    I'm not dating anyone right now but I met my ex girlfriends on dating sites since there are no open lesbians my age or bi women my age willing to date females in my city.

    I met him before I went to college.

    Me: From wisconsin, starting school in the bay area, CA.

    Him: From georgia, going to school in san francisco.

    The link: He is friends with one of my good friends, and after I came out she was very accepting! When he came out to visit her she introduced us. We got along great. When I started school in CA it just progressed into a romantic relationship.

    Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Hmm well my happiest and longest realtionship was wth my ex girlfriend I was with her for two years and I met her by hitting her with my car (accidently) so maybe that isn't the best story to share cause it doesn't always mean happiness

    And I met my current girlfriend in the cliche gay bar luckily we both go the same college and that started cnversation :grin:

    I met my husband during my second year at uni.
    He was a friend of a friend, and at that time he had a grilfriend and I used to think that I'd like to take her boyfriend and her boots.
    We saw each other a few times that year. He broke up with his girlfriend but then leave the university and I tought I'll never see him again. But during fall of the next year, his best friend and my best friend became a couple, and it gave me the opportunity to see him again during a party at my friends place.
    We were both supposed to spend the night there, and our friends gave a little boost to the luck when they told us at 3 am that we were sleeping in the same bed (a one place bed) while originaly boys were supposed to sleep together and I was supposed to sleep with my best friend.
    The one place bed and my silk baby doll did the rest :slight_smile:

    Online. Honest. One of my friends told me to sign up on this website because he was on it and he felt weird not knowing anyone. So I signed up and I started talking to a guy who lives near me and knows people in my town that I know. Almost six months later, here we are still together.

    We met through friends. We are both in the same line of work. In the past, I had decent luck meeting nice guys in bars and online. While both bars and the internet can be used to hook up, I found there were many great guys who were looking for relatonships.

    She goes to my school and was friends with my brother when I first met her. Things just kind of went on from there. :grin:

    My ex and I went to the same high school. Apparently she had the biggest crush on me for months. I suppose one day she grew a pair (at a big football game where my "new" school was playing my previous school), and texted me (after getting my number from a friend of mine). I was going to tell her that I wasn't interested because, at the time, I was interested in someone else (who turned out to make me feel like shit every time I hung out with her), but then we started talking… and hanging out… and then one night, she stayed over at my house, and… I knew I wanted to be with her.
    She was the only person I've ever had "relations" with who has been able to make me feel all tingly. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    I don't remember what happened next, but somehow we managed to get into a relationship…

    *sigh*

    But the boots didn't last as long as our relationship, fortunately for me :wink:

    I have only had one relationship thus far. We both went to the same high school and met through a friend I met in my freshman-year Spanish class. Though I never had any other classes with said friend, we stayed close, and I met my ex through him, who was a friend of his. A few years later, when he realized he was gay, he came out to me first via e-mail. At that point, I was still going through the phase where I was desperate for romance and viewed every gay guy I met as a potential boyfriend. He was the first person about whom I said, "Ok, just because he's gay doesn't mean he's boyfriend material. You don't need to ask him out; just be a supportive friend." And then he asked me out. Go figure. :rolleyes: It was nice while it lasted.

    No such thing as a happy couple. Well, at least if you've been a couple for more than a few months.

    Tony and I went to Connect, a local Queer youth group. One day he asked for my Myspace and we messaged each other for a bit, then exchanged numbers and went to the movies and had lunch. We had a date essentially but neither one of us wanted to admit it. I shot him down about 4 times, then finally submitted and we've been partners for about 9 months now.

    I judged him as the quiet nerdy introverted type with a real mean streak.
    I couldn't have been more wrong.
