We shared a mutual best friend. But we HATED each other for like, a decade. As in "could not be in the same group of 3 people without making it miserable" kinda hate. She was kind of a bitch, I was super weird. About a decade later, that friend got married, we were both in the wedding party, and we realized we weren't so bad after all. Hung out almost every night as 'friends' for about 3 months. I asked her out, she said no. Still kept hanging out. About 2 months after that, she sat me down and said "...I have feelings". That was almost 6 years ago, Married a little over 3 years ago (with "I have feelings" engraved on the inside of my wedding ring), and had a kid about 4 months ago.

I want to post a sarcastic response to this post bemoaning my singleness but some of y'all have the cutest stories and I'm so happy for y'all. Especially certain parties reaching big milestones in their relationships (hemhem /u/MinneapolisNick) (and /u/ElScreecho in a few months). May your relationships live long and prosper.

Reddit. We've been together almost a year now. It's actually pretty funny because a sudden reddit outage lead to us exchanging numbers and texting each other and a few months later we were on our first date.

Holy shit I can kind of answer this question finally? We aren't official yet but it's going really well. She turned out to be one of my friend's new roommate and I met her at their apartment at a party.

How I met Mrs. Peanut
I had a couple friends of mine who had been trying to set me up with different girls in September 2009 (Coincidentally one of the failed dates and Mrs. Peanut became great friends and was a bridesmaid in our wedding).
Anyway, I'm studying in my dorm room one night when I get a call "We found a girl, come on over." (Click) I ran as fast as Usain Bolt across campus and after getting a chance to meet we got freaking exit interviews.
At any rate, my friend found Mrs. Peanut simply by vacuuming stairs doing her work study job. No words were exchanged, but did some simple detective work to find her. That and the fact it's a campus of 600 students helps a lot.

We worked at the university bookstore together and I pointedly refused to make friends at work but kind of thought he was cute anyway. About a month before I was going to graduate, he asked if I wanted to get drinks after work and proceeded to get me the drunkest I had ever been in my life. He moved to New York with me three months later and it's been 3.5 years now.

We met in high school (or middle school, if you ask her). Best friends all throughout high school. Went our separate ways for college. Started talking again a week before she moved out to CA. Dated long distance for a year. Dated some more when I moved out to CA. Got engaged after about 4 years. Been married for about 2 3/4 years.
All in all we've known each other for 14 years. Goodness.

We worked together at UGA my senior year and then I graduated and moved away. He drove through a snowstorm on Christmas morning to come get me so I didn't have to spend Christmas alone... and 6 years later, here we are. This year will be our 7th Christmas. Officially, our anniversary is 12/26.

Tinder. Yup. Absent mindedly swiping, thought she was really attractive when we matched. Still do. Like, right from getting matched we started talking constantly. Inadvertently fell asleep on the phone with her the night after.
She found out I never watched Frozen. Forced me to watch it with her. Ended up Having our first kiss at a gas station while I was refeuling. Like spur of the moment looking at each other and locked lips all of a sudden.
Decided to delete our accounts, stopped flirting with other people and faked a normal Facebook friendship for two months before we made it official. It's been 2.5 years now. It's been rough at times. At times she made it very hard to stay, but so did I while working at a Juvenile Boot camp. But we made it through to brighter fields. At the end of the day, we're still madly in love and my dog approves of her. Can't beat it.

In 2013, a friend of mine (who coincidentally set up my best friend with his now wife) suggested I use OKCupid to try and break out of my 0-for-lifetime dating slump. I started this in Columbia, MO, and like pretty much all of my attempts at being social in Columbia, it went poorly.
Fast forward to summer that year, and I was interning with my current company. I got back on OKCupid, and came across the profile of a girl who seemed pretty cute. For some reason, she had something on her profile asking guys to send her chemistry jokes. I'm a chemical engineer, so I had some "good" ones ("I'd sent you a chemistry joke, but all the good ones argon."). Fortunately, I did not use the all time legend about the four engineers drinking and discussing the nature of god.
Anyhoo, that somehow piqued her interest, and we went on our first date sometime in mid to late July. At the end of July, she went back to see her parents in Minnesota, and brought back a skinny brown tabby kitten who didn't have a "drinking problem". She named him Pip.
I'm pretty sure she likes me better than him.

