I met her when she accidentally took my coffee order at a bookstore café. I let her keep it, sat near her, and joked that it tasted better when stolen. She laughed, stayed, and we ended up talking for three hours.
We go to that café every year on that same day. She still orders my drink by “mistake.”
I met him while I was busy enjoying the sun on a beach all by myself. I wanted to put sunscreen on my back but my hands are too short and wouldn’t reach my back properly. In the midst of that moment I heard a voice saying, ” Shall I help you with that?” My whole body shivered and got goose-bumpy all over. I turned around to find a pair of big brown eyes staring at me. Then I woke up!!
i met her on tinder, different countries , talked to her for around 5 months just messages , some video calls, then move to her country, tried the relationship, perfect match , we been together for 4 years now and getting married next year 🙂
We started talking in an AOL chatroom. Turns out we went to different schools in the same district. The next school year we were at the same school and officially started dating.
Edit: Our oldest kid can buy their own alcohol. We be old. 😂
In a dark alley when I paid her 20 bucks .. aw her multiple times after.. noture it was always her.. but got tested and anti biostuff she then said yes.. got cured again.. kids born with congenital STI.. not mine.. moral
ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE
Last guy I was swipping right on, immediately our conversation became indepth and engaging. We talked everyday for two weeks then we met up for a coffee date. That coffee date was 8 hours, I always joke our first date was 3 in 1. Just over three years strong together.
Birth control failed us and we also have a two year old lol. But we didn’t stay together just because of our daughter. We plan to be married and spend our lives together, he and our daughter are the best things to ever happen to me.
…also first words I ever said out loud were “you fucker” 🤣
me and my partner have known each other for a really long time. we met when i moved to where i live currently in 3rd grade. she was one grade above me and our moms have always been super close. we had different friend groups growing up but because of our parents were always a bit involved. things like walking the track with them while they talked or her coming over on christmas afternoon. i started getting a huge crush on her a few years ago (they’re 19 i’m 18 now) but only really thought i had a chance last year. they were in senior year and i was a junior, it was the last few months of school and they were struggling so she started spending a lot of time in my alternative education classroom. we got a lot closer over reading “brendon chase” for their english class and then our family started having regular movie nights to watch a show my mom wanted to show them. we got closer and closer and we’re hanging out together alone pretty regularly which was great. then on june 2nd i invited them on a picnic in the botanical garden where i was planning on asking them out. i chickened out big time but then while sitting in a parking lot nearby after driving around for a bit i accidentally said “you’re so cute”. in my defense though! they were talking about baroque music and it was ADORABLE. they reached over and grabbed my hand and since then we’ve been happily together 🥰
Both of us impulsively bought VIP Tickets to a concert and ended up standing next to each other and started taking.
After the concert, we wanted to get some food which made both of us miss our last trains (in opposite directions) so we ended up walking around the city for hours
I met her when she worked for a 3letter agency and I was a target for investigation for a harmless YouTube video I made. What a nightmare and completely destroyed heart
Church when we were kids! I had moved from another country and she was my first friend. 27 years later, we are now married. We’re both female so I think it’s hilarious that we met at church lol
I went to go see my friends band play, and afterwards I was going to leave, but something struck me and told me to go back to the venue because it was my last day of freedom before my parents got back from their trip and classes started up again (I was in college). So I went back and hung out with a bunch of people, one of them being the friends band drummer, and this was the first show he was playing with them. I didn’t know anyone else else there, but both of us spent the night flirting and messing with each other but also got drunk and didn’t get each others phone numbers. Both of us have ethnic names and neither one of us could spell them to find each other so I spent 3 months thinking “oh that drummer was so cute and charming” (apparently he thought the same about his vocalists friend, me lol). Then one day a mutual friend posted a status with a typo and we both commented making fun of the typo and found each other. We’re getting married this November!
Day after st paddy’s day in Ireland… dropped my hook up home… absolutely dying on the jaxx I swipe open tinder, get a few matches send out generic hi message… somehow agreed to a date Beverly hungover. Took her out for hangover grub. Somehow wrangled a second date. The absolute state of me… she’s one lucky wife 😍
I met my spouse at work. We started working together when I was 21 and he was 39. He was married at the time and we became good friends. We confided in each other with our, at the time current relationships and the issues we were having; my ex was physically, mentally, and emotionally abuses and his ex was mentally and emotionally abusive. I finally was able to get away from my ex and several years later he divorced his wife. We have now been happily married for 13 years.
It was 2am. I couldn’t sleep. I decided to check my email (42,000 unread and counting …I really never looked at my emails….)
Had a message and checked him out. We started chatting, moved to chatting on messenger.
Think we arranged to meet a week or so after (I thought he’d done a runner in McDonald’s 😂).
And yeah…..10 years later we are still together 😍
I genuinely wasn’t really looking at the time. I’d had a very brief relationship that ended and had reactivated my dating profiles as part of the process.
met her while we were working at a summer camp and i was there because of another girl. stuff with that girl didnt work out and her and i started talking. we went to college at the same place and ended up dating all through college and got married after graduation
Met my wife after a long term breakup. We both just wanted to have fun and not be serious but we fooled around and fell in love. This year will be 10 years together total.
Met AND matched with my BF on every dating site for two years on and off. (He’s younger than me) and that’s what had me hesitant. We’d match, talk a little, then I’d disappear because I felt weird with him being younger. Finally, one day, I just said, “eff it, what’s the worst that could happen?”.
That day, we went for a drive, and when we came back, neither one of us could shut up or stay away from the other. We climbed in his backseat, and talked for hours, until we both fell asleep, because nobody wanted to leave.
Almost three years later, and we still would live in each other’s skin if we could.
We’d been working in a Virgin Megastore for about a year and we’d been out to the pub with everyone else a few times but I was your classically clueless guy regarding her hints and it was only when I was unloading a delivery and she hit me with a megawatt smile and the driver said I should ask her out.
So the next day I went up to her as she was setting up the tills for the day and I stammered the I wanted to know if she’d like to go out sometime.
I had a crush on a classmate of mine, he asked me to go shopping with him and some of his friends, turns out his best friend was the love of my life and we’ve been together for 25 years now.
We started dating after being together 3 times, we just felt right together.
I had recently become homeless and some friends of mine let me come stay at their place, my now husband was their room mate and we became great friends just hanging out and then we had a fun night (yehaw lmao) and a week later he asked if I’d be his girlfriend and I said yes. Now we have two babies and we’re working on buying our own house 🥰
Facebook dating. I was just about to delete my profile after two miserable dates and he liked my profile as I was on so looked at it. Chatted for a week, then three dates within five days, and now been together for six months
We had a class together in college. It was a very big class (250 students). I had been admiring her since day one. Two weeks into class, the teach assigns a group project. The girl I’m sitting next to quickly asks if I wanted to pair up and I agreed. Then she said she’d go look for other members. She went straight up the girl I had been admiring since the beginning and got her in our group. As we were leaving class we started chatting and we had mutual friends. I invited her to my apartment to watch South Park and smoke weed and we’re still together 14 years later!
Went to a homecoming football game. Friend of mine told me her friend thought I was cute. Friend of mine invited me over to her friends house after the game. Decided to go over there. Saw friend of my friend’s sister. Got her number from my friend. Started talking. We have been together ever since. Coming up on 19 years together, 14 years married and have three kids now.
Side note. I was already dating someone while talking to girl I met. GF at time broke up with me a couple weeks later and I started dating my current wife.
I subscribed to the Patreon of a BL Webtoon I really like and that access included a Discord server. I noticed he was pretty active in the server and was really funny and made great memes. A group of us in the server started playing Minecraft together and him and I would be on a lot. We played constantly, just building cool shit and having fun talking in the VC. Feelings developed and eventually I flew out to meet him in AZ (from NC). We’re still together and long-distance, except he’s in Alaska for now. It’s hard but we make it work haha. Got burnt out on Minecraft for a while but I think we’re getting back into it, especially now that he’s back into streaming.
We started talking online in early March I guess. And he invited me out to dinner on a Friday evening. So we went to a Chinese restaurant and then it was still pretty early. It was like 630 or seven. So we went to a park right on the river.
He suddenly says to me “I give women that meet men online a lot of credit. You never know if you’re meeting a serial killer “
I froze. Looked around. It was like 1030 at night? The park was empty. I was about 6 feet from the water. With this man, that I knew his proclivities, and that he had multiple black belts. And I thought to myself “oh shit! I’ve made a horrible mistake”
So I got up, told him I was tired, and ran away and drove home.
Our state’s renaissance festival! We arrived with separate parts of the friend group. I saw him as we approached, having no idea we were meeting up with him and thought he was the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen. I still think so. We get married on May 1 lol
Tinder, we matched, neither wanted long term at the time. We dated other people for months and eventually I was over hooking up and casually dating so I redownloaded apps with the intention of finding someone I liked and she was the first person I saw. Now we are in it for the long run.
We dated for a few months back in high school… Broke up for some childish reason, hey, we were kids.. but we reconnected in our adult life VIA Instagram. Have been rocking and rolling for three years since and this is by far one of the happiest and healthiest relationships I’ve ever had.
Was at a friend’s house all smoking , she needed to go home and it was late so offered to drive her home since we all lived within 5 mins of each other, asked for her number if she wanted to smoke sometime and became best friends for 3 years after that than finally made a move and we’ve Been dating for 5 years since that . Hahaha mans got out of the friendzone so there’s hope!
LOL i met a guy from tinder, he came over and brought wine. We sat and chatted for a bit, then he told me his baby mama was texting him that their son wanted to go back to his dad’s. He left, but let me keep the wine.
I drank a lot….and i got a message on tinder that said “hey.” Normally, i dont respond to messages that just say hey, but this time i did. We talked a little, and i asked him if he wanted to come over. So he did, i was outside smoking a cigarette when he got there. We hung out in my apartment for a bit, y’all, i am BOLD when i’m drunk. I literally laid my head on his lap, like what?
Anyway, we hung out, then we went for a drive. We both really enjoyed the time together. He went back to his apartment that night, and we ended up seeing each other every day after that. We got married in 2023 and have a 4 month old daughter now ❤️
Edit: i dont recommend doing this, i had no hope left for my life. I understand what i did was really dangerous
We texted sparingly, but hopped on a call to get a better feel of each other. Talked for an hour or two. Then he planned our first date. He came off a little too serious initially, but as our date progressed he became more relaxed. I fell for him on our third date, and was ready to make it official with him whenever he felt the same for me and was ready. At the end of our third date, I asked if I could kiss him. He thought it was a little too early for that, and I said “on the cheek?” I kissed his cheek and we went our separate ways. He said he sort of beat himself up after that because he thought he messed up for rejecting me and that I probably thought he didn’t like me after that. We officially started dating since our fourth date. Then became engaged a little over 6 months. Planning our wedding party and also now happily expecting.
Intentionality is really powerful. It’s amazing how much your life can transform for being intentional and taking action.
He and I were in a place in our lives that we were ready for our life partner, so we were really putting ourselves out there and being intentional and upfront about what we were looking for. He was searching for a little while longer than I have, and admitted to me he was starting to lose hope. Something sweet he said to me early on in our talking stage, “I used to ask my coworkers and relatives when did they know they wanted to marry the person they’re married to now. They all just said something like ‘you just know.’ I would laugh at them. It just didn’t make any sense. But now… I think I’ll have to go and apologize.”
We were in drug court of all places. We had both been locked up for unrelated charges and when we got out, we were put into a drug rehabilitation program. I noticed there was a new girl and realized we have the same tattoo in our ears. I have a blue heart in my right ear and she has a red heart in hers. We started working at the same place and the rest is history.
He was my boss we stimulated each other for two years and then gave in to temptations. We are seven years deep and it’s the story of my naughtiest dreams
I was playing wow with my bestie and we were doing old content achievements. We needed a third and the love of my life joined. Years later we got together.
I had just gotten out of a pretty rocky relationship. My friend set me up with his fiancé’s cousin. I made it very clear to her the situation I was in and that I was still healing, that didn’t sway her. I told her I had bad trust issues from the previous relationship, that didn’t sway her. She told me we can start as friends and go from there. So we planned a date to see Christmas lights together. I fell in love walking through those lights with her, she was just so graceful and feminine in the best way possible. We walked through those gardens and lights for almost 3 hours just talking and laughing like we had known each other our whole lives. I knew then my troubles from the last relationship were nothing. She healed me in so many ways, and I never asked her to. She just did it out of the kindness of her heart. I told her my problems and she didnt flinch, she knew she could solve em. In our whole relationship she has never changed from the woman i first met, never switched up or gave up on me. I’ve never felt a love like hers, I’m hooked for life now 🙂 I love you Lisa
TLDR I was drunk and being a messy bitch, then lost my purse. He wanted to make sure I got home okay. We’ve now been together for over a year.
