I like the wording, I hated dating so much- I am so happy to be done searching! I was 21 when I started dating my husband, we got married 7 years later.

@Mrs. Jacks: that is so sweet!

We met at 23 but still were in relationships from college. It took awhile to get out of and over those relationships and both of us weren't sure about jumping into a new serious relationship so we didn't stop dating other people until maybe 25. Unnecessary drama during those years, he told me he was going to marry me pretty soon after we met, I should have just accepted then but I'm glad we stuck it out.

I met my hubby 1.5 months after my 19th birthday.

I honestly think he saved me from A LOT. I am so glad that I never did the whole bar thing. Most of my girlfriends are doing that now, and they aren't getting a lot of satisfaction out of it. Also, I have heard lots of my DH's stories from his "single days in the bars" and I am so glad that's a part of life I skipped!

He was 29, I was 25. He saved me from a lot more than just the dating scene. I am thankful for him everyday.

@Arden: 17 here, too!

DH and I met in college at 17 and that was that. Whew!

27...but I guess I'm different. I enjoyed dating because I wasn't looking for The One. I was just having fun.

when we re-met and dated for real (vs our high school fling, haha), I was almost 23.

he so saved me from late 20's dating! I was single and dating for just a few months prior to him being in my life again and I hated it!!

I was 29!

I was 19 and he was 20! We met in college and got married six years later.

We were both 28.

I had just turned 31 when I met DH - he was 29; we got married 4 years later. I think we both knew right away . . . I had an overwhelming sense of calm and completeness when I was with him, and he, even though I didn't ask him to, stopped seeing the (multitude of) women that he had been dating when we met.

I had just turned 25. I was in a pretty bad place in my life. Single for the first time in 7 1/2 years, living with my parents because I just graduated and couldn't find a good job. I was very surprised that DH wanted to date me with all that on my plate! He was in a much better place- owned a house, had a good job, etc.

I met DH a week after my 22nd birthday!

I was 25 when I started dating my husband….I don’t know if I agree with being “saved” from dating though. Dating in your 20’s is the best because you can actually do what you want and call the shots (unlike dating as a teen when obviously your options are limited). Plus, by the time I got to my mid-20’s, I was easily able to weed out the losers and dated some cool, interesting and fun men which I really enjoyed. Sure it didn’t work out with any of them, but my goal wasn’t to marry the first person I met either – was too busy having fun to settle down right away!

20. And I thank my lucky stars everyday I didn't have to spend a ton of time in the dating world in my 20s. The horrible stuff my girlfriends go through is testament to that!

We met when we were 18, started dating when we were 19, and married when we were 25. I'm so thankful I met my husband in college and didn't have to date out in the real world!

We met when we were both 26 and dating other people, we didn't get together for another year. I would love if I could have had that year with him instead of the loser I was dating. Dating sucks.
