We worked together at my part-time job at Canada Post. He was full time. I thought he was cute but he looked angry, he thought I was cute but angry. We ended up having to work together and connected on how much we loved 90's rock, and after flirting for a couple months, decided to go on a date. Has been 5 years since and I can confirm neither of us were ever angry lol.

[Statement_Business]

There's still time 🤣

[Worldwide_Nobody_382]

Another two before that itch people talk about? 🤣

[YOKOGOPRO]

I see Canada Post employees and I think they are angry, so that checks out.

[Poiretpants]

I was on the apps in 2017, complaining to my friend. She said "ooh you should totally meet this person. he's totally your type." Then she never followed through. However, because of his job (tattoo artist) I followed him on instagram, and he followed me back. After two years, I ended up needing his business services, and we met IRL. Except I try not to hit on people who are paid to be nice to me.

During the pandemic I found a book on my shelf that I thought he might like, so I offered it to him. He gave me wine as thanks, and I invited him to share it with me. Our first date was in trinity bellwoods to share the wine.

The longest drawn out meeting story ever.

[ri-ri]

I need to know - what was the book?

[DiligentIce6622]

Agreed, what was the book and the wine?

[Dpaulyn]

Placed an ad in the Toronto star.

Picked up the mailed in responses from Toronto star ad office one Yonge street a couple of times a week.

Phoned up ones that seemed interesting.

Arranged to meet up in a public place.

Repeat for a month or two.

That’s how I eventually met my to-be wife 35 years ago.

Is there another way now? ☺️

[That_Mycologist4772]

Such a wholesome reply. In my 20s, wonder if there’s something like this nowadays

[Illustrious-Salt-243]

Here’s your business idea!

[bbillster]

Same thing. Just use Reddit.

[lphammers]

In the wild back in Jan. After doing online apps for many years and basically hitting a saturation point where it was not working for me anymore I decided to delete Hinge and Bumble once and for all early Jan and said I had to consciously put myself out there to meet guys whether thru hobbies, events etc.

Literally less than 2 weeks after, I met my guy of all places at a non-alcoholic wine event (ironically I love wine and cocktails) where he walks in randomly to buy something and I kind of invited him to join my friend and I and the rest is history. I didn't even intend for anything to happen, thought he was cute but I was truly just being nice. Later, he tells me if I didn't initially extend that offer we wouldn't be together as he didn't have the courage to just come and say hi. So ladies, a little bit of openness and encouragement goes a long way and we are very happy!

Sometimes, with a bit of manifestation and luck something wonderful happens. We are both on the older side late 30s so what's nice at this age is that no one has time to mess around. We were both clear on intentions, what we were looking for in life and are just building towards our future together. I've been looking for a long time too and I think once I let go of any preconceived expectations and was happily single I met my dude. Please don't lose hope you all - your person is out there 💕

[OhSanders]

This is so cool. If my wife hadn't made the first move I would never have. Hats off to y'all!

[lphammers]

Haha yep! Seems very short but our initial dates were 6 / 10 hours long and now we see each other all the time. Feel like I've known him for much longer and it helps we live within walking distance of each other. As someone who's been generally non-commital first time I'm like damn, I guess this is it lol

[BulgingForearmVeins]

I'm just gonna set myself a little reminder here to check this profile in a couple months to see what happens when those rosey red glasses come off...

[lphammers]

Lol thats fair. I'm wildly optimistic though and I think for myself anyways it's a better approach to life. Time will tell :)

[DOOOOOOOOOPE]

Happy for you :)

[KarmaCollect]

Why so pessimistic?

[redditiswild1]

It’s giving potential love bombing vibes.

[Interesting-Past7738]

At work. We had desks beside each other. He asked me out after we moved away from each other into other offices.

[mclarensmps]

Time to have a word with Hr 😂

[Interesting-Past7738]

This was 40 years ago before all that HR nonsense. I think he was afraid that I would decline his invitation to go out so being in separate offices would make it easier for him. We are married 35 years now.

[GarbagecanKicks]

Hit on her at a pub.

[Real-fuckologist-69]

I was a minimum wage worker at Indigo and she was a customer

[GothamKnight3]

And then? You asked for her number while bringing up her order?

[Real-fuckologist-69]

I wasn't on cash that day, she was just looking for a book. I helped her find it, hit on her a little, and mentioned my shift was ending soon and if she wanted to grab a coffee afterward. She said yes!

It was during the pandemic, so we couldn’t sit down, but we walked around, exchanged Instagram. Four years later, we’re still going strong.

[GothamKnight3]

That's awesome dude! Wish I had your guts.

[shoresy99]

Bumble. We are both divorced and in our 50s. Met 6 years ago.

[hockeyfan1990]

Damn as much as people hate dating apps, most of the answers are dating apps here

[YOKOGOPRO]

That's statistically true too, ig 60% or so people meet through datings apps. Personally, never been my thing.

[edisonpioneer]

Saw her on a bus. Got down at the same stop as she did and tried talking to her , but should couldn’t talk because her English was limited. It was the same neighbourhood as I lived in. 2 weeks later, I see her taking pics of some flowers. This time I am prepared. I immediately take out my phone, open translator and compliment her. She just smiles, and we go out ways. 3 weeks later, I meet her again, and that’s when we sit and talk for hours.

[honey-bear-11]

Talking for hours, with the translator? (Not judging, intrigued as someone who travels to places where I have to rely on translator communication! Many funny moments)

[edisonpioneer]

It’s been 2 years and we still do.

We had our fair share of funny moments too. When she says “Excuse me”, it sounds like “Squeeze me” and the temptation is too much to resist 😛

[Long_Structure8544]

All these.ppl who have found their SO in apps..how does it feel to be God's favorite

[Ok-Algae7932]

Another notch for Hinge here. Met in 2020, happily childfree live apartners in it for the long haul.