I went out to a bar because it was the bartender’s birthday. While there, I met two guys who invited me to go bar hopping with them. So I wished my bartender friend adieu, and off we went! Stopped at one bar and had a drink or two, and then we ended up in a karaoke spot. I’d always wanted to try my hand at karaoke! Now, I had liquid courage and the encouragement of my newfound acquaintances, so I signed myself right up. When the time came, I chose a certified bop: Shania Twain’s opus, her pièce de résistance, “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” It was a beautifully screechy rendition, if I say so myself.
I finish my set and return to my spot at the bar with said acquaintances. I felt great! I didn’t care if I sounded good; I sang my heart out! Well, some gentleman seemed to find my voice that of a siren. He approached. Somehow, his arm ended up around my shoulder. My fellow Redditor, I looked at this man in my drunken state. He was taller than I (in heels! I’m 5’7″!). His beard seemed luscious. I said to myself, This man is a Viking, and I want him to pillage my village. So, of course, when he invited us to the next spot, I was happy to oblige. And again, off we went!
We make it to the last location, a combination deli (the front) and bar (the back). My new Viking friend tells us he’ll be getting a sammie to eat, so we enjoy ourselves, shmoozing in the bar area. At some point, as is bound to happen during a night of drinking, I feel the need to relieve myself. Before I go to the restroom, I take my purse to the Viking and ask him (1) to watch my purse and (2) to find me when it’s time to leave so I can leave with him. The Viking enthusiastically agrees, in between happy bites of his delicious looking sammie. So I go and tinkle, then return to the bar.
Time passes, and the bartender of this establishment begins the “alrighty get the fuck out” proceedings. I return to the front (deli)….where is my Viking?! VIKING? WHERE IS MY VIKING?! Panic ensues. WHERE IS MY VIKING?! WHERE IS MY PURSE?! VIKING?! PURSE?! PURSE?!
VIKING STOLE MY PURSE.
I become a banshee. I am screeching. I am bewildered. I look like the caveman Spongebob meme. The bar has now fully emptied. I am on the sidewalk, searching through trashcans, asking passersby if they saw Viking with Purse. My new acquaintances have already called their chariots and left.
In my frenzy, I was able to bring random strangers into my search. As the reality begins to set in (that fucking Viking was a fucking Viking and I have been pillaged!!!), another group of gentlemen pass by and inquire about my frenzied state. One of them calls over to a friend nearby, who then invites us all over to his home as a place for me to calm the absolute fuck down. By this point, I’ve stopped searching and accepted that Purse is long gone. So I go down the street to this stranger’s house, with these strange men.
We get to this man’s house and begin to shoot the shit. Conversation is flying in every direction. At one point, I’m trying out a VR headset. What else happens? Who knows, I was fucked up! Eventually, I look at the time – it’s past 4 am. I’ve calmed down. It’s time for me to go.
One of the men decides to leave at the same time I do. We exchanged numbers, and he asked me to let him know when I got home. That led to us talking a bit more, going on some dates…and here we are, over 1 year later.
Also, I got Purse back a couple of weeks later! The police were involved, but Viking was following directions and watching Purse as instructed. A drunken mistake with wonderful consequences.
We were both members of the same Christian union at university and I was invited to join a prayer triplet by a mutual friend with him. Soon we were meeting without our triplet.
My partner and I have been together since we were 18, and now we are almost 30. I wasn’t even out yet as a gay person but we became friends and lived in the same living learning community (music) in college. Sadly, I was drunk when we first met, but I still remember what he was wearing and what he looks like very clearly, to this day. We finally decided to get married after all this time and I’m very happy to have married him, even though I was very scared. I couldn’t imagine my life without him.
We actually met on a double date, but were originally there with other people. I was with his friend and he had brought another girl. We had seen each other at the gym but never spoke to each other until this night, and he asked for my number before the night was over. And he asked in front of his friend and his date, no shame whatsoever. We’ve now been together for 6 years this month 🙂
I was the dm of a D&D game that happened all summer at my friends lake house, every day we’d just smoke weed and have a game going with a few core friends and anyone who swung by to pick up weed or something were welcome to stay. She showed up wanting to play D&D. She was Janice Winklebotton, a gnome bard. I fell in love that summer and we now live together and have been together almost 7 years
I was divorced and had just picked my 2 yo son up for the weekend; got a call from a co-worker’s wife and her close friend that a friend of theirs had been stood up for a blind date and they were doing some bar-hopping to cheer her up, would it be ok if they stopped by to say hello? Kid was in bed and I was just hanging out so I said “Sure!”
Within 30 minutes they were at my front door, the first words she said to me were “Where’s your bathroom?” as she shoved a partial six pack of beer into my chest. A month later we had our first date, were married 9 months later – and will celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary this July.
Me and 2 friends were being set up with some guys as some kind of a joke. Well my 1 friend was so desperate for a boyfriend she purposely picked a day I couldn’t do it. (I felt like she wanted first pick). They went, spent time together they left. She liked the oldest guy and was trying texting with him but he wasn’t really in to her. Well I messaged the guy saying “ sorry I couldn’t make it because I had to work”. Well we talk for a week and decide to meet up. Long story short married for 12 years with 3 kids.
The friend ended the friendship with me because she said she had different beliefs than me but I think she was pissed he liked me over her….
my junior year of high school, i broke up with my boyfriend of 10 months and it absolutely broke me. i was so confused and angry that i told myself i wouldn’t date for the rest of high school. to make me a little bit happier, i decided to audition for my school’s talent show. i’m a dancer, and i performed in an ensemble and as a soloist. there were 2 bands playing and a few more dancers, and some others. in one of the bands, there were 6 guys. i didn’t think any of them were necessarily attractive, but i knew most of them pretty well. at this point, i missed being in a relationship so much that i constantly was looking around for guys to talk to. but none of them seemed good enough, or they had plans after high school that i could not get myself into and knew would not work.
so, in this band of 6 guys, there was one guy that i had never seen before. he wasn’t new to the band, just some guy i didn’t know. but i thought he was gorgeous. he was the lead guitarist too, which i thought was really attractive. the clothes he wore were very similar to mine, and his hair was messy and blonde. it was clear that he was a heavy metalhead, just like me. after the talent show ended, his band ended up getting 1st place and my dance group got 2nd place. i ended up finding out the name of this pretty guy in the band and i added him on social media.
i started a convo with him, and it turned out that we had a whole lot in common. i IMMEDIATELY had a fat crush on him. i hadn’t even met him in person yet and i was already searching for him in the hallways, and when i saw him, my heart would drop and i would freeze out of nervousness. he eventually asked me to get coffee and meet in person, i was so freaking excited, and he was too. we ended up clicking pretty well. about 2 months later, he asked me to be his girlfriend and of COURSE i said yes. he is the most amazing man i’ve ever met, and we ended up dating. we’re still dating to this day and we’re moving in together this summer 🙂
In the 8th grade, when we were 13 years old, we got new seat assignments in home room for the spring semester. Never really noticed her before, but I ended up sitting next to her. We only lived a few blocks apart and one day, I walked her home. I hung out front with her until she had to go in for dinner. We agreed to go back out after. About an hour later, I came back and we talked until about 9pm out in front of her house. She was sitting on a blue Schwin bicycle. Thus became the legend of “The little girl on the blue bike” in our family. I literally floated all the way home that night. My heart was hers.
Dated all through high school, married after graduation, and have been married 51 years.
Met her on Tinder. I’m a few years older and we were both kinda hesitant on meeting up. We had a lot in common though and one of those common interests was psychedelics. I had some and so did she and we decided to meet up and maybe we would dose depending on the vibe. She brought a friend with her as a “safety” I suppose. Nearly 6 years later (married for 3 1/2) we’re on a long strange trip still just a lot less LSD…
We met in a military psychiatric unit! 😂 We just ended up in the same hospital and we didn’t talk until one day everyone was playing games (like uno, cards, chess, etc.) I had never played chess before but I watched them play to try and figure it out. Someone then suggested I play against my now partner. I asked a few questions to make sure I was right on how the pieces moved then we played. I beat him in like 6 moves. We were both laughing uncontrollably and insanely red the whole time. Although there wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing we have been inseparable since! Now living together and about to get married! (And yes, we still play chess regularly!)
i was a waitress. my hubby & his family were regulars. we were always friends on snapchat, out of nowhere i asked what he was doing tonight & we hung out. been inseparable since then 🤣 i hate telling our kids this story
We were 14 (now 66). Her friend had a crush on my friend and like most teens we couldn’t do anything alone so when they wanted to hang out we all had to hang out. The first time I saw her I was immediately attracted. I don’t know if it was a teen boy’s horniness or actually love at first sight, but here we are 50+ years later. But believe me when I say there have been lots of bumps over the years.
I was at a party with a bunch of people who I didn’t know. I had actually come along with a friend I was interested in but it wasn’t mutual. I was trying hard to mingle but failing miserably. I’m not the most socially talented. However I had managed to find some mutual interests with a group when one of them mentioned, jokingly that I couldn’t hangout with them because I was too tall. The other guys laughed and agreed that tall guys tend to have better luck. I laughed along when up walks this gorgeous brunette who looks right at me and introduces herself. They all laughed and walked off and the two of us hit it off. We spent the rest of the evening against a wall talking. I couldn’t tell you what was talked about, but I married her 20+ years ago and love telling that story.
We were both apart of a group for a video game. I was more involved with the game on the development side, but I wasn’t exactly an employee- but better described as an intern. Anyway, they were super toxic and it was like being in a twilight zone or something. Being kind and nice to people was seen as rude and toxic, but being toxic and rude was seen as being cool, funny, friendly. A lot of shit happened that left us constantly like “what… the hell am I seeing, Is this even real?”
I met him while he was there and we bonded over gossiping over the absurd drama we were witnessing, it was so surreal to see everyone do hurtful, toxic behaviors and other people eating it all up like their shit was golden rays of sunshine to worship and applaud. No one cared that this one guy straight up harassed and bullied another member as we sat and watched, no one cared to do anything to stop it. It was all fine and dandy behavior but if either me, and my now boyfriend spoke up or anything, we were the demons. We were all what was wrong with the world–their world I guess.
We talked and talked and hung out endlessly because it was like finding the only other right minded, morally right headed person in what was like walking into an upside-down, backwards world every day. It actually showed us both that we both think the exact same way and have the same ideas and opinions. It made us really close and we were best friends for 2 years before we started dating, obviously he’s still my best friend but we love each other deeply. It’s been 4 years now. I actually wouldn’t have had it any other way.
I was traveling with some friends in Egypt when a friend created a WhatsApp group and added us to celebrate getting hired at a pharmacy. He said that the weekend of my return we would meet at a bar to drink and eat something, there were people in the WhatsApp group that I didn’t know and well we all started talking to each other. One of them was HIM, he asked me the best questions and I really enjoyed his recommendations during the last days of the trip. When I came back, after my friend’s celebration, we kissed in the back of the bar. The rest is history…
When the workday was over one of the guys messaged me and said I was apparently talking to his roommate as well. LOL
Our first in person meeting was a couple weeks after our messages. I was still talking to both of them.
This one night I got cut from my service job so me and a bunch of coworkers decided to go to a bar.
I told him what I was up to and apparently they lived close by. That night one roommate turned into bed early so it was only one that met me.
He actually had to “borrow” his roommates car to meet me because his car was broken down. LOL
I was looking a hot mess and he was looking as cute as ever. Way better than his profile pictures.
I was in my late 20’s and decided I’d give more people a chance and look beyond looks on their profile pictures.
We dated for 8 yrs and have been married for 8 now with a little one.
Still best friends with his roommate.
ETA: it also turned out I had recently met his old middle school best friend and could’ve met him naturally because we shared mutual friends. Small world.
