Ask a Question
Where Did You Meet?

Just curious to know where/how you & your future hubby's met.

My fiance & I met 8 years ago at my job. There were no instant sparks, but later down the road, I changed jobs, which turned out to be his current workplace as well. We became great friends (all the while he had a crush on me & even remembered me from the first time we met)....which led to lots of phone conversations & interoffice emails & flirting, lol. Lots of "private" lunch outings. That all led to love, & so here we are.

I met my FH when I was looking for a great tattoo artist to do my half sleeve... I had met him briefly through friends in the Toronto rockabilly scene and remembered he was a tattoo artist... so I contacted him and went in to see him about the tattoo and the rest they say is history! He says the first time he saw me in his shop he knew he wanted to be with me forever... aww!!!

I actually met my fiance online three years ago. I never had any intentions of meeting him. We talked for awhile online then it moved to phone conversations. While I was in college he came home from break and wanted to meet up, I didn't see any harm since we would be in a public place and I was bringing my roommate along. Well, turns out it's a small world my fiance and my roommate knew each other, they grew up in the same area!

Now here we are two years later...you never know where love will find you.

James & I met at my best friend's cookout.  He's close to her cousin, but I had never seen him before.  We kept locking eyes...so bad at one point that I missed a step outside & tripped.  Hard.  He came to me later & asked me if I had fallen lately.  It started laughs & we've been inseparable ever since.  Now we use that same line about falling lately when we talk about loving each other. :)

We met in a bar. I was trashed & hanging all over another one of my friends, but I couldn't stop staring at him & vice versa. My friend & I weren't serious at all- it was more of a casual friends with benefits thing, and we had an agreement that if one of us met someone the other couldn't get jealous. Another one of my friends was with us, marched up to Chris, grabbed his hat and ran back to me with it. I went to give it back to him, he bought me a few drinks and we got to talking. I wasn't the least bit interested- afterall, I was leaving the country in 2 weeks. He kept pursuing even though he knew the situation and i never gave in. I just moved to England without a word to him, then called him a few months later when I realized I couldn't get him out of my head. I spent a year there before I came back, and we've been inseparable since.

I have known my FH since kindergarden, we were in the same class for grade two also had the same friends and babysitter after school. both of our families are military familys (his dad is in afghanastan right now acctually) anyways he got posted to alberta for a few years.  and come highschool we reunited in the tenth grade, so we would have been fifteen. we became erally great friends right away and were inseperable! we dated a couple times but we were young and didnt really want that , so i guess i can say we were just best friends with benefits, but he was always my go to guy we told each other everything. so a year or two go by and we were4 in grade twelve and we had both fallen really hard for each other, and started dating again but seriously this time. we went to our prom together and have been together since.
so I can literally say that i am marrying my best friend beasue he was that first.

Technically I guess my fiancee and I met in high school.  It was a small school and everyone knew everybody.  He was a year ahead of me and frankly was far cooler than I was ;-)  I actually can't remember us every talking even once!

After each of our grads we both went on with life.  I ended up moving to Amsterdam for three years and he got married young and subsequently divorced.  A few months after I came back from Europe I ran into him in a bar, wild coincidence.  After an awkward first conversation: I came up to him and asked if he was the guy I remembered from high school and he insisted that his name was Jack and we'd never met!  He told me later that when he saw a cute girl just walk up and start asking him his name he was afraid he was going to get a drink tossed in his face because he didn't remember me right away!  After that he did come clean though and ask me out and we've been pretty much inseparable since then!

I met my FI at a club/concert.  He was performing and my friend and I was in the crowd.  Being the party girl I "used to be", I started to flirt with him.  I even got on stage behind him cause he needed a background dancer.  Ha!  I don't recall us saying much to each other that night but I found it somewhat ironic that we kept running to each other in his hometown.  The third time we were passing in our cars and he flagged me down.  We exchanged numbers and started converstating on the phone.  
It's funny b/c we were friends about  2 years before we "hooked up"
(Whoa!  That was a long post for me)  LOL

I met him at the bar i worked at in Dallas. I normally didn't date anyone I met there but he was good friends with one of my more favorite regulars. I figured if he was one of her good friends, he must be alright. That and he invited me to the lake, hard to pass up. Anyways, the lake fell through bet we went out for dinner. There he tells me he's moving to South Florida in a month and a half. We had so much fun that night we decided to keep seeing each other anyways. We dropped off a little before he moved, mostly because I didn't see any future in it but at his going away party he sat down and told me how he felt and how much he was going to miss me. I didn't know what to say, I was going to miss him incredibly but I had just landed the ideal entry level job and was in no way wanted to worry about a guy i hardly knew. Somehow,  3 weeks later, I found myself at a Florida airport not knowing why I was really there and not knowing whether to hug or kiss this guy that was picking me up. The minute we got together it was like the first date again and I kept going back until April 07, less than a year after we met, when I made the move.

we met online as well on match.com
We chatted by email on and off for two months.  I actually confused him with someone else I was emailing with, LOL, but once that was straightened out we emailed a few times a day, then talked on the phone (when I finally got the nerve), then we went on our first date January 6, 2006 and have been inseperable ever since.

My H2B is myf school friends younger brother whom I never really spoke to but saw all the time really. It was only 2 years ago the first time we spoke properly that we ended up together on a random night out and we have been inseperable ever since, its so strange as we never spoke properly up until then. Now 2 years on we have a 10 month old daugher and engaged to be married! Amazing!

