At my house lol...long story but TLDR version: college friend of roommate's fiance...came over...dating a year later...married 8 years later

I was working on a horse farm trying to pay for college and she had a horse there. She also happened to be studying the same thing I was (she's way smarter than me though). Been married 18 years in August

So I guess through work

TeamSpeak

Tinder matched with a girl I'm now four months into the best relationship of my life with

anime club at college.

Matched with my SO on Tinder and Bumble lol

World of Warcraft.

She was roomates with a former gf.

I guess that doesn't really help.

NHL Playoff viewing party. He was a friend of a friend.

OkCupid

Highschool. I saw him in art class, thought he was a cute punk boy, then made a one year plan to befriend, flirt with, and date him after asking him to prom, then vet him for 10 years.
With him for 15 years now, married 5! :D

We were friends in school for years, then one day decided we should try dating. That was almost 10 years ago and now we're married with three kids.

Started off as a friend I met on an internet forum

Knew her since we were kids, started dating in highschool.

I met my wife at an airport.

No, we were not on the same flight.

Slightly interesting situation surrounding my boyfriend and I...

I play volleyball in the same league as his ex-boyfriend of about 10 years. So he already knew of me/knew my name/saw me on social media etc...
Then one day he followed me on Instagram and started liking a bunch of my singing stuff, and sent me a DM on Insta introducing himself officially and asked to learn more about singing stuff because he was really interested and found me really talented. Fast forward a couple weeks, and we met up... I turned on the ol' awkward charm, and the rest is history.

eharmony. Met up at a safe spot as neither of us had done online before really, hit it off, 3 years later got married. Been together now 7 years.

I met her at a cocktail party before a short film festival at the college I graduated from.

Funnily enough I really didn't want to attend, but my friend insisted so they wouldn't go alone. Never gonna regret going along that day.

Blind date set up by her sister

ICQ

LINE

Zoosk

OkCupid

Dating app, my animal magnetism helped closing the deal.

Was engaged to a girl I met in World of Warcraft.

I dont recommend Wow as a dating app tho, only like 1% isnt male.

Via friends

She came to visit some friends of mine at FSU one weekend. Early football game followed by a cook out and then party hopping that night. Ended up making out and she stayed at my apartment that night. We kept in touch, which eventually led to fucking here & there over the next year when she came to visit. No relationship. Just FWB.

I landed by first real job here in Orlando, where she lived. Started dating and the rest is history.

OP, for me it always happened naturally. I never sought it out. However that does include being sociable and going to gatherings, it will click for you eventually if you do.

The internet thing? I dunno, seems to work for some people but I find it weird, no disrespect to the people it did work for though.

At a vernissage.

She gave me such a beautiful smile I couldn't resist talking to her.

At a wedding.

At a party.

Friend hooked us up

We went to high school together, but we didn't really know each other. We ended up working together and hanging out with friends, I asked her out and to my surprise she said yes. That was 18 years ago.

At a previous job in where we were on different accounts 7 years ago.

A mutual friend introduced me to my now wife as a good guy who loves cats & pot lol.

OkCupid

Married 2.5 years after we met.

Met in an online chat room set up for fans of a particular band (over 20 years ago). Having a common interest when you first get to know one another seems to work better than just random physical attraction.

On yahoo! Married 12 years on Sunday, together 20 years total!

I tried to use her as a bridge to get another girl in college, ended up married her instead.

Every meaningful relationship I've ever had started at work. Some of them were co-workers and my SO now was a customer.

From that I've learned that there's nothing like a consistent mutual environment to bring people together. These relationships can be really successful, but they also carry really high risk, because something going wrong can really endanger that environment.

You have to be responsible and professional and never create an uncomfortable work condition for them or anyone else. These kinds of relationships develop naturally. If you have to force them, you shouldn't try.

That's my only experience. The times I tried my hardest to meet someone weren't the times I was ever successful. This always sounds unhelpful when you're single, but the best advice I can give is not to rush it.

I was single for 18 months once. I sort of resigned myself to being single forever. Then I met my fiancée. We've been together for five years.

Everquest 1.


Geez, we're old.

College. We lived in the same student house. Struck up a friendship over shared interest in comedy, and we started dating quickly there after. Been together for 7+ years at this point.

Tinder

She's my cousin

World of Warcraft. We've been friends for more than 10 years though, before we finally realized we were there for each other all along!