Very simple we just meet in an game found commen intrest startet chating found out we are in the same region blah blah etc etc (excuse my grammer i suck on the phone)
i went to a diner with my roommate after going to the club and my now boyfriend was standing in front of us in line (i thought he was gorgeous right away). multiple things happened that led to us talking and i, tipsy as hell, told him—and i quote—“i think i’m in love with you” after like two minutes of talking 😭 he asked for my number and i told him to pinky promise he wouldn’t ghost me (thankfully he didn’t!!)
I met my husband on a global Among Us server on Discord of all things. I had gotten super obsessed with the game and didn’t even realize you could go online and use voice chat. I was just playing on my phone like a total casual lol. Out of all the full server rooms, I randomly landed in his.
And not only that, but it was only my second day using Discord. Like, ever lmao. We lived 1,386 miles apart at the time, and the wildest part is that I was already getting transferred to his area for work.
He doesn’t even like global servers! He usually sticks to people he knows but that night a friend convinced him to hop on just that once.
Now we’re married, and it still blows my mind. I’m a hardcore introvert and never in a million years thought I’d meet someone through Discord lol. But he’s amazing, healthy, and treats me right. So seriously, have hope. Mine felt fully arranged by the universe lol.
Him and a mate gate crashed our beach party (it was new years and there were lots of little groups, they were visiting them all), we didn’t get together then but then a couple of months later I was out clubbing and we randomly met up (it was quite random because neither of us live near the city where the best bars are yet there we were). It grew from there and we’ve been married for 13 years
My boyfriend used to be my boss at one of my old jobs. When I came back after I was let go from my old job, he just started texting me and we hit it off from there. Kept it a secret when we were working together due to professionalism until I left for my current job. Been together for 3 years now
Meet at a local bar on Taco Tuesday. I turned around on the patio to the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever seen. I introduced myself to which she replied, “oh I’ve heard of you…” (I was a bit of a man-around-town and had dated her friend back in high school). Somehow I got past that awkward intro and we’ve been together 17 years in May.
I was a supervisor at a store where we had been looking for a manager for about 6 months. Late September, the lady who was helping out to manage the store let us know they’d found someone to be store manager. He started October 4th, and at first tbh I thought he was a bit of a douche 😅 but there was instant chemistry between us. Problem was he was my boss and he was with someone else at the time.
Long story short, learned he was leaving that relationship anyways as it wasn’t working out, I left to another job, and three years later we’re living together happily. Funny thing was, he came along when I was least expecting it, and he’s actually my first relationship and I expect my last as well.
Ok Cupid. He responded within 15 minutes of me sending him a message and we’ve been together ever since. Long distance at first, living together 6 years now. That said, I was always extremely picky on OK Cupid. It usually took me 18 months to find someone I wanted to talk to. But when I did message someone, it always ended up in a long term relationship. This one is the one I’m keeping for always.
We used to work at blockbuster together. Both had bf/gf. Until we simultaneously didn’t. But don’t worry we waited until the second night to sleep together and the second month to get engaged.
Now we’ve been together almost 2 decades and have a badass 10 year old.
We were on the same discord for roleplay based on a videogame. Someone in the discord made a racist-ass comment, and he IMMEDIATELY jumped their ass. I knew immediately that I wanted to be this person’s friend. About 4 years later, and he’s my amazing, wonderful, beautiful partner.
Work
Attended a work function – took some drink courage and chatted with her all evening.
Exchanged numbers and called her the next couple of nights later to go out for more drinks.
Then she started calling me and just chatted on the phone .
Started mingling with her friends and ended up seeing her often
In the before times when the internet sounded like a dying robot there was Yahoo/AOL personals (think Tinder but with an early 2000 interface and no swiping right). We met online, that turned to phone calls lasting late into the night, which turned into a decades long relationship and marriage. I used to be so embarrassed to tell people we met online because back then it wasn’t how people met. I guess we were just ahead of the times because now it seems like that’s the main way people meet.
I was 27 and was engaged to an abusive asshole, was trying to get the courage to leave him. We had been together for nearly 6 years and he had isolated me from my friends and my family and I was not in a good place
Changed jobs, met this sweet young man who became my workplace buddy. Realised I was developing feelings and finally got the courage to dump the asshole.
Started seeing sweet young man and then bam, 4 months later we were pregnant. That was 27 years ago. We now have 3 boys aged 26, 21 and 16.
We grew up in the same town and growing up, went to the same parties, and I knew of him! He was always in a long-term relationship and according to him at one of these parties I was talking to him (to be fair he was walking the fridge where my drinks were) and his girlfriend was asking how he knew me, and he said I don’t know her. We just started talking in the kitchen!
Three years are so go by, and I see him at a mutual friends birthday, and I see him on a dating app a couple months later and try to strike up a conversation and he doesn’t respond…
Fast-forward another year, my friend knew that I was struggling in the dating world, and she said that he was interested in me… I found this very hard to believe and we went on a double date and we’ve been together ever since!
After our first date 25 days later, he asked me to be his girlfriend and about a week after he asked me to be his girlfriend. He told me he loves me and now we live together and are very happy!
I met my wife at a pub. I walked past and she smiled then called me back over to light her friends cigarette. I didn’t really talk to the friend at all just this girl that lit up my world. That was 28yrs, 9 months, 4 days and 12 hrs ago, approximately.
He was actually my very first relationship ever in high school. Since we were both emotional teens, obviously it didn’t end well and we went our separate ways, graduated, etc etc. 15 years later we ended up reconnecting and started dating again. We celebrate 3 years in October 🩷
We were introduced when I was hanging at a friend’s house. I made her a burger, we chatted, I asked for her number and called her the next day. We have spent maybe two weekends apart since then. That’ll be 25 years ago this year.
We started working at this busy family pub. I was fresh out of uni and waiting on a graduate contract to come through. I’d been dumped and was living in a friends spare room feeling like I’d hit rock bottom. Leaving uni and needing to take a job working bar felt like a step backwards but I needed the money. He came on as the manager – he was in a similar career position and felt things were going wrong.
Anyways, things were professional. I remember meeting him to this day but this was my workplace and I wasn’t about to mess around. Found out through small talk he had a long term partner. No problem. I respect that.
He ended up leaving and I stayed on. I was sad to see him go. I still had his number from work but as far as I was concerned he was taken. He messaged me months later asking if I wanted any bacon. The worst chat up line going but he had pigs. I had no idea this was his attempts to see me but I wasn’t about to turn down bacon. Another time he sent out a send all kinda Snapchat asking if anyone could bring food. Him and some guys I knew were working late farming. I knew he was the sort of guy who would help out a friend if they asked and I was only ten mins away so said sure. Again. No clue it was him flirting.
He eventually relented and asked me for a drink. The penny finally dropped he was single. After talking we realised we both had that moment of meeting each other where (cliché caution) our eyes locked and it was like we only saw each other in a busy room. Turns out he ended things with his partner not because of me exactly but because he realised he liked me and it wasn’t right to stay with someone if he could have feelings for someone else. They’d split up 5 months ago.
7 years later and we’re still together and engaged with a home and dogs. It just goes to show that what was a really shitty time in both of our lives ended in us meeting our soul mate. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.
I was teaching English in Japan. My coworker (Japanese female) was wearing a green plaid mini skirt with knee high leather boots. The boots had heals too. She had a black Dolce Gabreana turtleneck with brown leather elbow patches. We have been married 23 years. My wife is hot and I love her
In 2015 I (gay man) started a new job. At the end of my onboarding day, this young guy from IT came and gave us all our computers. We made eye contact – instant connection. A few days later, I come out of my office and start walking down the hall, he turns the corner walking towards me. Just as we pass he gave me an old-school wink and that’s when I knew – he was trouble. After a year of cat and mouse, we started an office romance. We ended up getting married in 2020 and about to celebrate our 5-year wedding anniversary.
I worked for him and had a bit of a crush. Never made any moves and kept it very professional, until my last day there (decided to leave for a better opportunity) when I asked him out for coffee and he said yes. We’ve been together ever since and it’s been nothing short of amazing.
We had mutual friends in high school and a couple classes together. We became really close friends and started dating. He was my first everything. Unfortunately he got kicked out of where he was living and had to move away. Fast forward 11 years and he texted me out of the blue. He “just wanted to see how I was doing” but we never stopped talking. He still lives 1.5hrs away but as adults now it’s doable. I’ve never been happier
We were both in college getting our industrial engineering bachelor’s. We had a class in common, but didn’t know each other at the time.
We were grouping up to do a project and a mutual friend of ours called her to be part of our group, which I objected as I didn’t know her and was worried she should be a lazy person lol.
At first neither of us was attracted to each other, but we ended getting along pretty well and have never skipped a message or a call to each other since 2017.
Couldn’t ask for a more beautiful and intelligent woman by my side.
I was an American GI stationed in South Korea and a ranking officer’s wife decided to play matchmaker. There was a Filipina lady working on post, said officer’s wife invited us both over for dinner, and it took off from there.
I was anursing student and my husband was a hospital housekeeper. He almost hit me with a linen cart. We have been together for almost 7 years. Married for 4.
met on hinge 🤷♀️ figured out we’re from different states but our hometowns share the same name. we’re together almost a year, planning on getting married and extending our blended family.
I was on Facebook dating for months and was over having the same creepy, multiple children having men/poly couples hitting on me, and treating me like a job interview. In an angry heat of the moment I put a very blunt bio of what I was looking for and what I didn’t tolerate.
My now boyfriend and I matched and he said he admired my bluntness. We talked for a long while, neither of us were really looking for a relationship, but a companionship. Go on a few casual dates, and enjoy each other’s company. I fought so hard not to like him only because I was burned before, or lead on.
He was also extremely hurt in previous relationships too. So neither of us pushed anything other than to keep texting and talking on the phone. Our schedules also never aligned to meet up, but one night it did. I remember getting ready and feeling fine. When I ubered to the restaurant I was so nervous, and was shaking. When I finally saw him, he gave me a huge hug and kissed me on the cheek.
The date was easy. Felt like I knew him forever, and I knew this was different.
(I actually ended up getting him sick since I kissed him, and he still wanted to see me.)
Our first date was in March, we became a couple in April, and I met his whole family in May.
We just celebrated our year anniversary this passed Sunday. ❤️
Work. Arby’s. A bottle of Captain Morgan and I had a car.
Turns out it was actually love at first sight, but we needed the captain to hook us up.
We no longer drink like that, maybe a nip here and there of some fine tequila, but the captain is an incredible wingman if you just need to rip the bandaid off and fuck already lol
My dad was drunk with his uncle in a small town “Taco Time” fast food joint. It is a chain but there’s only a dozen or so around the west.
My dad told my great uncle he thought the cashier was cute and my unc drunkenly yelled at my mother “my nephew thinks you’re cute!”
I showed up about 13 months later and my parents are still going strong. They do have their conflicts and issues but seem to figure it out along the way.
Was stuck in an abusive relationship with an ex of 3 years. One night my ex being cross faded confessed that he fell out of love for me and told me I have X amount of days to leave our rental. Next day acted like nothing happened. This was a repeated thing where my ex was constantly drunk and high. He’d say he hates me, sees me as a sex doll, roommate, hobo, whatever he can say to crush me. I checked out emotionally and considered us single. I needed time to find a place to go so I stayed tied to my ex, co existed with him for 4 months enduring the beatings, verbal abuse, false accusations of infidelity, all so I can make my grand escape. By day I was his girlfriend, evening time into early morning I was his free punching bag and sex toy.
I worked 2 jobs with no days off. 16 hour days for 2 years straight. Promises of our own house, new cars, future travel plans were all dreamed of from us both but my ex spent his paychecks on smoking, drinking, and without my knowledge, sex toys. He would freak out about how much I worked and how I was barely home. Upset we never had time together or I never had extra money to do anything together as a couple. All my paychecks went to bills and fuel towards our cars. Whatever was left was beer money in his eyes so he’d take whatever was left of my paychecks as compensation for blowing his paycheck for our house rent for me to sleep at when I was home. I eventually started hiding money from him so it was an escape mission money. He’d go through my bank statements so I’d have to buy groceries and get cash back as a way to hide that I was pulling money out. It worked.
