I kind of wonder if you went the traditional face to face way, or the digital way.

Traditional. We met doing sports.

Running. She was interested in me. I was still in another relationship, so she had to wait ;)

We worked on the same street, he says he fell in love with my eyes at first sight, he always mentions something like how the light shines in the same eyes, it makes me laugh because I think he's joking with me, but he's still sweet. Every time he saw me he would say silly things and then we started a conversation, the rest is history. He's working right now but if you check SN you'll surely see this comment. Honey, if you're reading this, bring me a cookie.

I dated her best friend (at the time) many years before we re-kindled in the flu shot line at work before we were anti-vax pilled. We are both RNs.

At least you took something good of a deeply disturbing situation with the covid hoax and all.

I met my wife because she was one of my first students! She was there because her friend dragged her along to see something new. I was new, I guess.

Traditional way. We met at a mutual friend’s wedding. I was the Chinese translator for the bride’s parents; she was the English translator for the groom’s parents; and we sat at the same table

I found my other half, after I stopped looking. Without my wife I would feel completely ungrounded and lost I think. I feel very lucky to have someone to put up with and love my brand of craziness.

Fantastic, sometimes the greatest gifts come when they are least expected.

i have a funny one.. My mon set me up.. Incredible.. We live in different countries and she was nagging me for a while with this awesome girl she knew.. I brushed it off for a while since distance was a thing.. I think she was trying to trap me and kind of making me go back to my birthplace. She came to visit and brougth her friend.. Long story short, instead of me going back, i managed to make my now wife change countries as well.. We now have two awesome kids.

Nice, your mom was really looking out for you. Sometimes we need a little push to find the one.

She called my mobile and invited for a drink.

20 years ago, I was studying a master degree in another country, Friday night went out for a few drinks with roommates and I saw a beautiful blonde girl and I went to ask her to dance with me...

We started dating but we're both surprised that what started as a silly relationship ended up in a long and happy relationship.
