Great story! (of course I hope she was ok) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet/page/2#post-2842823 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 09:48:11 +0000 BUNBUN 2842823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't sure when we first met, we went to Jr. High and HS together! He was first pointed out to me sometime during my sophomore year in HS (I think?). We were not friends, but we did have some friends in common. I think I first spoke to him senior year when he sat behind me in a class.<br /> We became friendly in college because our moms ran into each other at the grocery store before Thanksgiving and his mom said "Oh, (DH) can give her a ride home for Thanksgiving, it's on his way" He did, but I fell asleep for 4 hrs of the 5 hr trip! But we had lunch later that year when we were both feeling homesick. Over the next few years, we would get dinner about 1-2 xs a year to catch up. Summer before senior year of college, we hung out a lot. He wanted to start something, I didn't want to do long distance...he wore me down and showed me that he was serious about making long-distance work!<br /> We dated for 10 YEARS before we got married (1 year long distance in college, 6 years long-distance in grad school). We'll be married 7 years in September :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet/page/2#post-2842759 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 23:11:09 +0000 AngelicOne 2842759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Online 20 yrs ago in a online chatroom type thing.

DH was driving. 👩🏼‍⚕️👨🏽‍⚕️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet/page/2#post-2842724 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 20:00:09 +0000 Oopdah 2842724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was managing the house I rented a room in during my internship in college. He had a girlfriend while we became friends. He eventually broke it off with her and not long after initiated a "fun and awkward" conversation (he literally said, "want to have a fun, awkward conversation?") in which he asked me to consider starting a relationship with him. Lol, how direct! Seemed like maybe a bad idea at first, but I figured, why not? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet/page/2#post-2842638 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 12:25:04 +0000 Rocker2014 2842638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Short version: We met at a weekend-long party at a close mutual friend's lake house.</p> <p>Long version: We'd been moving in the same circles for years, with tons of mutual friends and interests. I actually showed up to that party with a boyfriend, but he got drunk and passed out early and I stayed up late talking and playing music with a couple of people, including DH. When DH heard that I'd ended things with that boyfriend a couple of weeks later, he asked our mutual friend for my number and we got together. Once we started dating, all our mutual friends were constantly saying things like, "I can't believe it took so long for you two to meet and date, I've always thought you guys would be perfect together!" We kept asking why no one had thought to set us up - and as it turned out we'd met a bunch of times before over the past decade but never even noticed each other! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet/page/2#post-2842577 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 07:11:14 +0000 Ajsmommy 2842577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met on a co ed softball team. I actually thought he hated me at first but he took over the team for one of our tournaments and he was texting the team about when to be at the fields and what to wear etc and I was giving him grief bc he wanted us to be there too early and I was telling him it never started on time and I'd be there when I was ready.. blah blah.. anyway ironically we both have the same sarcastic sense of humor and the entire tournament we were inseparable. And we went on a date the next Thursday and the rest is history....... </p> <p>Funny thing is that one of DH's close friends also played with us in that tourney and apparently he mentioned to DH that he was going to ask for my number and DH said to back off, I was his... LOL... but DH was right. I would have been disappointed if his friend had asked me out instead of him :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet/page/2#post-2842569 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 04:56:16 +0000 LCTBQE 2842569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: damn!!! that's awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet/page/2#post-2842552 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 00:10:30 +0000 lamariniere 2842552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Iced Tea: we need to hear the story!</p> <p>@thepaperbutterfly: aww! My dad is Asian and my mom was white. I always like seeing couples like that. :heart: </p> <p>We met at work. We had a whirlwind romance and got married and had a baby 361 days after our first official date. :shocked: Since then, we've had another and lived in 4 countries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet/page/2#post-2842548 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 22:14:59 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2842548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: ditto, but 6.5 years ago.</p> <p>Okcupid online. Married 4 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842537 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 19:59:48 +0000 thepaperbutterfly 2842537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I met in a college cafeteria. I was studying Japanese at the time because I have always been into Japanese culture, video games, anime, etc. Sitting at one of the tables was this guy talking to his friend, and he was really cute. I'm not even sure how I knew he was Japanese, but I have a spot spot in my heart for Asian men ;) I'm really shy, so instead of sitting down next to him and saying something I just put my Japanese book on top hoping he would notice, which he did XD From there we became friends and started dating shortly after. It's interesting because you don't see a lot of Caucasian women with Asian men, but it's worked out for us. At least most of the time XD He's a Japanese citizen (has his green card) so there have been some cultural clashes, but what marriage is conflict free :P We've been married 11 years and have a 19 month old daughter, and I'm 6 months pregnant with a little boy :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842521 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 19:18:51 +0000 jhd 2842521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met on eHarmony 10 years ago.

