MJJean Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I was in the deepest and darkest depression of my life. I was in a miserable sham of a marriage, on my way out, and just wanted to sit at home with ice cream, sweat pants, and some horror movies. I had a close male friend who thought I needed to go out and cheer up. So, he came over and insisted I get dressed and we go to a goth club we were fond of back then. While there, I was staring off into space and he was chatting with people around him. I waited what seemed like a decent amount of time and turned to my friend to ask if he minded taking me home. My friend was talking to someone and the second I looked at the guy my friend was talking to, I just knew. I fell in love at first sight. Literally. It was crazy. I didn't even think it was possible to feel that way, especially about someone I hadn't even talked to yet! Within 3 months we'd started dating, declared love for each other, and planned to get married as soon as I was legally free to do so. We've been together 15.5 years. Married for 12.5 of those years. Still crazy about each other. Or maybe because of each other. Hmmm. Probably both. I'm currently waiting for him to come home from work so I can pounce on him!
MoreAmore Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 We were competing in the same athletic event. He asked me a question about another event from my shirt, and we ended up chatting for hours and planning to go to a future one together.

Dybbuk Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I always used to dream about having a cute 'meeting' story with my partner (like you see in the movies) but alas OLD. Hahaha! Not much to tell. A message appeared in my inbox on OKCupid. It was more than 2 words. Everything spelled correctly (ooh lala). Referenced my profile... I thought what the hell. Hit reply. We emailed back and forth for 2 weeks. Thought maybe he wasn't interested since who takes 2 weeks to ask a girl out?! I thought about sending a 'thanks but no thanks, not looking for a penpal.' Stuck with it, and he asked me out...finally. We met for coffee. During an email conversation where we asked each other about our worst habits, I admitted one of mine was being late. So our first date... I was 30 mins late. Hit some bizarre Saturday afternoon 2o'clock traffic. Parked, and then proceeded to walk in the wrong direction to the wrong coffee place. Finally made it to the date all sweaty and gross (Outdoor mall boo). Was pretty damn sure I was lucky he offered to pay for my iced tea considering he thought he got stood up for half an hour. But... he was incredibly understanding. Kind. Even more gorgeous in person. Funny. Articulate. Surprisingly it seemed like things were going well. He offered to take me to lunch and so I accepted. At the end of the date we exchanged phone numbers and side hugged in the most platonic way possible. LOL. 10 months later he's my first true love. First guy I can honestly say I would do anything for (in reason... ). My rock, my friend. I'm on time to stuff when it comes to him (most of the time). He's the best thing that ever happened to me, so I don't mind that it just started with 2 sentence email.
d0nnivain Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I met DH in a bar at a business networking event. The night before our wedding, we had a group of our friends meet us there for a drink where it all began!

understand50 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 At my mother's house, when I was 16. She was my elder sister friend. We started dating, because my sister told her, and me, we could not date. That worked out well.............
Gottabestrong Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Online. He was terrible at communicating (would only send two word answers, took days to answer and did not ask any questions) and I was convinced he was not interested in me. He did mention in his first message however that he had lived at a place I used to live at for a while and I wanted to meet him only to reminisce and talk about the old neighborhood. So I kept up the conversation and even asked him if he wanted to meet for coffee (instead of waiting for him to ask me out, which I normally did). Well, we met and here we are a year and half later about to move in together in a few days. P.S. Turned out he was just terrible at online dating, not disinterested. Therefore I advise any woman to wait for a face-to-face meeting before she makes up her mind about a guy.
MJJean Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 On an erotic adult social networking site and online community I met my husband on a BDSM website. I know a couple that's been together for over 7 years who met on AdultFriendFinder. I know another couple together a little over 5 years who met on PlentyOfFish. I recently went to a fetish community munch and there was a couple there who met on a fetish/BDSM site something close to 10 years ago. Surprising how many successful couples are meeting online compared to what people used to think on relationships that began online. Remember back when people would be stunned or look askance if they found out you met online? They'd wonder things like "WTF is wrong these people couldn't meet the normal way..." and now it's so common people don't even blink anymore. We emailed back and forth for 2 weeks. Thought maybe he wasn't interested since who takes 2 weeks to ask a girl out?! I thought about sending a 'thanks but no thanks, not looking for a penpal.' Stuck with it, and he asked me out...finally. Online.

Turned out he was just terrible at online dating, not disinterested. Therefore I advise any woman to wait for a face-to-face meeting before she makes up her mind about a guy. I met mine in person and have a similar story! I practically threw myself at the man! I was so painfully obvious it was pathetic. I might as well have worn a sign that said "Take me, you fool!" and....nada! Just about when I'm thinking of giving up, one of DH's friends and I take a turn making a trip to the bar for the whole group we were with. The friend asks me out. I politely decline. He asks why I declined. So, I told him that I was interested in DH. Later that night, DH's group goes to a 24hr Coney place and friend tells DH that I turned him down because I was interested in DH. Turns out, DH isn't very socially savvy and totally did NOT realize I was actually interested in him despite my best and very obvious efforts. The next Wednesday, DH called and asked me out for the coming Saturday. I met him at the usual club and we had a few friends with us. He sat near me, but didn't say much and never made a move. I thought I mistook him and he just wanted to be friends. Then I started chatting with his friend, I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned my head and he kissed me. Some of the greatest guys out there seem to be a bit clueless. Never assume a guy isn't interested. Ask. Otherwise, you might miss out.

I concur!!! It's funny how you almost convince yourself it isn't going to work and somehow magically that's the one relationship that does work out!
2.50 a gallon Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I had just moved back to my home town three months prior. It was July and after getting off work at midnight it was still hot. In order to get a cool one for the ride home I stopped at a convenience store for an iced soda. A new girl was on duty that night. First thing I noticed was that she had a face I could kiss forever, with long hair cascading down her back. As I went to the back of the store, I got a better look, Oh, that body and OH them Legs. You know how it is you can never say the right thing at the right time. Now I am delaying looking over the choices, trying to come up with a clever first line. I draw a total blank. Thirst over came me, so I headed to the cash register. Then just as I reach for my old wallet it explodes, phone numbers, bills, credit cards every where. Very embarrassing. Out of the blue, I said, "I know you have been agonizing over what to buy me for Christmas. Well it looks as if a new billfold would be just the thing" That totally caught her off guard and cracked her up. She was still laughing with tears in her eyes when I left. That was almost 25 years ago, and she cherishes that she can remember the first words I ever said to her.
GorillaTheater Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I was barely 18, had just graduated from high school, and was working that summer as a pipefitters/welders helper at a chemical plant on the southeast side of Houston. One of the guys there about my age invited me to a beach house on Galveston that his dad had rented for the week, and we got there late on Friday. When I woke up, I'll be damned if his 16-year-old sister and a bunch of her friends weren't there, too. This bombshell was one of them, and the first time I laid eyes on her she was wearing some itty-bitty bikini. Holy crap! That was 35 years ago, 31 years of marriage ago, and 8 kids ago.
