Another Match.com couple! DH emailed me and I replied because I thought he was funny. He asked me out pretty quickly but I initially blew him off because I had been on so many bad online dates. I finally agreed to meet for coffee, which turned into dinner, dessert and the movies. We bought a house and moved in together a year later, got married a year after that. We've been together 8 1/2 years, married for 6.
We met at bingo (every time I tell this story I feel like I am 80!)
We worked at the same company but in different departments! I started working there when I was still in high school (my mom worked there too so she helped me get in while in high school). Then I went to college and took an internship at the same company so I switch departments. DH was my replacement in the old department. So we knew of each other but didn't actually talk. My mom and someone in his department (which I knew) went to bingo all the time. This women would also tell DH about how fun bingo is and that he should come one day. Finally he said he would. My mom ended inviting me to go with them all that weekend. Since I had nothing better to do that day I said sure! My mom told me that she thought Eileen was bringing David with her from her department. I immediately asked if it was the annoying David or the other one! She said that other one. I was like oh ok good and went a changed my outfit! So we talked at bingo and then decided to go again the following weekend! We exchanged numbers that time and texted for a month before he finally asked me out on a date! We have been together for just over 6 years and will be married for 3 years this June! Oh and at our wedding we played bingo! It was how you won the center pieces! DH thought of the idea and planned it all! It was cute!! ❤️
We met on a dating site too. I was using the Salon.com personals which was linked to the Nerve personals where DH was. I can't recall who messaged who.. This was 2008. I kept putting off meeting DH and eventually turned off my account but I had his email. Maybe a month later I decided to reach out to him and we agreed to meet for drinks and dinner in Carrol Gardens area of Brooklyn. It was a really nice date, he walked me to the subway where a homeless man proceeded to heckle him to kiss me. We just hugged and then I rode the train with the homeless guy on the way home. He was nice!
We dated for about 8 weeks and then I broke it off because he was moving to Nashville to reset and clear his head. 3+ years later he was a suggested contact on Linked in, I emailed him, we hit it off and were married, bought a house and expecting ds less than 2 years later.
I had been involved in the young adult group at church for a few years. One week i saw this cute guy talking to some of my friends and he was wearing a hoodie with my alma mater on it, so I introduced myself.
Part of the conversation went like this: FH: "what year did you graduate?" Me: "2001, you?" FH: "last year" In that period of my life every guy I met who seemed somewhat normal was significantly younger than me and I was kind of tired of it. He had moved out here to work at the same company my college boyfriend had moved here for, in a similar role. I told him as much. We wrote each other off.
He ended up in the small group Bible study I was in and we got to know each other from a distance. I was always very impressed with him, and he was with me as well. Months went by and we became friends, then started dating.
We dated for about a year, were engaged for 7 months, and moved in together after the wedding
It was weird. I just finished university, had moved back home for a job, was living with my parents. I was bored and lonely and my friends band was really taking off. He had asked me to be a part of his street team promoting shows. That was the only reason I was on MySpace. It was pretty clear from my profile what I was doing.
In my loneliness I was trying to "date" like a proper grown up. I had been a tad bit of a party girl while in university and I was trying to do away with that persona (because seriously who wants to date her)...and had asked friends to set me up. So a few had, one via the Internet, she had introduced me to her friend online. Anyhow those few dates were disastrous. So when this seemingly nice fellow sent me a message on MySpace because he liked my taste in music I was very wary.
We talked for two months before I agreed to meet him. We went to dinner, caught a movie, went to a bar, bumped into some of my friends from highschool, ended up in a coffee shop talking till 2 in the morning. He hugged my goodbye.
By date two I knew I would marry him someday. Six months later we had moved into together, six years later we married, this April (3 days before LO's birthday) we'll celebrate 10 years together, 4 years married.

