It's time for a GTKY!

Fun sidebar: MIL was my 5th grade schoolteacher. Fast forward 11 years and her son is introducing me as his girlfriend. He's 7 years older than me. Before I was officially (re)introduced I kept freaking out that she wouldn't be able to think of me as anything other than her 9 year old student! Turns out my ILs were just so happy DH didn't marry his super bitch ex fiancé - she made my transition into the family a lot easier! Thanks, bitch!

Lol! My parents are both teachers and my dad taught DH (and me). So I totally get that.

I love reading these!

We made out at a bar during college, lol. It was the end of my junior year and the end of his senior year, just about 8 years ago. It turned out he was graduating a semester late (to get your CPA license, you need more credit hours), so we started dating soon after we first met and boom that was it!

This is so similar to us! Made out at a bar a month before he graduated and I was a jr. Dated champaign to Chicago for a year then I moved to Chi after graduation. Been together for 6 years

Yup, I'm 30. AIM was the best! Especially when you were procrastinating (college school work).

We met on match.com. I'd broken up with my ex a few months prior, a friend of mine met her BF on match, so I decided to browse. I saw my H's profile, signed up for a free trial just so I could message him. We exchanged AIM screen names (I'm also 30) and started talking. I canceled my free trial and never paid a dime for match.

Turns out we lived within 5 minutes of each other, he was a year ahead of me in high school (2000+ students, we never met) and our moms had worked together in the past.

The rest is history!

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

OOOOH DH and I are also 5 years to the day today congrats!

DH and I met at a party. My (Greek) housemate was throwing a party but then had a fight with his gf and had to leave last minute. He hadn't actually bought or prepared anything for it yet so when he asked my other housemate and I to throw it for him it was a bit chaotic DH came with his twin brother, apparently I was the first person in their life who didn't realise they were twins. My bad

[mamabutt2]

Um...we met at Walmart Lmao!

Seriously though. He worked for Coca-Cola as a merchandiser and I worked for Walmart on their Inventory Control Team. I apparently caught his eye about 2 weeks before he got the courage to actually talk to me lol

He would take his lunch break on my first 15 minute break of the day, so he asked me to meet him at the Subway in the store to keep him company. We talked and exchanged numbers. When I went back to work I got a text from him asking me out on a picnic date for the next day. He said he was too shy to do it in person haha It makes me laugh now because DH is not the least bit shy. Ever!

We had our picnic, went and watched Fast 5 (my choice, which of course he LOVED) and then ended the night on my apartment balcony talking and watching the thunderstorm roll in.

We've been pretty inseparable ever since. It'll be 4 years together and 1 year married next month.

Love this thread!!! DH and I met in high school while doing the musical "little shop of horrors", I was in the chorus and he was a techie. He still works in theatre 16 years later.

[xoxolicia]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this thread.

DH and I met 2 weeks into college. Me and two girls from my dorm were scoping out hot guys because we had a brilliant idea to make a hot guys calendar and make money. DH was "the hot guy from psychology class". I saw him in line at the food court, and stood behind him in line so my friends could take "my" picture, but they were being slow in another food line. After he got his food, I stopped him by asking, "aren't you in my psychology class?" Turns out he had noticed me, and also lived in the dorm next to mine that had a pool table in the lounge. So we all started hanging out, playing pool until way to late at night. Two weeks later I asked him if he wanted to "date" and he said yes. That was 13 years ago, and we have been together ever since (married for almost 7 years).

Unfortunately, my two girl friends liked him too, and stopped being friends to me after DH and I got together. Oh well, their loss.

We met at Scottish country dance lessons for the Montreal St. Andrew's Society Ball and ended up being dance partners. We lost touch just because of his finishing law school and my doing undergrad. We both wanted to date each other. My last semester of undergrad was when we got back in touch and started dating and the rest is history.

Online dating- OkCupid. Spent so much money over the years on match and eharmony so it figures I met the one on a free site.

This. Okcupid.

[greenpony33]

The first time we met it was at a bar, I was with some girlfriends and he was with some guys. He actually asked for the number of one of my friends. But a friend of mine and a friend of his started hanging out after that and that's when we really got to know each other. He always says 'oh you didn't think you would marry the guy who was peeing in the parking lot that night right?' lol

[mmarie]

Aww I love this! It really does help to think of this kind of stuff when you want to choke him!

We met a work. We were both with other people at the time. we got to know each other and then after a few months my bf cheated on me so I broke up with him. Then a few months after that, he broke up with his gf. 2 weeks later, a bunch of people from work were at his house for a new years eve party and that is when we had our first kiss! 6 and a half years, 2 dogs, a house, and a baby later, we will be getting married in june!
