One day during the summer before I started high school, my sister and bff talked me into going ice skating instead of the mall like I wanted.
These guys were there playing hockey and started showing off for us. One of them was DH.
We actually exchanged numbers and AOL names (haha, aww the year 2000) with his friend after he left. Unfortunately this friend was more of an acquaintance who did not know his number.
It was actually a couple of months later when we went back and he was again there playing hockey that we exchanged numbers with each other.
High school sweethearts though we went to different schools.

He was a volunteer for the after-school tutoring program I worked for in college. I actually didn't like him at all when we first met. He was always playing with the kids instead of helping them with their homework and it would make me so mad. Well about a year after I was moved to a different site, we started talking on Facebook. I kept blowing him off until my roommate took pity on him and told me either I went on a date with the poor guy or she would. We've been together ever since. That was 5 years ago.
College. We were in a 3 part chemistry series together. The first quarter, I had a lab partner who was awful. The second quarter, since I'd seen him joking with the teacher and goofing off and still doing well and chemistry isn't my forte, plus he'd been nice to me, so I asked if he'd be my lab partner.
I didn't know that he was about to have a heart attack because I sat next to him and almost fell out of his chair when I asked him, because he'd had a crush on me the first quarter.
Aww I like this GTKY. I've been snippy with DH lately and this gave me all sorts of warm fuzzies toward him.
Through a mutual friend in grad school. We became pretty good friends throughout the year and started dating towards the end of it. We joke about it now because when we first started dating, it was about 2 months before I was going to graduate and move back across the country, and he was just out of a relationship, so neither of us was looking for anything serious. Here we are, 8 years and 2 kids later...
At a party. I moved back to the states to a city where I didn't know anyone and was trying to make friends. We were friends for almost a year before we got together
Online dating through Yahoo Personals (which is part of Match.com now). I wasn't meeting anyone in real life and he was new to the area. Ten years later here we are.

A mutual friend invited me to a rugby tournament. I was watching a few of the matches and after the game he came over and said "I like your dog..." And here we are 5 years to the day, he proposed on the rugby pitch at the same tournament!
Awwww such good memories on this sleep deprived morning
Our college ski and snowboard club. We got all of our college partying out of our systems being friends and flirting. Once that phase was over, we decided to start dating.
We met on Plentyoffish.com. I had just broken up with my ex fiance a couple months ago and after a weekend with a girlfriend of mine decided to sign up for the website. I got a few messages the night I signed up, including one from DH.
We talked online and via text for a week or so then decided to meet in person. We've been together ever since.
We met in high school through a mutual friend. I had a crush on him before I even met him. He was a couple years older and a "popular guy." I didn't think there was any way he'd be interested. Turns out he was. It's been 15 years (and 3 kids) and I'm still so thankful to have him in my life.
DH went to high school with my sister. We became friends (outside of his friendship with my sister) right before he moved for school. We were friends for about 5 years and ended up both in our hometown again - he had become a chiropractor and moved back to work in his father's practice & I was at my parents' for the summer before senior year of college. We started dating thinking it was just a fling - at the end of the summer I actually asked him to be my boyfriend & he said no, I needed to enjoy my senior year of undergrad not deal with a long distance relationship, but I left & he came to visit a couple weeks later instead of breaking up, and here we are 5 years together, 3 years married.
We were in the same program but didn't really know each other. We met randomly at a bar after exams finished. We ended up going back to my place and yada, yada, yada....here we are 12 years later!

I can't really say how we "met," since we lived in the same town and about 5 miles away from each other our whole lives. We went to the same high school even though he was 4 years older than me. One time at a high school party he told me I was pretty. But I was never interested in him. Throughout high school and a couple years after, I was busy dating a cheating d-bag.
But we did work together and sort of got to know each other. He was dating someone else at the time too and I would ask him for advice on my terrible relationship, haha. I befriended his sisters, who I also worked with, and I was friends with them for years. They hated his gf, and so did I. They used to come into my work together and I actually started disliking him as well because of his gf (she used to come in and expect freebies because his sisters worked there).
Then I was 20 and single, and he was 23 and single. Suddenly he was really, really cute. Everytime I would hang out with his sisters I would secretly hope he would be there. Then one time he was and we flirted and slept next to each other but nothing ever happened.
Shortly after was his sister's 21st birthday and we rented a party bus to NYC. We were having drinks and flirting. When we got to the destination we all got off the bus, but I realized right after I forget my wallet. So we both turned around and the rest of the party crossed the street. I grabbed my wallet, then we tried catching up, but got caught in the middle of the highway and couldn't cross the street yet to join the rest of them. That's when we had our first kiss, and the rest of the party was looking on, cheering! I think they were all rooting for us to get together.
Now, almost 5 years later, here we are! Baby in tow and set to get married in October! We did things a little backwards.
In college. I became friends with a girl he knew really well in High school. He came to say hi to her at a basketball game (we think. it was possibly baseball) and then he friended me on FB and we started chatting on AIM. We dated for a few months then broke up but stayed friends. He actually asked me for advice about his subsequent girlfriends. A year and a half after we broke up he asked me, as a friend, to go to a football game with him and we have been together ever since. 9 years since we started dating almost 4 yrs married.
The first time we started dating, he never asked me out he just asked me to be in a relationship on FB. I still make so much fun of him for that.
I met dh the first day of pharmacy school orientation. He was walking up the classroom aisle and I thought he was really cute. I made sure to grab a seat close to his. Our class tended to sit in the same seats every day, so eventually we became friends. I was still interested in partying and he was never into that so dating wasnt going to work. About 18 months later, though, I had settled down and we started to get closer. Finally one night, while we were watching NHL playoff games and movies with some friends, he kissed me. He ended up staying until 6 am until the last person left just to do that. We went on our first date a week later.
We meet when I was in junior high at a fencing club. He was a friend of my first boyfriend, and he asked me out after my ex broke up with me, but with not being over my ex and trouble at home, I never made the date.
We stayed friends and in high school we went to a dance together at my school, but after school he joined the military. I wrote to him while he was in basic and when he went overseas. We started dating when he was home for a month, then he tried to break up with me when he was leaving to go to another state, he didn't want a long distance relationship. I told him no, nine years later here we are with our sweet baby boy.