One day I woke up to go to work and went to give my normal every morning routine kiss goodbye but I got slapped silly. Told me I was a bitch and to get in a car accident. He rolled over and went back to sleep in our bed. I walked to my car and sat in it staring at the front of the house and made my mind up that I had to leave. So I drove to my work and parked at the gas station next to my building and waited 2 hours for my ex to go to work. He checked my location every waking moment so I had to make it seem I was at work. When I got the notification that he left from a neighbor I drove back to my house and called my family. Begging them to help me get out and I’d explain everything to them. Within an hour my family shown up with 2 trucks and started hauling my stuff into the trucks. Took 2 hours but it was worth it. I found my months rent that my ex never sent into the office and took my money back. Grabbed my cat, clothes, some furniture and valuables. I left so much of my stuff but I didn’t care. I was free from 2 out of the 3 years of abuse.
Months went by still living in fear, afraid he’d find me. He eventually did and got me fired from my job. The other job I left because it would be a matter of time before he got me fired from the other place. I was harassed, verbally assaulted, and stalked for months from my ex and no police would help me. I basically disappeared from the 3 towns I knew he’d find me in so I moved. At my second job I left I connected with a coworker who was an ass to me. No idea why but eventually the asshole coworker stayed being friendly with me. Asking me questions, slowly getting to know me, remembering things I like and dislike, very subtle things but obvious. Took it very slow and eventually I offered a coffee date. Coworker about passed out from shock but accepted without hesitation.
Next day I brought coffee and set a time (hour before we clock into work) for coworker to show up. Dude showed up 30 minutes early and parked next to my car and had offered me to sit in his car and we sipped our coffee. For whatever reason I trauma dumped on this guy within 10 minutes of us talking. I guess I figured that if this guy was serious about me he needed to know the baggage I was carrying and working towards getting rid of. He listened intently even through my inaudible panic attack of explaining the war I was moving past from my ex. He waited until I finished before asking if I needed a hug and which I hesitantly accepted. Never in my life have I felt a wave of warmth and calmness in the war inside myself until I had his arms wrap around me. That hug lasted 10 minutes and when he let me go he started trauma dumping on me about his ex fiancée. She drained his bank account, put him in debt, cheated on him with a married man and with his 3 best friends. He was struggling to dig himself out of the hole she put him in for a whole year. He never trusted another woman in his life until he met me. Something about me made him change his mind and he was wanting to give love another shot if I was willing to give him a chance.
I offered again for a coffee date and he gladly accepted. Next day he arrived again 30 minutes early and we got right into talking about dreams, desires, and what we were looking for in a partner. We aligned so well it was kinda scary. At the end of our conversation we were wrapping up before we had to go into work I asked if I could touch his hair. It was shoulder length but so fluffy it was almost teasing me to touch it so I got a brave face and asked. Never heard him laugh so hard. He agreed and I ran my fingers through his hair. The bliss on his face from being touched by someone who made him happy was an amazing experience. Also his hair was so damn soft I was so happy touching it. Like a fluffy cat that is so fat you can’t help but to touch it. 5 minutes go by and I retracted my hand and he roughed his hair up and smiled at me. He asked if I felt better and I honestly did. He asked if it was alright if he could give me a kiss, if he’d be accepted a shot of a chance with me. I dont know if I was just so desperate for genuine affection with no strings attached or what but I felt myself panic when I accepted his offer of a kiss. It was like a stupid rom com you read from story books by the way we gave each other a small kiss. It was electrifying. I jumped out of his car and power walked away from him just trying to hide my burning face. I never felt like a high school girl but for the first time I wondered if it was like that.
Soon we went on dates, I went to his house and figured out quickly that he was living off nothing but water and peanut butter. It answered the question why he was scared of paying for dates or offering them because he had no money and was paying his debt. I did a 180° on his life and got him food, paid off his debt, made his ran down trailer house a home, and paid his bills so he could catch up and get the break that he deserved. Once he was able to spread his wings again he was set to succeed.
4 years later we have our own house, 3 vehicles, plenty of food, and our wonderful son. We are set to marry in a few years and still love each other harder and harder every day. We both came to heal from our traumas, built each other up, and can’t be apart. I love this man with my whole person. He means everything to me.
Although I miss his long fluffy hair. He got rid of it 2 years into our relationship for a more grown up dad look. He still looks yummy but I do miss his shaggy hair.
Chapter one: we went to elementary school together. He sat behind me in the fourth grade, and one day I turned around to him and asked if he had ever heard of Michael Jackson. He heard the name but didn’t know who he was, so I told him to go home and watch the Beat It music video. He was hooked and this would be a topic of conversation between us throughout the school year. That next summer Michael died and he was eager to see me on the first day of fifth grade to talk about it. I moved across town that summer and went to different middle schools and high schools, so we didn’t see each other after the fourth grade.
Chapter two: Sixteen years later I’m walking out of a dive bar in my town and a dude calls me over, and he says “hey, remember me?” I didn’t recognize this bearded man, so I said “…no.” He said “I used to sit behind you in the fourth grade.” and then I instantly recognized his eyes and his smile, behind that beard was the same face of that little boy from the fourth grade. I got so excited and I hugged him tightly. He asked me if I’m still an MJ fan, I said of course, he’ll always be my favorite. He told me that Michael was a catalyst for him becoming passionate about music and becoming a musician himself, and he’d been playing music for the last 15 years, and he’d always remembered the girl who introduced him to Michael Jackson.
Chapter three: a year later, it’s October first, and he hits me up out of the blue on social media and asked if I would be down to hang out sometime. He said he had some horror movies and would love to ring in the spooky season with me if I’m into that. I’m a huge Halloween girl. We met at his place that evening, I was wearing my halloweenie SpongeBob shirt, and he just happened to have all the Halloween episodes of SpongeBob on VHS, along with an extensive VHS collection and tons of classic horror movies. The rest is history.
Xbox live 2009, modern warfare 2, online multi-player. It was a game of Search and destroy on Sub base. He trapped me in a corner with his riot shield… every round while I was sending messages. Most I’ve ever laughed on a video game. We’ve been best friends since, we’ve been together since 6/2/2012. Best decision I’ve ever made was to move across the country to be with him.
I’ve known my husband since grade school, but what sparked our relationship before dating was he put his hand through a table saw by accident cutting a piece of wood as a carpenter. As he was at the hospital he posted a picture of his freshly stitched up hand (which eventually got wrapped up in bandages to keep it from getting wet) on Snapchat. I then swiped up and said something along the lines of: that looks horrible! 😲 and he replies: “Yea, it doesn’t feel that great either. Ever since then, we’ve been together. 6 years of being together in total and almost 2 years of marriage 😌
Partied at a house every weekend while the parents were away every weekend. I was 18. She was a few years younger and would go away with her parents. It was her sister who had the parties. She decided to stay home one weekend. Friday night and I didn’t even know she was there. Came around the corner into an open stairway. There she was at the top talking to someone. I would like to say it was her hair, Dark and very long that attracted me. I like hair like that, but I followed that hair downward. Flowing over her shoulders down her back ending right at her ass. Yep I took one look at that ass fitted tightly into jeans and made an immediate note to self that I needed to get to know her. That was 53 years ago. Never regretted it
In the peak of my fent addiction I started a new job and was invited to a company dinner where we sat together and ended up talking all night long, he was also going through divorce and addiction himself and we really bonded that night. I later found out he was one of my supervisors and I felt like an idiot and apologized a million times for that night eventually weeks later he invited me and a friend of ours out to lunch after a meeting and since my car was absolute trash he offered to drive me there and back. At the end he told me he loved me we spent the whole day and night together talking and now we’re happily married with twin girls lol
I was in college and I had just broken up with my girlfriend that day. To get my mind off of it, I went out to a bar that night with a friend. My now partner walked up to me at the bar and told me that she recognized me because I was her teaching assistant for the class she had just started. The next day, I saw her in class, and honestly didn’t think much of it.
Serendipitously, I had Tinder on my phone (it’s a long story why – no I was not using it and I literally had forgotten to delete it from a dumb game night thing with friends months ago). I just so happened to open the app that night, and my partner was the first profile I saw. I swiped right, made a joke about getting fired from being a TA for matching with a student, and the rest is history.
It really felt like the universe shoved us together several times. We had found out that we had taken the same classes and had just missed each other all 4 years up to that point.
We met in college. So a lil back story, I dropped out of college in 2020 & went back in 2023. We met that fall semester, we had two classes together, one in the morning and the other one at like 1-2pm. We eventually became good friends and would get breakfast together every time after class. I developed a crush and he did too. He ended up asking me out on dates and we made it official Jan of 2024. 🥰
I decided to join the university band, and I saw a super attractive boy who played the electric guitar horribly, I thought he was very cute and I decided to look for him, a few days later I saw that he came to my singing class and I got very nervous and gave my best (he sang horrible) on the afternoon of that same day he wrote to me to tell me that my voice was driving him away and from there the rest is a beautiful story that continues to be built.
PS: we have both improved a lot in our skills, he is an excellent, very skilled guitarist and I love to sing whenever I can with the techniques I learned 😀
We met on Facebook dating. We talked for about two weeks and decided to meet. He had just gotten a new apartment so I went over and he cooked. Stayed about 6 hours. Started spending more and more time together ( he lived an hour away so it took some effort) and a few weeks later I moved in. Been together 3 years
In the elevator of the building, we lived in, struck up a conversation got a phone number. Went on a couple of dates. Didn’t think much was gonna happen and ended up hanging out and watching the tv show 24 every week . 17 years later , 3 kids + 2 dogs
It’s an embarassing but peak crazy teenage story. We were 17 & 16, her at the time abusive rapist boyfriend joined mine and my ex’s discord server (yes we were discord server mods). We became friends with the guy, guy complains and lies a shit ton about his gf, gf joins the server (which he then makes her leave). My ex and I were in a (forced) open relationship, the guy “broke up” with his girlfriend, so him and my ex started messing around. Found out he never broke up with the gf, gf finds out on her birthday he cheated, texts me asking if she can call me because she’s devastated about the guy but doesn’t have anyone to turn to. I say yes, we call, she cries, we become friends. We both break up with our exes and rebound with each other.
Almost 4.5 years later we’re moving in together, hopefully end of this year, and our exes are (thankfully) a far off distant memory.
Swiped right on each other on tinder. He was tall with a beard and brown eyes (my type), I am a redhead (his type). We both liked basketball. Coming up on 10 years together, married 5, a 6 mos old baby.
1972 and I was hitchhiking from NYC to California. He picked me up on the NJ Turnpike on his way home from work and said he would take me all the way to Cali. 6 hours later he asked me to come live with him. I said yes. We were married one year later and just had our 53rd anniversary.
I was fresh out of a breakup. My best friend from college was in town and invited me out to Korean karaoke with mutual friends. Her brother invited his best friend who was also visiting from out of town. I chose to sing Madonna’s Isla Bonita and he got “on stage” to sing along, as no one else knew the song. I found out later that neither did he :). He paid for the check so we all swapped Venmos to pay back our portions of the bill. After paying him back on Venmo he asked for my phone number in the payment comments. A few months later we had our first date and we’ve been going strong ever since. Coming up on 3 years. Here’s to many more!
We started chatting online around my birthday & he was such a sweetheart. We quickly became best friends. We just had so much in common & adored each other’s company. (We literally would stay up till 4 am just talking) Fast forward six months, he accidentally confesses that he’s in love with me. It was a month shy from when I realized I was falling for him, too. We lived in different countries, but we didn’t let that stop us. I lived in his hometown for 5 years & now we currently reside in mine. We’ve been together for 8 years, married for 7. We still stay up late at night, just yapping away. 💘
Comments
I met her when she accidentally took my coffee order at a bookstore café. I let her keep it, sat near her, and joked that it tasted better when stolen. She laughed, stayed, and we ended up talking for three hours.
We go to that café every year on that same day. She still orders my drink by “mistake.”
I met him while I was busy enjoying the sun on a beach all by myself. I wanted to put sunscreen on my back but my hands are too short and wouldn’t reach my back properly. In the midst of that moment I heard a voice saying, ” Shall I help you with that?” My whole body shivered and got goose-bumpy all over. I turned around to find a pair of big brown eyes staring at me. Then I woke up!!
i met her on tinder, different countries , talked to her for around 5 months just messages , some video calls, then move to her country, tried the relationship, perfect match , we been together for 4 years now and getting married next year 🙂
We started talking in an AOL chatroom. Turns out we went to different schools in the same district. The next school year we were at the same school and officially started dating.
