How did you meet your last or current BF or GF

[imsuperman]

Just curious. I'm interested to see how many relationships start out with no prior introductions (ie someone "cold approaches.")

[SapphireNoir10]

Well. I was a waitress and a barmaid and my bf was a punter. We chatted casually, I asked him for his email and then he plain asked me out.

My current boyfriend, I met at work. Actually I didn't like him much when I first met him, years later he kinda grew on me.

 

My ex ex, I met through the personals. We were together for 8 years.

[MinziGirl]

I met mine at a restaurant. It was full & he came to share the table. Then he asked 'how are you?' in Indonesian. I tried some Indonesian but it is basic. Then We exchanged emails & started it from there.

ive had 3 relationships.

 

my latest i was introduced by a friend who was her cousin during class.

 

the other 2 were 'cold approaches', both at school.

 

1 i asked for a pen and kept talking after (turned into 1.5 yrs)

 

1 i asked what she thought of a test after class (only 2 months).

[ghost69]

she approached me and asked for my #.

Maybe the lack of rain puts everyone in a better mood, lol. I live in Ohio, home of well................Wendy's, and I would be more shocked and pleased to see a woman approach me than I would if I woke up next to Jessica Alba.

she approached me at my fav. bar and started talking to me like she knew me. apparently I hit on her about a month before on my birthday and didn't remember. Haha! Then she gave me her number.

[jennamajig]

I met my ex at work, which later taught me to never date anyone at work.

[Mavh25]

I met my guy off the net, pretty much.

[Aurian]

Online dating site, he liked my quirky username and messaged me, and things took off quickly from there.

[CrazyKing]

On the street...

[KG]

Met her at a dance joint. Things clicked, asked her out....lasted for the next 30 years.

[Jeen]

At a hotel, to be more precise at there lost and found store room where we both had to go claim our bags after a mix up with our room reservations. The manager was out for errands sow we had to wait, he asked if I would join him for dinner while we were waiting!

[Casey13]

She picked me up at the store

[_Asti_]

Through a mutual friend.

[winchester3]

Both at school.

[lila...]

Both at school too. The first one I approached- I was sooo nervous but it payed off The second, he approached me, only after eyeing him since forever.

[shikashika]

I met the last 3 relationships at the gym.

 

I often read on here that people are apprehensive about meeting someone or going up and talking to someone at the gym... and I don't really get it.

 

And to be fair, what I've read on here, it's the women who put up a cold front about it and make excuses like, "I'm too busy working out!" That really irks me and puts a bad name for the rest of us friendly women out there.

 

I say to the men out there, if a woman gives you that sort of attitude, don't waste your time on her. Why is it acceptable to give that sort of rude answer when in a gym, but not in a bar? You wouldn't say, "sorry, I'm too busy drinking!" (in a bar) or "Sorry, I'm too busy buying milk! ( in a grocery store)"

 

At least it's someone who you have something in common with, rather than meeting a random at the grocery store (which you could still still have something in with that person)

 

That being said, I don' think one should close themselves off to meeting people anywhere.

[quirky]

I met him at work but I felt like I had known him forever.

He looked like a model but he wasn't my type.

We were arguing at work before we even got together.

Very strange...

[ratfreak]

-at yearbook camp - went to friends to dating. he turned out to be a dirtbag

-a few at work - never date people you work with

-through a mutual friend - lasted 3 great years but ended

-at a friend's band performance

-at school - darkrooms are a great place to bump into people

me and my bf met at church during a breakfast service. He seemed very interesting to me so I introduced myself and the rest is history!!
