I met my wife at our church, but I didn't really get to know her until her Dad was my supervisor for a summer internship. I started helping him with some home remodeling projects as a way to learn some basic home repair skills, and she and I ended up spending a lot of evenings sitting on their porch swing, talking. We kept in touch over the years, and 8 years later we ended up together.

We worked together. He would come in the office and talk to me and soon we were doing the "moonlight" banter back and forth. I speak Spanish and one day we were talking and he said he wanted to learn Spanish. SO after work, I started tutoring him. In lieu of pay, he took me out to dinner or we would study over dinner. In those months we became very good platonic friends. THen one day we realized that we had also fallen in love. 2 months later I moved in and now 15 years later we are still going strong. Gracias a dios!

We met at church through a mutual friend.
Our mutual friend would organize all sorts of activities, and I would definitely go if Julie was going to be there. After about a year of that we finally went out on our first date.

I met my wife in the hallway of the UC Davis Psychology building during my sophomore year there. She was sitting on the floor, stressed out over getting into classes that she needed. While walking by her, I stopped and asked her if she needed any help (I was also a resident advisor for one of the college dorms) and helped her make sense of the course listings in the student catalog. A couple of days later, she saw me in a psych class we had both enrolled in and we became friends first, then started dating about 4 months later.

I met my wife while I was a third year medical student on my Obstetrics rotation. She was the very friendly and pretty unit clerk working casual on the weekend.

Default Met at school/work

I met my girlfriend (soon to be fiancée - I'm sure she has no idea this site exists, so the surprise will still be safe) in 1999 at the university where we both now work. I had graduated and took a job in the office where she was still a student worker. She was in a relationship at the time and I never really thought about asking her out. When she finally graduated a few years later she moved back home and was working for about a year but we kept in touch and I let her know of a job opening in my office, which she interviewed for but did not get. Well, another office actually saw her resume and asked her in for another interview a few months later and she got that job. We started to run into one another every once in a while during our lunches and soon started going to office outings together and eventually it all led up to where we are now.
Now, in two months I'm surprising her with a trip to Chicago for her birthday (I've secretly cleared it with her boss already so I can really surprise her a few days before we leave). Plus, I'm taking a ring along and have 2 or 3 possible proposition spots planned depending on weather and time of day, etc. (I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to planning).
Anyway, thanks for the mouse giveaway!

I met my wife sailing -- she met a friend of mine while bar hopping with her sister. He invited them sailing, and took them from the columbia river up past the first dam on the Snake River where I had my boat. We sailed togeather all day, people switching boats, swimming. Topped it off by relaxing in my hot tub that evening - sipping wine.
