That's so sweet :) Such a movie-type relationship!
I met SO 4.5 years ago in the dorm we both lived in (he lived on the 4th floor and I lived on the 2nd) in the lobby (there was only one lobby bc it was a small dorm...like 100 people total). I was talking to my friends and he was sitting waiting for someone and I saw him listening to our conversation and told him he could come over and join us if he wanted. We had seen each other a few times before that but had never spoken or anything. We ended up staying in the lobby all night as all my friends drifted off to their rooms and eventually we were left alone. At 8:30 the next morning we were still awake and talking when the fire alarm went off and when we came back into the building and I told him we were going to his room...don't worry, we didn't do anything 
. Just talked some more but his roommate was sure confused about who this random girl was that SO had brought back to the room at 8:30 in the morning. lol. We've been together ever since and plan to get engaged soon and married next year:)
I met my FI 2 1/2 years ago when he joined my team at work. As soon as he walked into my office I was hooked ;-)
He was only going to be in the country for 11 months before returning to Europe so we tried to keep things casual to avoid being heart broken. It didnt work and we fell pretty hard. His visa wasnt renewed so we both decided to move to New Zealand so we could be together. He went back to Europe for 3 months and proposed not long after returning.....the rest is history!
@mrswoo: thats like a movie!!
I met my husband my sophomore year of college. His best friend at school was my roommates boyfriend and one night we were going to her boyfriends place to pick up some wine since we couldnt buy our own. My husband was there and had just returned to school after taking a year off. He was watching C-SPAN and my dad works for C-Span and I just happened to be wearing a C-SPAN jacket. I told him it was weird he was watching it on a Saturday night and was immediately interested. We only hung out for a brief period that night but then a few nights later we ran into each other at a party. We ended up talking on the couch for 3.5 hours. Then a few days later, I poked him on facebook and we started IMing all the time. I then showed up to his apartment drunk one night and Im sure you can imagine what went down. After that night we started hanging out all the time. We were not "official" until we had been dating for almost 4 months but even early on I knew I was going to marry him. Now, 5 years later we are married!
@PitBulLover: that's a cute story:)
and yea the first post is definitely something out of a movie.
i guess i should elaborate a little on my story.
i had already gone on one unsuccessful date from match.com and then my second date was this sexy firefighter and we had a fling for like 2 months. we argued a lot though for only knowing each other for 2 months so we both decided we should go our separate ways. he gave me "cheater" vibes anyway, i knew it wasn't going to be serious. so i was pretty burned out and thought "bah, this sucks i'm deleting my account". so i cancelled my account and then that same day my girlfriend called me up and said, "OK..i finally made a match account, i'm ready to do this with you" (i had been begging her to make an account with me but she wouldn't). lol i told her i just cancelled my account and she whined and begged me to go back on. i don't know why we needed the moral support but we just did. so i reluctantly reactivated my account and decided to give it another go, but i wasn't expecting to meet anyone at all or fall in love.
this time i decided that i was going to be proactive and rather than just wait around for guys to "wink" at me and write me, i decided to actually fill out the search criteria and do some searching and "winking" of my own lol i was instantly attracted to my husband's profile and he had this one picture of himself with these ridiculously oversized women's sunglasses and i knew right away he was a goof (one of my favorite characteristics) and in his "interests" section, he put "making her happy:)" and i thought, "my kinda guy!". so i winked at him. he wrote me a message within an hour and we exchanged a few emails and met up like 3 nights later at a bar. i told him to bring friends and that i would bring friends too. i really didn't want the stress of a big fancy one on one date and decided it would be best to just meet up with friends and see how things go. well, he showed up with a chick! hahaha right away he introduced her and explained that she was his roommate and that her boyfriend was also his roommate (the 3 of them lived together) and her boyfriend was out of town visiting family and he couldn't find anyone else to bring that night. i had no reason not to believe him or be jealous or anything. she was actually pretty cool and we talked a lot. i brought a married couple i am friends with and we all had a great time. at the end of the night, i was a little tipsy and asked him if he wanted to makeout. he smiled and said, "of course" and we had a really sweet and innocent little 1 minute makeout session and then we went home. he text me that night when he got home that he had a wonderful time and couldn't wait to see me again. we went jet skiing 2 days later (he had just bought one and asked if i wanted to go the next morning). all of his really good friends got jet skis too and the whole crew went, i was surprised that he was bringing me around his friends so soon. he definitely seemed very proud to show me off right away it was really cute.