He was the 1st person I met in law school. He sat by me in orientation. He didn't finish law school. I did. We were just friends until halloween & started dating.
We met in English class in college but he has a twin brother and I never knew which was which. He was engaged, I had a boyfriend. A year later, he had ditched the fiancé, we hung out at a party with mutual friends. Still didn't know which twin he was. He started sending me love emails. I ditched my boyfriend. I moved to Philly for 6 months, we made it long distance. He moved two hours away after he graduated, I was still in school. Made it through that too. We were engaged the summer I graduated college. He moved to where I got a job, we moved in, married a year and a half later.
We met on an anti protestor website (this was when people were protesting Bush's war in Iraq...so protesters protesting protesters) in 2004 (or was it 2003?). I still miss that damn website.
In university. To be more specific, at a frat party. I knew him by reputation. All my sorority sisters would say stuff like, 'Stay away from him', 'he's not a good guy'. I was 18 and intrigued by the 'bad guy'. Turns out he was an amazing guy, so sweet, caring, smart, would go to the moon and back for me. We've been together almost 13 years (married 6 years) and it makes us laugh to think what a bad reputation he had in university. He's the most amazing father and husband.

Eharmony!
I was about 6 months out from a nasty breakup and willing to try anything. I had a few dates, but never felt a spark. When I got matched with DH, I thought for sure he was just trolling. He was handsome, had a good job, seemed to have an active social life. I put him through the ringer with questions before I agreed to go out with him.
When I saw him for the first time, I instantly felt that connection. Our first date lasted about 5 hours. And the rest is history....
Over a game of Scattegories at at youth group thing in high school. We were 14. I made fun of one of his answers. We kind of had a mutual crush but then DH dated someone else most of high school.
In college, I ended up transferring to the same school he went to and we reconnected. Got married right after college. We've survived law school, graduate school, moving out of state, buying a house and finally a baby!

It's kind of bittersweet now for me...
My sister and his cousin worked together. People from their work would go to this restaurant for "Wing Night" on Wednesdays. I started going with my sister and he'd come with his cousin. We were all a big group of friends for a year or so before we started dating. Our first date was on Valentine's Day in 2006 and we got married Valentine's day 2012.
His cousin died a couple years ago and it was heartbreaking. It still is. Not only was he a good friend, but if it wasn't for him, my life would be totally different; I wouldn't have my H, my kids, my house, anything. He never even got a chance to meet our son.

We met in college. We lived in the same dorm my freshman year, he was a sophomore. We Started chatting on AIM (it was 2002) a lot, and I realized I really like him. we hooked up a couple times at frat parties. Then he started inviting me to the frat weekly barbecues and to a frat date night. Eventually we became an item! Moved in together after college. I moved away for grad school a year later and he joined me 6months after that. We got engaged in 2010 and married summer of 2011. Baby #1 November 2012 and baby #2 May 2014.

We met in college. We lived in the same dorm freshman year and were a part of the same group of friends but didn't start dating until 4th year. His fraternity and my sorority were right across the street from each other which was great once we finally got together
+1 more for match.com Although if you ask my parents or anyone in my family, it was a bar. I never thought they would understand so even 9yrs later we still keep it a secret.
This is me! I met DH on Match almost 8 years ago. We (well, I - he didn't care), told people that we met through friends. I just didn't want to get shit from people (I had gotten some from friends when on Match previously). Some people found out the truth right before our wedding - others still don't know, but I'd tell the truth if it came up. I'm long over it.

DH and I met through a mutual friend at the country line dance bar on New Year's Eve. A partners song came on and my friend said I should get his buddy to get on the floor and dance. So I got this guy another beer or two, chatted for a bit, and after I got him good and liquored up I dragged him onto the dance floor with me. It was cute, he was going left as we were all going right, so he was all over the place. Got a New Year's kiss outta him. The next night my car had both headlights out (our mutual friend is a mechanic). Called my buddy hoping he'd bring his cute friend with (DH was staying the weekend with him at the time). They came and fixed my car. We all went out for dinner and drinks and we've been together ever since. Been together for 3 years now. We both say now that the second night we both knew we were gonna get married. It was love at first sight.
We met at work - worked at the same company, but different departments. We both knew our first date that this was "it". A year later he proposed and after 5 months we were married. DS came less than a year later. DH is my best friend and the most amazing man I've ever met.
We met through a guy I was attempting to date. He was the bad boy that just wanted to play the field and said he had a friend to introduce me to. I was upset but kept an open mind. Been together ever since. 10 years and 5 married.

