I've only had one boyfriend in my entire existence.
We first met at a vocational school for people with "special needs" back in late 2005. I never thought in my wild dreams i'd ever meet a guy in a "special" vocational school. We where both in our early 20s. He noticed me at first, but I was focusing on the class and didn't noticed him. I did see him in the class but the guy was too pretty for me to think he wanted to socialize with me. Generally, pretty guys don't want anything to do with weird Aspie chicks like me.
Then came lunchtime, he approached me and asked if he could sit with me. I obviously thought it was too good to be true, so I let him sit with me. Throughout that moment, we started to get to know each other. He was very sweet to me and I felt comfortable around him. I guess we both felt chemistry together that day.
The next day I asked if I could kiss him and he didn't hesitate to do so. Just like that, we became a couple after two days...awkward, right? But it felt so good to be kissed by a guy who liked me for the very first time. I finally felt like I was worth something. However, we never took our relationship any further than second base. He is Christian and he knows better than that. I only wish guys today would be mature, patient, and understanding to wait to have sexual intercourse.
Unfortunately, we were together for a month because we were gonna travel far from each other. It wasn't a bad break-up at all, we managed to call it off on a good note. And therefore, I've been single ever since.

My BF and I met on OKCupid. He messaged me and we started talking and met in person the next day. There was instant chemistry and we fell for each other very quickly.

He is my only bf as well.

I was informed that some weird girl liked me, and we started dating my soph year in high school, but it lasted 12 days before she dumped me. I've had in total 4 girlfriends/flings since then. None of them all that meaningful.

I met my husband at a hospital ER. Not exactly typical, but he worked for a different ambulance service and we were both at the nurses desk at the same time.

My ex-wife and I met on a blind date set up by her cousin (who worked in the same hotel as me.) We hit it off the moment we saw each other... gawd she's got chemistry! :P We had a good run of 12 years together.

We met on Okcupid. Messaged a bit, decided to move on to a phone call and then we decided to meet and see if we liked each other's company. We have been seeing each other since May.

She was the best friend of my high school gf. I came back to town after being away for a few years. Went around to my old hangouts, looking for people I knew. Found her. Remembered how much we had enjoyed each other's company, and started spending a lot of time together. Then she did something for me and went from "nice girl (who also happens to be nice to look at)" to "holy s**t, this is the kindest, most caring, all around best person I've ever met, and I need to be with her."

Quite a lot of" average" people are using okcupid/similar stuff this days.
It just makes things simpler(we both know why we are here so my intentions are clear from the beginning...)

You are just as likely to meet a psycho on the streets and you just have to take some time to get to know the other person to see wether they can be trusted, just as people do offline

problem is we dont know why they are there and they dont know why we are there.

If you approach someone on the street about dating you are bound to get funny looks and whatnot

If you approach someone on a dating site about dating your request will be taken far more seriously

Unless of course you have brilliant social skills and you can just approach any stranger on the streets and get them to agree to get to know you better and whatnot, on which case you dont need dating sites

I met him in my High school play and I was interested in him. I tried to make signs that I liked him, but he missed them all lol. So my friend told him I liked him and he had no idea. He quickly became my BF and we've been together ever since.

I met my husband in an ice rink. I had gone with my friend, who had started going out with a guy she met there. My friend and I were skating around and she made her way to the centre, pulling me with her. Her boyfriend appeared, trailing a boy with him. Then they introduced us and left us there, together. So, we could nothing else but start talking and skate around. We hit it off straight away. My friend and her boyfriend had decided we'd make a good pairing, with us both being quiet. That was 23 years ago. BTW Their relationship lasted only a few months, although they had a baby.

I saw him from afar 16 years before I actually met him. He was a Ballet minor in college and was in a show and I was running the sound board as a Theatre minor. I remember laughing at him because he had such a skinny body and big head, even though his face was VERY handsome. For some reason I never forgot that moment, but I never really thought about meeting him and getting to know him because he was a dancer, surrounded by beautiful, flexible women all the time.

Then many years later as my 1st marriage fell apart, I went back to my childhood neighborhood to sit in the park and think things over, but the park had been converted into a disc golf course. As I was walking down to my old favorite spot, two men and a beagle dog came over a ridge and went past me. I thought they were "together". Eventually, they worked their way back around and I got the idea to do "golf claps" for them when they made their shots. The younger guy started chatting and I remember being really annoyed at his mirrored sunglasses. He mentioned that he'd gone to UAB as an English major and I said I had switched between Communications and Theatre. He knew all these Theatre people from his dancing days, and when he took off his sunglasses, there was the goofy-looking dancer from all those years ago. :D He was the resident manager for the apartments I wound up moving into.

I met my one and only (if I have anything to say about it) ex-boyfriend while I was in college. He was already dating someone at the time..
