Technically, Facebook. I say "technically" because we were actually in the same graduating class of our high school but even though there was a lot of overlap in our social circles (she even briefly dated a guy who was an acquaintance/somewhat friend of mine) and we typically ate lunch less than 20 feet from each other, we never really knew each other. She later told me that she knew me better through reputation and the Mustang GT I drove at the time. I didn't even really know her at all, though in typical Bosco-Charmâ„¢ fashion I told her awhile back "with your boobs, I noticed you back then...I just don't remember noticing you".
Anyways, she had never been the social media type apparently and didn't join Facebook until late 2013, and while adding old classmates found me sometime in June 2014. We ended up striking up a conversation and clicked pretty much instantly, but I was in an on again/off again relationship that was in its death spiral and also a health issue at the time, so I held off her advances for a short while. I finally agreed to meet her in mid-September of last year and we've been seeing each other ever since.
Me and my husband we live in the same cheap rent area neighborhood, that was how we met, dated, and married.
Our distance is ridiculously close, his apartment is 5 minutes within walking distance to my apartment. Due to our close disatance we pretty much see each others everyday, became friends and started from there. Times sure goes by fast, already 4 years knowing each others. And he is an awesome awesome husband too.
I do find it to be awkward to married someone in such that close distance.
Because look at today technology and airplane, people met Online/Long Distance and got married. And I married a guy who I just step outside and there he is. I feel like I don’t live in modern time but I live in ancient time. In 2015, people just don’t married someone from their neighborhood anymore.
And I'm willing to bet with how today technology is, the statistic chances of those who married someone they met through Online dating/or Long distance relationship outnumber/more likely to happen than those who married someone from the same neighhorhood as them.
I do know married couples who met through Online dating. In fact, one of my friend is getting married in June and they met Online.
I met my H of nearly 31 years long before the days of the internet so I am must be really, really old.
He sort of dated a casual friend of mine in college for a very brief time. They were officially over, but they still hung out together as they were part of a larger group. One night they and a couple of their other friends dropped by the house my roommates and I lived in to escape the cold and snow on their way back to their dorm after a nearby party.
The next week the mutual friend invited me and my roommates to a party. He was there, but my roommates only wanted to stay a brief time so I left. We talked the whole time. Again the next weekend this same mutual friend invited us all to another party. My roommates decided not to go so I went alone hoping he would be there again. He was, and the rest is history.
A side note: according to DH we met the previous fall at a VERY large party my roommates and I held. There were so many strangers at that party, and it was college, so I was a bit drunk. I don't recall that meeting. He was only there a short time because he didn't like large parties with a couple hundred drunks running around.
I checked mutual friend. The friend didn't really set us up, but it was because we both knew her that we met. I often wonder where that friend is today.
I had just started college and some friends from high were throwing a party and I offered to help.
I was tasked with a rather long shopping list as I was one of the few that had a car. My future wife (one of the roommates) offered to come along to help and keep me company. We ended up having a blast! Never had so much fun running errands.
We ended up as very close friends and started to do almost everything together; laundry, groceries, ate, shopping, etc. Even became roommates for a while.... the relationship turned a little strange because we were too close for friends but not in a commit relationship. All our friends "assumed" we were together. At some point we finally admitted to ourselves and entered into a relationship "officially". I guess it just took a while for us to realize it. We didn't have our first real date until shortly after we decided we were a couple.....
