How did you meet your FH?
I'd love to hear everyone's stories!
I met my FH about 17 years ago. We both went to the same youth group. I don't remember much about him - I knew his brother better - other than he was the weird guy that did flips, lol. Almost 6 months ago we reconnected via FB and now we're getting married in 11 days!
Everyone else?
Re: How did you meet your FH?
We didn't date right away because I was busy dumping another guy I'd met online. Straight up Disney

<div>We met in a class in college. It was an elective for both of us, so it was pretty fate-like. I had this habit of trying to spot a cute boy in every class to daydream about when lectures got boring. I was starting to get a little dismayed because it was girl after girl walking in on the first day. All of a sudden, in walks this tall, lanky, hunk of a man and I decided that I wanted to date him. Next class, I sat next to him. A few weeks later I wrote my number in his notebook. We talked/texted/Facebooked for awhile and then went on a date. After that, it was sealed. I knew we were going to get married.</div><div>
</div><div>And I was RIGHT so take THAT! I use that against him sometimes. He's like "You're not always right you know" and I'm like "Please, I predicted we were going to get married BEFORE YOU ASKED ME TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" Clearly I'm related to Prof. Trelawney.</div>

the next day I told my friend what had happened and I told her that I thought I was seriously in love with this guy just after one night. She got mysteriously mad at me and gave me the silent treatment the rest of the weekend. Come to find out, she had a crush on him and never told anyone. But by the time she had the "you know whats" to tell me the truth, she had stopped talking to me for a month. And I never knew why. Either way... my FI and I have been together 3 years now since then and can't wait to be married in JUNE 2013!!!!!! AHHH!! He is truly my best friend. And now I know what it means to have best friend!

A month later I get a weird friend request on Facebook proceeded a couple weeks after by an invite to a house party. I checked the guest list, didn't know anyone invited except for the "creep" who friend requested me.
After the local county fair in my friend's hometown a month later, I think this guy "M" is cute so we head out for drinks afterwards in a large group of friends. I'm at the other end of the bar when FI walks in and starts talking to "M". My friends tell me that this is the Facebook creeper!! I walk over to check this guy out, and to have an excuse to talk to "M". Well the rest is history and now "M" is in our BP. We all joke now about how FI is a total creep
Here's the short story I tell family: FI and I met through mutual friends. My roommate at the time was dating his cousin. We all met up in the city for Saint Patrick's Day and I was attracted to him and his personality right off the bat.
The rest of the story: After our day of bar hopping I looked him up on myspace and kept hoping I'd see him again. Finally 5 months later we all hung out and he got my digits. We dated casually for the next few months, he didn't want to get 'serious' so I started dating other people too. One night I got really drunk at an 80s party and apparently yelled at him a lot and even slapped him in the face(because getting drunk and yelling at someone is the logical way of getting them to fall in love with you, crazy 21 year old). I lost my cell phone and leg warmers and got a pretty bad hand injury that night. I woke up and my roommates told me it was definitely over with him. He called me a few minutes later to make sure I was okay. The next day he asked me to be his Valentine and our relationship got pretty serious after that. We've been happy together ever since (5 years). I still can't figure out why in the world my FI asked me to be his Valentine after that, but it was the best day of my life up until last Valentine's Day when he proposed. :-)
[QUOTE]I met my FI through Missed Connections. Yep, the Craigslist kind.

<div>No way! PLEASE tell the story.</div><div>
</div><div>I kind of forgot about these, but I used to love reading them. I was going to post one once. I was talking to this guy at the dog park a few years back and thought we really connected. Neither one of us asked for a number and I was convinced he was going to post one. Good thing he didn't because then I may not have met my FI.</div><div>
</div><div>I met him through work. I was in a city where I knew few people and I had the type of sales job where the more you worked, the more money you could earn. So, that's all I did. I went to present my product in another state to a large account. He is a user of our product that also serves as an advocate. We could call him in to talk to other customers about our product. So, he was assigned to work with me at this account. We lived about 8 hours from each other so although I thought he was very handsome and liked him immediately, I didn't think it would go anywhere. He added me on Facebook, and we would post on each other's walls here and there. A few months later, he went to one of my accounts without me, and called to update me after. We stayed on the phone for hours and, after that, started talking regularly. The calls turned into visits, and 2 years later we were engaged. Six months after that, we purchased a house and finally live in the same city.</div>
I was about to give up and take a really crazy job position an hour away that would not be conducive to having a new relationship... and then I starting talking to FI. I really liked him but I knew he was disabled so didn't think I was going to be interested in him but said what the heck? He can't be worse than the Ghostbuster. The more we talked, the more excited I was to meet him. I was supposed to just meet him for dinner but I ended up spending the night and I've been with him almost every night since over 2 years now.
[QUOTE]We met on Pogo Games in a game called Word Whomp.

I second this! Please tell us. I still read them from time to time. I think they're so sweet and romantic.
My FH and I met online when he was 12 and I was 13 on some video game message board. We were pretty angsty, nerdy teens so we bonded right away. We stayed really good online friends over the years and even flirted with the idea of being a couple (I still have emails from my 16-year-old FH telling me he was in love with me). However, him living in England meant that it would never really work.
When I was 23, I took a trip to Europe and we met up in London just to say that we finally did. We spent 12 hours exploring the city, talking non-stop about absolutely everything - and we were inseparate for the duration of my trip. 8 months later, I moved here. And now, a year and a half later, we're getting married!
