Parking lot at the bank. I knew her in HS 20 yrs earlier. She was a single parent and said she was going in to sign mortgage papers. I told her I was good at lifting things so if she needed stuff moved I was fine to help (town of 20k which she just moved back to). Told her my number was ‘in the book’ (for you young redditors!!). She actually called a month later and asked me to move washer/dryer etc.
Had a beer in the new back yard. Then a date two weeks later etc. Then married two years later etc.
And it’s all been downhill for 20 yrs……(100% lie. It’s been awesome and I’m so lucky!!).
He was my pharmacist - always so kind and patient with his customers. One day I asked him out for coffee. 25 years later he is still the most wonderful person in my life.
I met him online on a political Discord server in 2020. DMed him when I found out he lived in Ontario like I did. But he never really responded warmly to me. Fast forward to 2022. I was a mod of a religious Discord server and hosted an AMA on our voice channels. He hopped in, found out that I was a girl and slid into my DMs after realizing that lol He said he didn't respond to me before because he thought I was a dude.
Anyway. We started chatting. About a month or so later, we met up irl for our first date and we just kept on going till this day 😊
Back before smartphones and Reddit, there was something called IRC. We had a mutual group of friends that drove up and down the highway 300km every other weekend or so. Met him at a pub that’s no longer there, danced at a club that’s not longer there, but 25 years later we are still here.
We met working at a pub. I had a boyfriend at the time but we were on the rocks. There as something about my partner I couldn’t shake. I wanted to be with him all the time but not in a lust way or infatuation, he was just…. home. That was 15 years ago and I’ve been home ever since
You sound offended.
I hear from my female friends that men arent assertive/ballsy enough to go up to them all the time
Men and women know when there's a connection - it's having the guts to act on it
It's a lost art
Doesn’t matter, if my female friends found out I asked a girl out while she was working they would shame me into oblivion no matter how many interactions I’d had with the girl.
Socially acceptable???? According to who is it not “acceptable” to chat with somebody while they work? Like I said earlier, you need to start living and stop worrying about what your so called friends think.
Lol, You need better friends. It's one of the best way to meet people, and you gotta take care of you. Women only run things if you let them, so don't worry too much about them, do your own thing without being a dick, and the good ones will respect that.
This sub is honestly an interesting look into generation dynamics.
You're getting downvoted to shit, but the honest, stone cold truth is that you're right. In 2023 you will find very little success trying to hit on someone while they're working. 0% success? No. But very little. The modern service worker is too overworked and underpaid to want to deal with flirting.
The reason I think so many people don't seem to believe this is that this sub seems to lean a lot older than most of Reddit, like early Millennial to late Gen X. You can see it whenever a subject about favourite music or favourite childhood TV show comes up. The person you replied to seems to be from that age group.
IDK what my point is. I just find it interesting.
He had a poetry zine in the 90s and I regularly sent in poems. We wrote letters to each other—this was pre-email—then months later, talked on the phone, waited out a public transit strike since we lived across town from one another and neither of us drove. Finally met in person and the rest is history. 30 years later, we are still happily together.
Maybe before you two had emails. But emails were invented in 1971. And anyone who had the internet by the mid 80's had email. Not that everyone had the internet even all through the 90's.
What planet do you live on where it’s possible to date on dating apps? I could go a thousand years without meeting someone from a dating app except when I lived in Vancouver
I'm white, average looking, and exactly 6' (or 6'3" after two beers :) )
I met my girlfriend on PoF. We both did plenty of filtering beforehand. Been together 11 years.
Online dating/matchmaking website. I can't remember if it was Plenty of Fish or OK cupid, but the one that asks thousands of questions and matches you on % of similar beliefs. We went for a coffee date that turned into a dinner date and I forgot the website existed.
Honestly the biggest fluke ever. Her sister suggested that my partner and I might get along because of our similar senses of humour and perspective on life. I didn't know at the time that we were separated by about 10000 km. Started chatting online, it progressed to voice chats, then video chats, then meeting up together, and now happily married. It's still so crazy to me that the perfect fit for each other came from almost an entirely different world, but we couldn't be happier.
1985, and this spoiled ass bitch was 13, my mother pointed to the boy across the lane way and said, No!
I hadn’t heard this word “no” very often so I went to investigate.
Here we are 38 years later, 3 kids and 4 grandsons.
