I met my ex husband in a strip club. Nope, I wasn't working there.


I had boobs in my face that night. I guess he liked that. I for sure did.

We attended the same high school but never crossed paths. A couple of years later, when we were attending the same university, a mutual acquaintance introduced us. We married two years later and celebrated our twenty-seventh anniversary this past spring.

It did. It was small, but the people were super high quality. Met several awesome chicks there and had a good connection with one I'm still friends with. She got married a few years ago, her husband is also way cool. It was sold and merged with another group ages ago.

Mutual friends
Co-ed rec sports leagues
Various places of her work (target cashier, restaurant waitress, etc.)
College
Poker table
On a cruise
Blind dates/setups
OKC
Craigslist

I'm comfortable approaching in any environment with a reputation for that kind of behavior being "acceptable" (i.e. bars, clubs, etc.) or alternatively, in an environment where we've had time to get to know one another to a point where an approach would come off as creepy. So, for example, I'm RARELY going to talk to a woman at a grocery store or something, but if we're in a rec sports league and got to know each other, I might ask her out at the end of the season or something.

I'm comfortable BEING approached literally anywhere. I might question your motives if you were to knock on a bathroom stall and ask me out, but I can't think of a scenario where a woman would cold approach me and I'd think poorly of her for doing so.

My (now) ex-wife: AOL chatroom (this was before Facebook or MySpace). In fact, I've met a couple of past lovers on AOL.

Oh, through an online video game (a MMORPG, for those familiar with the term)

I met my high school boyfriend and first husband on AOL, and pretty much most of the men I dated prior to meeting my first husband.

Every guy I dated thereafter I met on PoF, OKC, and Match.

I met my boyfriend on Match.com back in Feb., can't believe it's been almost a year! He was the first guy I met in person from there...had exchanged a few emails with a few others but he wanted to meet a few days after we first chatted. I'm glad I didn't have to go on 100 first dates like it seems like a lot of people have had to!

I met my husband at University. We knew each other from the first year, but didn't start dating until the third year.

I'm not sure about this internet dating that people do these days. My brother met a woman through this and she's turned out to be a right ***** from hell.
