Anybody have any good stories on meeting their significant other that proves “if it’s meant to be it will be”. Some serendipity moments 😊

I was traveling for work and met mine in the terminal. I got chic fil a in the terminal upon arriving and was looking for a spot to sit and eat my breakfast before heading straight to the office. He offered me his seat as he was finishing eating. He works for American Airlines and put me on his flight benefits so I could travel back and forth to see him while we dated long distance. Now we’re engaged ❤️🥰

In college I was super introverted/didn’t have many friends, and as a personal development exercise decided I was just going to introduce myself at random to the first person I saw at the next student event I went to.

Anyway, we’re married now.

I never had a girlfriend until my junior year of high school. She had already graduated, and after dating for several months, she got pregnant. We got married when I was 18 and she was 19. Our daughter was born just before my graduation. My wife had a decent full time job, and I worked nearly full time while going to college. We’ve been married for over 35 years, and that daughter now has 4 kids, so I’d say it was meant to be.

Noticed my now husband at a bar, from across the room, cheesy as it sounds and told my friend I was with that my future husband was there. Low and behold she recognized the friend he was with and we approached them to say hi. Ran into him again a few weeks later, at another bar and exchanged info. In the 90's that meant writing your name and number on a bar napkin, lol. We've been together since.

Met 2019 on a dating app and it fizzled out.. then I found her on LinkedIn. Entered DMs to catch up and boom! Now we’re engaged. To be fair, I didn’t slide in there as a stranger. But I pursued and she digged it.

She’s the one because I’ve always wanted her and thought she was perfect for me. We both feel the same about each other now. It’s crazy how things work out. Imagine I never added her on LinkedIn since we’ve already “tried”.

My boyfriend was my middle school crush, but his family moved away (sad little 7th grade heartbreak since I never got to say how I felt💔). Fast forward 14 years, he adds me on instagram. We talked as acquaintances for 4-5 months, until one day he confessed he liked me in middle school too, we gave it a try, just one date and he’s my bf of almost 2 yrs now. ☺️

I never go out but had friends in town and they wanted to go to the bar. I chatted with a cute guy on a rowdy bachelor party and eventually gave him my number when he asked (first time ever giving the real one) and we went separate ways.
Later in the night he was pretty wasted when we ran into him at another bar and he asked for my number again claiming I didn't give it to him earlier so I gave it to him again.

He called me as soon as he woke up they next day admitting he couldn't remember much but he had my number in his pocket twice so he obviously really liked me.

Not the most romantic but 15 years, and 8 years of marriage later! Lol

Husband and I noticed each other from across the bar. I was only at the bar because it was on my way home from a dinner I had with friends and my roommate asked me to stop by to meet her new guy. Husband actually was there on another date (I didn’t realize 😂) but I bought him a drink when we ended up at the bar at the same time. Exchanged numbers and chatted for a couple weeks before we finally went out on a real date. My life would be so different if I decided to just go home after dinner!

First day of our internship for Big4 in college we went to Central Park and had a field day type relationship building. Played ultimate Frisbee and literally ran over my now wife while running up field and looking back for frisbee. We both went back to different colleges for senior year and then started full time the next year in different cities. We both travelled to Boston (me for an engagement and her for training) and decided to get dinner. Together 10 years, married 5 and 2 kids later