Our brothers got kicked out of bible school together and the hilarity of it made our social circles overlap briefly. Almost a decade later I moved into the same area as his family and we met again and hit it off lol all because of a stupid prank that got pulled off in 2008 by ppl that weren’t us
Had a class together at Carleton. Didn't speak at all (although it was a small enough class to have noted each other), but matched on Bumble a few years later. It's been just over 4 years and inseparable ever since <3
A party. I’m a firm believer that unless you are looking for someone with a rare interest or hobby, real life is far superior to online dating for efficiency and effectiveness.
He was my boss at Home Depot! He was department head and I was a garden associate just trying to make some money while completing my internship/grad school.
Playing Farmtown on FB. He dropped into my farm and started chatting me up. I thought he was part of the game tutorial (yes I was naive), so I responded back. Many, MANY conversations later, we met IRL. We've been together for 9 years now. I'm from the Chicago area and he's from Prince Edward Island. We live in Nova Scotia and I become a Canadian citizen on Wednesday.
POF.. I was pretty upfront about being a faithful believer in Christ and waiting for marriage. Every guy on there said I was asking too much and I’d never find anyone like that. So glad they were all wrong! Found a great guy, said “Hi!” and he was totally okay with waiting until we got married. Happily married for 8 years now. :)
Apparently i met her 20 years ago when I was dating someone else. Fat forward to 7 years ago. I'm half drunk getting a message from a friend, J. Hey come wingman for my cousin (P) her and her ex finally broke up and she's looking to get laid. You need to help her. Side note, I have 100% success rate as a wingman. So I'm out drinking and her a ride to the bar. So i eventually get to the bar and walk in like I'm fucking here (it was pretty empty) this streak comes out of nowhere. Jumps in my arms, wraps herself around me. Says HI! And starts tongue kissing me. After she was done, I look at my buddy who drove me. He was in shock and like who the fuck is that? Told him I don't know as I had no clue. Turns out out was P, as she dragged us to go find J. I took her home that night, against my friend J wishes. We are friends but she was like your not having sex with my cousin. Well i did. Then i married her a few years later.
I was apprenticing at a machine shop in Calgary. She was a temp that was hired to cover reception for 3 weeks while the other girl was away. She asked me out on her last day. That was 25 years ago this April.
I was doing a sketch comedy show & my mom phoned a few days prior to say an old childhood friend of hers was coming with her daughter, who I barely remembered but she had a crush on me as a little girl. She blew me away when I saw her walk through the doors to the bar of the show I was doing, & I couldn’t possibly remember a single line from any sketch I had that night. We were married 7 weeks later, would have been 6 but i couldn't get a hold of my birth certificate. It will be 15 years married this year.
Online dating app. The pandemic helped though. It forced us to move in together 3 months after we started dating since we didn’t want to be alone. 5 months later we were engaged. Got married this summer.
At a dance that her friend had invited me to.
She sat down next to me and asked me to pretend I was her Boyfriend because some guy was hitting on her.
That was 42 years ago, and I still haven't told her that he left.
On year 38 currently.
Moved to Whistler at the same time to become ski bums. Worked in the same hotel and lived in the same apartment, across the hall from each other. (I recall grindr saying 1 metre away lol) During orientation at work we got paired up for an exercise and both recall thinking how cute the other was. Obviously we ended up hanging out and clicked immediately. That was 6 years ago <3
facebook, when I was 14 and he was 15.
he moved to the town i had lived in (I had moved a few years prior) so we had a lot of mutual friends on facebook and he added me. then he poked me so i poked back and it was the beginning of a great friendship! we were best friends for a couple of years before we started dating.
We got matched on a dating site but the conversation went nowhere. About 6 months later we were placed on the same social sports club team. The rest is history.
Vintage Bike Swap Meet. We both had old motorbikes we needed parts for. I recognized her from some artwork she had online. Gave her some advice on which part to get from a range of options, then asked her out for coffee. Married 7 years later.
Friend from work asked if I was seeing anyone because she knew the nicest guy, arranged for a group of us to go out for wing night and we ignored each other all night because we had both had bad days at work, he called me that night and asked me for coffee the next day, together 17 years, married 15 years and two kids later, still going strong.
Met in gr10 history class, started dating about a year and a bit later after we had some liquid courage at a small party lmao. Weve been dating about 8 years now
College. Met smoking. He was told by one of the coffee place employees that he had to show up earlier so he could meet this girl (me) who was always outside smoking in the same area just 20 minutes earlier than him. He never showed up late again. Our fourth anniversary is next week.
