In high school we worked at a burger king together. I actually had a huge crush on his best friend, he even used to give me dating advise! I knew he was someone special, when I accidentally threw out my retainer while on break. When my shift was over, I knew my parents were gonna KILL me so I had to dig through about 12 bags of nasty, wet, burger king garbage. When I punched out, he was there, waiting to help me. I never did find my retainer, but I found my husband that day. It was 1985. Today we have 2 boys, and things are still going strong!
Online - through WarCraft 3. He lived in California and I lived in Canada. I flew down at 17 to meet him and the rest is history (Not sharing that with my kids until they are adults LOL).
High School sweethearts. Dated off and on until graduation, split, and then got together again right after college. He's my best friend and was my best friend before we both realized we wanted to be more than just that.
He's been there at 265 and he's been there at 170 and has been happy with all the in-betweens. Will never say it's been perfect, but I have no designs to trade him in any time soon!
I've spent a lot of time breaking him in Don't think I'd find anyone else that will put up with me either LOL
Online - Plenty of Fish to be specific. 6.5 years together (3 married), one beautiful daughter and another on the way.
I met A LOT of douchebags, weirdos, and nice people who I just wasn't interested in (or vice versa) before finally finding him though.
I second the suggestion for meetup.com. It's also a great way to meet friends. What ever your interest is, there's a group for it, haha. I've been to a few for pure social reason, I wasn't looking for a relationship.
I met my boyfriend in (of all places) a bar. I swore I'd never date a guy I met in a bar because they're only there for one reason, lol. We just had our 3rd anniversary.

I met my husband on an MMO, Everquest. We were guildmates, and I had a crush on him, we got to talking one day and the rest is history. He lived near St. Louis, and I lived in Ontario, Canada. I flew down to meet him, and knew we were meant to be from that first weekend.
What fun stories! Thanks for sharing and all the advice! I haven't done Match.com in particular in a while (was using OkCupid and eharmony). And I am already a member of one meetup group (That happens to be predominately male) but maybe I should do some more things I love and see what happens.
i met my ex-husband when i was very young in college, hanging out with mutual friends...we all were going to college together...
i met my current DH in 2 ways....i first met him through an alaskan chatroom on yahoo (not singles personals, just a regional chatroom) and then realized he worked for the state legislature and i was covering that stuff as a journalist so we talked on the phone also...that was 10 years ago now
I would hate to muck up an existing social dynamic. Dating within my group of friends feels like incest - but friends of friends is different of course.
Right now there's a lot of inter-sexing/dating in my local crew of 10-12 people. It feels like walking on eggshells to be around them, some people know things while others don't, when there are fights it's AWKWARD for everyone!
They have goth clubs in Newfoundland?! Impressed
we have alternative clubs but this was a rave/party it wasn't in a club. I live in a city lol.

Yet another online relationship! (So not helpful as per your post... sorry!)
My husband and I were 'matched' on EHarmony in April of 2010 (He was actually like one of my first matches and the ONLY person I spoke to) and chatted for a while but didn't actually meet IRL until June. I was sure I had made a jerk of myself and was embarassed about my size at the time, but we kept chatting and met up again on the 4th of July.
We were together from that day on; engaged in September 2011, married in July of 2012.
Don't think I'd find anyone else that will put up with me either LOL