Samesies! We met on POF after I had broken up with an ex fiancé.
I blew him him off a few times ... Then he sent me a text that made me laugh (I thought you were supposed to play hard to get AFTER we met), and we met that night. Inseparable ever since.
We met in elementary school. Grade 3. We were friends and had the same group of friends all of our lives but we didn't start dating until we were 30... 22 years after we met haha. We ran off and got married 6 months after that!
We met at the university. I was sittning in the cafeteria with a mutual friend who knew that he liked me. So he said "When F comes through the door, ask him to come sit next to you!" I thought it was I joke, but did it anyway, and man, did DH blush! It was so sweet. So I kinda started to like him just because I knew he liked me, haha. A month later he left for a 6 mo around-the-world trip that he had been planning for a long time. We couldn't really let go so we decided to try for long distance while he was away. There were a lot of emails and expensive phone calls, but we made it work.
Since then we have both left the other at home to take longer trips, first him 3 mo to Bolivia for his master thesis and then me 4 mo to China for mine. Of the 7 1/2 years we've been together, we have been in different countries for a total time of a year Nowadays when we travel, we bring the other one with us!
We both we working at a day camp as our summer job after our senior year of high school. I flirted with that boy all summer (he did not pick up on this whatsoever) only to find out he had a girlfriend of 2 years. When we came back the next summer to work the girlfriend was gone and we've been together for 10 years this June
We've known each other since middle school. We were in the same group of friends but were never close.
Because it was even a story by the priest who married us, who was also in our group of friends and I even went to my 8th grade dance with: in high school DH had a steady girlfriend Jamie. We were all friends etc. after a dance we usually went to my friends house after and stayed the night. (Her mom was there and we were all pretty trustworthy). DH was kinda drunk at like 3 am and he Would NOT shut up! Everyone was done with him. I actually yelled at him and threw a shoe at him. Yeah...
Then after high school DH got closer to our mutual friend who's wife is my bff. So we got closer and ya know ... He grew up!
We had started dating by the time of our 5 yr reunion, and everyone was like really?! You guys... Even like a year later people who know us then didn't believe us as a couple. It was kind of funny. In a few weeks we will be married 8 yrs and together for 14... (Which I just did that math-- umm.. Wow)

I've known him my whole life. His older sister actually babysat me for one summer when I was about 5. We didn't start dating until I was 19 (he was 25).
His sister and my sister were friends and roommates in college. I always thought he was handsome from her family pictures. at the time I lived two hours away and he was in high school. When I transferred to my university he started going there that year too. Our sisters threw a party for us to meet. We flirted all night and slept next to each other but the next morning we didn't talk so I thought he didnt like me. But then he IM'd me that night and... our next dating anniversary will be 10 years together. 5 years married and two kids and still going strong.
I was introduced to him by a mutual friend during my sophomore year in college. We were friends at first and had a crush on him.....I didn't even know that he liked me also until our friend told me. After that, we started dating and been together for 13 years (married for 7 years).

We teach together. I can't remember exactly when we met, but I didn't like him at first. He is five years younger than I am, so when we first met, he was a new teacher and I was a mother of two going through a divorce. We were in two different worlds.
We started hanging out in the same group that would go out together and drink. One of the other girls in the group was in love with my DH (he didn't have a clue and she was married...that is a whole different long story, but work is a little awkward when she is around).
Our "first date" didn't go well. He asked me to go have drinks after work one Friday. This was common since we would go drinking with our work group often. He did not specify it would be a date, so I thought it was a typical group outing and brought my best friend from work. We drank quite for hours and interrogated DH as to why he didn't have a girlfriend because he was such a good guy. Finally my BF asked him if he was gay and told him that we would still love him if he was (this was prompted because DH never really dated because he was a nerd in high school and didn't know how to approach girls). Needless to say, he didn't return my texts and calls for a couple of weeks.
Luckily, we got through it and began dating a few months later. We ended up getting engaged exactly one year after that horrible first date at the same place we went for that horrible first date.