Edit: Our oldest kid can buy their own alcohol. We be old. 😂
In a dark alley when I paid her 20 bucks .. aw her multiple times after.. noture it was always her.. but got tested and anti biostuff she then said yes.. got cured again.. kids born with congenital STI.. not mine.. moral
ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE
Last guy I was swipping right on, immediately our conversation became indepth and engaging. We talked everyday for two weeks then we met up for a coffee date. That coffee date was 8 hours, I always joke our first date was 3 in 1. Just over three years strong together.
Birth control failed us and we also have a two year old lol. But we didn’t stay together just because of our daughter. We plan to be married and spend our lives together, he and our daughter are the best things to ever happen to me.
…also first words I ever said out loud were “you fucker” 🤣
me and my partner have known each other for a really long time. we met when i moved to where i live currently in 3rd grade. she was one grade above me and our moms have always been super close. we had different friend groups growing up but because of our parents were always a bit involved. things like walking the track with them while they talked or her coming over on christmas afternoon. i started getting a huge crush on her a few years ago (they’re 19 i’m 18 now) but only really thought i had a chance last year. they were in senior year and i was a junior, it was the last few months of school and they were struggling so she started spending a lot of time in my alternative education classroom. we got a lot closer over reading “brendon chase” for their english class and then our family started having regular movie nights to watch a show my mom wanted to show them. we got closer and closer and we’re hanging out together alone pretty regularly which was great. then on june 2nd i invited them on a picnic in the botanical garden where i was planning on asking them out. i chickened out big time but then while sitting in a parking lot nearby after driving around for a bit i accidentally said “you’re so cute”. in my defense though! they were talking about baroque music and it was ADORABLE. they reached over and grabbed my hand and since then we’ve been happily together 🥰
I’m single, but my ex I know from the internet.
Both of us impulsively bought VIP Tickets to a concert and ended up standing next to each other and started taking.
After the concert, we wanted to get some food which made both of us miss our last trains (in opposite directions) so we ended up walking around the city for hours
He was in the same class as me since grade 6. It wasn’t until this year (grade 8) that we started dating. Nothing special tho
I met her when she worked for a 3letter agency and I was a target for investigation for a harmless YouTube video I made. What a nightmare and completely destroyed heart
MySpace.
Went on tinder looking for someone easy…..8 years later we’re married and 2 kids….longest one night stand ever!
Church when we were kids! I had moved from another country and she was my first friend. 27 years later, we are now married. We’re both female so I think it’s hilarious that we met at church lol
I went to go see my friends band play, and afterwards I was going to leave, but something struck me and told me to go back to the venue because it was my last day of freedom before my parents got back from their trip and classes started up again (I was in college). So I went back and hung out with a bunch of people, one of them being the friends band drummer, and this was the first show he was playing with them. I didn’t know anyone else else there, but both of us spent the night flirting and messing with each other but also got drunk and didn’t get each others phone numbers. Both of us have ethnic names and neither one of us could spell them to find each other so I spent 3 months thinking “oh that drummer was so cute and charming” (apparently he thought the same about his vocalists friend, me lol). Then one day a mutual friend posted a status with a typo and we both commented making fun of the typo and found each other. We’re getting married this November!
Day after st paddy’s day in Ireland… dropped my hook up home… absolutely dying on the jaxx I swipe open tinder, get a few matches send out generic hi message… somehow agreed to a date Beverly hungover. Took her out for hangover grub. Somehow wrangled a second date. The absolute state of me… she’s one lucky wife 😍
Met in a niche Kik chat room, I just wanted to see her breasts to be fair!
2.5 yrs later I see them pretty regularly and we have an amazing life together & kids who get on really well.
Amazing where you can meet someone.
I met my spouse at work. We started working together when I was 21 and he was 39. He was married at the time and we became good friends. We confided in each other with our, at the time current relationships and the issues we were having; my ex was physically, mentally, and emotionally abuses and his ex was mentally and emotionally abusive. I finally was able to get away from my ex and several years later he divorced his wife. We have now been happily married for 13 years.
Plenty of fish
It was 2am. I couldn’t sleep. I decided to check my email (42,000 unread and counting …I really never looked at my emails….)
Had a message and checked him out. We started chatting, moved to chatting on messenger.
Think we arranged to meet a week or so after (I thought he’d done a runner in McDonald’s 😂).
And yeah…..10 years later we are still together 😍
I genuinely wasn’t really looking at the time. I’d had a very brief relationship that ended and had reactivated my dating profiles as part of the process.
Damn I got lucky 😂
met her while we were working at a summer camp and i was there because of another girl. stuff with that girl didnt work out and her and i started talking. we went to college at the same place and ended up dating all through college and got married after graduation
Tinder
Met my wife after a long term breakup. We both just wanted to have fun and not be serious but we fooled around and fell in love. This year will be 10 years together total.
Met AND matched with my BF on every dating site for two years on and off. (He’s younger than me) and that’s what had me hesitant. We’d match, talk a little, then I’d disappear because I felt weird with him being younger. Finally, one day, I just said, “eff it, what’s the worst that could happen?”.
That day, we went for a drive, and when we came back, neither one of us could shut up or stay away from the other. We climbed in his backseat, and talked for hours, until we both fell asleep, because nobody wanted to leave.
Almost three years later, and we still would live in each other’s skin if we could.
We’d been working in a Virgin Megastore for about a year and we’d been out to the pub with everyone else a few times but I was your classically clueless guy regarding her hints and it was only when I was unloading a delivery and she hit me with a megawatt smile and the driver said I should ask her out.
So the next day I went up to her as she was setting up the tills for the day and I stammered the I wanted to know if she’d like to go out sometime.
Were still together 17 years later
I had a crush on a classmate of mine, he asked me to go shopping with him and some of his friends, turns out his best friend was the love of my life and we’ve been together for 25 years now.
We started dating after being together 3 times, we just felt right together.
I knew her sister and iam sorry i went to the party.
I had recently become homeless and some friends of mine let me come stay at their place, my now husband was their room mate and we became great friends just hanging out and then we had a fun night (yehaw lmao) and a week later he asked if I’d be his girlfriend and I said yes. Now we have two babies and we’re working on buying our own house 🥰
Facebook dating. I was just about to delete my profile after two miserable dates and he liked my profile as I was on so looked at it. Chatted for a week, then three dates within five days, and now been together for six months
High school, start of freshman year.
Tinder. Moved in together in 2 months and still together now with our own place 💕 3 and a half years and going strong xx
REAL NEWS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN CECOT !!!!THOSE IMAGES ARE DISTURBING !!! LETS NOT LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF PLS SHARE
We had a class together in college. It was a very big class (250 students). I had been admiring her since day one. Two weeks into class, the teach assigns a group project. The girl I’m sitting next to quickly asks if I wanted to pair up and I agreed. Then she said she’d go look for other members. She went straight up the girl I had been admiring since the beginning and got her in our group. As we were leaving class we started chatting and we had mutual friends. I invited her to my apartment to watch South Park and smoke weed and we’re still together 14 years later!
Went to a homecoming football game. Friend of mine told me her friend thought I was cute. Friend of mine invited me over to her friends house after the game. Decided to go over there. Saw friend of my friend’s sister. Got her number from my friend. Started talking. We have been together ever since. Coming up on 19 years together, 14 years married and have three kids now.
Side note. I was already dating someone while talking to girl I met. GF at time broke up with me a couple weeks later and I started dating my current wife.
I subscribed to the Patreon of a BL Webtoon I really like and that access included a Discord server. I noticed he was pretty active in the server and was really funny and made great memes. A group of us in the server started playing Minecraft together and him and I would be on a lot. We played constantly, just building cool shit and having fun talking in the VC. Feelings developed and eventually I flew out to meet him in AZ (from NC). We’re still together and long-distance, except he’s in Alaska for now. It’s hard but we make it work haha. Got burnt out on Minecraft for a while but I think we’re getting back into it, especially now that he’s back into streaming.
We started talking online in early March I guess. And he invited me out to dinner on a Friday evening. So we went to a Chinese restaurant and then it was still pretty early. It was like 630 or seven. So we went to a park right on the river.
He suddenly says to me “I give women that meet men online a lot of credit. You never know if you’re meeting a serial killer “
I froze. Looked around. It was like 1030 at night? The park was empty. I was about 6 feet from the water. With this man, that I knew his proclivities, and that he had multiple black belts. And I thought to myself “oh shit! I’ve made a horrible mistake”
So I got up, told him I was tired, and ran away and drove home.
The next night and I to his house and fucked Him.
Now? We’re together 17 years.., married 9.
Our state’s renaissance festival! We arrived with separate parts of the friend group. I saw him as we approached, having no idea we were meeting up with him and thought he was the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen. I still think so. We get married on May 1 lol
Tinder, we matched, neither wanted long term at the time. We dated other people for months and eventually I was over hooking up and casually dating so I redownloaded apps with the intention of finding someone I liked and she was the first person I saw. Now we are in it for the long run.
We dated for a few months back in high school… Broke up for some childish reason, hey, we were kids.. but we reconnected in our adult life VIA Instagram. Have been rocking and rolling for three years since and this is by far one of the happiest and healthiest relationships I’ve ever had.
We met on hinge. Now married and expecting.
Was at a friend’s house all smoking , she needed to go home and it was late so offered to drive her home since we all lived within 5 mins of each other, asked for her number if she wanted to smoke sometime and became best friends for 3 years after that than finally made a move and we’ve Been dating for 5 years since that . Hahaha mans got out of the friendzone so there’s hope!
Work
LOL i met a guy from tinder, he came over and brought wine. We sat and chatted for a bit, then he told me his baby mama was texting him that their son wanted to go back to his dad’s. He left, but let me keep the wine.
I drank a lot….and i got a message on tinder that said “hey.” Normally, i dont respond to messages that just say hey, but this time i did. We talked a little, and i asked him if he wanted to come over. So he did, i was outside smoking a cigarette when he got there. We hung out in my apartment for a bit, y’all, i am BOLD when i’m drunk. I literally laid my head on his lap, like what?
Anyway, we hung out, then we went for a drive. We both really enjoyed the time together. He went back to his apartment that night, and we ended up seeing each other every day after that. We got married in 2023 and have a 4 month old daughter now ❤️
Edit: i dont recommend doing this, i had no hope left for my life. I understand what i did was really dangerous
In high school. She was assigned to my study hall table. One year later I asked her if we could start dating. We have been married several years.
She was my manager at McDonald’s 25 yrs ago. She’s still my boss today
Met through the Bumble dating app
We texted sparingly, but hopped on a call to get a better feel of each other. Talked for an hour or two. Then he planned our first date. He came off a little too serious initially, but as our date progressed he became more relaxed. I fell for him on our third date, and was ready to make it official with him whenever he felt the same for me and was ready. At the end of our third date, I asked if I could kiss him. He thought it was a little too early for that, and I said “on the cheek?” I kissed his cheek and we went our separate ways. He said he sort of beat himself up after that because he thought he messed up for rejecting me and that I probably thought he didn’t like me after that. We officially started dating since our fourth date. Then became engaged a little over 6 months. Planning our wedding party and also now happily expecting.
Intentionality is really powerful. It’s amazing how much your life can transform for being intentional and taking action.
He and I were in a place in our lives that we were ready for our life partner, so we were really putting ourselves out there and being intentional and upfront about what we were looking for. He was searching for a little while longer than I have, and admitted to me he was starting to lose hope. Something sweet he said to me early on in our talking stage, “I used to ask my coworkers and relatives when did they know they wanted to marry the person they’re married to now. They all just said something like ‘you just know.’ I would laugh at them. It just didn’t make any sense. But now… I think I’ll have to go and apologize.”
We were in drug court of all places. We had both been locked up for unrelated charges and when we got out, we were put into a drug rehabilitation program. I noticed there was a new girl and realized we have the same tattoo in our ears. I have a blue heart in my right ear and she has a red heart in hers. We started working at the same place and the rest is history.
He was my boss we stimulated each other for two years and then gave in to temptations. We are seven years deep and it’s the story of my naughtiest dreams
Saw her on the dancefloor. Kissed her out of the blue and we’re married 26 years now.
I was playing wow with my bestie and we were doing old content achievements. We needed a third and the love of my life joined. Years later we got together.