one day in the car on the way to the beach (about 3 months into us dating), he was all excited and smiling and i was kissing him on the cheek while he was driving and he was like, "I REALLLY like you!" and I said, "do you want to say that you love me? i can tell" and he said, "YES!" and i said it back. the rest is history.
Mine and DH's story is soooo not romantic lol.
We met in college--we had a mutual friend who set us up. We hung out when we could and we liked each other, but I ended things after about a month and a half. I was still hung up on an ex-boyfriend, DH didn't want an exclusive relationship.
Fast forward a few years. I'm hanging out with a good buddy of mine looking for this piercing place. We get lost, so we cut through a parking lot to get back to a main street and low and behold, I spot DH walking with one of his friends. I wave, DH waves back. A few minutes later, I make my friend call DH. We all meet up at Waffle House (classy!) and the rest is history.
@nontraditionalmiami: thank you! Your story is really cute too! It makes me want to push my mom to go back on match! I thnik online dating is one of the best things that has come from the internet.
@PitBulLover: yea i recommend it to anyone. you never know! some guys are actually on there to find serious relationships. i could tell that about my husband right away, he even said on that first date that he was looking to settle down and he had been on a few unsuccessful dates so far. he had no shame in admitting that, it was refreshing. i was defintely smitten that first night.
what's really cool about our first date is that we actually have a picture together which is rare. it's because we brought friends and everyone was drinking, so of course eventually someone busted out the phone camera and we got a cute pic together on our first date:) that roommate chick was in it, but i just cut her out of it lol
We met at a bar, celebrating a mutual friends birthday. Never thought I would actually meet a normal guy in a bar...but it happened! We actually didn't talk too much, we were both a little tipsy. I had to leave quickly since my ride was leaving so we didnt even say goodbye. So I friended him on facebook the next day and the rest is history :) I actually have our very first facebook convos. saved still. They are so cute and innocent.
We met at temple. We both belonged to the same temple our whole lives, but he's 5 years older so we never ran into each other. He is friends with all of my older brother's friends, so he was standing with a bunch of people I knew. I went over to say hi to them and met him. The next day he facebook friended me, and a month later we started dating.
@Bostongrl25: i think it's common to meet at bars, everyone makes it sound so bad but it's not. i even know a married couple who drunkenly hooked up on the first night lol
@nontraditionalmiami: I think its common to meet people, but it usually doesn't end up in a long term relationship. I had met guys at bars for years before him, but after a few dates it just didn't work out, or they turned out to be a little wack-o.
Everyone loves our story so here it goes:
I had been slow w/boys and had my 1st kiss the end of my freshman yr of college. I became infatuated with this dirtbag who strung me along til Aug of my sophomore year when I decided it had gone on too long & I was gonna get me mine! At the same time, I sat next to my SO in our first class together in our shared major because he was 1 of 4 guys in the class and I was determined to get me some (not sex; SO & I were both virgins when we met). I decided I would remember his name for the next class and sit next to him... We were ridiculous together! Talking all through class and being so silly. He asked me to come over for dinner and he made spaghetti & meatballs and panicked because he couldn't make the garlic bread like he imagined, it was so cute he wanted to impress me. Then we watched a movie and he made NO MOVES on me even though I was totally wearing some make out clothes & sitting practically on him! He was completely oblivious to that and I still tease him about it.
So then, he asked me out after a couple weeks of us talking all night on IM and all through class and I turned him down. I didn't want dating to get in the way of a class project we were working on and I really just wanted to be single and have fun. My BFF thought I was being a complete and utter moron and told me I was repeatedly. So I finally started believing her and over Thanksgiving break things got really heated on IM and I thought we should be make-out buddies (way to go, me). We did that for a bit until one day we went on a drive to a secluded lake and we got out of the car and I was cold and he just held me and gave me a kiss on the forehead! I about died. Finally it gets through my head that he's a great guy and I should date him. So we have "the talk" and I was dreading it so much because I thought I had ruined it and he'd be happy with just being make out buds so I was sickly nervous. Instead, he said the only thing was he wanted to wait until after Christmas break for it to be official so the month apart wouldn't be as hard. We talked every. single. day. that break and the rest is history!
Later we found out that we were in a class together the semester before we met. We walked together, without knowing, to lunch at the same place every single day after class and then ate lunch at the same small section of the dining hall every single day. Somehow we never met and I think it was just because it wasn't time to. I always take that as evidence we were meant to be & the Universe had to give us another chance! :)
@LaurenK0105: that is pretty cool. i have a similar situation!
i brought my husband over to an old friend's house after we had been dating a few months. this friend is a guy whom i've known since we were 9. he had a live in girlfriend and had us over for dinner. as soon as we walked into his house, my husband was like, "i've been here before". turns out he had gone to my best friend's halloween house party the year before. they had some distant mutual friends and my husband ended up at that party for a while. i was actually invited to that same party that year but didn't go because i had big plans in miami with some other friends and was "too cool" for a little house party. lol
@LaurenK0105: thats really cute. And I too believe that the Universe brought me and my husband together at the right time. We actually had mutual friends during my freshman year and he said he hung out at the dorm I lived in all the time.
@mrswoo:So sweet, I love your story!
@Bostongrl25:I met my husband at a bar, too!
@artbee::) I always wished I would meet someone at temple.
@nontraditionalmiami:Woo match.com--you're in their tv statistics now. :)
@yellowhammerlady:and the rest is history :) your story "ends" like mine. cute.
@PitBulLover: and @LaurenK0105: aww college sweethearts
we met when i was on vacation. had a long day sightseeing (walked 10 miles in flip flops that day!) and wanted a drink. so i went to a bar, and got a drink and sat down to listen to the rockin band. then the bad went on break.
and i realized i was alone in a bar. not a very upscale one either. uh oh. but there was this cute guy and we had been smiling back and forth.
well, eventually he came over and invited me to have a drink with him and his friend. and then we had 3 dates while i was still there on vacation.we were opposites, so we (or maybe just i) knew it couldn't go anywhere, but a few dates was fun. and that was the end of that!
except that he called me when i got home. and then he kept calling, once or twice a week.
and then i got a job there, and moved, and then everything worked out like some kind of crazy fairy tale.
DH and I have a long and complicated "how we ended up married" story, so I'll try to give the short version. lol
After DH left home for college, his mom & younger siblings moved to my hometown (where I was currently living). His younger sister and my two little sisters were BFFs in highschool. Story goes that one day at the lunch table, they were talking about how cool it would be if they could be related. And they figured the only way to make this happen is if someone from each of our families married....me and my DH. lol
After that conversation, my DH's little sister gave him my email address, way back in 2004. Several months later, he decided out of the blue to email me. THANKFULLY, I recognized his name and emailed him back. This went on for about 9 months...until he came home on leave to see his family for Christmas. We finally met for the first time and when I saw him for the first time, I knew he was the one...just had that feeling...but I was NOT HAPPY AT ALL about it. I had zero interest in him. He was in the Army and I had no desire at all to be a military wife. He was in an on again/off again relationship anyway, so needless to say, things stayed at a friend level for about 4 more years....until....
One day I get an extremely random text message from him, which confused the heck out of me beings I thought he was in Iraq (which he was. he was just home on leave). He ended up coming to see me and we've been together ever since. It was like after 4 years of friendship, we finally figured out what everyone else knew all along. We literally had our first official date on a Monday, 2nd date on a Tuesday, and on Wednesday, he went back to Iraq for 10 more months....sigh...and finally after all of that...This past October, he FINALLY got out of the Army and moved home with me. Since the time we started dating, got engaged, got married, and had the first 10 months of marriage, we saw eachother 8 times, so I'm in major cloud 9 laa laa land that he's finally home with me...
My daughter threw up on him. Romantic? No. Did I get to see what an amazing guy he was immediately? Yes.
