"We met online."

Another cute story about my parents.
My dad was friends with my mum's brother, and mum's brother kept telling my mum that he had a friend she had to meet.
Kept saying "If he's a friend of yours, I don't wanna meet him" {lol}

On my mum's (23rd I think) bday, she went bowling with her friends and then to the bar {local bar} My dad walks by, my mum sees him and says "nice ass" and her brother says "Hey, wanna meet him?"
She jokes he wore ugliest outfit - it was 1984 for reference - and he bored her when she made unfortunate mistake of asking what he did as job.

Funny story about 2 friends. They went to high school, didn't date, didn't even really know each other. Even sat at the same table for prom!
Didn't end up hooking up until almost 5 yrs ago {5yrs in Feb} I always laugh at that story

I can do one better. H and I went to the same elementary school, middle school and high school. We grew up 6 blocks from eachother and had a ton of mutual friends. He actually used to come to my high school lacrosse games to watch other friends play. But we never met or had even heard of each other. 

We met drunk at a bar 7 years after I graduated HS.

I met my DH on the couch in his living room. 

I was friends with his brother whom I worked with.  He had invited me and few others over and my DH walked through the door to his own parents house.  He came over, introduced himself and then work stalked me for three weeks before his brother asked me over again for a New Years Day Party, again he came home and we chatted a bit...I thought he was cute so at the end of the evening his brother gave me a hug goodbye and when DH walked me to the car I said "Your brother gave me a hug, what are you going to give me?" Then I pecked his lips and ran away.  Our first date was two days later we haven't been apart since.

We met online too.  It was Match.  I can barely keep up with most of the dating websites/apps now.  A co-worker does Bumble - I had no idea what it was when she starting telling me about it! 

The LW and her SO have been going out for a month and are serious.  Who cares how they met?  They are happy and good for each other.

*Barbie*

we met on Match. my parents found out at our rehearsal dinner, and were a little pearl clutchy. (keep in mind, we met in 2004 and got married in 2006, so this was in the early days of internet dating). we had just told our parents that we met at college and had friends in common. 

^^^ this is funny, because when i went on a crusade to get my sister to find a bf, mom was fully supportive of the online thing. sister's now on her 2nd 2 year relationship from match - my guess is she'll marry this one.
