At a science-fiction convention, walking down the hall. Pass a guy, get about six feet away, and turn around to find that he's turned around as well (simultaneously, I'm told by witnesses).

Love at first sight. We're 27 years together now, 24 years married.

Ordered item on ebay, forgot to update my address. Contacted new occupant of my former apartment (grad school housing) who agreed to bring box to me on campus. We met, I put my arms out to take box, he mistook the gesture to be asking for a hug, so hugged me. Together 10 years.

I brought my four-year-old to meet my BF at the aquarium. She said, "I love you and want you to be my dad."

I nearly died, but he said, "How about I pretend to be your dad for today?" and then they held hands the whole day.

We got married, he adopted her, he's her dad. https://t.co/PEmPwawOHA

In high school at the 4H fair, I pulled a toy sword out of a boy's belt and we duelled. We knew of each other but had never spoken before.

Now we're married.

I love crossword puzzles. Early into our relationship, my spouse made a crossword puzzle for me. All the clues were jokes from the first few months of our friendship/relationship. 20 years later, I still have it tucked into the book I was reading when he gave it to me.

When I first moved to Philly I put a Craigslist post up in the platonic section to meet new people.

A woman replied, we emailed a bit, but we never met.

Nearly a decade later we connected on OkCupid, and I stumbled on those old emails.

We’re married. Our kid is three. ???? https://t.co/Kb5TEY9gHj

End of a date & I REALLY like a guy. We kiss in at the subway entrance on Central Park South & I run down the stairs to hop the train. At that EXACT moment, my roommate is on a double-decker bus & sees the date bust out a happy dance after I disappear.

Reader, I married him. pic.twitter.com/YffxMefhtt

Met a boy at a bookstore. Gave him my number after he lent me his books. 10 years later I started writing books about our life together. 15 years after that he helped me open my own bookstore.
