How did you meet your H?

How did you meet your husband?

The board is slow and I'm interested in how you all met the loves of your lives?

DH and I met online (plentyoffish) our first date was at a local place to eat and then we went driving around looking at Christmas lights. I had given up on online dating, and he sent this long sweet message.
After our first date I told the girl who was staying on my couch (long story) that he was too nice and I didn't think he was the right guy for me. She convinced me to give him at least another date. I did and the rest is history.

I met my H online. He had a terrible pick-up line, and I fell for it. We talked on the phone for a good 6 weeks before I agreed to meet him. We went for supper and a movie. He wasn't sure if he was ready for a relationship, but I convinced him otherwise!

And the rest is history!

High five for meeting hubby's online!

mrsvedo · January 2014

We met at church when we were 14 (me) and 15 (him). He was "dating" (as much as one dates at 14/15) another girl in youth group at the time. They were together for a year and a half or so and we were all friends in youth group. They broke up amicably (actually we're all still good friends), and DH and I started dating when we were 16 and 17 after getting close on a youth group trip out of state. Married at 24 and 25. We are now 29 and 30. It's crazy to think that we've known each other half of our lives and been together for most of that time.

DH and I went to high school together, though we didn't know each other well until our last semester of our senior year when a mutual friend brought him over to hang out with our group.

I had given up on trying to find a boyfriend, since I was going away to college, but he was meant to be in my life. I knew pretty much right away he was the one and we've been together almost 6 years now.

LooneyLife · January 2014

We met our first semester in college. We had several classes together but never really talked. We'd just smile at each other as we passed in the hall or in the library. Ten years later, he joined MySpace and I sent him a message. Turns out we both had crushes on each other way back when.

ETA: We met before his injury. We had class together the semester it happened and I cried walking back to my dorm when I found out about it. We had never spoken and had no mutual friends so I had no way of knowing how he was doing (this was also pre-Myspace/Facebook, so no internet stalking). I was so happy to see him return to school the next semester.

We met online, chatted for about 3 weeks and then went out for dinner. Dinner turned into a nice walk and then drinks. The next day, he took the day off, packed a picnic lunch and met me during my lunch break at work. We were pretty much inseparable after that.

Another online girl here! We met on Match.com. We talked/emailed for about a month before we met for our first date. We both canceled our subscriptions within a month of meeting each other.

iwalktheline · January 2014

DH and I met in college in December 2006. I was 20 and he was 21. We met at a masquerade ball. One of my guy friends (and current crush at the time), D, asked me to the ball. Of course I said yes.

When we got there, D kept passing me drinks (I was still under age). I got really drunk and he kept disappearing. Anyway, the whole time DH was hitting on me. Talking to me, touching my gloves, etc, etc. In my head, I was thinking "who is this guy?? I'm here with D". Anyway, obviously nothing happened with D. He turned out to be gay (and not only that, he was sleeping with my male best friend at the time... would have been nice to know that when I had the crush on him, haha)

After the ball, a few months had gone by when my friends (all over 21) saw DH out at the bars in our college town. They came back and let me know that he was asking about me. This was February 2007. I was shy and didn't want to make the first move, but my friends convinced me to. So, I ended up sending him a cupcake on facebook on Valentine's day. He messaged me and we arranged a date for a few days later. We had an amazing first date (seriously, it was perfect). I instant messaged him as soon as he dropped me off and we've been inseperable ever since.

^They're really cute together.

We met on Match.com a few weeks before Thanksgiving 2010. I winked at him and he messaged me back. We chatted online for a few days and then exchanged numbers. I still remember the first time we talked on the phone. I loved his voice and he was so easy to talk to, which is why we ended up talking for 6 hours that night with no dull moments. We went on a date the Tuesday before Thanksgiving to dinner, then Salsa dancing, then a bar and ended with getting ice cream. It was the best first date. The next time I saw him was on Thanksgiving because he didn't have any family or friends to spend it with and I brought him a plate of food. We've been in love ever since.

blueeyedblossom · January 2014

R says he knew I was the one when I brought him homemade chicken noodle soup when he was sick. It was like 2 weeks after we started dating.

omgladypirate · January 2014

Called 911 and he showed up. True story.

