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.

calabast,

Ok Cupid (but this was 10+ years ago, I hear it’s gotten shittier since then 🙁)

IHawkMike,

Same. 2014.

JackFrostNCola,

Same, almost (Similar app). 2016

TheDubz87,

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…

VaultBoyNewVegas,

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.

I walked into Katz’s Delicatessen and ordered the pastrami reuben. One bite later and I knew my life would never be the same.

No. Fuckin. Joke. Best pastrami on the planet. It’s transcendent. Decent pickles too.

Over the internet, like a normal person.

  1. Posted sexy xkcd to my blog.
  2. She commented.
  3. ???
  4. We’re married and have two awesome kids.
habitualcynic,

That’s really sweet!

neidu2,

Important question: It was the ball pit xkcd, right?

bjoern_tantau,

Nope, elliptical reflector dish.

But we do have a portable ball pit.

TheKracken,

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.

alyth,

When I was in middle school, the techy kid walked up to me with a piece of metal in his hand and said, hey, did you know you can take out this part of a lighter and use it as a taser? I thought he was cool and immediately took a liking to him. Turns out we took the same train to school, and soon enough we’d share our train rides. Soon after, he started staying over at my place. One day he was chilling on my bed and installed something on his laptop called “Mandriva Linux”. This is the day I met GNU/Linux <3

This is the perfect love story.

This is the perfect love GNU+Linux story.

Eyedust,

My ex-fiancee and ex-girlfriend for 7 years was getting hit on by our boss. She used to brag to me about it. They started texting back and forth until suddenly she wanted to “just be friends” with me (which entitled “benefits”).

This was all about a month before our wedding. So naturally I declined being “friends” and slept with her bride’s maid. We decided the sex was good enough to try dating.

That was 12 years ago now.

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.

jeffw,

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.

Hanging on the wall of my local guitar store about 15 years ago.

She was a direct report at my job.

habitualcynic,

I worked with her older sister for a couple years, perfectly content being single. One day, randomly blurted out that I hated being single. Her sister asked me to describe what I wanted, I said a few things, and “You just described my sister! Let me introduce you.”

Apparently, she had already thought we would be perfect together. That was 16 years ago, and we’ve been married for almost 13. I could not ask for a more perfect person to have as my wife and dearest friend.

pineapplelover,

What where the few things you described?

habitualcynic,

A couple things I value and a few childish superficial things.

I remember saying something like “why can’t I just meet a really kind, intelligent, kinda nerdy” then I forget, then “short, brown-haired girl?”

And my now-sister in law, “OMG that’s my sister!” Honestly, it feels like it was meant to be.

Ensign_Crab,

This is the most supportive workplace I’ve ever heard of.

habitualcynic,

The whole shitness of that workplace was redeemed by this one single moment from my sister in law lol.

The one time that “We’re like a family here” isn’t a red flag

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

user224,

Well, I didn’t…
And looking at where I am heading, I probably won’t either. However, it is certainly positive, in some way, not for me, but the other person. I am not a good person.

captainlezbian,

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.

refurbishedrefurbisher,

You were at a… dungeon?

captainlezbian,

Yeah, a bdsm venue

showmeyourkizinti,

“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!

captainlezbian,

Thank you, thank you, I aspire to be a positive stereotype of my people.

SwingingTheLamp,

You’ll make admiral someday, I know it.
