How did you meet your H?

We used to work together. I was still recouping from an ugly awful relationship ending and had worked with him a few times, but didn't really think much. Then, a close friend suggested that I should make a move, and the rest was history.

We were just extra friendly for about a month before our first date, and we've been together for nearly 6 years next month.

We met when he was 17 and I was 16, when I started working as a lifeguard with his friend's GF. They wanted to set us up so his friend and him would come swim at my pool after their workout. His muscles popping out of the pool pretty much did me in. Apparently the feeling was mutual.

Our first conversation ended with him being stung in the eye by a bee. Our first date was watching Blair Witch Project in the first row of the theatre.
Second date I choked on a nacho chip. The rest is history.

Our first date was in June 2012. We met (this time) through match.com and we went to dinner at Outback a couple weeks after started to email through the site. I knew after a few dates.

After about 5 weeks we were inseparable.

I say this time because we actually first met in college. It was my last semester (I was a super senior) and he was a freshman. I remember meeting him because I also remember thinking "Who would wear a shirt like that in public?!" His favorite shirt in college was a Hawaiian shirt with beer steins, bottles, etc. all over it.

People outside of our friends think this story is weird when they hear it.

I dated my ex, S, for a year and we remained pretty close friends afterwards. Fast forward New Years Eve 3 years later. S was home from college so he had everyone over. I had only met DH once or twice when I was with S. Their personalities are complete opposite, so even though they grew up together they didn't hang out often as adults.

We hung out a few other times with the group of friends while S was still home. We eventually exchanged numbers and were basically inseparable after that. S was the best man in our wedding.

I was living in NJ and invited to a holiday party in MA.The couple I was supposed to ride up with bailed last minute, so I wasn't going to go. I found out two other friends were on the fence about going, so we all decided to go together. DH and I were introduced and spoke for MAYBE ten minutes. He had a GF and I knew my 4 year relationship was about to end.

A few days later he found me on Facebook and we started casually chatting. My BF and I broke up a few weeks later and he broke up with his GF few weeks after that. He decided to stop by my apartment on his way back from visiting his parents in FL (it was less than 5 minutes off the highway). He brought me my favorite Marilyn Monroe poster (that I mentioned I could never find) and a book about her that he got at Universal. He only stayed for about 15 minutes and that's when we had our first kiss. I knew he was interested, but I wasn't ready to start dating yet, so we were just friends.

In April he helped me move into my new apartment. By 9AM the next morning I was completely unpacked, pictures hung, etc. In May I had a housewarming party and invited him. He helped me with EVERYTHING. This whole time he was completely respectful and never expected anything physical. I decided he was too good to let go so before he left I whispered in his ear, "Will you be my boyfriend?" By the end of August we were engaged.

ETA: Someone grabbed my camera and snapped a picture of us the night we met. I have it sitting on my desk. We totally look like a couple.

DH lived down the hall from me in college. He was a freshman; I was a sophomore. We were friends for 3 years before we started dating. He turned to me one night while we were drinking and said, "I love you," and I (thinking he was just being drunk and sentimental) replied, "I know. I love you, too, bud." then he kept saying, "No, I love you, like love you." I ended up running away and freaking out in the bathroom with some friends. After a few months of long talks, we started dating. It was definitely a bit scary. I knew that I'd either marry this guy or ruin the best friendship I had!

I met my DH on match.com.

We talked through email/messages on the website for two weeks, and then talked on the phone for 2 weeks after that. We first met at Starbucks and then went to the movies after talking at the coffee shop for 2 hours. We hung out the next day and then a few weeks after that he asked me to take my profile off match and we became exclusive. We started dating September '08, he proposed June of '12 and we were married October of '13.

September of my junior year in college, his sophomore. In August of that year, my HS boyfriend broke up with me after three years together. We were trying to stay friends so would hang out with a bunch of people hoping it was less awkward.

DH was one of my ex's apartment roommates (4 to an apartment). We met when I went over to hang out with my ex and a bunch of other friends. We got talking and friendly. Neither of us were looking for a relationship since we both were recently out of relationships and taking a break.

Yea, that didn't work. Within 3 weeks of meeting we were inseparable, in every way. We made it "official" in October of that year. This October we'll be together 10 years.

Another online couple here (okcupid). He sent me a message, and I messaged him back two weeks later - luckily he was still interested! OkCupid has other features besides dating / matches, so I was really only looking for friends... but he was very cute and charismatic and funny, so I had a crush on him pretty quick. I'm pretty dense though, so I didn't know that he really liked me until he kissed me. It was pretty funny, he did the 'yawn / arm around the shoulder move' before he went in for the kill.

Our first date was going to see The Dark Knight, followed by a long discussion at Barnes and Noble where we discovered we had gone to the same high school - he had been a senior when I was a freshman.