My FH and I met at my job. I am a nurse, and I was taking care of his good friend after she was in a very bad accident. I was not even supposed to have her as my patient, but she needed to be moved to a private room and it was mine... I was so busy, but I took her. The second I met her we clicked, and I was in her room for almost an hour! I took care of her for a week or so and she asked me if I was seeing anyone. I told her no, and she said she knew someone perfect for me. The next night I came in and she looked really BAD. They had taken away her pain pump that day and I could tell she was hurting. I went in to give her pain medication, and she looked at me STRUGGLING to talk and said " Kristin this is Ben"! I could not believe the will this woman had to try to hook me up with her friend when she was dying in pain!! LOL .... I saw her last night, and she is finally walking without crutches after over a year!!!  She always tells me that I saved her life .... and then saved Ben's ... and then I always tell her that then they both saved me :)

My Fi and I went to high school together and had a lot of the same classes in grade 9 and 10. In grade 11 I was taking physics class, and after 8 days hated it and decided to switch to Ancient History. He had been taking Drama and after a few days hated it and switched to Ancient History. We briefly talked in class to each other, but starting talking online. He dropped hints about wanting to see some movie, but me ever so oblivious didn't realize it, until one of my good friends pointed it out to me. He came up to me one day in class and asked me to go to semi-formal with him. I said yes, and three years later we were engaged, together for five years now, and getting married next year.

We met online too! LOL, I was relieved to see that there were a few other people on here that met that way. :0)
We met on myspace. I didn't even WANT a myspace account. My younger sister talked me into it after months of sending me requests to join.  Once I was on there, I found I knew a lot of people that were on there. Soon, I had tons of friends on there that I had known a long time, and was enjoying getting caught up with them.....I wasn't looking for anything. One day this guy sent me a friend request. I thought, sure why not, you can always use more friends...it took a couple months to even start our conversation. Once we did start talking, it was very casual. After about 5 months we decided to meet. After we met, we couldn't stay away from one another! We lived an hour from each other, but still managed to see eachother several times a week! Before long he was living with me, and on our one year anniversary, he asked me to marry him!
I am living proof that love finds you when you least expect it! I never thought I'd meet someone on myspace!!

We met as teenagers while away for the summer with a youth organization. Never really said much to each other or got to know each other.

Five years later, he saw me on a dating website and asked me if I was that girl from Debert in 2002...I was.

We started talking, and couldn't stop, so we went on a date. The rest is history.

Well this one will shock you. I met my fiance when I was 4 years old, and he was 6 years old, and we were eachothers first kiss. That was almost 25 years ago. And I have the pictures to prove it! My fiance is my step mothers cousins son. So that makes us step 3rd cousins. We grew up seeing eachother for a week or so every year or two. So we always knew eachother, and always had a mad crush on the other. When we were teenagers we almost got it right, but I clammed up when he tried to kiss me and stepped away... and out of respect... he didn't try again.. and he was still nice to me. I guess I broke his heart lol. But anyways... we're all grown up now, and still sweetie pies. But in a much better way.

my response is probably going to make you laugh...
we met in 1998 at the local skating rink (whoop whoop). I was 13 and he was 12, hahaha. We went to the same middle school but didnt know each other because he was a grade below me. We both had pagers/beepers (whatever they call them these days), and we were able to have a whole 20 mintue conversation about them (mine had internet so it was WAY cooler than his!). We became friends at school and started "going out" 4 months later. We have been together ever since! 10.5 years, no lie!

This may sound like the strangest thing but we met at a gas station. On a fall evening in October and it was really chilly outside and thats not normal for New Orleans but I pulled up to get gas and he pulled up on the side of me. The funny thing was I was with my former boyfriends sister and we had just dropped her son off at his fathers house and my car would not start so they gave me a boost and I said I was not going to turn my car off anymore until I got home, because I didnt want to get stuck  and because it was cold and I was about 5 miles from my house....anyway I turned the car off and hurried to re start it because I had forgot just that fast and he thought my actions were so funny. I looked at him as if he were crazy and was having some negative thoughts because he laughed. So when I went in to pay for my gas he passed me by and my little sister (x-sister-in-law) watched as he almost tripped and fell trying to watch me walk back to my car. So while I pumped my gas I was singing a song that was playing on the radio and he came back and kept starring at me while he pumped his gas and he said "Oh and she sings too!" I just looked at him and really didnt pay any attention then he came over to talk to me which kind of scared me but we talked for about 30 minutes and exchanged numbers and I guess the rest is history. But I found out months later that, that was not the first time we actually had contact with one another he told me that he remembers holding a door open for me at a restaurant in the area and attempting to talk to me then and I just smiled and ignored him so I guess it really was meant to be......Sorry such a long story but thats how we met.

My fiance and I first met 2 1/2 years ago at a party for a mutual friend. Initially, there were no sparks with us also because I had just gotten out of a 5 year relationship. So, when he asked me out on a date, I gracefully declined and told him I'll take a rain check on it. So, we exchanged #s. The phone conversations were far and in between. We dated off and on and were eventually more off than on.
We began dating again last year and found out that we actually had more in common that we thought (if we had only given it a chance in the first place). We had discussed marriage while we were dating and I was ready (and I'm not very pushy. So, I never emphasized my intentions),  but didn't think he was . Boy, was I wrong? He proposed to me on February 16th of this year. So, here we are....
