There are several ladies here who have met their SO online. If so, what site did you use? How did the rest of you find him/her?
I met FI online on OkCupid. It's hard to believe I found him on a free site since I had paid for so many memberships on other sites like eHarmony and Christian Mingle. I did meet my 2 year relationship ex on CM. :P
I actually met FI bc of my ex. I fully admit to stalking his CM account and saw he noted he moved to OkC. So of course I created a profile to see his. Sidenote: He even had pictures of us posted!!!! Anyway, I ran across FI profile and sent him a message to which he never replied. 6 months later I messaged him again. He was online but didn't reply back so I overreacted and sent him a terse note. Turns out he got online to check my message but it was late so he planned on replying in the morning. We had a bit of a rough start, but we started over and here we are!
FI also met me bc of his Ex. She cheated on him and made him a profile to help him get over her. After he found me, she tried like heII to get him back. B! please. He's mine!!!
Tell me your story?

Re: How did you meet your FI/Husband or Wife?
Shortly after, I ran into his friend at that same dive bar. He invited me to a get together at his place. After everyone left for the night, we stayed up and talked for a few hours. We had a good bit to drink so he offered me his bed while he stayed on the couch but I refused and took the couch. The same thing happened the following evening.
The next week I tried to stay away and not look too eager. We met up again midweek, he came to my place and we fell asleep on the living room floor listening to records (Jeff Buckley, I recall), which was like my ideal fantasy perfect fall in love scenario. At that point we were still playing it as just friends, which only lasted about another week.
He is now my H, and always tells me about how he saw me walking in my little black sundress to meet his friend that first day as he was driving home.
Same thing here Pele. I went on many dates and all had something wrong with them, either socially awkward, but smart, attractive but talked about his ex wife non stop etc.
FI was just perfect. He is a mix of all the good things I had in prior relationships without all the bad. He is amazing.
Penguin, I never had luck with POF. It was full of gross men being vulgar in messages to me. In my experience, OKC was a bunch of smart engineer types that just hadn't found anyone yet and most with a reason why. FI works so much and never gets out to meet anyone ..same as me. We clicked and knew within three months we would be married and he gave me a nice sparkler to prove it. :D
FI and I met at a roller derby bout too!!
FIs sister and I work together and for months she kept telling me she wanted to set me up with him. Worrying it wouldn't work out and things would be awkward between me and FIs sister at work I kept refusing. One day she mentioned try we're coming to my bout and I told her that was great and that I was sure they would have fun. I then realized she was ignoring my refusal and was bringing him with to meet me.
I was wearing fishnets and a tutu. We talked at the after party and he asked for my number. We had our first date a week later and have been inseparable ever since. And now we are forever indebted to FSIL!

Planning Bio
I met FI in high school originally. His friends hung out with someo f my friends. we lived around the corner from each other but never really hung together unless our mutual friends were hanging out. He is 3 years older than me so he graduated years before I did. He went to basic training for the army and then Sept 11th happened adn he was called to active duty and within a few years was sent to Iraq.
During these few years one of our sets of friend sgot married and moved to PA and both of our best friends started dating each other. The four of us would hang out from time to time but I NEVER thought FI was someone I would have dated.
One day I was walking home from work and I was bored and lonely. I looked through my phone and found his number. I sent him a little hello text. We chatted a bit and he asked me what I was doing to next day. I didnt have anything planned sp he thought we should hang out. I thought nothing of it. We were friends. I thought he just wanted to hang out. We went to the movies. I was wearing old jeans and a tshirt because I didnt think it was a date. About halfway through the movie he put his arm around me. I freaked out...on the inside. It took a violent shove into being a date and I wasnt prepared for it.
He dropped me off at home and I ran from the car like it was on fire. He thought he was never going to see me again.
When I got inside I called my friend (who at this point was now engaged to his best friend) I was nearly panicking. I couldnt beleive that I had gone on a date with him. She said why not give it a shot. I thought about it. He was a very different man than what he was in high school. So I took her advice. A year and a half later we were living together and a year after that we are were engaged. I have never been so compatible and comfortable with another person. He is amzing.
