True story on how we met...

I met my FH on match.com. He told everyone immediately. I waited until we were serious. My friends knew. They were the ones encouraging me. I was previously in a 6 year relationship, just turned 30. Once I told my parents they were like "ok" and continued on our business. I previously dated a police officer and my dad loved the thought that I had someone to protect me, but he knew I wasn't happy because of how I was treated. My FH is amazing & my dad didn't care where I met him just that he treats me great. He's not fond of the idea that he's military and that we could be moving overseas, but that's the life I chose. Lol

Odd thing to hide. We met online and have no problem mentioning it. Most of our married friends also met online and not really a taboo thing.

So you met on "Christian Mingle," and your FH won't tell anyone the truth, and you made up a story? Hmmm...

I met my FH online as well and we haven't told anyone simply because after we met we realized we met in the past and didn't even realize it until I met one of his friends which turned out to be one of my friends and didn't put two and two together until the day I went to 'meet' him!

My FH and I meet on a gamming site through some friends. We actually didn't grow up far from each other though he was older then me buy 8 years so we didn't cross paths in school. However No one knows that we meet on the game they just all know that a mutual friend whom both families know introduced us. Even our friend hasn't said anything. I honestly Don't think anyone would judge us if we came right out and said we meet playing an RPG at least from our circle of friends and most of our family would understand just not the older generation who doesn't even get computers. If you don't want to tell people how you meet that's your choice.

We met on POF! And haven't been private about it. We tell everyone this is the longest one night stand ever. You shouldn't be embarrassed or ashamed of how you met. It's more common than not these days.

FH and I met when he grabbed my ass in a bar at a concert. I was with the guy I was dating at the time and he and FH knew each other. At one point during the night, while my ex was going on and on about how great and wonderful I was, FH told my ex if he didn't put a ring on my finger, FH would. We started dating 2.5 years after that encounter, and are getting married in 13 days. Everyone knows this and neither of us are ashamed.

We met on Tinder, so you are not alone in the online dating.

We also met on tinder! We have no problem telling people.

Everybody knows how we met... My FH was my brothers friend... I moved back to the east coast from Colorado after a split with my ex ... a few months later I asked my brother if he had any hot friends (he said no but his then gf said what about Ray he's cute ) ... My brothers swore we wouldn't get along lol ... we tried to contact him that night and he didin t answer my brothers call .. fast forward a month my brother and him were arguing bc my brother is a jerk and he's like I was gonna introduce you to my sister ... He ended up sending me a friend request on Facebook and we hung out the next day ... and we ended up falling in love . ..

I don't get the need to keep it a secret. You are engaged. No matter how you met it has obviously worked out fine so whatever concerns someone might have on online dating should be long gone. There is nothing to be ashamed about. At all. You found your future spouse.

I don't get it. But I guess if you want to lie about how you met go for it.

I think it's better not to lie about it, as it will come out eventually and when it does, that would be worse. I do know a lot of people who are a little embarrassed to admit they met online, but it's becoming so common I don't think it surprises people anymore. My FH and I met at work. He was my boss' boss and we are honest about how we met, although know one believes we didn't date until after he left...The important thing is, you met. Not how.

Everyone knows how we met (through a mutual friends when we started college), but our engagement story?... that one we're only telling a version of how it really happened (that's far from the real one), think of the scene in "The Proposal" when 'gammy' asks how Andrew proposed, everyone wanting to hear a romantic story, and it happened with both sides, my family and FH's, since it wasn't a super elaborated thing (and completely not us) rather than let's say a follow-up conversation between two grownups, we just say it was during our anniversary dinner (it was 2 days later) and he asked during dessert (he started talking when we were driving somewhere, aka our only alone time during the week), but it's more about keeping it to ourselves this important moment... that truly was what I would prefer rather than the other

I met FH at a tattoo shop the only secret kept from my parents were his age(he was 24 I was a month from turning 19) my mom didn't like the age difference she knows now.

While everyone knows how we met, we never really announced when we started dating. I thought I told my parents, but I guess not?? That was totally accidental! Lol! I never called FH "boyfriend" or anything, just by his name. But anyway, my mom cornered me and asks so was dating him when we were around the 2 year mark? My dad already got the idea that we were dating and thought it was really funny that my mom had no idea. Everyone else caught on almost immediately, so I guess I forgot to say something to my mom!

We met through Kik. The instant message app. Through a glitch. Every single person we know knew right away because we felt there was no need to keep it a secret. I'm a grown ass woman and if I wanted to meet my FH online then so be it. My dad met my step mom on eHarmony. Also, I feel waiting to say anything is a bad idea. You may hurt feelings. And also, why wait now anyway? What are they going to Do? "You can't meet this person! You've never seen him/her before! They could be a murderer!" You've already met and are getting married. I don't see the point in hiding it anymore.

Tinder... but we already knew of each other. We went to high school together just never talked. So we just tell people we went to high school together and met up again when I was home from college for spring break one year haha

I met my FH on Whisper in college. We made up a story to tell my family who would have hated him just for that. We don't plan on telling them any different because it is the half truth. We did meet on a bus for the first time - in person.

I don't see the point of lying. Tons of people meet online. This isn't 1996, meeting online is not an unusual thing anymore. FH and I did meet through a mutual friend, at a bar. I was shit faced drunk. Like sloppy, "let's do more shots!!!!", puking in the bathroom at the end of the night drunk. He still liked me anyway for some reason, haha. We've been together over 10 years, so the how did you meet question doesn't come up much anymore. Now it's the how did he propose question

I met my fiance on POF. But most people know that we met through mutual friends. Only people we are close with know we met on POF.