I had just gotten out of a pretty rocky relationship. My friend set me up with his fiancé’s cousin. I made it very clear to her the situation I was in and that I was still healing, that didn’t sway her. I told her I had bad trust issues from the previous relationship, that didn’t sway her. She told me we can start as friends and go from there. So we planned a date to see Christmas lights together. I fell in love walking through those lights with her, she was just so graceful and feminine in the best way possible. We walked through those gardens and lights for almost 3 hours just talking and laughing like we had known each other our whole lives. I knew then my troubles from the last relationship were nothing. She healed me in so many ways, and I never asked her to. She just did it out of the kindness of her heart. I told her my problems and she didnt flinch, she knew she could solve em. In our whole relationship she has never changed from the woman i first met, never switched up or gave up on me. I’ve never felt a love like hers, I’m hooked for life now 🙂 I love you Lisa
TLDR I was drunk and being a messy bitch, then lost my purse. He wanted to make sure I got home okay. We’ve now been together for over a year.
I went out to a bar because it was the bartender’s birthday. While there, I met two guys who invited me to go bar hopping with them. So I wished my bartender friend adieu, and off we went! Stopped at one bar and had a drink or two, and then we ended up in a karaoke spot. I’d always wanted to try my hand at karaoke! Now, I had liquid courage and the encouragement of my newfound acquaintances, so I signed myself right up. When the time came, I chose a certified bop: Shania Twain’s opus, her pièce de résistance, “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” It was a beautifully screechy rendition, if I say so myself.
I finish my set and return to my spot at the bar with said acquaintances. I felt great! I didn’t care if I sounded good; I sang my heart out! Well, some gentleman seemed to find my voice that of a siren. He approached. Somehow, his arm ended up around my shoulder. My fellow Redditor, I looked at this man in my drunken state. He was taller than I (in heels! I’m 5’7″!). His beard seemed luscious. I said to myself, This man is a Viking, and I want him to pillage my village. So, of course, when he invited us to the next spot, I was happy to oblige. And again, off we went!
We make it to the last location, a combination deli (the front) and bar (the back). My new Viking friend tells us he’ll be getting a sammie to eat, so we enjoy ourselves, shmoozing in the bar area. At some point, as is bound to happen during a night of drinking, I feel the need to relieve myself. Before I go to the restroom, I take my purse to the Viking and ask him (1) to watch my purse and (2) to find me when it’s time to leave so I can leave with him. The Viking enthusiastically agrees, in between happy bites of his delicious looking sammie. So I go and tinkle, then return to the bar.
Time passes, and the bartender of this establishment begins the “alrighty get the fuck out” proceedings. I return to the front (deli)….where is my Viking?! VIKING? WHERE IS MY VIKING?! Panic ensues. WHERE IS MY VIKING?! WHERE IS MY PURSE?! VIKING?! PURSE?! PURSE?!
VIKING STOLE MY PURSE.
I become a banshee. I am screeching. I am bewildered. I look like the caveman Spongebob meme. The bar has now fully emptied. I am on the sidewalk, searching through trashcans, asking passersby if they saw Viking with Purse. My new acquaintances have already called their chariots and left.
In my frenzy, I was able to bring random strangers into my search. As the reality begins to set in (that fucking Viking was a fucking Viking and I have been pillaged!!!), another group of gentlemen pass by and inquire about my frenzied state. One of them calls over to a friend nearby, who then invites us all over to his home as a place for me to calm the absolute fuck down. By this point, I’ve stopped searching and accepted that Purse is long gone. So I go down the street to this stranger’s house, with these strange men.
We get to this man’s house and begin to shoot the shit. Conversation is flying in every direction. At one point, I’m trying out a VR headset. What else happens? Who knows, I was fucked up! Eventually, I look at the time – it’s past 4 am. I’ve calmed down. It’s time for me to go.
One of the men decides to leave at the same time I do. We exchanged numbers, and he asked me to let him know when I got home. That led to us talking a bit more, going on some dates…and here we are, over 1 year later.
Also, I got Purse back a couple of weeks later! The police were involved, but Viking was following directions and watching Purse as instructed. A drunken mistake with wonderful consequences.
We were both members of the same Christian union at university and I was invited to join a prayer triplet by a mutual friend with him. Soon we were meeting without our triplet.
My partner and I have been together since we were 18, and now we are almost 30. I wasn’t even out yet as a gay person but we became friends and lived in the same living learning community (music) in college. Sadly, I was drunk when we first met, but I still remember what he was wearing and what he looks like very clearly, to this day. We finally decided to get married after all this time and I’m very happy to have married him, even though I was very scared. I couldn’t imagine my life without him.
We actually met on a double date, but were originally there with other people. I was with his friend and he had brought another girl. We had seen each other at the gym but never spoke to each other until this night, and he asked for my number before the night was over. And he asked in front of his friend and his date, no shame whatsoever. We’ve now been together for 6 years this month 🙂
I was the dm of a D&D game that happened all summer at my friends lake house, every day we’d just smoke weed and have a game going with a few core friends and anyone who swung by to pick up weed or something were welcome to stay. She showed up wanting to play D&D. She was Janice Winklebotton, a gnome bard. I fell in love that summer and we now live together and have been together almost 7 years
I was divorced and had just picked my 2 yo son up for the weekend; got a call from a co-worker’s wife and her close friend that a friend of theirs had been stood up for a blind date and they were doing some bar-hopping to cheer her up, would it be ok if they stopped by to say hello? Kid was in bed and I was just hanging out so I said “Sure!”
Within 30 minutes they were at my front door, the first words she said to me were “Where’s your bathroom?” as she shoved a partial six pack of beer into my chest. A month later we had our first date, were married 9 months later – and will celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary this July.
Me and 2 friends were being set up with some guys as some kind of a joke. Well my 1 friend was so desperate for a boyfriend she purposely picked a day I couldn’t do it. (I felt like she wanted first pick). They went, spent time together they left. She liked the oldest guy and was trying texting with him but he wasn’t really in to her. Well I messaged the guy saying “ sorry I couldn’t make it because I had to work”. Well we talk for a week and decide to meet up. Long story short married for 12 years with 3 kids.
The friend ended the friendship with me because she said she had different beliefs than me but I think she was pissed he liked me over her….
my junior year of high school, i broke up with my boyfriend of 10 months and it absolutely broke me. i was so confused and angry that i told myself i wouldn’t date for the rest of high school. to make me a little bit happier, i decided to audition for my school’s talent show. i’m a dancer, and i performed in an ensemble and as a soloist. there were 2 bands playing and a few more dancers, and some others. in one of the bands, there were 6 guys. i didn’t think any of them were necessarily attractive, but i knew most of them pretty well. at this point, i missed being in a relationship so much that i constantly was looking around for guys to talk to. but none of them seemed good enough, or they had plans after high school that i could not get myself into and knew would not work.
so, in this band of 6 guys, there was one guy that i had never seen before. he wasn’t new to the band, just some guy i didn’t know. but i thought he was gorgeous. he was the lead guitarist too, which i thought was really attractive. the clothes he wore were very similar to mine, and his hair was messy and blonde. it was clear that he was a heavy metalhead, just like me. after the talent show ended, his band ended up getting 1st place and my dance group got 2nd place. i ended up finding out the name of this pretty guy in the band and i added him on social media.
i started a convo with him, and it turned out that we had a whole lot in common. i IMMEDIATELY had a fat crush on him. i hadn’t even met him in person yet and i was already searching for him in the hallways, and when i saw him, my heart would drop and i would freeze out of nervousness. he eventually asked me to get coffee and meet in person, i was so freaking excited, and he was too. we ended up clicking pretty well. about 2 months later, he asked me to be his girlfriend and of COURSE i said yes. he is the most amazing man i’ve ever met, and we ended up dating. we’re still dating to this day and we’re moving in together this summer 🙂
In the 8th grade, when we were 13 years old, we got new seat assignments in home room for the spring semester. Never really noticed her before, but I ended up sitting next to her. We only lived a few blocks apart and one day, I walked her home. I hung out front with her until she had to go in for dinner. We agreed to go back out after. About an hour later, I came back and we talked until about 9pm out in front of her house. She was sitting on a blue Schwin bicycle. Thus became the legend of “The little girl on the blue bike” in our family. I literally floated all the way home that night. My heart was hers.
Dated all through high school, married after graduation, and have been married 51 years.
All true.
Met her on Tinder. I’m a few years older and we were both kinda hesitant on meeting up. We had a lot in common though and one of those common interests was psychedelics. I had some and so did she and we decided to meet up and maybe we would dose depending on the vibe. She brought a friend with her as a “safety” I suppose. Nearly 6 years later (married for 3 1/2) we’re on a long strange trip still just a lot less LSD…
We met in a military psychiatric unit! 😂 We just ended up in the same hospital and we didn’t talk until one day everyone was playing games (like uno, cards, chess, etc.) I had never played chess before but I watched them play to try and figure it out. Someone then suggested I play against my now partner. I asked a few questions to make sure I was right on how the pieces moved then we played. I beat him in like 6 moves. We were both laughing uncontrollably and insanely red the whole time. Although there wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing we have been inseparable since! Now living together and about to get married! (And yes, we still play chess regularly!)
i was a waitress. my hubby & his family were regulars. we were always friends on snapchat, out of nowhere i asked what he was doing tonight & we hung out. been inseparable since then 🤣 i hate telling our kids this story
Met her on one of the online dating apps, we both were from different country.
Getting married this year
We were 14 (now 66). Her friend had a crush on my friend and like most teens we couldn’t do anything alone so when they wanted to hang out we all had to hang out. The first time I saw her I was immediately attracted. I don’t know if it was a teen boy’s horniness or actually love at first sight, but here we are 50+ years later. But believe me when I say there have been lots of bumps over the years.
I was at a party with a bunch of people who I didn’t know. I had actually come along with a friend I was interested in but it wasn’t mutual. I was trying hard to mingle but failing miserably. I’m not the most socially talented. However I had managed to find some mutual interests with a group when one of them mentioned, jokingly that I couldn’t hangout with them because I was too tall. The other guys laughed and agreed that tall guys tend to have better luck. I laughed along when up walks this gorgeous brunette who looks right at me and introduces herself. They all laughed and walked off and the two of us hit it off. We spent the rest of the evening against a wall talking. I couldn’t tell you what was talked about, but I married her 20+ years ago and love telling that story.
We were both apart of a group for a video game. I was more involved with the game on the development side, but I wasn’t exactly an employee- but better described as an intern. Anyway, they were super toxic and it was like being in a twilight zone or something. Being kind and nice to people was seen as rude and toxic, but being toxic and rude was seen as being cool, funny, friendly. A lot of shit happened that left us constantly like “what… the hell am I seeing, Is this even real?”
I met him while he was there and we bonded over gossiping over the absurd drama we were witnessing, it was so surreal to see everyone do hurtful, toxic behaviors and other people eating it all up like their shit was golden rays of sunshine to worship and applaud. No one cared that this one guy straight up harassed and bullied another member as we sat and watched, no one cared to do anything to stop it. It was all fine and dandy behavior but if either me, and my now boyfriend spoke up or anything, we were the demons. We were all what was wrong with the world–their world I guess.
We talked and talked and hung out endlessly because it was like finding the only other right minded, morally right headed person in what was like walking into an upside-down, backwards world every day. It actually showed us both that we both think the exact same way and have the same ideas and opinions. It made us really close and we were best friends for 2 years before we started dating, obviously he’s still my best friend but we love each other deeply. It’s been 4 years now. I actually wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Kindergarten… I threw a toy car to her head. She tried to make a spell on me… And that was it… Best friends for 20 years, lovers for 5 years…
I was traveling with some friends in Egypt when a friend created a WhatsApp group and added us to celebrate getting hired at a pharmacy. He said that the weekend of my return we would meet at a bar to drink and eat something, there were people in the WhatsApp group that I didn’t know and well we all started talking to each other. One of them was HIM, he asked me the best questions and I really enjoyed his recommendations during the last days of the trip. When I came back, after my friend’s celebration, we kissed in the back of the bar. The rest is history…
Met him through an app before Tinder was a thing.
That same day I was also talking to another guy.
When the workday was over one of the guys messaged me and said I was apparently talking to his roommate as well. LOL
Our first in person meeting was a couple weeks after our messages. I was still talking to both of them.
This one night I got cut from my service job so me and a bunch of coworkers decided to go to a bar.
I told him what I was up to and apparently they lived close by. That night one roommate turned into bed early so it was only one that met me.
He actually had to “borrow” his roommates car to meet me because his car was broken down. LOL
I was looking a hot mess and he was looking as cute as ever. Way better than his profile pictures.