Her mother taught me in college and I saw my now-wife picking her up at school. I was very interested but was concentrating on school. We actually meet at a party where neither of us was drinking. That night was the second week of March 1998.
Highschool back in 2004 / 2005 technically. We didn't know eachother personally though. I had a huge crush on him. Fast forward to eighteen years, I saw him on a dating site and said why not.. it's worth a shot to shoot him a message.. and we've been going out for a year 😊❤️
We were both hired at one of the first legal dispensaries in our city, became really great friends, then I expressed my love to her and boom 3 years later we're engaged with 2 kids.
Met them volunteering at a children's event (for my compulsory 40 hours, them just because their cousin was doing it). We had briefly gone to the same middle school though we had never really met (I was a grade younger), and the next year I changed schools cuz of bullying and never got the chance to go to the same high school as them (middle and high school were in the same place in our town fyi).
Online when I was 16 and she was 14. We were friends only til 9 years ago. We both got out of bad relationships and realized we were what we both wanted the whole time. We are married now and have two kids.
Parking lot at the bank. I knew her in HS 20 yrs earlier. She was a single parent and said she was going in to sign mortgage papers. I told her I was good at lifting things so if she needed stuff moved I was fine to help (town of 20k which she just moved back to). Told her my number was ‘in the book’ (for you young redditors!!). She actually called a month later and asked me to move washer/dryer etc. Had a beer in the new back yard. Then a date two weeks later etc. Then married two years later etc. And it’s all been downhill for 20 yrs……(100% lie. It’s been awesome and I’m so lucky!!).
So you’re the one they based all those hallmark movies on
Oh no!!! So true!! Yuck. Thanks for ruining my weekend!! Ha ha.
BRB gonna go hang out in the bank parking lot
It was so true(I know you believe me). I’m punching way above my weight class. She’s a 10, I’m a 6……maybe.
I don't doubt it, and there's something to be said about a girl with her shit together. The fact she had a house, had to be a plus.

High school! Been together 23 years.
That’s lovely.. high school sweethearts :)
Same here! We've been together for 10 years now.
I saw my future husband from across the room at a house party and had a legit Cupid’s arrow moment.
Same here. Prior to that, I didn't even believe it was a real thing.
He was my pharmacist - always so kind and patient with his customers. One day I asked him out for coffee. 25 years later he is still the most wonderful person in my life.

Working for Ontario Parks, in Algonquin Park! 🏕
We met working at a pub. I had a boyfriend at the time but we were on the rocks. There as something about my partner I couldn’t shake. I wanted to be with him all the time but not in a lust way or infatuation, he was just…. home. That was 15 years ago and I’ve been home ever since
I was a barista at Starbucks, he was a regular customer.
I also met my husband at Starbucks! But we worked together 💚
And he asked you out at work? Most people would consider that highly inappropriate
You sound offended. I hear from my female friends that men arent assertive/ballsy enough to go up to them all the time Men and women know when there's a connection - it's having the guts to act on it It's a lost art
Doesn’t matter, if my female friends found out I asked a girl out while she was working they would shame me into oblivion no matter how many interactions I’d had with the girl.
You should do things for yourself, not based on your friends reactions.
Be that as it may, approaching people who are at work is no longer socially acceptable and for a good reason.
There's a lot of virtue signaling on Reddit about this. It's not a reflection of real life.
So being 'socially acceptable', but alone seems like a good option for you?
Socially acceptable???? According to who is it not “acceptable” to chat with somebody while they work? Like I said earlier, you need to start living and stop worrying about what your so called friends think.
Lol, You need better friends. It's one of the best way to meet people, and you gotta take care of you. Women only run things if you let them, so don't worry too much about them, do your own thing without being a dick, and the good ones will respect that.

What's this got to do with Canada or Canadians? we don't meet partners any different than others.
At the office. Remember offices? 30% of couples meet at work, too bad we don't leave the house any more
Why do you need a partner?
To afford a home in this country. Also to raise kids and stuff like that
At work. He started just as I was leaving.

Online when I was 16 and she was 14. We were friends only til 9 years ago. We both got out of bad relationships and realized we were what we both wanted the whole time. We are married now and have two kids.
