How did you meet your SO?

behsco90 · May 2013

After lurking for many months I decided maybe I should start posting.

Anyways, I love hearing how couples met. How did you meet your BF/GF/FI/DH?

As for me, I met my BF while we were both working at a retail store. We were friends for 5 years and best friends for the last 2 of those years. He started dating a coworker and I realized I was jealous. Fortunately things didn't work out between them and one night we finally got things out in the open.

We've been together for a little over a year now. An engagement is probably in the near-ish future but the timing is all up to him :-)

I met BF at a rodeo when we were in HS. We both showed livestock for our schools FFA chapter. I had accidentally taken his seat under our school's tent and instead of telling me I had stolen it he plopped down in the seat with me and that was it! I followed him around like a puppy dog (ah, to be 15 again) for the rest of the week and we became friends who met in between classes. Typical awkward high schoolers!

We've been together for six years now! I doubt we're getting enagaged anytime soon, but we did agree to move in together next August after he graduates from his undergrad and I'm about to start my last semester/getting ready for grad school.

I think it's adorable that y'all were best friends and it turned into love. It's so sweet!

SQUEEEE!!!! When did I miss this??

H and I met in a student spirit organization. He was the president, I was a new member. I dated his best friend for a week, realized I was crazy about him instead, broke up with friend thinking it was the fair thing to do, resigned to be forever alone. H ended up expressing he was interested, but we didn't want to screw over his bff. BFF got upset anyways and he and I have been together for a little more than 3.5 years. Got married 3.5 weeks ago.

BF and I met when we were freshmen in college. It was our first week on campus and some girls on my floor were talking about a cute boy they had met who lived on the floor below us. I said we should go see if he wanted to do some random activity that was going on that week. When we were knocking on that guy's door BF and his roommate came out because they thought we were knocking on their door. We hit it off immediately and were inseparable from almost the moment that we met. We were dating less than a month later and have been together ever since!

ETA: Lamarrs - that is so exciting that you are talking about moving in together!

H and I meet at a mutual friend's birthday party in HS. He thought I was cute and I thought he was too. A month later I had a college class with said friend's BF who happened to be texting H. I, being a huge flirt; flirted with H over text through the BF until the BF gave H my number. We went out the next day and the rest is history. That was over 4 and a half years ago.

These are always fun stories!

BF and I met about six years ago during our freshman year of college. We were in the same English class, but the first time we remembered talking was on a retreat for an honors group we were in. We ended up in the same group to do some kind of skit. The skit absolutely sucked because we were goofing off and flirting instead of working on it. Everyone in the group ended up becoming our some of our best friends, and we were the closest pair of all.

BF says it took him three weeks to fall for me after that - I guess he had to make sure, lol. 7 or 8 months later he finally asked me out, and he was soooooo scared! Awkwardness ensued, but thankfully didn't last long, and here we are almost five years after that first date.

Y'ALL NEED TO STOP BEING SO CUTE. And it was nice that you guys were considerate. That's never an easy situation to deal with!

And you didn't miss it! We decided about three weeks ago at brunch... where we also decided we're going to (attempt) to travel to Europe next year for a few weeks around the time of our seven year anniversary.

Thank you! We had never really talked about it since we were having fun living with our own friends and then it just came up and we decided it's the next natrual step forward in our relationship... it's almost like we'll be adults. Haha.

NEVER!

We tried so hard to be considerate... BFF didn't see it that way. They ended up not talking to each other for 6 months but reconciled soon after. He and I reconciled about two months before we got engaged and he was a groomsmen (one of my favorites) in our wedding.

SQUEEEEE TRIP TO EUROPE!!!!!!

loves2shop4shoes · May 2013

H and I met at Boston University Orienation in July of 2007. He was my Student Advisor (upperclassman student who helps you pick your classes). I was his Transfer Student. We started talking and hit it off. I left Orientation and friended him on Facebook. We exchanged a few mildly flirtateous Wall Posts.