Short story: We met in high school.
Long story: We had a couple of classes together our freshman year of high school, and nobody I hung out with knew who he was, which was pretty odd, because there were only two middle schools in my hometown that fed into the one high school we all went to. I thought he was pretty cute, but he seemed shy, and we didn't really chat until the end of our freshman year, when he decided to join the mock trial team, which I was already on (dork city, I know). He later said that the only reason he joined was because he had a crush on me, which I have to believe, because he was far too cool to ruin his reputation with that nonsense.
Alas, the reason I joined the mock trial team was because I had a crush on another guy who was also on the team. So, all through high school, I had a cliche on-again-off-again relationship with this douchey liar who was a year older, but after we broke up after my junior year, I was done with that dude. I'd always had a crush on DH - he was cute, funny, talented, cute, the best skateboarder in town, smart, cute - but I was way too insecure to risk asking him out and getting rejected (he dated girls who were literally models, and I am not, so there you go). So I told a gossipy friend that I had a crush on DH, who then told his best friend, and in two days' time, it got around to DH and he asked me out on our first date. We went to the movies to see Lucky Numbers (hence the screen name) at the local movie theater and were the only ones in the there. The rest, as they say, is history: prom, college, long-distance, grad school, jobs, and a baby. We are thick as thieves and I absolutely love that man.
IseeyouRN - What a beautiful couple! Does your man look like Paul Rudd? Because it looks like he does in that pic. *Swoon*
We met at an art opening. My best friend knew him through her boyfriend. He had just broken up with his girlfriend of 10 years and I was getting a divorce. I really wasn't looking for anyone, but after that night, I was hooked. We dated for a year and half and then decided to try for baby since he was 45. We got pregnant the second month and married soon after. He is 15 years older than me and I love the age difference.
Also^^^ I don't know if anyone else is married to a twin but it's interesting
I am married to a twin and yes, it's interesting, to say the least. I couldn't tell them apart in the beginning and BIL thought it was hilarious to try to trick me.
They are so attached to each other that sometimes it is irritating. They had never lived apart until DH and I moved in together. So BIL came over to our house unannounced EVERY. DAMN. DAY. Over the years it has gotten much better. When I was pregnant I think I scared him away with my moodiness/bitchiness. Whatever works!

Are you my SIL??? J/k . Ditto to everything you said (they were college roommates with the same major). However, they moved to different cities after, so we don't see him too often. It's still interesting though. Especially since my actual Sil and I don't get along well. It's like, you're twins but the taste in women is quite different!

We live about 15-20 min from BIL and I wish it was more like 1 hour to cut back on the "just stopping by" visits. They have very different tastes in women as well! I am blonde, all-American while BIL always goes for exotic women.

I was with a friend (who I met as a roomate in college) walking to get a drink at a local bar after a day of helping my family paint, so I had on a crappy shirt and paint spattered pants. We ran into my now DH and his best friend who were all dressed up grabbing a drink locally before they went downtown ( my friend had grown up with DH and friend) Anyway I was embarrassed by my scrubby looks so I teased DH to cover my embarrassment. They ended up changing their plans and coming back to my friends house to drink beer. After that night we exchanged numbers, went on a date soon after, moved in after 3 months, got engaged at 6 months and have been married 6 years now, together 7. The funny thing is apparently DH would come party at my college apartment all the time with my friend, I don't remember meeting him at all then.
DH was my brother's randomly assigned roommate in the dorms. My brother is only a year older than me and we have had a lot of the same friends growing up. I went to the same college and was assigned the same building as them. We starting dating about 2 months after I started college. We all lived together the next year. DH and I dated for 2 years, got engaged, and got married a year later.
