Discord. She originally joined my server for emotes, but a few months in she started chatting in the server because the LGBT one she normally spent time in was beginning to get shitty. Over time we simply grew closer and talked a lot more -- math in particular, since we both love it. Things grew increasingly awkward until a sort of breaking point, and we've been going on a year and change now.

I met my wife in University. She sat at the front of the class because she likes to record audio of the professor to help her study. I was at the back cause my laptop had like, zero battery capabilities and I needed a plug in.

She is a very beautiful woman so I always noticed her. She was also well spoken when asking questions and honestly just seemed really cool.

About 2 weeks into classes she switched to the back seats as she had crutches from a slip and fall ankle injury. We started chatting and I mentioned I worked at a video game store. She told me that she thought that was cool and loved Link to the Past.

3 months later we were dating after spending nearly every day together in that time. That will be 9 years ago in December.

i dated the same girl through the majority of my college years, so when we broke up right after graduation, i was enjoying the single life. all of my friends were messing around on this popular new app called Tinder so I figured I'd give it a try.

most of the girls i met on there honestly werent that interesting, but with one girl i actually hit it off. i thought she seemed nice, we had a good convo, etc so we agreed to meet up at a bar in the southern part of the state (where she was staying with her parents for a few days).

the day of the date comes and i realize that its a long drive down there and i dont really want to go. the idea of meeting a girl on a phone app seemed really weird to me so i text her and try to flake. she was cool about it and we ended up agreeing to just meet halfway so i was said fuck it, ill go. apparently she was furious and her mom was the one who convinced her to give me a second chance lol.

so we end up meeting up, had a nice first date, a second date, etc, the rest is history. today we have been married 3 years and have a baby together.

the crazy part is how how improbable it was that we even met in the first place. at the time my now-wife lived nearby me, but the day after we matched she went and stayed with her parents in a far-away town. so had we not matched that one day on tinder and if her mom had no prodded her to go out with me we would have never met. we had no mutual friends so the chance that we'd ever cross paths was pretty much nonexistent. crazy how this shit works out

Met her at college when I was still with my ex. I am a loyal man, and so, though I found her cute, I made no move. Years later, newly single and pretty broken up about it, I drown my sorrow in MMO grinding. Joined the first guild to offer and invitation, fun times had for all, and about six months or so later I've made especially good friends with the rather private guild leader. We talk a lot. Then it turns out she's a girl. Then it turns it she's that cute girl from college.

She was a social recluse (what other type of person can manage a guild lol) who I've gotten to open up through most of this year. I'm her first time for everything. Not just the sex, but, fuckin', bagels. I can feel the chemical imprinting.

It's a little scary to have that much responsibility for someone, but I have to fuck up really bad to ruin this.

I've been official with my GF for...four days.

We met on Hinge...talked virtually for a couple months texting and video calls starting in April/May (what is time any more). We hit it off personality wise and got to finally meet in person when I moved into my new place in July.

First date was weird with, you know, COVID, but we reasoned that we are both responsible and that adding each other to our bubbles wasn't gonna shake things up too much. We got lunch and sat in a park and drank while listening to music lol.

We've gone on dates every few weeks the last months and official as of Monday lol. Seeing her tomorrow and gonna bake banana bread for her

Met her in pharmacy school up in New England.

She was in the class ahead of me and she was just sort of an enigma. She was a quiet type, but she always had her one classmate friend (and roommate) with her and they both always dressed to the nines. A classy pair.

I took an interest in her from the jump but always felt that she was out of my league (not a bad guy myself as apparently other women were interested in me concurrently). I met my now wife finally at a potluck dinner organized by one of the student organizations (I joined the group solely to meet her). Her friends knew I liked her and my friends knew I liked her. Everybody made sure we met and so we did. Talked for like an hour outside on a cold November night.

Interesting thing though was that I learned we actually attended the same college in undergrad in Philly at the same time - indeed, we had the same degree program and lived literally across the street from each other. We were probably even classmates back then but neither of us could remember the other.

Met my wife in high school marching band but we weren't friends really. Years later a mutual band friend passed away and I was gathering donations for his mom and brother, and she texted me and donated. We met up at the service and talked and a month or two later I asked her out. She said yes, and here we are 7.5 years later and married.

OkCupid. We met up for a picnic in the park, and it started raining shortly after we finished eating, but we'd packed an umbrella ahead of time. We headed back to his place for a bit and drew together, and then after it stopped raining, we took a walk down to the local arcade bar. It was nice.

Family reunion. My parents and I were never close to the rest of our family but we decided to attend a family reunion since my brother was dying. A few hours in I get to talking to this cute af girl at the bar/drinks table area. Literal hours go by and were inseparable. Finally its time to go and we depart just as my mom comes looking for me. She says oh thats nice you met your cousin Julie. I was like uhh yeah (did not tell her we fooled around behind the pool house). Long story short I no longer talk to my parents but Julie and I are going strong now for 4 years.

Oddly enough, Craigslist. Not the personals though. I was selling my old laptop and we had instant chemistry on meeting. Once the sale was complete and I knew the flirting wasn't just to try and get a better deal (we didn't alter the agreed on price), I asked her out and we've been together for almost 5 years now. We got married over the summer.

It's funny to tell people we met on Craigslist because they instantly think of the personals.

Heard about this then-recent dating/hook-up app called Tinder, was honestly just looking for an easy lay

Ended up marrying the first girl I talked to (I don't think I tindered right haha)

What can I say she just ticked all the boxes. That was 6 years ago now and been married almost 1. Have a mortgage together and will probably have kids in a couple of years or so as well

I love her

Bumble. She had two photos wearing a pro wrestling and Mass Effect t-shirt respectively, and I just remember thinking "holy crap, this is the only one I really hope matches and messages me back".

Been dating for 2 years this December.

Ballroom dancing.

But technically 8 months previously, when I was at a Brandon Sanderson signing with a buddy and had to drive him back early for a date. Said hi to his date before driving off... that was her, apparently. Lol.
