How about a "getting to know you" thread? Just a little something to keep things going around here for those of us just sitting around on a Saturday night (unless I am the only one in my pjs eating chips and salsa while watching Property Brothers).
So, how'd you meet your DH/ SO?
My H was running a liquor store while I was in grad school. I was a regular customer (because grad school). He asked me to hang out one night after the store closed. We got drunk after hours in the store and... Seven years later here we are.
Our church small group meeting just ended and while DH wants to go out to dinner I'm too tired to leave the house (we hosted tonight). I'm not really hungry anyway, but chips and salsa do sound good.
DH and I met on OKCupid (free and sometimes sketchy online dating site).
I had recently moved to a new city and wasn't meeting anyone and DH had recently gotten divorced and was looking to rebound and repair his ego.
We met for drinks after work on a Friday and didn't leave the bar until midnight. He knew that night I was "the one" and I went home and dreamed we got married. I woke up and laughed because I thought it was crazy, but a year and a half later he took me to the same bar and proposed.

aprilz81, I love that he proposed at the same bar! My H took me to the neighborhood where the liquor store was located (and where my grad school is) and proposed while we were walking around our old stomping grounds.

We met right after we graduated high school at a mutual friend's grad party. He was looking for someone to hook up with and I thought he was as big of an ass (albeit an attractive one) as I had always been told. We went on a camping trip with the same group later that summer and decided we would have a quick fling before I moved out of state for college. He proposed 6 months later over my winter break at the top of the mountain after dinner

We met at college. He transferred in my sophomore year in January, started dating in September, and were engaged 2 years later. This June will be our 7th wedding anniversary.

We also got married in June but this year will be our 3rd anniversary. Congrats on 7 years!
We met at college. He was friends with my flat mate. We knew each other for a couple of years before something clicked one night in a pub. That was 18 years ago!
I met DH on match.com. We moved in together before we got engaged but DH had said we could get a house or an engagement ring first and I picked house. Wednesday will actually be our 4th anniversary. We are going into the city to see The Lion King on Saturday and are staying overnight. Now we have something else to celebrate too
DH and I grew up together. His family moved to my hometown when I was in 5th grade, since his dad was starting as the youth pastor at our church. I dated a couple of other guys in high school, then after those relationships were over he was dating someone, so the timing hadn't worked out. They broke up his freshman year of college (my senior year of high school) and we started dating that following summer. Initially I wouldn't accept a date with him because we were friends and I was afraid it would ruin that. We spent that whole summer hanging out, a lot of which was spent at the coffee shop in our hometown. By the time I left for college that fall I knew we were going to get married.
We got engaged the spring of my sophomore year at the coffee shop we hung out at in my hometown and got married after my junior year. I was 20 and he was 22. I only had 6 credits left of college so we moved out of state for his job and I finished the credits at OSU.

We worked at the same law office. He was just finishing law school and getting ready to take the bar exam and I was finishing up my first year. The firm had a huge summer party, he got me drunk, we danced for hours and here we are, about to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary!
Dh and I met through his friend ... Who happened to be my boyfriend! (Oooh scandalous!) My bf had moved him in as a roommate to help us make rent payments. I was a single mom and things weren't going so well with us, started fighting quite often. When we broke it off, and he moved out the friend kindly offered to stick around to help me make rent payments til I could find another room mate. He even babysat for me to go on other dates with guys from plenty of fish.. And then one magical evening while watching the pick of destiny our eyes met and something changed... And almost ten years and almost 5 kids later, here we are, still going strong ❤️

We met at work. I was new to position and he had been in the role for awhile. He helped train me even though he was based or of a different location.
We met at work too! He is very quiet, and I took it as a challenge to make him talk to me, boy am I glad I'm pushy! 8 years together, going on 4 married.

Funny story, DH and I were both on eHarmony and never got matched up. That's because on paper we are not compatible at all! Well, screw paper!!! We've been perfectly happy for 7 years.
We met at a PetSmart. We both volunteered to the same event "Santa Paws" because we're avid dog lovers. I was taking pictures of dogs with Santa. He was in charge of using squeaky toys to get the dogs attention. I thought he was cute but was under the impression he was married. We talked all morning long and cleared up the confusion. He was single! He told me he wanted to see my new corgi puppy so we scheduled a puppy play date. I went there not very sure if it was a real date (he wasn't sure either).
After a very rambunctious puppy decided to dive in the local park pond, we had to take him to the groomers for a full bath. We had beers while we waited. THAT we were both sure turned into a date.
TTC#1 since Feb 2011 With an RE since 2012 August 2012/March 2014: Med cycles, 5 IUIs, 5 IVFs and nothing. Diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)
We adopted four embryos! Transferred 2 - they both took!!! Rebecca & Sara born at 23 weeks on 04/06/15. Rest in peace my angels. May 2016 - Transferred one embryo. BFP on 5/11!! We are due in January 2017!

So it was more than puppy love? (i couldn't help myself)

Dh and I met the first week of freshman year of college when I gave his roommate a lift back to his apartment. He was hungover and not pleasant. Not a great first impression.
We ended up becoming good friends / beer pong partners and 14 years later I still can't decide whether my breakup with my high school sweetheart was 99% or 100% because I wanted to make out with DH.

Beer pong would have been the way to my heart as well. God, I miss that game.