When I got up to school for the beginning of Fall semester, I physically bumped into him at this welcome weekend called Splash that BU holds every year. I was in this adorable black and white bubble dress. He was in khaki shorts and a BU t-shirt. We flirted and said we should hang out.

Beginning the following week, on his bday, we started talking daily and began hanging out daily, just as friends. One thing led to another, and eventually we were hooking up. Then his grandmother unexpectedly passed and I was there for him and collected all of his class assignments and stuff for him so he wouldn't fall behind. A few days later, he asked me to be his GF. I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to commit...I was just having fun and loved his friendship and didn't want it to get complicated, but he convinced me to be his GF.

And here we are...nearly 6 years later. Married for 9ish months. And still completely in love. He is my best friend. My soul mate. The love of my life. The best part of my day...every single day. And the best person I've ever known.

I think it's such a tough situation. I'm super glad it all worked out! I bet that was a huge sigh of relief.

And fingers crossed! It's not real til we buy the plane tickets.

So true - BF and I were just reliving our very first conversation today. It's funny how much has changed and how much hasn't all at once.

Congrats on the moving-in-discussion-ness! And your Europe trip sounds like it will be super-fun (I know it's not coming up for a while, but I am a wee bit jealous all the same, lol).

I love thinking about how much growth and change goes into a relationship. I'm a huge sucker for reminiscing.

And thanks! If it happens it'll be our first vacation together.

Everyone's stories are so cute! Keep 'em coming! :-)

Europe is awesome. Where are you planning hypothetically on going?

[Deleted User] · May 2013

I met FI through one of my sorority sister's who grew up with him. I had been in a pretty bad relationship and swore off evil men and when my sorority sister asked if I wanted to meet him, I was a little hesitant because I didn't want to put myself in another situation like my last. So we all went out one weekend as a big group and he was such a gentlemen! I was so impressed! Unfortunately I got drunk and didn't hang out much with him. A couple weeks later I asked my sorority sister how he was doing and she said that he would still like to hang out with me. Now that really impressed me after I was a drunk hot mess and he was this cool collected man.

We went on a date and it was literally just history from then on. I know it's weird to say this but I knew from the moment on our first date that he was going to be my husband. Now he is my FI and I thank God every single day for putting this man in my life. I'm beyond blessed to have him. He cherishes me, respects me, and challenges me. We strive to put God at the center of our lives and in our relationship and his love for Christ literally makes my heart go nuts! I can't wait to marry him.

beanbot2002 · May 2013

Most folks know our story, but BF and I met waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in high school...in choir. Some 19-20 years ago now. Whoa. We were 'gleeks' before it was cool. Anyhow, we were attached at the hip throughout high school and after. We didn't realize until a couple of years ago that we were it for each other. We've been together, as best friends, through everything. Best thing about being friends forever...he heard me fart before we started humping, so I didn't have to hide my farts once we did.

Peaseblossom55 · May 2013

We were set up by one of my close friends' it was her husband's really good friend and co worker. It turns out we had a lot of mutual friends in common and had been introduced once or twice before.. but I never remembered. The first time we hung out to meet each other was with a bunch of our friends going on a big group date to see Avenue Q on Broadway, we were the only non couple there. So 3.5 years later we are engaged and just bought our first home together and are getting married next year.

KeptInStitches · May 2013

We met in university band 7.5 years ago now - I played the tuba and he played the tenor/bari sax (neither of us can remember which one he was playing that semester). We played in band together for 2 years. We reconnected through tabletop gaming after I took a semester off band, and about 8 months later, we started dating. That was about 4.5 years ago now. We're trying to find a place together, but there's a housing crunch where we are so apartments are scarce, plus we each have a cat. His cat is friendly, and my cat is a little royal heinous biatch when she encounters another cat. Clearly I have work to do with her ...

minskat30 · May 2013

Ok, am I the only one that met my SO online?

H winked at me on Match, which I thought was lazy (write a darn email) but one of my good friends was with me when I was looking through profiles and when he winked. I told her it was the lazy way out and she told me to stuff it (she met her H on Match too), wink back and see if he wrote an email. I did, he did and we quickly went from email to phone to first-date.

