    We met through work. I was teaching computer skills to handicapped people and he was a volunteer there. From the first minute we met there was a connection. We were friends for about 8 years and finally 2 years ago we decided to take our relationship to the next level. I really am marrying my best friend.

    Aww, love this question! We met on okcupids match. He was a complete charmer, super interested and clingy, which i like NEED. We scheduled our first date for a week later, but then collided at the movie theatre a few days before. He was standing there at the door with two tickets and i was good enough to get one for free, not to mention he is happy to answer all of my stupid questions. Our second date was a blur and we havent stopped since ❤

    Yesss!!! I was sooo tired of getting messages back that were worse than a 3 year olds writing! And I just got a lot of men who thought they were holier than thou.

    That's actually what attracted me initially (and his looks) to FH. He wrote in complete sentences and his spelling was on point! Haha. And just like you said, I could tell he read my profile. Our 2nd date was at a gym because we both were trying to get more active and he thought it would be a nice low stress date.


    I hope you guys have a great wedding date & a wonderful marriage! Exciting times!

    We met at a bar. He was sitting and talking with one of my friends, so I went over and started talking to him too. We hit it off right away, and talked and danced all night. He even asked me out on a date - to an event about 2 weeks later - that very first night.

    And, I found out that he was renting the bottom floor of my friend's house who he was talking to that night. I later said to my friend, "You had a cute, single guy who is my age living in your house and you never told me?" She said she thought we wouldn't be interested in each other. Here we are, 7 years later, so happy and excited to get married.

    Blind date set up by a mutual friend! I thought he didn’t like me, he thought I didn’t like him so neither one of us contacted each other! Few weeks go by and I heard from him, he asked if I wanted to go fishing. We went, caught a fish (I call it our love fish 😂) and never parted ways since.

    We met at our old martial arts studio. His buddy, one of the black belts, had been harassing him to join for a year or two, so he finally decided to look into it. I had been there for a few years already and met him after I was done helping teach a kids class. We clicked instantly and exchanged phone numbers. We were best friends within the week and decided to give a relationship a shot a few months later. We've been glued at the hip for 6 years now!

    We met at work. We were both cashiers at a grocery store, I thought he was cute and interesting. I invited him over for a Friendsgiving (Thanksgiving dinner for friends) and he ended up staying until 4am just talking. We texted back and forth the next day and then I went over to his house the following day after work for movies and pizza. I ended up staying the night. Everyone was surprised when we started dating because he's super introverted and I'm not. We broke up after we had been together for six months because things were starting to get serious between us and my kids were having a lot of behavior issues. He felt like he wasn't ready to be a dad and figured it'd be better to break things off then instead of waiting. He ended up texting me two months later randomly asking me to go disc golfing with him. He said he really missed being with me and doing stuff together. We started dating two weeks later and things have been so much better this time around.

    The classic story of a guy walking into a bar and trying to pick up the bartender. He came in one night with a mutual friend, I wasn't looking for anything at that time, our mutual friend pushed and I agreed to go on a date. We didn't hit it off as most would expect. It was the most awkward date ever so we kind of went back separate ways. A few months later we ran into each other out with friends, both already a few drinks in. We started talking, much less awkward. We had our first kiss that night, and the rest is history.

    FB recommended him to me. I added him because we had 40 friends in common and he was cute. Then I added him on ig. I liked his photos and commented on one of his pix. I then messaged him asking how we had 40 friends in common, but didn’t know each other. Turned out we went to the same high school, he was a senior when I was a freshman. He then asked me to dinner, which I found out later, his sister asked me for him through his ig. We’ve been inseparable since.

    We met on Okcupid. I had decided to give up and was about to delete the account, and that's when he messaged me. We talked for about a week before meeting up and the rest has been wonderful. Smiley smile

    He transferred to my school and my department in college. Prior to transferring, his then gf was also a student in my department and told him about our school. He decided to transfer there after they broke up, and she ended up giving him a tour, and I was the first person he met. We became friends after finding we had a few classes together and that we were cast in the children's show together. We had a bit of a spark, but due to some complications, we just stayed as friends. Over a year later, I came to realize that I never got over those feelings, but that they had gotten stronger, so I told him so. He said he did not feel that way for me anymore, but a few weeks later, he told me he had had a realization: I had always been there for him when he needed me, and all those sparks came back. We proceeded slowly, because we were afraid of ruining our friendship entirely. But, here we are, over 3 1/2 years into our relationship, planning our wedding!

    I met my FH senior year of high school. We had a few classes together but never really noticed him. I became friends with on of his friends and he would come by her during food lab to talk so we kind of started talking. I told her I wanted to ask him to prom as I never thought he would ask me, but for a whole month she helped him plan to ask me. It didnt go the way he wanted cause he was going to ask me 7th period but I was leaving after 5th for a doctor. I went back to school after to pick my friend up and she gave me his number since I had to run out after he asked me. I texted him not giving him my name but he figured it out. We started talking and on Easter April 24th, 2011 he asked me to be his girl friend (actually his sister just assumed I was and his older sister took my shoes by accident and his little sister called her and said you too daniels girlfriends shoes and I was like your sister just called me your girlfriend and he said well maybe we should make that official) it was cute lol and here we are 7 years later

    Bumble! I was getting ready to delete the app so I was ignoring the fact that a bunch of matches were about to expire. My FH requested more time for me to message him so I thought what the heck. We went on our first date a week later and sat in a bar and talked for 8 hours. I texted my dad later that night and told him I’m gonna marry this guy. That was two years ago and in six months he will be my husband!

    We met in Germany while both studying abroad at a language institute. The first time I saw him, he was flirting with some girl in basic (and probably broken) Italian. I figured he was the macho Mexican player stereotype and wasn’t interested, and apparently, he thought I was a sorority girl! (He obviously must not know ANYONE in a sorority or even the stereotypes because I am basically the opposite of that.) We were in overlapping friend groups and not interested in each other, but our friend Maggie was insistent on playing matchmaker. She would go to each of us and tell us that the other one was really interested (even though we weren’t), and eventually we took her advice and started hanging out. Sadly, we only had a week together, but that’s all it took for us to fall madly in love! We began dating long distance shortly after and have been doing that ever since.

    We met while we were both working part time in college at an outdoorsy type of retail store. We would always get in trouble for talking and not helping customers. Then when we started going out together it was a huge scandal because they had strict no daiting rules for employees. I almost lost my job but it ended up all working out and they let it slide. We had to hide it from the DM and now here we are 2.5 years later planning our wedding.

    We started chatting on line, noticed we lived in the same city, and started hanging out. A couple months later I realized I actually knew his mother and younger sister because of my work. We were friends for over 3 years before we started dating. Our families get along great, and take several vacations with each other, and spend many holidays all together, so 🤷🏻‍♀️Meant to be 😂

    My FH is the little brother of one of my friends lol. I was in middle school when my family moved to be closer to my grandparents. As we were getting settled in, my grandparents insisted that my little brother and I needed to meet the nice family that lived down the road from them. I quickly became friends with the girl, but my brother never hit it off with her brothers. Fast forward to my senior year of high school and the oldest boy, who's only a year younger than me, started working the same place I worked. Suddenly my friend's "weird little brother" didn't seem so weird or little anymore. We hit it off pretty quickly and have been together, with his sister's blessing, ever since.