Um, definitely need more details here.

brij2006 · January 2014

Met in High School. I was a sophomore, he was a senior. He had a cool car and I felt bad that he was 18 and had never been kissed.
Now here we are.

cinderin · January 2014

we met at summer camp the summer before 8th grade.

we didn't date then though - I thought he was a total nerd (he was). and I was too cool for him :-)

aggiebug · January 2014

We met through a mutual friend in college. We don't exactly remember when but have narrowed it down to a basketball game our second semester freshman year. We dated for a month or so and broke it off. Stayed friends, went to sporting events together, he asked me dating advice for his other grok friends and I swore I wouldn't date him as we were just friends... Started dating Jr year and haven't looked back.

Uptowngirl2009 · January 2014

We met in college freshman year. I had seen him around campus because he went to the same high school as one of my friends at the time. Then I joined Percussion Ensemble and he was in that. He tried striking up conversation with me but I was not interested at first because I was seeing someone else at the time.

A few weeks later he IM'ed me and our mutual friend talked to me and finally we decided to watch a movie together. Then we just started dating and the rest is history.

Xan921 · January 2014

Dh and I met online through AOL. He was browsing profiles, came across mine and noticed we had similar taste in music and were the same age so he IM'd me.

We kept it to just online chatting for a while because I had a boyfriend at the time who I had been dating for 3 years but knew I was going to break up with. After I broke up with my boyfriend, Dh and I started talking on the phone every day but I just wasn't ready to meet him. I had just broken up with one guy because I didn't want a relationship in college so I wasn't interested in meeting someone knew.

I went off to school and for the next 6 months Dh and I talked online and on the phone a couple of times a week. Eventually one random Friday I just said 'what do I have to lose?' so I asked if he wanted to hang out that weekend. His car was broken down and we were 2 1/2 hours apart so I drove the 2 1/2 hours down to his grandmom's house where he was living at the time, picked him up, and then drove back to my college with him where he spent the whole weekend with me.

The weekend wasn't great. He really got on my nerves and I didn't feel some magical spark with him. The car ride to drop him off on Sunday was awkward and I couldn't wait to get rid of him. Then about half way through my drive back to school I started missing him oddly enough. He got his car fixed two weeks later and came up to visit me and then we were inseparable.

Our attraction for each other was instant but I think it took a while for our love to really grow. We were on and off for a long time, hated each other sometimes and couldn't get enough of each other the other times. Eventually we got it all sorted out though and I'm so glad that on that random Friday almost 10 years ago I thought 'what have I got to lose.'

nightmare_of_beauty · January 2014

First time we actually met, I was 17 and DH was almost 19. I was at Walmart with some friends as was he and a mutual friend introduced us. I was an under age smoker (yeah I was bad) and he bought cigarettes for me because he thought our mutual friend was cute (also under age smoker) and thought it would get on her good side. I was seeing someone so though I thought he was cute never gave it a second thought.

Two years later! Having a rough time and some of my co workers invite me to a club with them. There my co worker introduced me to DH, neither of us realizing we had met before. I was seeing someone, but he was part of the rough stuff happening, so went spent the night casually flirting. Next day he found me on myspace, within 2 hours we were talking on AIM, next day the phone. Boyfriend and I broke up and co worker knew I had a crush on him and tried to make as many situations as possible for us to hang out. I sent him a message on myspace telling him that I had a crush on him.

Week later hanging out with a mix of co workers and friends and we decide to go to a porn store (it was suppose to be like the biggest one in the state, yeah was not). In the middle of the store DH ask if I'm still seeing BF. Tell him no, spends the rest of the night finding any excuse to be close to me or hold my hand. After the friends went their separate ways he asked me "will you be my girlfriend?"

ETA: We realized the Walmart thing after dating for 3 months. He was at my house and going through a photo album of mine and saw a picture of me from that night (I dressed more goth at that time) and remembered it.

Sewilson33 · January 2014

I met DH randomly my freshman year of college but we didn't cross paths again until my junior year. That time we met at a Starbucks with one of our mutual friends. He wasn't planning on sticking around very long until we started chatting and from there we became great friends which lead to dating.

