True story on how we met...

I met my FH on Eharmony. Because we travel miles to see each other. It was no secret how we met.. The more time we spend the more comfortable I am telling people. I am from Trinidad and my FH from Oklahoma, USA.

There are men on this site, too.

I have nothing to hide and am comfortable with my decisions. I don't deceive my loved ones. Everyone that has asked how we met gets the same story because it's true: OkCupid.com.

What is so wrong about meeting someone online? Especially a site specifically for Christians, so you obviously didn't meet through a porn convention or something. It's extremely childish to keep trivial information from people and instead make up lies.

I don't understand the need to keep it a secret. It's not like you met on Backpage.

Meeting online is very common now and how you met should be celebrated, not hidden. It's part of who you are as a couple.

Same here. Match.com! He tells people through mutual friends lol I think he's embarrassed he was on a dating site lol this was 6yrs ago.

We met online and are really open about it!

I'm not into deception. We met online too and I think nearly 40% of couples do meet that way these days. Everyone we care about already knows our story.

We've been open about how we met but not the engagement. He asked before I had met his mom and realized how heart broken she'd be to know we're engaged and at the time I was a stranger to her so we lied about our engagement date.

I don't see it as a childish decision for us to keep this secret, it's more that it's not something I ever pictured myself doing. I have a strong background in journalism and enjoy listening to stories. It really shouldn't be about how people meet; rather, what their relationship is like. That's why I like to share the story of our first date, instead of how we met.

Guess I'm alone on this one. But I'm sticking it out!

FH and I met on Facebook in a group called Vegan Singles. We have always been honest with family and friends and everyone has been supportive and loves that is how we met.

We swiped right! Haha, we don't hide the fact that we met on Tinder. Or the fact that we had our first date because I was going through my matches one night to see who would want to go skiing with my roommate and I the next day and he happened to be the only one available since it was a weekday. He proposed at the same ski resort where we had our first date. I think it's a cute story and am not embarrassed at all. I know a lot of people who met significant others online or on apps.

We don't lie and ours is not the best story to be told for either of us since we we both still in relationships. I knew when I met him he was the man for me and quickly ended my relationship as did he. It's not something that we yell from rooftops but it is also not something we hide and most everyone who knows us knows anyways by now since we've been together for 4 years.

We tell people we met online, but don't mention the specific website since it is now known as more of a sex site than a dating site. We met 18 years ago on the website and it wasn't like that when we met back then.

Well... I don't normally tell the real story of how FH and I met, because it'd be pretty awkward telling grandma I got wasted at a college party and jumped a stranger's bones... Heh. But after 9 years together, we don't get the "how you met" question anymore. Why do you want to hide your real story? Meeting SO's online seems to be common nowadays.

I met my FH online as well and at first I didn't want to tell anyone so we made up some fake story. Eventually I felt stupid and told everyone the truth. Keeping up with a made up story was exhausting. If I could go back do it again I would have just been honest from the get go. There's really no point not to be. Not one person has said anything negative about us meeting online. It's pretty common nowadays and most people really don't care.

One of the earlier interactions between FH and I was at a cast party for a show we worked on together-- I was pretty drunk and informed him not uncertainly that I was "very single, by the way!" We leave that part of our story out for our parents.

I met my FH on a video game. No lie. I told our families, and at first my dad wasnt keen on it, then he got to know him. My dad loves my FH.

I feel like lying about it doesnt make it any better, in fact could make it worse. I would come clean, most likely before the wedding. Holding it in and lying to them would bother me personally.

This is stupid as fuck. No one cares how you met!!!

ETA-- I mean as in, you do not need to hide your story! Seriously no one will even care how you guys met! Unless you met while hiding dead bodies or something lol, just chill out and tell them! Nothing to be ashamed of. Lying is going to get old and difficult, and it's pointless anyway.

I think it's weird to keep it a secret. Who cares how you met?

For example, I went to preschool with FH. We were NOT friends. He was in the redneck/hick group in high school. I transferred halfway thru and was more of a nerd/jock.

We were re-introduced the day after FH got back from his deployment to Afghanistan. I was home from college on winter break. It was in ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES a one night stand. I thought he was hot. He thought I was hot. We went back to his place, had wild and crazy sex, and I left in the morning fully intending (ok, hoping/praying) on never contacting him again.

Almost 6 years later... we're almost 5 months to the big day!

Must've been some good sex I guess.

I met my FH on Match.com -not embarrassed at all about it! 1/3 of couples meet online these days

I didn't tell my parents that we met online right away. I let them meet him, gave their approval almost immediately (which NEVER happened with my exes!) and waited a few weeks after that to tell them. I told my dad "remember I told you we met through a friend? Well, that friend is the internet". At that point they already liked him so it wasn't a deal breaker, but they were surprised.
