I met mine on the Internet. That's why I am really careful about the people I met online.

A twist of irony: my ex just remarried....

to someone she met on line

we met at work
i thought he was the cutest guy ever, once i saw him
still do!

met mine at university, at a social... he was rich and had a car, he offered to drive us home (house mates and i). unfortunately i left my wallet in his car. he thought it was a sign! only ;later he realised it was that i am just forgetful and a mistake.
well i'm more organised now and won't do that again, besides i'm all grown up with a handag!lol :)

I saw mine across a softball field. Didn't know his name, hadn't even spoke to him but I turned to my girlfriend and I said, "I'm going to marry that guy someday". I just knew it somehow. After the game we joined his team at the local bar and the rest was history. I was 25 - we got married 3 years later. Now 20 years after that - we're getting divorced. So sad.

On the internet. And we never met in real life, ever. It was the right approach for both of us though we never directly said so.

At school, she was going out with one of my then friends.....

I used to hike every weekend at a state park in california. One day I went to do that and after finishing went to my favorite picnic bench to watch the stream over the rocks. he was sitting at my picnic bench , I waited for over an hour for him to get up and leave and when he did, I went over and sat down. He came back and with a newspaper . I went to get up and leave and he said please stay, I wouldn't mind the company. He was handsome, had just come to the area , so intelligent, and we talked three hours.. I did not go out with him for another month as he got a job but he called me every day... when he met my children ,, my then 14 yr old said Mom, don't do it, and I wish I had listened, but He was charming , manipulative and I was 36 and weak.. 19 years later and I am so thankful to be out of that mess and recovered from being an enabler.....It took a long time for me to give up on him, but I did it to save myself......he still wants me now... It shows me my resolve to change is working, so if is is a test, I am passing... Kimmee

Sh eworked in retail at a store near where I lived. I started going in all the time and finally got the nerve to ask her out. I guess I should have went to another store.

after a rather non-productive summer and early fall of dating (mostly guys from online), around early November that year I decided I was going to take a break, call it quits for the winter. I had just gotten out of a 9 year relationship the year before and dating was hard!

A friend of my sister's emailed me and asked if I was "dating" some time in November. She was dating a guy that was the lead singer in a local band and one of his friends was asking if she knew any single girls. I was like sure, what the heck - never hurts to meet someone. But because of my previous "non-dating winter" edict, I was pretty ambivalent about it. She exchanged our phone numbers - he called me and we chatted a bit, he seemed nice. The band was playing a show that Saturday after Thanksgiving and we arranged to both be there that night to meet and see how things go.

He was very nice, very jovial and easy to talk to. He was buying me drinks all night and I'm a cheap drunk, so I was getting pretty loaded pretty fast. The band started playing and I was mostly drunk and it was loud and I couldn't hear what he was saying so I leaned in closer to listen and he turned his face and kissed me. I was really shocked but pleasantly so. He called me the very next morning at 10 am and I was really shocked at that... I figured I wouldn't hear from him for at least a few days, if at all. We were pretty much in each other's lives from that point on.

In retrospect, there were so many red flags for me during our courting process - things that I dismissed and shouldn't have, but it's easy to do when the blush of love and discovering someone new is upon you. I'm thankful that I didn't marry him like he wanted. I'm glad I stood up for myself and my wants and needs - even though it ended us.

At the wedding of a mutual friend. I went there with a guy friend just as his date and my ex went stag/alone. I asked him to dance and the rest WAS history.

In the pet store

Was friends with his sister and she kept telling me I had to meet him, but I didn't want to because he was a freshman and I was a sophomore in high school. Finally I agreed and went over just acting goofy and well, that whole time stopped and didn't notice anyone else existed thing happened. Scared the hell out of me and I avoided him for awhile but he kept seeking me out. Found out later he had the same experience when we met.

He was my brothers best friend in the Army. They were home on leave and he helped me move.

My brother and him are no longer friends! LOL

went to a graduation party and was kissing my gf sister (sitting in the grass) when she slipped and fell right in my arms, Seriously no lie, so i kissed her and that was the end love at first kiss.

1st (25yrs and the love of my life) - blind date, 2nd (8yrs, nice guy but not enough motivation) - newspaper personals, 3rd (9yrs) - worked for him.
