    We actually met at work. He was in a different department but I could see his cube from mine. One of the guys that sat by him for a couple of months always had a chocolate stash in his drawer that he let me take from whenever I wanted. Apparently FH kept trying to talk to me when I was on my chocolate hunt but I'd grab it and go because I'm shy and terrified of people. Not sure how long that was lol. One day my supervisors son who is my age tragically passed away. I was her lead so when she came back to work I spent quite a bit of time in her office making sure she was ok and trying to distract her and making sure she was getting her work done. FH would come into her office when I was in the cheering up mode and he would make fun of me and helped me cheer her up. He would even write in my notebook random weird things that would take me a week to notice since we have almost the same handwriting. We actually started picking on each other quite a bit and it felt like we were in HS. My supervisor told me she thought he was into me. I thought there was no way because I was divorced and overweight and thought no one would ever be into me(my ex would always tell me how fat and unattractive I was). Then one day I was home and couldn't sleep and was entertaining myself on Tinder. I never had the courage to meet anyone from there...I thought I'd be the next one on the news that was kidnapped and murdered. So I see his picture and I'm like he looks like the guy from work and I swiped right. It popped up that we matched and I had a mild panic attack and messaged him like LOL hey I know you. So he goes on to say what if I wrote my number in your notebook so we could get in touch to get dinner.

    We tried to keep in on the dl but everyone figured it out pretty quickly since I'd turn beat red when I'd walk by his desk since he was always making me blush lol. Everyone was SO happy for us.

    We met my senior year in high school, I was visiting one of my friends who was in marching band (he was also in the band) and after I walked away from talking to her he asked her who I was she called me back, we talked and after I left that night he told her he thought he just met his wife fast forward through 4 crazy years and were engaged and so insanely excited to grow with eachother for the rest of our lives!

    We met on Okcupid. They had us as a 97% match and I agree. We made a date in person 3 days later. It's been 5.5 years now.

    We met on Plenty of Fish! I saw his picture and like it! Something about his eyes. We chatted for a couple of weeks, then phone calls for awhile.
    The first time we met, he had a huge teddy bear, candy and roses for me, but the sweetest thing was that this 6'4"man was shaking like a leaf. He was so afraid I wouldn't like him in person.
    Well, I guess I liked him, we're getting married!! ❤️ ❤️

    To make a long story short , we met through mutual friends. I was dating someone else at the time we met. But that relationship ended due to abuse. My FH and I just 'hung out' together after that. We haven't stopped hanging out since.

    We actually started talking through an online dating site. I found him and introduced myself and then I waited about a day to hear back from him, not really expecting anything out of this, I just wanted to meet some new friends, or someone to go out with. I think he thought different tho. 12/05/2014 was our first date and well, he couldn't get enough of me after that ❤

    I met my fiance on Match.com in 2012. I wasn't really feeling him at first, but he was persistent and really good to me. Over the years we built this relationship and he won me over completely, now I love him too pieces! Smiley smile

    We were both in eHarmony, but we never got matched. We met through our two good friends who work together. They both started talking about the two of us one day at work and decided to play matchmaker. A few days later FH Facebook messages me asking me out of a date and the rest is history!

    We worked together in a nursing home kitchen. Became friends right away best friends for 4 years. Took us that long to let each other know how we felt. After that is was history, we dated for about 5 months before we got engaged! Couldn't be happier marrying my best friend!!

    We met on POF (plenty of fish). Both of us were about to get rid of out profiles. He happened to message me and I didnt think much when I answered. Soon we were talking everyday. He was sweet and kind. We decided to meet up in Madison and I knew he was a keeper when everything went wrong by the end of the might. I had to drive an hour and a half away to pick up my sister on our first date. He came with me because he stated family was important. What person would do that!!! My wonderful FH

    That's adorable, Mandi! Were you two friends from elementary school until he asked you out or did you reconnect later on?

    Melissa, I think sometimes the best relationships start as friendships! Who told who how they felt first?!
