About a decade ago, I was renting a room from a couple I was friends with. One of them went to a hairstylist and during the appointment said to her “I don’t have any girl-friends, do you want to hang out some time?”. Well that hairstylist said yes and they made plans to go snow tubing a few weeks later. I was supposed to go with them but came down with a cold. I still wanted to meet this new girl so I came down to see them off. That’s when I met the woman that would eventually become my wife and the mother of my child!
I had never been more upset that I was sick than that day lol
Ok Cupid (but this was 10+ years ago, I hear it’s gotten shittier since then 🙁)
Also OK Cupid, but my wife and I also knew each other back in high school. So that was our icebreaker. Ok cupid was the only dating app I could actually use because everything else required a Facebook profile, which I do not have…
Same. 2014.
Same, almost (Similar app). 2016
It has. I’m pansexual, I had two guys show interest in me and none of the people I showed interest in matched and there were quite a few. I live in a small population place so that doesn’t help to begin with. I also was stupid enough to pay the premium subscription to get nowhere. And tinder wasn’t any better either.
My ex broke up because I revived an important problem that was a month old, but she eskalated and broke up. Didnt hurt as she had too many red flags she couldnt fix.
We had a hotel that couldnt be canceled and I was alone with it and payed it alone too. I talked about this issue in a discord dating server and a Person DMed me.
We both also talked how we both dont want a reltationship in future after having both similar issues. But somehow, we both were too attractive and had the best sex in our both’s life. We also are very similar and tend to be the person who we dreamed of to have as a partner.
Now life goes on and we are a bit too far away, still. After University we plan to come together and meet every vacation for the best sex again.
I was accepting and embracing the void with the addition to focus on myself and isolate a bit. I loved the idea to finally be able to focus on myself only, but got the love of my life instead.
I still can focus on myself easily for some reason. Other relationships dragged my entire focus onto them as I always had problems that I wasnt allowed to talk about. But with her I easily can talk about anything
AOL, in a chat room, about 22 years ago.
He fixed my bike after I smashed the detailer on a curb – and later texted the number from my form to ask if I wanted to hang out.
A little creepy but glad it worked out for you.
I hear you, but we were both in college. It was just normal to reach out to new people. Anyway, going great 12 years later.
Fair enough, younger people do things that may not have been the best idea in hindsight.
Glad it’s going well for you both in any case.
So I was at a dungeon and overheard two women lamenting the lack of lesbians in the local community. I then walked over and said “hi I’m a lesbian” to the both of them. Anyways I’m married to one of them now somehow.
You were at a… dungeon?
Yeah, a bdsm venue
“I then walked over and said “hi I’m a lesbian” to the both of them. Anyways I’m married to one of them now somehow.” - This is possibly one of the most lesbian sentences I’ve ever read. Congratulations and mazel tov!
Thank you, thank you, I aspire to be a positive stereotype of my people.
You’ll make admiral someday, I know it.
Tinder. We are married now and expecting a baby
In an acting class. I didn’t notice her but she noticed me. Next class she switched from dressing tom boyish to more feminine and I noticed her. 20 years later and we just had our second kid.
We had instant chemistry… because we literally had the recitation and lab for our Chem 102 class together
I met up with a group of friends prior to a concert. She was somebody that I didn’t know yet. That changed!
I was late for work, and I had forgotten to brush my teeth. So I ran into the sundry shop to buy a roll of Lifesavers, and she was behind the counter.
Little did I know at the time, but she would save my life in a lot more ways than just by making my breath smell better.
Online dating, but we met in 2016 and I heard stuff has gone downhill since.
Just under half of the people I dated seriously (eg: not a hookup) as an adult, I met online.
There was a local r4r dating subreddit I posted to in 2014, somehow my (now) wife saw it like two or three months later. I titled it “Creepy guy seeks woman way out of his league”, which I am still very proud of as a great title for a personals ad.
A little over a year later we took a look back at that same subreddit and it was 100% hookups, the dating part had been completely phased out except for the subreddit name.
I actually don’t think I ever had a hookup from a website. Seems a little weird to just go and have sex with someone from an online posts.
I didn’t… yet
I worked at a college bar for beer money. Her friends came in all the time, she did not. Then one night she did, and I was literally struck dumb - just like the stories. There was a few months of seeing her here and there, a few conversations - I had never met a woman so amazing. I was a bug, and she a goddess in every way. Imagine my shock when she handed me a napkin with her phone number on it and said “call me sometime.”
You bet your ass I called her the very next day. That was 28 years ago. The crazy part is things got steadily better over the years. Nothing got “boring” it got more exciting. Looks fade, but she’s more beautiful to me today than ever. Kids didn’t drag us down, they made things more fun. Bills and chores and life’s troubles became something we worked through together - teaching us that we can overcome just about anything and be successful. I’d argue all of our success is because we’re a team.
We truly hit the love lottery when both of us were “done” and didn’t believe something like what we have is possible. Put away your baggage, and keep an open mind - your napkin could be handed to you today.
We truly hit the love lottery
This is the shit
Online dating, but we really clicked once it turned out we both love same kinda of video games (mostly Kojima stuff). She commented on my gaming headsets in one of my pics, but they were not even gaming headset, they were just Bluetooth sennheisers, but from there we dove deeper into our interests. Thank you Sennheisers!
