When we first-first met, we were both single but became friends. We didn't start dating until several years later. When the thought of dating entered out minds, I was in a relationship that soon ended. Then hubs and I started dating.
-
We were both single. We didn't officially date for 12 years...it was complicated.
-
When we met I was dating someone and he was still seeing his ex girlfriend, even though they had already broken up. When we started dating two months later we were both single.

I met DH on a Friday while out of town, Sunday when I got home from out of town I had a 3rd date planned with a guy I had met. Things were going great with him, but as soon as I got home I cancelled on him and waited for DH to call (well.....was hoping he'd call) I was floored by DH and don't think I really ever questioned that he'd call, but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't stringing anyone else along so cut the other guy right away. DH called the Wednesday, planned our first date for the Saturday and the rest is history. I think we both knew early on we were "it" for each other.

I love this thread! I love "how we met" stories.
I knew my DH very vaguely through mutual friends for a couple years. Then I broke up with my horrible boyfriend and my ladies took me out drinking. He was at the bar with our mutual friends and he got my number. I had been single for (no joke) eight days when we went out on our first date. We've been together ever since! Everyone thought it was just a rebound thing (including me at first) but it turned out he was totally my lobster!
-
When I first met DH he was dating someone else, that relationship ended and they he dated another girl. In between the two girls is when we became real friends, his sister at the time was dating my best guy friend. So they wanted us to date, and we did but we never told them we first started. Dating.

I had just gotten utterly destroyed by a guy I thought for sure I was going to marry. I had zero intentions of dating anyone for a long time. I was going up to Boston to just have a fun Labor Day weekend with some friends. But Hubs was there, and that was it. First smile, I was hooked. (c:

We met 2 weeks after I moved to dc for my first job after college--and I didn't know anyone in dc. I had been dating someone for a couple months before I graduated, but that guy didn't want to do long distance (though, dc to nyc is really, really close! "distance" my butt!). that guy was pretty bummed that I met dh so quickly, and then really, really bummed because dh and I were almost immediately long distance--he moved to Europe for a year for a masters and we managed to stay together. the other guy was really upset that he hadn't wanted to give the ldr a chance! for the next couple years or so I would hear from him every once in awhile about how much he regretted it...and I was like, ummmmm I don't! i knew immediately that dh was the real deal--it felt so completely different to me and I was so much more certain about how I felt. dh and I met via a dating site--we started talking online on a friday (our first convo was 4 hours long!), he called me saturday to make plans for a date on sunday (which was insane--i started my first day of work on Monday!), and then he called me tuesday to make 2nd date plans for thursday. then 3rd date was sunday, 4th monday, 5th tuesday...and now it's been over 6 years

We were both single but it was still years before we dated.
-
@mrs. bird: woah wait, really? cool!
I had met someone like a few weeks earlier and we were talking on the phone a lot when I met DH. I avoided the other guy's calls after that (which was sort of mean, actually)
-
I met DH in December when I was casually dating another guy. I also saw him at work conferences in January (still dating the first guy), March (was dating a new guy), and May (dating a third guy lol...casually though). I tried to get his attention each time but it wasn't until the conference in May that I knew that he was interested too. I broke up with the guy I was dating right away, DH and I got together 3 weeks later and we've been together ever since.
-
Thankfully we were both single!
-
When we first met freshman year of college, DH had a gf and I was (perpetually) single. We were friends for three years before we finally got together senior year but apparently he'd had a crush on me since the first day we met! I had NO clue!
-
@mrbee: ha it wasn't so quick. He pursued me for 5 months after I moved until I came back to the US to give it a shot.
-
@travelingbrit: ah your username suddenly makes sense!
-
Was dating someone when we met, but was single for about 4 months before anything happened between us.
-
We first met in high school. Senior year we had crushes on each other, but he had a girlfriend and I kept going back to this loser guy I was sure I was in love with.
We fell out of touch for a few years after high school. I was engaged to someone else but really depressed because the relationship was horrible; I felt like I had no friends, and my now-husband popped into my head, so I sent him an email saying hi. I honestly just wanted to get back in touch with an old friend! We emailed back and forth daily, and my horrible fiancé broke up with me about two weeks after I got back in touch with my husband, who was thankfully single. Finally, we started talking on the phone--the first time I called him we talked for like six hours! At the time, I lived in Arizona and he lived in Washington, so we were basically in a LDR. He came out to visit me several months later, and a few months after that, I moved to be with him.
Sorry so long, it's a bit complicated.
-
I was single.
-
We "met" online when we were both 16 years old! Several relationships later we met irl. He had gotten out of a serious long term relationship and mine was falling apart. Once it officially ended I flew down to DC and then eventually moved down a year later.
-
Technically we met in highschool, but I was single when we reconnected and decided to go out for dinner. I was newly single (3 weeks out of a LTR) and totally expected DH to be a rebound guy. Alas, 10 years later we're still together.
-
We were both single.
-
I was casually dating a few guys when I met my SO. After the first date with SO, I stopped seeing the other guys.
-
We "met" on Match.com
We were both single but after our first date I didn't think I would see him again. We did end up going out again and have been together ever since. After a few dates we both "knew" we were it for each other.
-
I was in a serious relationship when I met Mr. Blue at the beginning of LS. I eventually broke up with that guy, but Mr. B was in a serious relationship. We both ended up single three years after we met, and the rest is history!
-
DH was single, I was still with my high school sweet heart of 3 or 4 years. I had been struggling with ending my relationship with my ex for probably over 6 months at the time, had broken up with him a few times and ended up getting back together.
We had JUST gotten back together when I met DH and I figured any possibilities with DH would have a firm expiry date (as we met in Canada where he would only be temporarily before returning to the US) so I gave it a little time to see how things would go with the ex... In the end I had a nagging feeling about DH and eventually ended it with the ex. Maybe a month later or so DH and I went on our first date and that was the end of it!
-
I had been going on dates when I met DH. He had just found out that his girlfriend who was spending a semester abroad had been cheating on him. My sister was dating his friend at the time and suggested he come and meet me. I was working as a hostess at a small restaurant/bar and my sisters came and said there is a guy coming to meet you in an hour. He came, we met, he slipped me his phone number when he left, and then I went on a date with someone else that night! That guy ended up (thankfully) drinking too much at a house party and passing out in a bathroom, so I left and never looked back. DH and I hung out lots that week. I was supposed to go and visit a guy who I had terrible timing with but very strong feelings for at the army base he was stationed in, but after meeting DH knew I couldn't do that. DH asked me to be his girlfriend a week after we met, we moved in together 2 months later, and married nearly 7 years after that!
-
I was single but still hooked on my ex, however as soon as I met DH I told my ex I had met someone and wanted to see where it went, he wasn't happy. I stopped answering his phone calls, best thing I ever did.
-
i was as single as they come!! he had just gotten out of a relationship a few months prior. we were sort of set up by my brothers then girlfriend
