We were teenage sweethearts. We met at a football game. I was there with a friend of his. It was  love at first sight for both of us

I met my husband (hes my 2nd husband) on an online dating site in the Summer of 1999.

We were both divorced from our spouses ( each of whom coincidentally cheated on us with someone they met on the internet!). So we could relate what it was like to be cheated on and that helped bring us together I think.

We typed to each other first, we talked on the phone a few times, then we met in person in a public place. Have been together since and got married in January of 2007.

The rest is history! :-)

I met my waterloo in a bowling alley. We both bowled on a league and I wasn't really interested, but I finally broke down and went out with him. I figured he would stop pestering me if I went out ONCE. ha ha. Well we got along and fell in love and we have been together 44 years and married 43 of those.

This thread certainly reinforces my feelings that you don't need to go to great lengths to meet Mr Right. You just go around living your life and he will come along. My Mom met my Dad when she went roller skating with her girlfriends - my Grandmother met my Grandpa because he was her best friend's brother. My DH's parents met when he came to her office to buy insurance - he had to wait so she made him coffee and they talked. One of my Uncles met my Aunt when she was walking down the street and he whistled at her. She came back to slap him & give him a piece of her mind but then she thought he was pretty cute ...the rest is history. I have another Aunt & Uncle who met when they both had to wait in the ER waiting room - he had fallen on ice and his tailbone was very painful and she had sprained her ankle. While they soothed each other in the waiting room ... love happened. This is always a good subject to make conversation when you are somewhere among strangers. I would often use this question when I had a patient who was very critical and their family member was upset, to relax them , just to make conversation, while I worked on their spouse. Boy, did I ever hear some stories.

I met my husband at my niece's Baptism party. He lived in the same apartment building as my sister and her family. He walked in during the evening with a python wrapped around his arms. I met him them but statecraft away from the snake. A few weeks later we were at Belmont Park for an all day outside concert. We really hit it off ( the snake was at home). He tells me he knew that day we would be married. I didn't!! Well we have been married 35  years.

We met  freshman year in college and dated almost continually.  We married the summer after graduation, 1973.

We met in kindergarten (parish school) and were in the same class K-8.  We became an item in 6th grade.  Our mothers made us break up when we went to college.  My mother wanted me to marry someone rich and his mother wanted him to marry an Italian girl.  Much to their dismay, we rekindled our romance the summer after freshman year.  We were married his graduation weekend in the church on campus.  This coming June it will be 46 years.

@Mz iMac  I don't expect juicy details, but would love to hear more how you got your DH away from his fiance on the cruise?  That's wild!

Of course, if you don't want to reply I would totally understand.  It just sounds like an interesting story!

We worked for the same company, but on different floors.  One day, I was getting my boss's mail, he was sitting in the break room having coffee.  He struck up a conversation, and that was it!  I had seen him before, but thought he had a girlfriend.  We had first met at an awards banquet the company held annually, but we were both with other dates.

In a bar on a bet made with my 6 best friends -- bet me I couldn't pick him up (back in the 70s when you could do that without fear) -- well, 42 years later I think he cashed in on the best deal of his life - me on the other hand "have cursed them to this day!" LOL