I never believed in love-at-first-sight but when I met H, I felt the world pause for a second and felt like my entire life had shifted direction (weird but true and something I had never felt before). We hit it off and were dating exclusively within a month or so. Now, here we are...an old married couple.

ETA: That same friend that told me to wink back? When she saw his profile she squeeed and said "You are going to have an Indian wedding!!!" (H is Indian). She was one of my bridesmaids and while it wasn't an Indian wedding we did incorporate some Indian elements like the Seven Steps.

Nope! I emailed my now-DH through myspace. I was moving to AZ and only knew one person. I wanted some input on places to live, etc, and searched for guys in my age range. I had no idea whether he was married or single, and didn't really care. His picture was normal (ok, cute!) and I saw that he played soccer, which I also played at the time.

He emailed me back the next day. First we emailed once every other day. Then once a day. Then multiple times a day. Then he asked if he could call me, so we started talking once a week. Then twice. Then daily. Then he asked if he could come visit me in FL. I said no. Then I said yes. He arrived on June 19, 2008 and have been together ever since.

It was the luckiest thing I ever did, and considering I emailed him five days after my grandma passed away, and all she wanted was for me to find someone, I'm pretty sure she had something to do with it.

Together - 59 months. Married - 13.5 months

[Deleted User] · May 2013

FI and I were set up on a blind date...by my boss at the time no less. I'd only been working at the company about 2 months and she came in one morning saying "I have the perfect guy for you!". I was a bit apprehensive, but she offered to have a few couples over for a casual game night and I figured it was about the least awkward way to do a blind date so why not give it a try?

FI was wearing a ridiculous shirt that night...one of those bright colored button down ones with a dragon-type design (very 80's). haha! I thought he looked like a total dweeb, but he was cute and sweet and we wound up really hitting it off. Turns out he's actually a great dresser but one of his friends thought the shirt looked "super cool" so he wore it that night. I've told him for years he's lucky that shirt didn't ruin his chances. hehe. Now it's 6+ years later I can hardly believe we're getting married in 6 weeks!

I met BF online. On myspace 7 years ago.

I was 15 and in the "I want as many friends as I can have and I don't care who friends me even if I don't know them!!!!!!!!! " stage. He friended me and sat on my friends list for a while.

A bout a week before my 16th birthday he started myspace messaging me, he introduced himself and told me I was cute. I did my best to flirt back. About a few weeks later he asked to meet up, and I told him no, but I did give him my AIM screen name. We talked on aim for a few weeks and then after pestering me to call him (he'd given me his number like a dozen times by then) I finally did. We talked on a regular basis. I told him that I was going to a local amusement park with my friends the following week, and he said he'd meet up with us there. I told him that he didn't have to pay all of that money to get in to the park just to meet up with us, but he turned up anyway with his friend. They followed us from ride to ride and didn't go on, played stupid, and just made an overall bad impression.

What I didn't find out until years later was that he was there with his own family (there's a picture at his grandparents house) and he had motion sickness.

I wrote a "note" about all of the bad things he did and put it on myspace (but I didn't mention any names - just "how to make a good first impression." He was pissed and we only spoke occasionally through the rest of the summer.

In the fall I saw some girl writing all over his myspace and saw that he had gotten a girlfriend. My heart sank -we had been talking about going out, but I was still really nervous. He said he didn't think we would be going out because I wasn't giving in, he apologized, but kept going out with her. He would try to talk to me, but I kept it short becuase I didn't want to get in the middle.

Around the holidays, a bagger at the grocery store I worked at started chatting me up. In January he asked me out on a date, and I accepted. At the end of the day he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said sure. A week after I was in this "new relationship", BF called to tell me he broke up with her; the coversation led to the lines "what, do you have a boyfriend now?" - he was pissed when I said yes. Well, I'd only see the kid at work and it was awkward the whole time. I asked BF to help me figure out a way to break up with him. I finally did after an awkward Valentines day.