Annabelle was four. We were waiting in line at the ice cream truck when she said mama I don't feel good then immediately threw up on the legs of the man in front of us. I freaked, grabbed her and ran to the nearest trash can. My now FI, bought two bottles of water and napkins and helped me clean her up. I had never even met him before and he's helping me clean up vomit!
I was so embarassed but he was so nice. I told him I would take him and his son to a play place the next weekend as a thank you. He didn't let me pay and we had the funnest day ever. It took two years for us to start dating although we quickly became best friends and talked everyday.
@JsDragonfly:aww :) our story has a lot of bumps in it just like yours. we stopped talking because we figured we'd never see each other again. then we realized we'd missed each other by minutes in NYC (we were both visiting--me from Cali, him from Hawaii). We reconnects, and then he deployed. During that deployment I moved, so if it didn't work out, I'd have my own network and friends. Then he came home from Iraq and it was AMAZING! And then, after 5 months of bf/gf, he knew he wanted to marry me. We had seen each other in person for 2 weeks.
When you know, you know.
And then he almost proposed (again?) right before he left for another deployment. We've been apart more than double the number of days we've been together. It really makes time together so much sweeter though. :)
I love your story.
@PitBulLover: and @LaurenK0105: aww thanks! I have trouble telling the story to his grandparents--they're teatotalers, so "we met on vacation" is as much story as they got.
EEEEE I love this story.
Short story, we met at a bar! It happens.....we did it!
Backstory. We met in February in Ottawa, the month prior I had gone to Ottawa (4 hours from me) to meet with a friend to go to the World Jrs (when Ottawa hosted!) to go to the semi-final game. We went to a bar, and ended up winning front row tickets from a beer company. Beer company guy was from Nova Scotia town where friend went to school so knew each other.
Fast forward a month! Plans to go to Ottawa to visit same friend, on the Friday night after arriving, friend was texting with beer company friend that all his buddies from Nova Scotia were in town for the weekend and we had to meet up with them at some point in the night.
Few of us girls go to a house party, then two two bars and after arriving at the 2nd bar, paying cover, coat check and for 1st drink friend gets text from beer company guy saying where they were and we had to come now so he could get us in! Me and another girl were a tad annoyed, but opted to follow friend and meet up with beer company guy and his "crew".
We get there and my eyes light up, a group of mostly really good looking guys are in a c-shape around us three girls as we get introduced. My friend knew some from her schooling in NS, but other friend and I knew no one buy beer company guy who went down the line and introduced us to everyone. I caught one guy staring and we met eyes and I totally got an instant attraction feeling! We got our drinks and he immediately walked over.
2 hours of screaming in each other's ears I was hooked. He was from Nova Scotia but had relocated to about an hour from me to teach years ago. He was in Ottawa that weekend coaching a hockey tournament and his brother was part of the Nova Scotia group so he wanted to meet up with is brother. So here were are in this group of people from Ottawa and Nova Scotia four hours from home and the only one from close to me is the one talking to me and I already feel like I'm in love with him.
We went on a 1st date the following Saturday halfway between where we're from and have been inseparable since!
i met my FI 2 1/2 years ago(give or take)....
my brothers [then] girlfriend wanted to set me up with this guy that both her and my brother worked with. i was very hesitant! he wasn't my 'type'. so one night she had a game night at her and my brothers apartment and she invited FI over to hang out....i did not like him! lol i even flat out told him 'i do not like you'(later i found out he thought i was joking...i wasn't!) he came off as arrogant and just wasn't feeling him. so i forgot about him, she gave up the notion of setting us up(he had no idea that she wanted to set us up at that time), until a few months later when a few of my friends(including my brothers girlfriend) were going out for a happy hour, and she invited him because he was having a rough week. well after i got to talking to him the WHOLE night, i started to realize that he wasn't that bad, and i actually didn't NOT like him at all, i was actually quite smitten with him(he claims he was nervous and liked me right away that's why he came off how he did). lol so since that night we have talked to each other everyday and now i'm marrying a great, great man. so glad i gave him a second chance...lol
I met FI when we were 16 years old...grade 11. He sat on the other side of the classroom in our french class. He told me later that he noticed me right away and admired my french speaking ability (my parents went to a french university so they brought me up in both languages).
