If you have, or have had, a significant other, how did you meet him or her?

I’m just curious if most of you have done it online, like me.

I am terrible at approaching women in person, so most of the women I have dated have been from Match.

Hell, I met my ex-wife on a hook-up site; I posted pics of my male parts on my profile page lol. I looked to see what other guys had on their profiles, and practically all of them had at least one such pic. I didn’t want the women on there to think I had anything to hide, so yeah, at one time there were pics of my junk out there online lol. That’s not what made my ex go for me, though; she said what set me apart was that I was the first guy on there to talk to her like she was a real human being. Anyway, just a story I’ve never told on here. :slight_smile:

I guess I have no clue about the real world :flushed:

Why do you say that?

Wrong number text message… led to an invite to hang out and play pool with her and some of her friends… I was hoping for local friends and found more…

I met him through a friend. I never imagined we’d be a couple.

  1. No attraction
  2. No chemistry
  3. No common interests

But I absolutely love his

  1. loyalty
  2. dignity
  3. peacefulness
  4. Way of thinking

I just feel so comfortable and peaceful with him which is what attracted me. When he first asked me out, I said no.
He kind of convinced me.

No regrets… one of my best decisions in life.

We no longer have fun together though… plus I am ill… I have been questioning my life a lot.

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one…

Anyway,

I met my husband through a mutual friend at a bar.

It was back before internet dating became the standard.

We did it the old fashioned way,

Drunk hook up.

Yeah, my relationship with my ex-wife involved a lot less fun once I had a psychotic break, and that was the beginning of the end.

I just do not understand how many friends are happy with much less in much horrible relationships than me?

I do not know anyone around me, who is in a good relationship.

One guy does not shower, he stinks, he is overweight…
the other only likes to eat and does not help with the kids at all… like 0%
the other is a family oriented guy - he seems the best honestly I guess but he is cheap
the other is ugly and does not do much, he has a lot of money

I mean my surrounding is horrible.

I met my wife at a friend’s baby shower, it was probably her least favorite cousin at the time and it put points against me being friends with him. Her mother and grandmother loved me and tried to set us up on the spot.

Months later I was at a wedding in texas, some of my friends from world of warcraft were getting married. At the after party around midnight after I won a bet of getting one of the waitresses phone numbers (with a executive from EA games if I recall) my friend called me up drunk saying how his cousin wanted to date me, and I had to date her. He was really drunk, but at least I was too. Flew back the following day, she friended me on facebook a few weeks later. 4 months after dating we moved in together and ya. Been living together for 7 years now, married for 6.

Just to be sure to mention, I met her after I became ill. So if must be good at tricking women!

I met my husband on myspace back in college. It was a really irresponsible risky move. But glad it turned out okay.

I walk from my parents’ house to where I work, and back home after work. My current boyfriend must’ve liked what he saw in me, because he came outside of the restaurant where he worked to stop me on the sidewalk and start up a conversation with me, and one thing led to another after that. He’s got issues with depression, so he has some understanding of what it is like to be mentally ill.

I had a fiance once. I am unsure if that counts though.

I was tending the cigarette cage at the casino I worked for and this older short little dude with a fishing hat came up and tried to ask for cigarettes. He was stuttering and acting like he was quite special if you know what I mean and I thought to myself “oh how cute this little developmentally disabled man has a crush on me”.

After a few months of serving him I realized he could speak he had just been nervous. One day he showed up in a casino shirt and started working there. I told him that’s too bad because I don’t date coworkers anymore and he started to take off his shirt as if to quit his job. I thought that was sweet but it still didn’t win me over.

The thing that won me over was the day a close friend of mine died and I was having a terrible shift, he got off work a little before me and went to the flower shop and bought me a rose just to cheer me up. I thought it was so sweet I gave him a chance.

He’s amazing in bed so that helped a lot too! FYI he got fired because there was a rumor going around that we had sex during lunch break on the employee break room couch. It was weird though because the day after they fired him they gave me a buck an hour raise to make sure I would stay. Who knows?

Ty, u r an inspiration. I need to give this digital hook-up scene a shot. I have too much baggage, gonna fall over.

I met my husband at a scifi convention. I was just looking for some local friends and perhaps a gaming group, but then I saw this guy and I knew he was the one. I was too shy to go and talk to him, but fortunately, he must have known something was up with me because he came over to talk to me :slight_smile:
