Ight fellas. I want to hear some stories of how you met your current or previous girlfriends. I see dudes everywhere with amazing gfs but I never see any other dudes cold approaching other than me so I am perplexed on how they are meeting them. Plus I’m getting tired of the bar scene. It’s just the only place I know of to meet women. Rather than random suggestions I wanna hear things that actually happened/worked. The stories of how you guys met
How did you meet?

My last ex made me understand what people mean when they say their ex was crazy
Online. EHarmony.
Well it just my friend in uni tag her in his ig story so I just followed her purely cuz she’s cute then I hit her dm and start talking
Funnily enough we were the only 2 straight people at a gay pride festival…we have been married now for 15 years
At a local dive bar! I as sitting at the bar with a good friend, trying to catch the bartender’s eye for a new beer. A girl walks up, immediately flags down the bar and gets a new pitcher of beer. While it’s been filled, I made some comment about that not being fair. We chatted for a minute before she went back to her friends. Her conversation went something like, ‘Is he cute or am I beer goggling?’ (You’re beer goggling…) She came back for another beer to see if I’d strike up the conversation again. I did and we chatted for a couple of hours. I waved to her friends as they left her at the bar with a stranger (me). (Her friend caught hell from his wife for leaving her alone.)
Got her number, called her the next day and we started dating. Been married almost 25 years now.
Bumble believe it or not. Getting married in July!
We met each other on a video game over 10 years ago. Their parent met their partner on the same game. And we know another couple that met on a different game around the same time.
We met at the gym about 2.5 years ago. After a few months, I asked her out for a drink and the rest is history.
I met my wife at a mutual friend’s birthday party like 11 years ago. I was wearing a nerdy shirt and she liked that and we started talking.
I met my gf on a dating app. She was travelling in order to check out a country to live in and ultimately chose my country partly due to meeting me.
Mutual friends.
Met her in high school.
We were both in this program called “career center” where school district would bus students from every hs to the main building to take classes in the trades. She did photography and I did digital video.
Saw her once when we all had to head to an assembly. Took some years but I finally got the confidence to ask her and now she’s mine 🙂
On Tinder.
First gf: Jr high band
Second gf: college friend group
3rd gf: restaurant job
Wife: OK cupid
My wife was a blind date I met at a bar.
In 2006, I moved from Michigan to Florida after being unemployed for 6 months with 0 interviews. Got two job offers 2 weeks later. Started my new job and got an apartment right after. Decided I would join a dating website (Match) that I had seen on TV just for kicks. My wife messaged me a week later. We’ve been married just over 18 years.
An unavailable lady friend invited me to karaoke. I had just recently decided to start being more honest with people, so instead of just saying I was busy, I told her Karaoke wasn’t my thing. She pressed and said I really should come. So I did. She introduced me to my bride-to-be that night.
I wanted to buy a dog, a certain type in particular. There were none for adoption near me, but there was a breeder in my neck of the woods so I got in touch with her and before she’d even consider selling a pup to someone she wants to meet them, see how they interact with her dogs etc. She lived way out of town so it was about an hours drive to just go see them, but it went well and we ended up sitting chatting for ages with her dogs absolutely in love with me. She had no litter on the way in the near future but we stayed in touch and eventually a friend of hers interstate had pups available and I ended up getting a puppy from them. So at first it was just a business thing, but we were chatting every day, then spending time together and yeah, here we are 3 years later still together.
We met at college. Long story I’ll condense down – – she was the absolute most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I was about to cold approach her and ask her out but in a round about way, I found out she was deaf. She only communicated in sign language. I was bummed out about this but then had an epiphany moment. I concluded there was no reason I couldn’t learn ASL. So that’s what I did. I checked out some books from the library and a VHS tape. I learned the alphabet and a lot of handy phrases. But I was waaaaaay too confident in what I had learned – which was very little. I cold approached her……and it was bad. I was nervous and fumbling and she was confused. FORTUNATELY she read lips very well and verbally spoke in a thick “deaf voice. So in a hybrid of communication I was able to ask her out. She was shocked. She had never been asked out on a cold approach. She said yes. That was it. That was 25 years ago.
Track team at school.
Tinder and met up at a music festival.
Tinder and met at a board game cafe.
Tinder and met up for a walk during Covid.
Now hinge and met up for food.
All have been relationships of 1-4 years minus the most recent one since it’s too early for that.
We matched on Hinge when my ship docked in her country. The messaging had been going well but I’d been on the fence about meeting, I’d been out of the dating game for a loooong time so was pretty nervous, then the scuttlebutt was we were leaving so I put the big boy pants on and just asked to see her.
That was almost two months ago and we’ve met several times for multi-day visits with our next less than two weeks away.
Met her on IG through mutual friends
I joined a Discord server that was started for the town that I live in to game together. We made a community Minecraft server and spent days playing in a small group. Took a couple days but my gf and I started dming and hopping in vc just to talk. We’d talk for a while for a few days, then we hung out in person and the rest is history.
Indirectly through my ex-wife’s brother. Not with the idea that we would ever become a thing, that part came as a surprise to everyone
