I met H on match.com. We chatted online for a while & eventually exchanged numbers and talked on the phone. We lived in neighboring towns, so we picked a day (and a public place, haha) and met up. There was a spark right away and it was amazing. I may or may not have been a slutty, slut, slut and put out on the first night. Hahaha We met in February and I was knocked up by July! (Oops) and we got married that same December.

We met my freshman year of college, H was a sophomore. We had a mutual friend who lived on my floor and H was always around visiting him. He had a girlfriend at the time and I wasn't looking to settle down. I actually thought he was odd. 2 years later, I needed help in a class and asked our mutual friend who told me H would do a better job helping me. So I asked H for help and we started "seeing" each other. Didn't officially start dating until 6 months later right as he was about to graduate and head to schooling for the Navy, but we weren't ready to call it quits. We were married in June 2009, 3 years after we started dating.
My husband and I also met on match.com 16.5 years ago. We emailed for 3 months and then talked on the phone for a month before we ever met in person. It ended up that we lived only 10 miles apart, he lived across the street from the hospital where we were both born, and just blocks from where I worked at the time. I was 21, he was 34 and for our first date he picked me up at my parents' house (I still lived at home)and we went to the drive in. We couldn't get further apart from each other and still be in the same vehicle and the movie (Patch Adams) actually melted so we sat there and talked for a long time. He called me the next day and we went out again. Six weeks after we met he went off to officer candidate school for 6 weeks and I took care of his cats.
We met when we were 17. We went to the same high school and had some mutual friends, but we had never met before. We sat near each other on a bus; we were both on our way to see RENT in San Francisco. We flirted a bit, and he asked for my number. I had never given my real number to anyone before. We hit it off right away and have been together a long time (16 years - married almost 9).

We met at a toga party in 2006. We started dating 8 months later. We became friends right away but I had just broken up with a d bag and wanted some time to be single.
We met is an archery class in college. I thought he was cute and annoying.we both arrived early each day and I was reading a book and he kept talking to me.
H and I met at work. He says I initially liked him right away but I didn't think so, but I probably did subconsciously. I just was trying not to go there because it was work. We lived near each other and he offered to drive my friend and I to happy hour thing. There ended up being a cover, which is super weird bc it was the suburbs but there was a fight on. He paid for all of our covers before I even had a chance to register what was going on. I just thought what a gentleman and I was completely sold on him. We started dating that night.
H & I met in Aruba. We were both on vacation as a college graduation gift. He was with his parents, I was with 7 of my sorority sisters. One of my sisters called dibs on him, but we became friendly and since we found out we lived an hour apart we exchanged numbers (& AIM screen name ). We hung out a week later and the rest is history.
We went to the same high school. I transferred to the school freshman year and we started "going out" shortly after I got there for about a year. Then we broke it off because he was pretty much a dbag. Then after we graduated we somehow started talking again (I'm not even sure how). I had moved 8 hours away, and I agreed to come visit for a couple weeks. I really just wanted to see my friends but he wanted me to come just for him. Well needless to say, we rekindled whatever it was we had before and we've been together ever since. The first 3 years were long-distance, and then we moved in together back where he lived. We were married 2 years later, and we are about to celebrate our 3 year anniversary on the 21st ?

We were also a match.com meet! We emailed for about a month before we went on our first date and we hit it off right away. I think we both knew right away.

Hubby and I met on eharmony in 2010. We hit it off immediately and have pretty much been together since the first date. We got married Oct 2012. I think what drew me to his profile was that he was into music. I'm really into Pearl Jam. Traveled all over the country and even Canada to see them. He's that way with the band Phish.

Dh and I met when we were 18 & 19. I went to stay with friends in a lake town for the summer and got a job at the local buckle (clothing store) dh started working there two weeks after me. He had a gf left over from high school and so we would just talk at work. About six months later we were both available and went on our first date. That was 8.5yrs ago now!

My BFF and I had been invited to a party at a bach pad, and DH was the owner of the host house. I thought he was hot but dumb; he was dating someone else. They broke up soon afterward and we started talking on FB chat, then the phone, then for real dating. We dated for exactly 1 year before getting married, and we've been married for just over 5 years

DH and I met randomly a a bar/lounge that had just opened. I was on a "break" with my college BF at the time so I gave him my number, but I got back with my BF and we stopped talking. A year later I was moving back home and actually commented on an FB photo and he messaged me. He asked me out and we were pretty much inseparable since. We got engaged a year later and have been married a little over 3 years.

We met in a liquor store on New Year's Eve. He was with a friend of mine, so we chatted for a bit. He invited me to a party, I thought he was hot, and I'd been in a funk since breaking up with my long term boyfriend that Thanksgiving. So I pretended I had no plans. I called my actual date for the night, told him I was too sick to go to the roof party we'd been planning on, and liquor store boy and I had a great night. We hooked up for a few weeks, our son was born later that year, and we got married about a year after that. All praise cab franc.
And I'm sure my date figured out I wasn't going to call him back eventually.
H & I met in college through mutual friends at a party when I was a freshman and he was a junior. We started dating soon after and dated for 4 years, we've been married for 6.
I had just moved across country for college and my roommate and I were wandering around downtown. SO was playing guitar on the street and my roommate wanted to talk to him. I told her she was crazy. We kept walking around, but couldn't find anything to do so we ended going back to see him. We spent so long sitting with him that we missed the last bus back to the dorms. He gave us a ride back (and his number). That was 10 years ago next month.

We met at work. He actually kept the sign in sheet I used when I came in for an interview and proposed with it two years later to do the day. I had a boyfriend when we started working together, but we eventually broke up and then I started dating MH.

We met on the first day of our PhD program 5 years ago. We were both wary of dating a fellow student right off the bat in a small, 7-year program, but that resolve lasted about 2 weeks. We went out for coffee, which turned into an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet, which turned into a walk home. The rest is history!

Mutual friends. His friend and my friends were going to the movies together. His friend invited him and my friends invited me. It wasn't even to set us up, but we hit it off immediately. We all started hanging out as a group and 2 months after we met he asked me out. Best first date ever. And now we're approaching 6 years together, 4 years married.

DH and I are another match.com couple. He sent me an email where it was clear he had actually read my profile, I responded. That led to a phone call, which led to a date, and now here we are! We've been together for 4 years, married for 1.
We met on eharmony. It was not love at first sight....we became instant friends but were on again off again for the first 6 mo. He had some major life events during that time which contributed. Once he committed though, he was all in. Together for just over five years, married for three.
I met SO on eharmony, we've both been married before, and had both been on way to many first dates that year. We hit it off immediately over email/text, and even more so once we met. We didn't kiss on our first date, which drove me crazy. We met up the next day and had the most magically daytime kiss after lunch. We've been going strong ever since, and are getting married this coming Saturday!

Love reading these stories. Good GTKY!
I "officially" met MH at a work party. I was 22, and 6 long island iced teas in before I approached him. I told him he was cute and looked familiar. He then responded by saying we, in fact, worked together. Oops haha. I never noticed him (large company).
I knew he was the one when I tried to kiss him that drunken night, and he said he would rather our first kiss be a sober one. That was almost 8 years ago. We've been married for 4.
*FYI, the night I met him was the drunkest I have ever been. Ever.
