He asked me out. I avoided his offers to meet up for dinner a couple times before I gave in. Fell in love by date three, barf.

We met at a party. We hooked up, exchanged numbers, and then I didn't hear from him so I texted him. We talked on the phone, and a few weeks later I went to visit my college roommates for a night, then went to visit him (he lived in Philly, I was back home in Hershey). I ended up spending the night there. We visited each other and hung out for 6 months before I got antsy and asked him the dreaded "Where are we going" question. He said "Can't we just be friends and have fun?" After 6 months of making out? No. So I broke it off, but we continued to talk. A year to the day after we met, we were at a party (same friends' party) and he told me that he was ready to get serious and wanted me to be his girlfriend.

Our friends set us up, threw a party so it wasn't a total blind date. I think he asked for my number. I don't even remember.

He asked me. We had a slow start, though. We had some mixed signals--I thought maybe he wasn't all that interested so I just decided not to put in any effort and see what happened. But later I found out he thought I wasn't interested and was blowing him off. haha. Luckily, we eventually got it together.

We met the night he moved into my house (which I shared with a mutual friend J and J's gf). We never did the traditional dating thing...we were both fairly recently off of bad relationships and we were lonely and just sort of fell into each other and then there was no one else. I guess he technically made the first move, but I can be a horrible flirt when I've been drinking so it was very encouraged, lol.

He asked me, I think?? lol. We met on match.com and I know he messaged me first. I can't remember which one of us actually suggested meeting up first… but I would guess it was him because that doesn't seem like a thing I'd do. I remember that I was the one who suggested our technical first date though. He had proposed dinner and a movie on a friday. I suggested we meet for coffee the wednesday before in case we didn't hit it off in person so that we wouldn't have to spend all night with each other in that case

@littlek: Totally reminds me - I had a friend try to set me up with someone, it was an ackward date, afterwards I said I don't think so.
BUT! turned out he really liked her ... they are now married.

i was living with someone else when i met DH. we met at the gym, he was my personal trainer. he tried more than a few times to get me to go out with him, he even kissed me once after walking me to my car (i didn't kiss him back, but i didn't slap him either nor did i mention it to my SO at the time). then, he dated someone else, i kicked my ex out, DH & his gf broke up after she gave him an ultimatum that he could never speak to me again or they were done, he refused and they were done, wah ha ha. one night my power went out and i couldn't get a lantern lit, he came over to help... there were candles... and we pretended we were 'just friends' for months before owning up to being a thing. so we never really dated, he got shot down a bunch, but i asked him to come over when i had no power, i guess we're both to blame
it was a whirlwind, from first meeting at the gym to power outage was ~6 months, enough time to build up a lot of... tension, haha.

We had dated twice before so I was pretty guarded around DH when he reemerged after 2 years of not seeing each other. At first he made it seem like he wanted career advice and asked me and our mutual friend to drinks to talk about a job opportunity at my company. The drinks went well and I let it slip that I was dating someone else. He called me that weekend to ask me out, but he chickened out and continued to ask about the job (which he really wasn't interested in). Finally that Wednesday he emailed me asking me to drinks, just the two of us. I waited a full 24 hours before responding, but accepted. The rest is pretty much history although I made him think I was still dating the other guy for a couple of weeks which drove him crazy

He asked me. When I gave him my number he called me right away to make sure it was a real number (we were still standing and talking in a circle of people).... I was like "ummm are you calling me?" He played it off as an accident but later told me he wanted to make sure it wasn't too good to be true.

I love all these stories!
He asked me out, but I kissed him first! We met on jdate--dh sent me an instant message and we ended up chatting online for like 5 hours straight! he asked me out, and we had dinner 2 days later, and it was the best first date: there was a crazy thunderstorm so we sat inside this restaurant for like 3 hours chatting. But then after he walked me home, I went to kiss him and he turned his head, so it ended up being a completely awkward kiss between his lips and cheek, haha. I thought I'd totally misread the signs and he wasn't into me, but he called me 2 days later to ask me out for a second date and now here we are, 7.5 years later!

These are really great stories!
Dh and I worked together but I never really noticed him but apparently he had a thing for me the moment we met. Our co worker had a house party and he begged him to invite me over. Dh was drunk and asked me out but I refused because he wasn't my type and he was too young. Todd him I would be his friend he accepted that challenge. Took me over a year to change my mind. We became really good friends then he was my best friend. The only reason I fought so hard not to date him was our age gap (5 years!! He is younger) so glad he worked so hard to break me down because 7 years later he is still pretty amazing!

@mr.bee: I met my DH in December and the weather was cold while we were becoming friends. There was a warm spell in March that year. On that fateful day DH wore a short-sleeved shirt. Up until then I had only seen him in long-sleeves. I thought he had sexy arms. It's a little embarrassing, but that's how it went.

Neither of us asked each other. We met on a chat program back in the 90's that randomly found someone to message that was online. Can't remember who sent the first "hello" though. Many bumps long the way since I lived in ME & he lived in MN, but 15 years later, we're still together
