How did you meet your better half?

[FriendwithTractor]

As a 30 year old man in the current commodification heckscape that is modern dating apps, I always found these stories interesting. For example:

My paternal grandfather met my grandmother on a blind date because he had a car, apparently she was pretty standoffish to him at first because she didn't really want to be there, but she warmed up to him.

My father was asleep on the couch when my mother saw him for the first time, he had been lifeguarding at a local lake and was catching some Zs when she stopped by with her cousin to visit my aunt. (Their first date, they went canoeing and he flipped the canoe but that's another story.)

We we both on a charity bike ride many, many years ago. She had a BF at that time but somehow that didn't work out

I met my wife online through a dating app

I was working the night shift at Walmart and a friend came in with a friend; well that friend of a friend brought her friend. It was a bit of an odd meeting and not long after I left for the Army. When I came home on leave we started dating; I left for Korea, and we married when I returned. Never really dated, so that kind of made the first few years difficult, but it's been more than worth it in the end.

I met my wife online in November 2005. After chatting online with her for a year, I flew to the Philippines to meet her in person in November 2006. I proposed marriage and she accepted. We applied for a K1 (fiancé) visa and she arrived in the US in July 2007. We were married that September and have been happily married since. I put her through nursing school and she works for the VA now. Our 11 year old just started 6th grade yesterday

She stepped on my hand as I was leaving the bar

That's a beautiful story, for sure.