I played on the field hockey team and one day a teammate told me that she knew someone who had a crush on me. She told me his name, and that he was in my french class, (and chemistry class too!) , and that I should talk to him.
So the next day, I scoped him out, and started making eye contact. He shortly thereafter added me to msn and we started chatting. On msn, a few days after we began chatting, he asked me if I would ever go to a movie with him. I believe my exact response was, "sure,why not?"
The next week we went out on our first date, and the rest is history. I was very shy back in high school but he gradually brought me out of my shell. He's my best friend. 8 years later, we've moved in together and are excitedly planning our wedding! We definitely plan to invite the teammate who "sparked" our relationship to our wedding. Good memories !
@PitBulLover: & @nontraditionalmiami: & @ellabee: Thanks....
I know my story seems like it's out of a movie. I can't believe How lucky I am to have my FH in my life.... That's why I like to refer to it as a fairytale...
I love all of your stories girls, they have kept me smiling all day!
@SoontobeMrsA: Love this story!!
@RingPup: Aww, what a great story :)
I moved to his hometown when I was almost 11, and we met either around the neighborhood or at school (he was a grade ahead of me), we can't remember but I know it was that year. We hung out with some of the same friends, so we would end up seeing each other randomly. We didnt' really care for each other. Then he started dating my then "best" friend, and we hung out more and I thought he was ok but was never attracted to him or thought of him as more than her bf. Then right after i graduated, I started dating his gf's first bf, and he moved in with my other best friend's bf, so we saw each other more, but still nothing. Fast forward 3 years, and we run into each other at a party. Crazy thing is, I was sposed to be at the club that night and not the party, but my friend got sick and dropped me off at the party cuz I was looking really good that night and wanted to keep partying! I ran into him that night after not seeing each other for at least a year, and we share stories about our cheating ex'es (but not with each other, which is a shame cuz that would have made for an even better story!). And we have been together ever since...
You know, I always said I would never marry a guy I already knew, I wanted to meet someone who had no idea who I was. But I also said that I would marry a business professional and I ended up with a grease monkey whose known me more than half my life!
FI and I met in choir my sophomore year and his freshman year of college. We were also in the same physics discussion that semester, so we talked to each other a few times, and we started IMing towards the end of the semester. We talked a ton during the next semester, and we'd sometimes hang out just the two of us. Towards the end of the semester, we went out to his other choir's afterparty together, and he walked me home and we kissed on my front porch. We weren't sure what to do about the fact that there were 2 weeks of school left, and we were going different places for the summer, but we decided to give it a shot. It was a good decision :)

I want to hear everyone's story about how they met their other half.
Here's my story:
I have known my now fiance since I was 8 years old. He was 10-11. He was the boy next door. And he thought I was the most annoying girl in the world. I can understand, I was 8, skinny as a rail and had a mullet. And I had the biggest crush on HIM! Anyway, when I was 11, my family decided to move to the midwest and i had to unfortunately had to say goodbye to him. The night before we left, his family came over to say goodbye, and my cousin looked at me and said, go ahead and hug him and say goodbye. you know you want to... WAS I EMBARRASSED!!! To top it all off, he had no idea that I liked him until that moment! Anyway, Lets jump ahead like 5 years, to the summer before my senior year. I was on Myspace and decided to look up people I used to know, and who comes to mind? You guessed it... The boy next door. I typed in his name in the search bar, and he popped up! i messaged him and sure enough, it was him! To make a long story a little shorter, we talked off an on until he got out of the military and I came out to CA to visit him. June 13, 2008, and we have been together ever since. he always said he really didn't want to get married and if he did, he would have to live with the girl for like 2 years before he would think about proposing, well Nov 10, 2009 he made me a surprise candlelight dinner with candles lighting the way down our stairs. He got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, and of course I said YES!!!!
Anyway, that's my story. I like to refer to it as "My Own Little Fairytale"
What's Yours?
-XOXO-