The day before I turned 17 I snuck BF over my house for a few hours after I got home from school before the rest of my family came home. We had our first real "date" that friday and have been together ever since

buddysmom80 · May 2013

I also met my BF online as well!

It was New Year's Even 2010 going into 2011 and I was MISERABLE. My abusive ex-bf moved out without as so much telling me and at the time I was devasted. I decided to give up on men and dating and just become a crazy cat lady.

So there I was laying in bed and deleting all my dating profiles (even though ex-bf and I were living together, we had 0 communication so I started dating here and there since he wasn't paying any attention to me). I'm on POF and see a message from my now BF. At first I almost deleted it because I was never going to date a guy younger than me (he's 28 I'm 32). But I was so hurt and lonely I figured I would go out on a date with him just to validate to myself that I "may find love again".

We talked online for a few days, then started texting, then became FB friends and we finally met up around three weeks after we started talking online. We hit it off right then and there. He was such a gentleman and I realized that the way he treated me is how I'm suppossed to be treated.

After a few months of going on dates I went on a three week road trip cross-country with my parents. Before I left my house to head over to my parents, he came to my house by surprise and instead of bringing me flowers (since they would die by the time I got home) he bought me a Pandora charm since he got me a Pandora bracelet for V-day that year. I remember missing him A LOT and buying him a cactus in Las Vegas (he said he wanted a cactus for a souvineer). We talked all day every day on that trip. When I got home from my trip, he left flowers for me. After that we were official. He is the greatest guy I've ever dated. He puts up with me in my good moods and crappy moods. He's also a great fur daddy to Buddy and Quigley. Why do I have tears in my eyes as I'm typing this????? Darn you OP!

Two years later we are living together and enjoying each other's company.

We will be getting engaged by the end of this year.

Counting in months...like a boss!

peekaboo2011 · May 2013

BF and I met through Model UN in HS. Shortly thereafter, I moved to SC, and we lost touch. Fast forward about 8 years and I had just broken off my engagement. I had been friends with BF's roommates in HS, and one of them I stayed in touch with throughout college. After I broke it off, I texted him and we began about three months of being closeted fuckbuddies.

The night before I left to go to SC to work at a better paying job before my internship, I was at BF's apartment for a 5th of November party. We were playing beer pong, and somehow we got matched up. I asked him if he'd ever kiss me, and he said "Yeah, but it'll never happen."

When I drove back up for Thanksgiving, I had to pick up my extra toothbrush from their apartment. BF was the only one home. I was literally vibrating from caffeine (I'd had like 4 red bulls), and we chitter chattered for a few minutes before I got my toothbrush and left. We started texting constantly after that. He has a job where he can't have his phone at his desk, so during the week, he'd come up every 30 minutes or so to text for 5 minutes before going back down. That spawned into nightly 3+ hour skype conversations, and one night my roommate in SC brought her super drunk friend over that I'd hooked up with. He had called me a couple times that night trying to convince me that we should hook up again, and without thinking, while BF was on skype I said "A, I have a BF now. We can't do this." And BF got all smiley. When A tried to break down the door of the bedroom, BF decided if anything happened, he was driving down. From DC.

We arbitrarily picked a date for our anniversary (Dec 8), knowing that our first date wouldn't be until Dec 15, when I was back in town for my mom's retirement. He didn't want our anniversary to be the day after my birthday, so, the 8th it is.

Our first date ended up starting out a disaster. I had planned to drive to his place and leave from there, since my parents live a zillion miles from everything. It turned out that the car I was supposed to take wouldn't start, so he had to rush getting ready to be able to come pick me up, 15 miles in the opposite direction from where we were going. He picked me up, kissed me in the car before we left the driveway, and there was nothing there. It was the most awkward kiss of my life. I started to panic a little inside, and as we got closer to the restaurant, his phone died and he had no idea where we were going. We accidentally ended up parking right outside the restaurant, and had a lovely dinner next to a very intersting office party.

