He dated my best friend in HS, then disappeared into the military and got married (not to my friend), had a baby, got divorced... Reconnected in FB 15 years later, he was visiting family in our town, so we decided to have a playdate. He flew back to Germany the next day with big plans to start a new job... packed up and moved back to our town a week later and we are engaged now, 4 years later
Back in the days of messenger, he was deployed in Iraq and looking for chicks in the area where he would be going after his tour. I left my messenger on overnight and when I woke up I had a message from him, he saw my picture in my profile and liked what he saw I guess. I kind of had a thing for military guys so I wrote back. He is in IT so he had above average access to computers and phones and we started talking every day. He came to the states about 4 months later, I picked him up from he airport and we've been together about 8.5 years now.
i met exH in high school. well, actually, probably middle. it was a small town, everyone moved in the same circles, etc. but we didn't start dating until a few weeks after high school graduation.
current bf i met at cub scouts. we're both parents to 8 year-old bear cubs. lol.
My cousin set us up on a blind date. Cousin and Fi were friends in high school and met up again at a reunion. She said she had a "moment" as she was talking to him that he would be perfect for me.
He was my bartender, which turned into a casual friendship, which turned into a close friendship, which then turned into a whole lot more than I ever anticipated.
We were introduced by a mutual friend during college. I was drunk, and he was not. (It was during a monday night football game.) I was obnoxious, and he hated me. I also didn't like him. But as he was leaving the place we were all hanging out at, I realized he was really cute, and ran up to him, and asked for his number. He reluctantly gave it to me with instructions NOT to call, only text. I called him about 30 min later, and asked if he wanted to go to a movie the next night. For some reason, he said yes. When we hung out the next night, both sober, apparently I was much easier to handle, and he liked me much more. After that we started dating, and became exclusive about 3 weeks later.
DH & I met through mutual friends in grad school. We were 26 & 27 (I am 9 mos older). We talked @ party & he cyber stalked me on FB for several months before e-mailing me to see if I wanted to GTG. He was likely drunk both times since he was scared of girls back then. DH is basically Raj from Big Bang Theory: an Indian PhD who is scared of women & likes Grasshoppers or Mojitos to drink.
