: Braces. I'm telling you being a 28-30 year old with braces was a pain.

A few emails later and one blind date dinner and the rest is history.

ChaoswithGrace · December 2013

Love this. I don't know about you - but I was pretty reserved when we were asked the dreaded question "so, how did you guys meet?"

We would pause and look at each other. We didn't realize by doing that it made it seem far worse than just saying "we met on line".

I'm so happy to hear POF brought people together!

I had just moved back to California and my sisters & I decided to go to a theme park for the day. We went to one of the stunt shows, at the time my husband was a stunt man, after the show we went to take pictures with the stunt crew & he introduced himself. I couldn't stop thinking about him so I purchased a season pass so I could go back every weekend just to see him in the show ( but I never approached him again because I thought it would be awkward ) anyways one day after a show he saw me and ran over to ask me if I wanted to go out for coffee after the show.of course I said yes. We stayed out so late that we got kicked out of Starbucks and ended up tailgating on the back of his truck until 2 in the morning

We danced, laughed, told jokes and stories & the rest is history

Match.com

I was relatively new to the area at the time and my honey was 1.5 hours away in a neighboring state trying out something new. We took turns driving to and from each others places every weekend. We have been married nearly 7 months and are happily living in Houston!

Sugarplum97 · January 2014

I met DH in High school, I was 13 when I met him. At the time had no clue I would marry him one day. After being friends for a half a semester I fell in love with him. Three years later, we are married and renovating our house, and I should graduate with my BA in Psychology in December. When I met him I had no clue this is were I would be today, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

OkCupid.

I messaged him first and said "Hiya, I like your hat." He still wears the hat and we smile about it every time.

moonprincessd · February 2014

We met on Facebook through some dating app, back in the day when Facebook let you have all those crazy apps, the ap allowed me to search in my location, so I searched my college, found his profile, andI think I "winked" at him, lol. He later messaged me. I gave him my number, he texted me and asked me on a date. Met on campus, started dating, and now happily married.