Once we got back to his place, he gave me my birthday gift - a dozen gluten free georgetown cupcakes, and we almost had sex while watching Oceans 11. We did long distance for a few months while I was in FL for my internship, and we've been together for almost a year and a half.

GoldenPenguin · May 2013

BF & I went to college together... but didn't really know each other. We knew OF each other - we had a lot of mutual friends, but I don't think we ever spoke.

About 2.5 years ago, he got transferred up here for work. His mom knew my friends mom through real estate, so the moms got them in touch so he would have someone to hang out with/show him around, since he didn't know anyone up here. My friend does a lot of "events" on Facebook with our group, and I started seeing him pop up on there. I was also on Match at the time, and saw him there - I emailed him on there and asked if he went to our college, because I recognized him. He said yes, we chatted back & forth a few times, friended on FB, and then I started dating my ex-BF, so that was that.

Last fall, we started exchanging FB comments/posts about football (because we're both huge Patriots fans). I thought he was adorable, and we clearly had things in common, so, after drinking a bottle of wine alone on my couch one night, I sent him a FB message that said "I think we need to have an Upstate Q reunion. What do you think?" He wrote back "Just the two of us? Works for me. What are you doing for the Pats game tomorrow?" I didn't have plans, so we met up, watched the Patriots win, and that was the start.

We hung out a few times before I realized it was really something special. We went out one night for MNF, and as we were leaving, he hugged me, and I felt my stomach flip. As I was walking to my car I just kept thinking "OMG. He totally wanted to kiss me just then. I think I really like him. Holy shhiit. I really like him." We had our first kiss on our next date, and the rest is history.

We also found out later that his best friend and my best friend (both from college - all that mutual friend stuff, remember) had been texting back & forth about us for weeks, about how perfect we were for each other, and how happy they were that we had finally found each other. I had been trying to leave this area for a couple years, and obviously nothing had worked out, but I think it's because this is where I was supposed to be. Thank you, Universe :-)

We're now living together, with our cat & dog, and I'm letting my friends (cough*shoes*cough) be BSC for me ;-)

suzie211 · May 2013

FI and I met online, as well. I was over the bar scene and have a friend who met her husband online so I gave it a shot.

After meeting lots of crazies on Match and hating the fact I had paid money to meet them, I opted to not quit online dating alltogether and move to a free site.

I created a profile on OkCupid, and found even more crazies. But I never cancelled it. About 5 months into OkCupid, FI's picture popped up. Both of us think the other initiated contact, and I honestly don't remember who did. Either way it lead to lots of emails, then a few phone calls, and finally our first date about 6 weeks later.

Our first date was pretty awesome. A little over two years later, we're engaged and getting married in August.

After all the online dating, I realized that everyone is crazy. The relationships that work are the ones where both sides can tolerate the other persons crazy.

FI's crazy, but its just the right amount, and I love him for it.

In Response to How did you meet your SO?:
[QUOTE]After lurking for many months I decided maybe I should start posting. Anyways, I love hearing how couples met. How did you meet your BF/GF/FI/DH? As for me, I met my BF while we were both working at a retail store. We were friends for 5 years and best friends for the last 2 of those years. He started dating a coworker and I realized I was jealous. Fortunately things didn't work out between them and one night we finally got things out in the open. We've been together for a little over a year now. An engagement is probably in the near-ish future but the timing is all up to him :-)

BF and I met online and emailed back and forth for about three weeks before we finally went on a first date. It was pretty much history from there and we've been together for 2 years now. He was the only person I talked to online that I actually went on a date with. Not really a fun or a cool story I guess but it worked out right for us in the end. I can't imagine being with anyone else and I think it was random happenstance and fate that brought us together more than anything. We've talked engagment and marriage quite a bit and BF has even mentioned that he is getting me a ring "soon" but how soon I don't know. We're in the process of buying a house so saving money is a bigger priority right now than spending it.

Has anyone else met their SO's online? I used OkCupid cause it was free and I'm cheap.