I was in my late 20’s and decided I’d give more people a chance and look beyond looks on their profile pictures.
We dated for 8 yrs and have been married for 8 now with a little one.
Still best friends with his roommate.
ETA: it also turned out I had recently met his old middle school best friend and could’ve met him naturally because we shared mutual friends. Small world.
Very simple we just meet in an game found commen intrest startet chating found out we are in the same region blah blah etc etc (excuse my grammer i suck on the phone)
i went to a diner with my roommate after going to the club and my now boyfriend was standing in front of us in line (i thought he was gorgeous right away). multiple things happened that led to us talking and i, tipsy as hell, told him—and i quote—“i think i’m in love with you” after like two minutes of talking 😭 he asked for my number and i told him to pinky promise he wouldn’t ghost me (thankfully he didn’t!!)
I met my husband on a global Among Us server on Discord of all things. I had gotten super obsessed with the game and didn’t even realize you could go online and use voice chat. I was just playing on my phone like a total casual lol. Out of all the full server rooms, I randomly landed in his.
And not only that, but it was only my second day using Discord. Like, ever lmao. We lived 1,386 miles apart at the time, and the wildest part is that I was already getting transferred to his area for work.
He doesn’t even like global servers! He usually sticks to people he knows but that night a friend convinced him to hop on just that once.
Now we’re married, and it still blows my mind. I’m a hardcore introvert and never in a million years thought I’d meet someone through Discord lol. But he’s amazing, healthy, and treats me right. So seriously, have hope. Mine felt fully arranged by the universe lol.
Him and a mate gate crashed our beach party (it was new years and there were lots of little groups, they were visiting them all), we didn’t get together then but then a couple of months later I was out clubbing and we randomly met up (it was quite random because neither of us live near the city where the best bars are yet there we were). It grew from there and we’ve been married for 13 years
My boyfriend used to be my boss at one of my old jobs. When I came back after I was let go from my old job, he just started texting me and we hit it off from there. Kept it a secret when we were working together due to professionalism until I left for my current job. Been together for 3 years now
Meet at a local bar on Taco Tuesday. I turned around on the patio to the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever seen. I introduced myself to which she replied, “oh I’ve heard of you…” (I was a bit of a man-around-town and had dated her friend back in high school). Somehow I got past that awkward intro and we’ve been together 17 years in May.
I was a supervisor at a store where we had been looking for a manager for about 6 months. Late September, the lady who was helping out to manage the store let us know they’d found someone to be store manager. He started October 4th, and at first tbh I thought he was a bit of a douche 😅 but there was instant chemistry between us. Problem was he was my boss and he was with someone else at the time.
Long story short, learned he was leaving that relationship anyways as it wasn’t working out, I left to another job, and three years later we’re living together happily. Funny thing was, he came along when I was least expecting it, and he’s actually my first relationship and I expect my last as well.
Ok Cupid. He responded within 15 minutes of me sending him a message and we’ve been together ever since. Long distance at first, living together 6 years now. That said, I was always extremely picky on OK Cupid. It usually took me 18 months to find someone I wanted to talk to. But when I did message someone, it always ended up in a long term relationship. This one is the one I’m keeping for always.
We used to work at blockbuster together. Both had bf/gf. Until we simultaneously didn’t. But don’t worry we waited until the second night to sleep together and the second month to get engaged.
Now we’ve been together almost 2 decades and have a badass 10 year old.
We were on the same discord for roleplay based on a videogame. Someone in the discord made a racist-ass comment, and he IMMEDIATELY jumped their ass. I knew immediately that I wanted to be this person’s friend. About 4 years later, and he’s my amazing, wonderful, beautiful partner.
Work
Attended a work function – took some drink courage and chatted with her all evening.
Exchanged numbers and called her the next couple of nights later to go out for more drinks.
Then she started calling me and just chatted on the phone .
Started mingling with her friends and ended up seeing her often
In the before times when the internet sounded like a dying robot there was Yahoo/AOL personals (think Tinder but with an early 2000 interface and no swiping right). We met online, that turned to phone calls lasting late into the night, which turned into a decades long relationship and marriage. I used to be so embarrassed to tell people we met online because back then it wasn’t how people met. I guess we were just ahead of the times because now it seems like that’s the main way people meet.
I changed her tire
I was 27 and was engaged to an abusive asshole, was trying to get the courage to leave him. We had been together for nearly 6 years and he had isolated me from my friends and my family and I was not in a good place
Changed jobs, met this sweet young man who became my workplace buddy. Realised I was developing feelings and finally got the courage to dump the asshole.
Started seeing sweet young man and then bam, 4 months later we were pregnant. That was 27 years ago. We now have 3 boys aged 26, 21 and 16.
It can happen and it can happen quick!
We grew up in the same town and growing up, went to the same parties, and I knew of him! He was always in a long-term relationship and according to him at one of these parties I was talking to him (to be fair he was walking the fridge where my drinks were) and his girlfriend was asking how he knew me, and he said I don’t know her. We just started talking in the kitchen!
Three years are so go by, and I see him at a mutual friends birthday, and I see him on a dating app a couple months later and try to strike up a conversation and he doesn’t respond…
Fast-forward another year, my friend knew that I was struggling in the dating world, and she said that he was interested in me… I found this very hard to believe and we went on a double date and we’ve been together ever since!
After our first date 25 days later, he asked me to be his girlfriend and about a week after he asked me to be his girlfriend. He told me he loves me and now we live together and are very happy!
I met my wife at a pub. I walked past and she smiled then called me back over to light her friends cigarette. I didn’t really talk to the friend at all just this girl that lit up my world. That was 28yrs, 9 months, 4 days and 12 hrs ago, approximately.
He was actually my very first relationship ever in high school. Since we were both emotional teens, obviously it didn’t end well and we went our separate ways, graduated, etc etc. 15 years later we ended up reconnecting and started dating again. We celebrate 3 years in October 🩷
We were introduced when I was hanging at a friend’s house. I made her a burger, we chatted, I asked for her number and called her the next day. We have spent maybe two weekends apart since then. That’ll be 25 years ago this year.
We started working at this busy family pub. I was fresh out of uni and waiting on a graduate contract to come through. I’d been dumped and was living in a friends spare room feeling like I’d hit rock bottom. Leaving uni and needing to take a job working bar felt like a step backwards but I needed the money. He came on as the manager – he was in a similar career position and felt things were going wrong.
Anyways, things were professional. I remember meeting him to this day but this was my workplace and I wasn’t about to mess around. Found out through small talk he had a long term partner. No problem. I respect that.
He ended up leaving and I stayed on. I was sad to see him go. I still had his number from work but as far as I was concerned he was taken. He messaged me months later asking if I wanted any bacon. The worst chat up line going but he had pigs. I had no idea this was his attempts to see me but I wasn’t about to turn down bacon. Another time he sent out a send all kinda Snapchat asking if anyone could bring food. Him and some guys I knew were working late farming. I knew he was the sort of guy who would help out a friend if they asked and I was only ten mins away so said sure. Again. No clue it was him flirting.
He eventually relented and asked me for a drink. The penny finally dropped he was single. After talking we realised we both had that moment of meeting each other where (cliché caution) our eyes locked and it was like we only saw each other in a busy room. Turns out he ended things with his partner not because of me exactly but because he realised he liked me and it wasn’t right to stay with someone if he could have feelings for someone else. They’d split up 5 months ago.
7 years later and we’re still together and engaged with a home and dogs. It just goes to show that what was a really shitty time in both of our lives ended in us meeting our soul mate. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.
I was teaching English in Japan. My coworker (Japanese female) was wearing a green plaid mini skirt with knee high leather boots. The boots had heals too. She had a black Dolce Gabreana turtleneck with brown leather elbow patches. We have been married 23 years. My wife is hot and I love her
We met on bumble. Texted and talked on the phone every day for hours. Played some video games. Met up and have been inseparable ever since.
In 2015 I (gay man) started a new job. At the end of my onboarding day, this young guy from IT came and gave us all our computers. We made eye contact – instant connection. A few days later, I come out of my office and start walking down the hall, he turns the corner walking towards me. Just as we pass he gave me an old-school wink and that’s when I knew – he was trouble. After a year of cat and mouse, we started an office romance. We ended up getting married in 2020 and about to celebrate our 5-year wedding anniversary.
We taught at the same
School. Done
I worked for him and had a bit of a crush. Never made any moves and kept it very professional, until my last day there (decided to leave for a better opportunity) when I asked him out for coffee and he said yes. We’ve been together ever since and it’s been nothing short of amazing.
We had mutual friends in high school and a couple classes together. We became really close friends and started dating. He was my first everything. Unfortunately he got kicked out of where he was living and had to move away. Fast forward 11 years and he texted me out of the blue. He “just wanted to see how I was doing” but we never stopped talking. He still lives 1.5hrs away but as adults now it’s doable. I’ve never been happier
I had a dream about them before I even meet them
We were both in college getting our industrial engineering bachelor’s. We had a class in common, but didn’t know each other at the time.
We were grouping up to do a project and a mutual friend of ours called her to be part of our group, which I objected as I didn’t know her and was worried she should be a lazy person lol.
At first neither of us was attracted to each other, but we ended getting along pretty well and have never skipped a message or a call to each other since 2017.
Couldn’t ask for a more beautiful and intelligent woman by my side.
I was an American GI stationed in South Korea and a ranking officer’s wife decided to play matchmaker. There was a Filipina lady working on post, said officer’s wife invited us both over for dinner, and it took off from there.
We celebrate 15 years next month.
I was anursing student and my husband was a hospital housekeeper. He almost hit me with a linen cart. We have been together for almost 7 years. Married for 4.
skool
met on hinge 🤷♀️ figured out we’re from different states but our hometowns share the same name. we’re together almost a year, planning on getting married and extending our blended family.
I was on Facebook dating for months and was over having the same creepy, multiple children having men/poly couples hitting on me, and treating me like a job interview. In an angry heat of the moment I put a very blunt bio of what I was looking for and what I didn’t tolerate.
My now boyfriend and I matched and he said he admired my bluntness. We talked for a long while, neither of us were really looking for a relationship, but a companionship. Go on a few casual dates, and enjoy each other’s company. I fought so hard not to like him only because I was burned before, or lead on.
He was also extremely hurt in previous relationships too. So neither of us pushed anything other than to keep texting and talking on the phone. Our schedules also never aligned to meet up, but one night it did. I remember getting ready and feeling fine. When I ubered to the restaurant I was so nervous, and was shaking. When I finally saw him, he gave me a huge hug and kissed me on the cheek.
The date was easy. Felt like I knew him forever, and I knew this was different.
(I actually ended up getting him sick since I kissed him, and he still wanted to see me.)
Our first date was in March, we became a couple in April, and I met his whole family in May.
We just celebrated our year anniversary this passed Sunday. ❤️
Work. Arby’s. A bottle of Captain Morgan and I had a car.
Turns out it was actually love at first sight, but we needed the captain to hook us up.
We no longer drink like that, maybe a nip here and there of some fine tequila, but the captain is an incredible wingman if you just need to rip the bandaid off and fuck already lol
My dad was drunk with his uncle in a small town “Taco Time” fast food joint. It is a chain but there’s only a dozen or so around the west.
My dad told my great uncle he thought the cashier was cute and my unc drunkenly yelled at my mother “my nephew thinks you’re cute!”
I showed up about 13 months later and my parents are still going strong. They do have their conflicts and issues but seem to figure it out along the way.
Single rn but my only SO was a high school sweetheart (I moved states for college, we separated on good terms)
Was stuck in an abusive relationship with an ex of 3 years. One night my ex being cross faded confessed that he fell out of love for me and told me I have X amount of days to leave our rental. Next day acted like nothing happened. This was a repeated thing where my ex was constantly drunk and high. He’d say he hates me, sees me as a sex doll, roommate, hobo, whatever he can say to crush me. I checked out emotionally and considered us single. I needed time to find a place to go so I stayed tied to my ex, co existed with him for 4 months enduring the beatings, verbal abuse, false accusations of infidelity, all so I can make my grand escape. By day I was his girlfriend, evening time into early morning I was his free punching bag and sex toy.
