NWR: How did you meet your FH/FW?

Sam, on August 28, 2016 at 8:38 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 49

Hi, beauties! My FMIL requested the FH and I write the story of our meeting out tonight for a bridal shower game and the experience had us both laughing so I'd like to know, how did you meet your future spouse? Smiley smile My FH was the teaching assistant of a class I took when I was getting my second bachelor's (he was a grad student, I'm actually a month older than him so it wasnt.....creepy, haha!) Anyways, long story short, I'll never forget the first day of that class (a lecture hall with hundreds of students) the professor introduced him, he did his little princess wave to the room and sat down and I was smitten.....hahaha, I use to go to his office hours to ask questions (he was nervous and adorable) and on the final exam day he stood next to me while he proctored which.....made me nervous, haha. I reached out to him post graduating to see if he wanted to hang out and.....here we are. Smiley smile What about you lovelies, how did you meet your dream man/lady? Thanks for sharing. Smiley smile

    We met on Tinder. We were both in college 70 miles apart at the time, and neither one of us had a car, so our early relationship was full of late night Amtrak trips for weekends together! We said I love you a month in and knew we wanted to get married within 3.

    We are both nurses in the same hospital. I was convinced I was never going to get married because I wasn't going to settle!

    I was giving a project presentation to a bunch of people I didn't know one day and sat next to him after. We got to talking and found out we were in grad school together and he asked for my number! We went out and I knew he was special from the first date. Now we are getting married 2 weeks after we graduate with our masters degrees. So so excited!

    We met in a college choir class 8 years ago. We hit it off well but only started dating a little more than a year and half ago. We will be getting married a few months before our three year anniversary!

    We met in college, went on a few dates and things fizzled out. We actually reconnected through match.com 6 years later and we've been together since our second first date. Smiley smile

    Honestly we met in nursing school but I was married at the time. We were good friends and study partners and he became my best friend as my marriage struggled because of school.

    a year into my nursing career my marriage ended and yet my best friend and I were as close as ever... until 8 years later when suddenly we weren't just friends anymore and it was too hard to deny we weren't crazy about it each other Smiley smile

    which is weird cause when best friends transition into a couple there is never a true "first date"

    We met online. The night before we met I stayed up all night talking to him, he works night shift. That's when I knew I had to meet him so we set up a date for the next night. It was a very awkward date lol I was so nervous... But here we are now, getting married in 2.5 months!!

    We met online on Match. He was going through a divorce and so was I. My ex husband of 16 years was having an affair and left me. My FH and I were both dealing with heartbreak and ugly divorces. I found him and started the conversation. We met a week after emailing everyday all day. We were each other's shoulder to cry on and sounding boards. It slowly developed into an incredible love. I have two kids and he has 3. We are working carefully meld the two families. My FH was a life saver. He truly taught me what love and trust actually mean in a relationship and I taught him that he could take a chance on love again and not be let down.

    We met in college in a course offering that was solely Shakespeare. We did not sit next to each other, we did not flirt; he once said he agreed with me when I was debating with our professor in the middle of class about Ophelia's role in "Hamlet." One word for a whole semester, haha.

    Come to find out, we had a mutual friend, and we hung-out once the following semester. Nothing happened outside of us becoming more acquainted with the other over Chinese food and Cards Against Humanity.

    We hung-out a bit that fall and a LOT in the spring. We started dating on Easter, where he came back to campus early because he didn't want me to spend the holiday alone.

    I met his parents a few weeks after; he was attending a local school, I was out-of-state. I graduated a year before him because of a lot of college credits, but they thought I was 22; I was 20 at the time and he's a bit over a month older than me! They poured me glasses of wine and it wasn't until my second they learned I was 20! I always found that amusing.

    We met online. On eHarmony. I did it's a joke. I wasn't having any luck so I was just about to cancel my account when I said, well I've been seeing his name a lot. So I'll read his profile. And I was in love. Lol I sent a smile. It's funny because he logging in to delete his profile when he got my smile!

    Our first conversation was 3 hours. He drove 3 1/2 hours to meet me the next Thursday... And we just knew !

    I was actually showing at the county fair when I was 17 (I showed lambs) and I saw him walk by. I told my friend "he's hot!" And she completely freaked out! Turns out, it was her cousin! I ended up not really "following up" on it because I was showing. It was serious business.

    Fast forward 4 months, and my friend got asked out by this guy she barely knew. She didn't want to go alone and neither did this guy so she invited me and he invited a friend for me. (I know I know. We were 17 okay.)

    My "date" ended up being FH!! I immediately recognized him from the fair and we talked for hours and he got my number. We have been together ever since Smiley smile well with a couple of "breaks" in between.

    We went to the same college but he was in law school when I was in undergrad. We both wound up living in Charlotte, NC and knew all the same people. We were Facebook friends and would occasionally see each other around and be friendly but that was about it.

    Last fall we were at the WVU bar here in Charlotte watching the game. We talked and after that he kept asking me out for several weeks, and I kept blowing him off (I'd just ended a bad long term relationship and was very anti-guys). Finally the girls at work convinced me to give him a shot. We got drinks one night and have been inseparable ever since! We got engaged 8 months later!

    We met online in March 2014, on OkCupid.

    I had been online for a while, but I was still recovering from a heartbreak, and a week away from graduating with my degree. Because of those reasons, I decided that I wanted to take myself offline and off the market, and concentrate on myself. But, right before I went to delete my profile, I decided to browse one last time. While browsing, his profile came up. I had looked at it before and liked it, but never messaged him. I read it again, and finally wrote a whole paragraph to him. After I hit send, I thought, "ok, if he messages me back, then great. If not, I'm getting off." A couple hours later, I got a message backSmiley smile We met up at a sushi restaurant 2 weeks later. We got engaged on our living room couch 2 years later. ETA: spelling