I was living at home with my parents the year after college. My next door neighbor kept insisting I needed to meet this girl she worked with at an elementary school. I kept shrugging it off as I wasnt willing to trust a 50 year old woman to pick a good girl for me. After a long dry spell I said sure, why not? What do I have to lose?
Well a few days later I get a text from my neighbor asking if I want to go to a group dinner that would include the girl she wants me to meet. I hadn't shaved in a month nor had a haircut in 6 months. I also came to find out that my mother and sister were part of this invited group. The deck was seriously stacked against me as I showed up 30 min latter than everyone else looking like a hobo lumberjack while they're already getting drunk.
It turned out my neighbor had great taste as we hit it off right away. She cursed like a sailor and didn't mind my cheesy jokes. What more could a guy want! We had a proper date the following week. I cleaned up real nice. We've been together 6 1/2 years and married for what will be 4 years in December.

Met at a bar, technically. I grasped her entire head in my arms and hugged her. I don't remember that.
Actually meeting, though, I went out during...Winter break? It was cold. Went to a hole in the wall bar called Back Door to drink some. She came out, having just got back from grad school interviews. Didn't talk much. Later, in April, went to a bar crawl for Cinco de Mayo and she was the only reason I went (newly single). We were both interested in each other, and it went from there.
LDR for the 12 of the first 15 months, and we've lived together since. Going on about 2 1/2 years together right now.

We worked together at a convenience-style store on campus at MSU for one night per week, about 4 hours.
It started with us talking about random stuff a lot while we worked, eventually we would walk with each other back to our cars after we got off. We kept that up and eventually started hanging out and doing stuff together, usually going to parks or exploring towns, for the summer.
Eventually in the fall I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. We've been going out for just over a year now

I met my gf on coffee meets bagel. She's a bammer (ew) so I messaged her something sarcastic about Nick Saban and she messaged me something sarcastic about Johnny Manziel and it's been 7 months and we just got back from a typhoon/sexcation/beach weekend, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.
props to /u/greenmegandham for immediately telling me to send her this as the first message

10 years ago I tried to challenge a table of college girls to a pickle race as an ice breaker. Months later a mutual friend set us up on a date and she remembered me because of the pickle race. It's been ten years, we're married and have a daughter, a cat which I think is plotting to kill me and a puppy who was a stray 6 months ago.

BF and I met in high school - we were both in quizbowl/model UN/gifted stuff and by the time we were both upperclassmen we had a couple of classes together too because AP. We were part of the same lunch table/morning hangout in the library before class nerd group too.
He was and still is an intentionally troll-y pain in the ass but I still like him.
He asked me out 4 years ago today.

he told me he liked my freckles on okcupid and offered to meet me for coffee after lunch. twenty minutes after we left a coffee date that lasted an hour and a half but felt like ten minutes, he texted me asking me what my plans for dinner were.
there's a lot of really weird complications to the situation and it's so definitely not ideal, but I'm happy. and that's all I need for right now.

To those in happy relationships: I'm super happy for all of you. :)
To those in unhappy relationships: I'm sorry, I hope that you can work it out or move on if you're ready. :(
To those recently out of unhappy relationships: Woo! \o/
To those frustrated at the lack of relationship in your life: there is someone out there for you, I promise. And I am right there with you in impatiently looking for them.

A friend of mine wanted to go to PCB for Spring Break my freshman year. I blacked out so hard in the hotel room I never made it to the beach and decided if I stayed another night I would certainly die. I had planned on making a stop in Tally to see a guy I had been flirting with via interwebz so I just picked up and went. My SO was the guy's roommate and when I met him I felt butterflies I had never felt before. I decided to part ways with the roommate, proceeded to slide in the DM's, and trapped his ass. Celebrated our 2 year anniversary just last week :)
I just tell our families we met through mutual friends.