I worked 2 jobs with no days off. 16 hour days for 2 years straight. Promises of our own house, new cars, future travel plans were all dreamed of from us both but my ex spent his paychecks on smoking, drinking, and without my knowledge, sex toys. He would freak out about how much I worked and how I was barely home. Upset we never had time together or I never had extra money to do anything together as a couple. All my paychecks went to bills and fuel towards our cars. Whatever was left was beer money in his eyes so he’d take whatever was left of my paychecks as compensation for blowing his paycheck for our house rent for me to sleep at when I was home. I eventually started hiding money from him so it was an escape mission money. He’d go through my bank statements so I’d have to buy groceries and get cash back as a way to hide that I was pulling money out. It worked.
One day I woke up to go to work and went to give my normal every morning routine kiss goodbye but I got slapped silly. Told me I was a bitch and to get in a car accident. He rolled over and went back to sleep in our bed. I walked to my car and sat in it staring at the front of the house and made my mind up that I had to leave. So I drove to my work and parked at the gas station next to my building and waited 2 hours for my ex to go to work. He checked my location every waking moment so I had to make it seem I was at work. When I got the notification that he left from a neighbor I drove back to my house and called my family. Begging them to help me get out and I’d explain everything to them. Within an hour my family shown up with 2 trucks and started hauling my stuff into the trucks. Took 2 hours but it was worth it. I found my months rent that my ex never sent into the office and took my money back. Grabbed my cat, clothes, some furniture and valuables. I left so much of my stuff but I didn’t care. I was free from 2 out of the 3 years of abuse.
Months went by still living in fear, afraid he’d find me. He eventually did and got me fired from my job. The other job I left because it would be a matter of time before he got me fired from the other place. I was harassed, verbally assaulted, and stalked for months from my ex and no police would help me. I basically disappeared from the 3 towns I knew he’d find me in so I moved. At my second job I left I connected with a coworker who was an ass to me. No idea why but eventually the asshole coworker stayed being friendly with me. Asking me questions, slowly getting to know me, remembering things I like and dislike, very subtle things but obvious. Took it very slow and eventually I offered a coffee date. Coworker about passed out from shock but accepted without hesitation.
Next day I brought coffee and set a time (hour before we clock into work) for coworker to show up. Dude showed up 30 minutes early and parked next to my car and had offered me to sit in his car and we sipped our coffee. For whatever reason I trauma dumped on this guy within 10 minutes of us talking. I guess I figured that if this guy was serious about me he needed to know the baggage I was carrying and working towards getting rid of. He listened intently even through my inaudible panic attack of explaining the war I was moving past from my ex. He waited until I finished before asking if I needed a hug and which I hesitantly accepted. Never in my life have I felt a wave of warmth and calmness in the war inside myself until I had his arms wrap around me. That hug lasted 10 minutes and when he let me go he started trauma dumping on me about his ex fiancée. She drained his bank account, put him in debt, cheated on him with a married man and with his 3 best friends. He was struggling to dig himself out of the hole she put him in for a whole year. He never trusted another woman in his life until he met me. Something about me made him change his mind and he was wanting to give love another shot if I was willing to give him a chance.
I offered again for a coffee date and he gladly accepted. Next day he arrived again 30 minutes early and we got right into talking about dreams, desires, and what we were looking for in a partner. We aligned so well it was kinda scary. At the end of our conversation we were wrapping up before we had to go into work I asked if I could touch his hair. It was shoulder length but so fluffy it was almost teasing me to touch it so I got a brave face and asked. Never heard him laugh so hard. He agreed and I ran my fingers through his hair. The bliss on his face from being touched by someone who made him happy was an amazing experience. Also his hair was so damn soft I was so happy touching it. Like a fluffy cat that is so fat you can’t help but to touch it. 5 minutes go by and I retracted my hand and he roughed his hair up and smiled at me. He asked if I felt better and I honestly did. He asked if it was alright if he could give me a kiss, if he’d be accepted a shot of a chance with me. I dont know if I was just so desperate for genuine affection with no strings attached or what but I felt myself panic when I accepted his offer of a kiss. It was like a stupid rom com you read from story books by the way we gave each other a small kiss. It was electrifying. I jumped out of his car and power walked away from him just trying to hide my burning face. I never felt like a high school girl but for the first time I wondered if it was like that.
Soon we went on dates, I went to his house and figured out quickly that he was living off nothing but water and peanut butter. It answered the question why he was scared of paying for dates or offering them because he had no money and was paying his debt. I did a 180° on his life and got him food, paid off his debt, made his ran down trailer house a home, and paid his bills so he could catch up and get the break that he deserved. Once he was able to spread his wings again he was set to succeed.
4 years later we have our own house, 3 vehicles, plenty of food, and our wonderful son. We are set to marry in a few years and still love each other harder and harder every day. We both came to heal from our traumas, built each other up, and can’t be apart. I love this man with my whole person. He means everything to me.
Although I miss his long fluffy hair. He got rid of it 2 years into our relationship for a more grown up dad look. He still looks yummy but I do miss his shaggy hair.
BeReal DMs… turns out our parents worked together when we were kids and had met him a year before but payed no attention we’ll be talked to my friends
I said “hey”. She said “sup?” Married the next day.
Chapter one: we went to elementary school together. He sat behind me in the fourth grade, and one day I turned around to him and asked if he had ever heard of Michael Jackson. He heard the name but didn’t know who he was, so I told him to go home and watch the Beat It music video. He was hooked and this would be a topic of conversation between us throughout the school year. That next summer Michael died and he was eager to see me on the first day of fifth grade to talk about it. I moved across town that summer and went to different middle schools and high schools, so we didn’t see each other after the fourth grade.
Chapter two: Sixteen years later I’m walking out of a dive bar in my town and a dude calls me over, and he says “hey, remember me?” I didn’t recognize this bearded man, so I said “…no.” He said “I used to sit behind you in the fourth grade.” and then I instantly recognized his eyes and his smile, behind that beard was the same face of that little boy from the fourth grade. I got so excited and I hugged him tightly. He asked me if I’m still an MJ fan, I said of course, he’ll always be my favorite. He told me that Michael was a catalyst for him becoming passionate about music and becoming a musician himself, and he’d been playing music for the last 15 years, and he’d always remembered the girl who introduced him to Michael Jackson.
Chapter three: a year later, it’s October first, and he hits me up out of the blue on social media and asked if I would be down to hang out sometime. He said he had some horror movies and would love to ring in the spooky season with me if I’m into that. I’m a huge Halloween girl. We met at his place that evening, I was wearing my halloweenie SpongeBob shirt, and he just happened to have all the Halloween episodes of SpongeBob on VHS, along with an extensive VHS collection and tons of classic horror movies. The rest is history.
AOL chatroom.
Xbox live 2009, modern warfare 2, online multi-player. It was a game of Search and destroy on Sub base. He trapped me in a corner with his riot shield… every round while I was sending messages. Most I’ve ever laughed on a video game. We’ve been best friends since, we’ve been together since 6/2/2012. Best decision I’ve ever made was to move across the country to be with him.
I’ve known my husband since grade school, but what sparked our relationship before dating was he put his hand through a table saw by accident cutting a piece of wood as a carpenter. As he was at the hospital he posted a picture of his freshly stitched up hand (which eventually got wrapped up in bandages to keep it from getting wet) on Snapchat. I then swiped up and said something along the lines of: that looks horrible! 😲 and he replies: “Yea, it doesn’t feel that great either. Ever since then, we’ve been together. 6 years of being together in total and almost 2 years of marriage 😌
Partied at a house every weekend while the parents were away every weekend. I was 18. She was a few years younger and would go away with her parents. It was her sister who had the parties. She decided to stay home one weekend. Friday night and I didn’t even know she was there. Came around the corner into an open stairway. There she was at the top talking to someone. I would like to say it was her hair, Dark and very long that attracted me. I like hair like that, but I followed that hair downward. Flowing over her shoulders down her back ending right at her ass. Yep I took one look at that ass fitted tightly into jeans and made an immediate note to self that I needed to get to know her. That was 53 years ago. Never regretted it
In the peak of my fent addiction I started a new job and was invited to a company dinner where we sat together and ended up talking all night long, he was also going through divorce and addiction himself and we really bonded that night. I later found out he was one of my supervisors and I felt like an idiot and apologized a million times for that night eventually weeks later he invited me and a friend of ours out to lunch after a meeting and since my car was absolute trash he offered to drive me there and back. At the end he told me he loved me we spent the whole day and night together talking and now we’re happily married with twin girls lol
I was in college and I had just broken up with my girlfriend that day. To get my mind off of it, I went out to a bar that night with a friend. My now partner walked up to me at the bar and told me that she recognized me because I was her teaching assistant for the class she had just started. The next day, I saw her in class, and honestly didn’t think much of it.
Serendipitously, I had Tinder on my phone (it’s a long story why – no I was not using it and I literally had forgotten to delete it from a dumb game night thing with friends months ago). I just so happened to open the app that night, and my partner was the first profile I saw. I swiped right, made a joke about getting fired from being a TA for matching with a student, and the rest is history.
It really felt like the universe shoved us together several times. We had found out that we had taken the same classes and had just missed each other all 4 years up to that point.
We met in college. So a lil back story, I dropped out of college in 2020 & went back in 2023. We met that fall semester, we had two classes together, one in the morning and the other one at like 1-2pm. We eventually became good friends and would get breakfast together every time after class. I developed a crush and he did too. He ended up asking me out on dates and we made it official Jan of 2024. 🥰
I decided to join the university band, and I saw a super attractive boy who played the electric guitar horribly, I thought he was very cute and I decided to look for him, a few days later I saw that he came to my singing class and I got very nervous and gave my best (he sang horrible) on the afternoon of that same day he wrote to me to tell me that my voice was driving him away and from there the rest is a beautiful story that continues to be built.
PS: we have both improved a lot in our skills, he is an excellent, very skilled guitarist and I love to sing whenever I can with the techniques I learned 😀
We met on Facebook dating. We talked for about two weeks and decided to meet. He had just gotten a new apartment so I went over and he cooked. Stayed about 6 hours. Started spending more and more time together ( he lived an hour away so it took some effort) and a few weeks later I moved in. Been together 3 years
In the elevator of the building, we lived in, struck up a conversation got a phone number. Went on a couple of dates. Didn’t think much was gonna happen and ended up hanging out and watching the tv show 24 every week . 17 years later , 3 kids + 2 dogs
I was a boy. She was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious. 🤘
It’s an embarassing but peak crazy teenage story. We were 17 & 16, her at the time abusive rapist boyfriend joined mine and my ex’s discord server (yes we were discord server mods). We became friends with the guy, guy complains and lies a shit ton about his gf, gf joins the server (which he then makes her leave). My ex and I were in a (forced) open relationship, the guy “broke up” with his girlfriend, so him and my ex started messing around. Found out he never broke up with the gf, gf finds out on her birthday he cheated, texts me asking if she can call me because she’s devastated about the guy but doesn’t have anyone to turn to. I say yes, we call, she cries, we become friends. We both break up with our exes and rebound with each other.
Almost 4.5 years later we’re moving in together, hopefully end of this year, and our exes are (thankfully) a far off distant memory.
Swiped right on each other on tinder. He was tall with a beard and brown eyes (my type), I am a redhead (his type). We both liked basketball. Coming up on 10 years together, married 5, a 6 mos old baby.
Not…
1972 and I was hitchhiking from NYC to California. He picked me up on the NJ Turnpike on his way home from work and said he would take me all the way to Cali. 6 hours later he asked me to come live with him. I said yes. We were married one year later and just had our 53rd anniversary.
I was fresh out of a breakup. My best friend from college was in town and invited me out to Korean karaoke with mutual friends. Her brother invited his best friend who was also visiting from out of town. I chose to sing Madonna’s Isla Bonita and he got “on stage” to sing along, as no one else knew the song. I found out later that neither did he :). He paid for the check so we all swapped Venmos to pay back our portions of the bill. After paying him back on Venmo he asked for my phone number in the payment comments. A few months later we had our first date and we’ve been going strong ever since. Coming up on 3 years. Here’s to many more!
We started chatting online around my birthday & he was such a sweetheart. We quickly became best friends. We just had so much in common & adored each other’s company. (We literally would stay up till 4 am just talking) Fast forward six months, he accidentally confesses that he’s in love with me. It was a month shy from when I realized I was falling for him, too. We lived in different countries, but we didn’t let that stop us. I lived in his hometown for 5 years & now we currently reside in mine. We’ve been together for 8 years, married for 7. We still stay up late at night, just yapping away. 💘