It’s a fun story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842481 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 15:46:04 +0000 Mrs Lavender 2842481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@buttermilk: Same lol - MySpace! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842466 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 15:08:01 +0000 petitenoisette 2842466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met during a beach party week on the Jersey shore :shocked:<br /> Didn’t even exchange numbers before we went home to different states, but I got his number afterward from the mutual friend who organized the vaca. That friend married us at our wedding 3 years later. :happy: </p> <p>@DesertDreams88: @crazydoglady: I’m jealous of teacher marriages! My school is rampant with them and I just dream of what fun stuff we could do with all that time off together.

Even though he is Math/History and I am ELA, it's cool to be able to bounce ideas off each other, talk behavior management, gripe about admin... plus having a similar schedule is great for childcare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842426 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 14:16:17 +0000 pachamama 2842426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In 2009 I was in a very unhappy relationship. A coworker was like "I totally have the guy for you, too bad you have a boyfriend!" and I loved his name. I broke up with douchey boyfriend (who I was living with!), the coworker arranged for future husband to take a shift when I was working (summer job in a restaurant). So I guess we were set up- a week later we met in person, he asked me on a date, and that was that!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842417 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 14:02:44 +0000 JennyPenny 2842417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met freshman year of college (14 years ago!). He was the TA for my first major class. :shocked: But we didn't really become friends until a year or so later when we ran into each other at the company we were both interning for. We were friends for a while before we started dating about 11 years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842401 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 13:31:28 +0000 DesertDreams88 2842401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: first week of college too!</p> <p>@avivoca: we got married straight out of college too.</p> <p>@looch: awww :)</p> <p>@crazydoglady: I love that we are both in teacher marriages :) birds of a feather.....</p> <p>@Iced Tea: so curious!</p> <p>@Sams Mom: so interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842397 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 13:27:43 +0000 DesertDreams88 2842397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met in 2006, freshman year of college.</p> <p>I had seen him around during orientation weekend and thought he was cute / totally my style. He was in my Politics class MWF, about 40 students in the class. I pointed him out to my roomies / suitemates when we saw him in the college cafeteria. Then, about 2 weeks into college, we did a "brother-sister dorm" volleyball tournament andddddd he was in my brother dorm! I introduced myself, we found out we had the same major and taste in music, I jokingly called him my future husband to my friends later that night (not in front of him). We were friends for a year, then dating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842396 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 13:27:01 +0000 krispi 2842396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also met online on eHarmony. But then on our first phone call, we discovered we'd met in person 10 years earlier. </p> <p>He was best friends with my cousin's husband in high school and had been the best man in her wedding. I was also a bridesmaid in that same wedding party. The funny thing was we could both remember lots of details about the wedding, but we couldn't remember each other at all! We were both in different relationships at that time, so we hadn't really noticed one another.</p> <p>It's been 7 years since we met (the 2nd time, which we count as our "real" meeting) and 5 years since we got married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842394 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 13:24:14 +0000 annem1990 2842394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to the same college. He interviewed me for an on-campus job. Needless to say, I got it :wink: . We began working together and our first date was a couple of months later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842390 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 13:07:01 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2842390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met on eHarmony almost 9 years ago and will celebrate 8 years of marriage next Tuesday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842383 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 12:55:53 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2842383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met in 2004 (how was that 14 years ago??) when he joined some fraternity brothers on a 12 hour road trip to watch a hockey tournament. </p> <p>One of the guys was a close friend that I grew up with and they stayed at my parents house for the weekend. Took a few more trips before there was any spark between us but it lead to a long distance relationship and then eventually a move to be together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842376 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 12:05:50 +0000 erinbaderin 2842376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met in university - he lived with people I was friends with through my program. We were friends for a few years because he had a girlfriend but they split up, and then I lived in another city, but I moved home and we went on our first date the same day, 17 years ago last week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-for-fun-how-did-you-and-you-so-meet#post-2842375 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 12:05:21 +0000 Purpledaisy 2842375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met at work about 11 years ago.