RockABye · January 2014

His roommate/best friend and I dated off and on through college so I'd kinda known him. Never had an interest, even though I thought he was really good lookin'. Turns out he'd kinda had an eye on me. After I got out of a relationship with another guy, I called the roommate to hang out (because we'd always remained very close friends, even when not dating. There was no weirdness) and he brought DH along. Couple days later, at the urging of the roommate, we played racquetball together. The rest is history! The roommate had a hard time with it at first bc I was always his back burner girl (why I finally told him I was not ever dating him again!). He insisted that he didn't set us up (he totally did...) He got over it eventually and we are all still friends now.

sparklingdiamond · January 2014

We met because we were both working at a TGI Friday's. He worked there to earn some Christmas money and I was working there while I went to college. I hated the job, but at least got him out of it! :-)

Apollo11235 · January 2014

DH and I are in the same year in our graduate program, and he tried to chat with me at orientation, but I was shy and/or reading our orientation packets and sort of ignored him (I don't really remember this). He decided I was a bitch and then apparently lived in the background of my life - and the foreground of his own, of course - for a semester. We were in all the same classes and had mutual friends we sat near, so we were always around each other, I just didn't know who he was so we never talked.

Then in January 2010, at the start of our second semester, we were in a class where neither of us really knew anyone, so he sat behind me and asked if I wanted to work on the homework together. We got together to work on it a few times, then he started stopping by my office to chat, and I invited him out to a bar with some friends. We got a little flirty, and he asked me to dinner the following night. We've rarely spent a night apart since.

transponster · January 2014

We met my freshman year of college. We were both in pep band, but didn't talk much for the first few volleyball games we played at. A couple of months in, I went to a party after a game, and he happened to be there, but he was with his ex at the time. They weren't together at the time but still talked a lot.

After a few drinks, I went over to talk to him, because he kept looking at me, but his ex was also trying to get his attention. I got annoyed and left, but a few minutes later he came back to talk to me. We exchanged phone numbers and the next day we watched a football game together. After that, he asked me out for a date, and that was that.

zamboni00 · January 2014

We met at a Halloween party that neither of us were invited to.
My friends boyfriends friends boyfriend was throwing the party, and was friends with a friend of H's friend- if you can follow that!

Neither of us were planning on going, but our friends wanted to stop by, and brought us along.

We hung out all night, but he left without asking for my number.

I left at that point, disappointed, but I got a text message when I was about halfway home.

He had backtracked through our 6 (or 7, or 8) degrees of separation until someone had my number

We have still never been invited to that Halloween party!

simsk3887 · January 2014

I was doing my clinical rotation as an Athletic Trainer at his college. I was a junior and he was an incoming freshman. I started clinicals a little later in the summer because we couldn't get the paper work to go through, but he claims it was love at first sight for him. Prior to that he was a player...not just a football player, ;-). I worked on the blisters on his feet every day until half way through the season when he tried to break his ankle. Then we worked on that together for a while. I had to do a Sports Psychology paper on an athlete who overcame adversity and an injury and being that his first language is Portuguese, I had an easy paper subject.

It didn't take long for the feeling to become mutual and him to change his dating style and settle down with me.

rccola1981 · January 2014

We play in a community band together. When I first joined he noticed me at an extra concert a few of us did and thought I was really cute but too young for him. I was working evenings at the grocery store and substitute teaching and he said he always sort of checked if I was working when he got food (every night or two) but still didn't think I'd be interested. After a July 4 concert the 6th year I was in the group we started to talk and he friended me on Facebook. After that concert, I posted about going to see fireworks if anyone was interested and he sent me a message and my roommate and I met him and took him along. Over the next couple weeks we hung out a few times and then near the end of the month he took me out on our first real date for my birthday. We were always together after that and got engaged in December that year. So we met 10 years ago and have been together almost 5.

abt8113 · January 2014

We met at church in college. I was in my last year of undergrad, and DH was just starting grad school. We hung out in groups of friend for 6 months until he asked me out. We then "hung out" one on one kind of dating (I had no idea because he didn't kiss me until after 3 months). We dated for 3 months until I moved for grad school. Then dated long distance for 2 years.
