How did you meet your fiance/husband/wife?

The other post about online dating inspired me to ask, and I love hearing stories about how couples met! We both attend an HBCU- Historically Black College or University.

The other post about online dating inspired me to ask, and I love hearing stories about how couples met!

We both attend an HBCU- Historically Black College or University. Most of the white students here are locals who attend the school so that they can live at home and save money, but I don't have an HBCU near me, I've just always wanted to attend one since I was a little girl, so I moved 7 hours and into a dorm room to be here. So of course, I am one of the few to have a meal plan and eat in the café. I was eating dinner with a group of my friends one night when he walked by and saw me, he was instantly attracted to me and we had a mutual friend. Later he asked her what my name was, but she played dumb and told him she didn't know, not knowing if I would be interested or not. Later that night I went on a long walk with a couple of friends including the mutual one, took some pics and tagged her in one on Facebook. He saw the tag, added me and asked me out.

    Law school orientation lunch line. I was still drunk from the night before (I partied way too hard during orientation week in law school) and I had enough liquid courage to ask him about his hat. That being said, I probably would have asked him had I not been still drunk because I'm a super extrovert.

    His brother is dating my BFF. We all started hanging out to play games occasionally, and I thought he was witty and hilarious. We were both in other relationships at the time, it wasn't until several years later when we were both single that our feelings sparked.

    We met in high school, but dated other people. We reconnected in college when he came to visit a mutual friend. We've been together for almost 7 years!

    High school sweet heart. We dated from freshman year until junior year. Broke up, I joined the army, got married, had a kid, got divorced and he found me all over again. It was like no time had passed. Smiley smile

    H and I met at my BFF's New Year's Eve party in DC (I live in NY). I went home with him that night and he was supposed to be a one night stand....that was almost 5 years ago Smiley smile

    We did long distance for close to a year (I spent a lot of time on Amtrak) and then he moved to NY to be with me and my daughter.

    Wow, what cute and (sometimes) funny stories! I really enjoyed reading everyone's post.

    To the person who asked, I tried to write in your guest book but the link to your page would not work... maybe you deleted your account? I attend a very small HBCU in North Carolina, I'd be happy to share the name with you privately (I'm still there, and there are so few students, I feel kinda unsafe posting it online, haha).

    Thanks to everyone who responded!

    We met in college, we'll I was a senior in college and he was a police officer in our town. We met on Halloween, I was leaving the bar and he was working security outside. My friends and I were leaving and he knew some of my friends and he stopped to say hi and we were introduced. Turns out he had already been asking to me before. We went on date and the rest is history Smiley smile

    We went to the same college, but first met after he messaged me on a dating app... and I ignored him the first two times and only responded to the third message. I'm glad I finally responded Smiley smile

    We met on OkCupid. We "liked" each other's profiles. In mine I mentioned one of my favorite foods is breakfast. In his first message to me he mentioned how he loves cereal for dinner. I remember thinking, "Someone finally understands me!" We got engaged about a month after meeting.

    My FH and I met at a Christmas parade back in 2014. He was dating a old friend of mine and my now ex husband and I were seperated. After my old friend broke up with him I sent him a message on FB to make sure he was okay. From there we started dating and he asked me to marry him in 2015 after my divorce was final. The rest is history.
