Re: Poll... Love Stories!
We met over a game of flip cup at a fraternity party. Very not-romantic lol.
PS I kicked his azz in the keg stand competition afterward.
Love these stories... Keep them coming! Thanks for sharing ladies!
Punky --- hillarious!!!!
We met through friends in March, but only said hello that day. The following months we saw each other in group settings and talked more. One of my guy friends became good friends with DH and i guess he would talk about me, but my guy "friend" wouldn't give him my # even though he knew i thought he was cute (neither of us knew the others interest at the time). Eventually one weekend i was a little depressed so a group of us went out. DH asked me if i wanted to go outside (I thought to talk to him while he smoked) but when we got out there he just kissed me. We went on a proper date the following weekend and then saw each other every day after....the rest is history.
We met working at Restoration Hardware... I had just got out of a relationship and wasn't looking for anything-- I was also in grad school full time (with a 24hr per week internship) and two other jobs (work-study & daycare at a gym). He was the stockroom manager.
We started talking about his nalgene bottle- it had a sticker of the mountain I grew up skiing at... and his sister lived there for a while. We knew some of the same people & he knew a college friend of mine from high school... so we had a lot in common. We went out for drinks after work one night and the following day he asked me out
Yikes, Mesa! How did you have time to do half of that, let alone meet your husband?!
We met in American History class junior year of High School, but didn't start dating until we were in college.
We met in Italian class when I was a sophomore and he was a senior. We got together a little over a month before the end of the school year and it was decidedly not serious at first :P I was dating a guy I really liked who wouldn't commit after over a year on and off. I decided that a cute senior was just the thing to make this guy realize I was a catch and he should get exclusive. It worked, but unfortunately for him and to my surprise, I had fallen for DH. DH, for his part, just thought I was cute and figured I would be fun to hang out with until he graduated.
When he graduated and we went our separate ways, even though we both thought it would die a natural death over the summer, we ended up talking constantly on the phone while I was working at a sleep away camp and he was at home. At the end of the summer he decided to take a chance and moved up to Boston while I finished college. The rest is history I guess.

This is a great post, I love these stories!
DH's friends say that we met online. Technically that's true as we were introduced via e-mail by a mutual friend. We were living in the Bay Area at the time and I needed a ride to volleyball games down at Stanford. My friend offered to drive me, but it would have been totally out of his way to pick me up so he asked DH and his roommate, who lived close by, to take care of me. I kept a pretty busy social calendar so it was about a month before I took them up on their offer to drive me down, but DH and I had e-mailed and talked on the phone back and forth during that time--he even asked me out before he'd met me in person!
We finally went on a date soon after that first volleyball day and have been together ever since.
No idea... but I did lose a ton of weight (granted, after we started dating, I gained it all back). I didn't sleep to much that year.... once we started getting serious, I cut back on the jobs because I spent most of the time sick so I needed ot take care of myself.