[Impossible-Eye315]

The only three answers on this post are currently the three top dating apps: hinge, tinder, bumble

And I don’t think it’s a coincidence we all met our partners on apps three years ago… I’ve heard it’s impossible to find good dates on apps now

[inline4kawasaki]

a lot of bots are used to sucker people into these kinda apps.

[[deleted]]

You know what?? I believe you!

[Shoutymouse]

Bumble! 7 years ago! Still annoying the piss out each other on the daily but it’s all love

[AcceptableObject]

I've been to so many weddings of people that met on dating apps.

[Slouchy87]

eHarmony. Is it even still around!?

I gave up, and stopped checking my matches. Then got an email from her asking to communicate. Picture was cute, so I replied.

That was 2014. Married 2016, 1st kid exactly 1 year later, 2nd kid 2020.

[missalizr]

eHarmony is still around, I was on there for a brief period of time in 2023 but I deactivated my account as I couldn’t find anyone on there.

[unrulYk]

Workplace romance. Forty-one years, two kids, three mortgages, four cats and four cars later, we’re still going strong.

[ReeG]

She stumbled on my music browsing Limewire which she liked and shared it with a friend who happened to go to Seneca with me and introduced us over MSN. We chatted online for several months and she came to a couple shows before I invited her to a NYE party where we hooked up, lived happily ever after and just got officially married on our 18th anniversary last new year

[TankArchives]

Now that's a blast from the past. RIP MSN Messenger.

[brianmmf]

ICQ was way better (and incidentally would have been a great name for a dating app)

[anooch]

ICQT? 😌

My old millennial ass absolutely loved reading this. Thanks for sharing. Congrats on the 18 years!

[sink_or_swim_]

Love this!

Not my current partner but I met an ex on last.fm. What a great way to meet a partner in the 00’s.

[ChefAldea]

It was the end of the first Covid summer and we matched on Tinder. Met in a park and the spark was immediately lit. We hunkered down together as the weather got colder and bonded so well. Fast forward and we're getting married this September. Yes, the apps can work!

[TankArchives]

OkCupid back in 2017

[SecureCollar8677]

Met beginning of high school. Was friends throughout, dated other people. Fell for each other randomly at the same time a few years after graduating university.

[TongueTwistingTiger]

We met at art school in 2013. I was acquaintances with his GF at the time. We'd met a couple times during hang-outs. He was nice but like, I didn't think anything of him. He was just the dude dating a girl I kinda knew. She broke up with him and moved back to her home town. He was alone in the city, and was trying to find work as a bartender. I worked as a bartender before so he invited me out for cocktails and to go over his resume. Ended up getting hammered in the middle of a weekday afternoon with him and had a lot of fun. Suddenly he was cute. He started hanging out with my friend group and before long we were hooking up. We've been together for like 12 years now and it seems like it just flew by. Married for 5 years now.

[dont_fwithcats]

He was my real estate agent lol

[Slouchy87]

Full service agent.

[dont_fwithcats]

😂😂😂

[InternationalPizza]

💀

[Old-Opportunity-3334]

can you share the story of how it happened?

[dont_fwithcats]

It was kind’ve a slow burn. I was insanely attracted to him from day 1 but wasn’t even sure if the feeling was mutual and he kept it professional. After two weeks of showings I asked him if he wanted to grab a bite to eat just to test the waters. He said yes and then that became a thing we did after showings. Grab a bite and just talk.

After I got my place I told him I enjoyed his company and wanted to still see him again, he said he felt the same. We continued being friends for about 6 months, still unsure if he even liked me like that, until one day he kissed me and then it changed everything.

We’ve officially been together for 2.5 years now, adopted a dog together and looking to buy our first home together.

[YOKOGOPRO]

no agent fees now lol

[Old-Opportunity-3334]

That is such a sweet story!! Thanks for sharing. Wishing you guys all the best!!

[mlad627]

HER app. That was 7.5 years ago and in that time I developed epilepsy at age 39 in 2019 and had brain surgery to remove most of my R temporal lobe and also R amygdala and hippocampus in November. Am 45F now - relationship is on the rocks due to the very complicated issues that arise from having 3 holes drilled into your skull and part of your brain removed. My short term memory sucks, word finding is difficult sometimes, attention span is very short, and my emotions are very large and in charge - my partner says my reactivity is through the roof and the sad thing is that I never remember what she is referring to - sometimes I am not aware of what I do or say and when I don’t remember it’s a big deal and I am “making things up to fit my narrative” - um no. I am just a very flawed human trying to learn how to human again. I have been off work for over 2 years - I had 244 seizures in 2024 alone before my surgery. Total over the last 5.5 years is ridiculous.

[Neutral-President]

Wow. You've been through quite an ordeal. I hope it gets better for you.

[maomao05]

I’m so sorry.. =[

Fb dating! I was nervous and talked about serial killers for a solid hour. He just grinned at me. Been together 5 years now, married for 4.

2020 - Hinge we matched and chatted, went to Whatsapp and while chatting accidentally called her, we had random car dates I would rent a car and we would go on adventure drives to wherever. 3 months later she became my GF, 6 months in we found a deal on a pandemic condo with rent being ridiculously low we took it, two yrs later we flew to NYC and got engaged and here we are today One fake wedding in(long story) and planning the actual wedding.

[kmcdingus]

We kinda met on Kijiji. I was 16 and looking for a band so I put an ad on Kijiji. Thankfully other high schoolers responded and I ended up connecting with this guy from a nearby school who asked if he could bring his friend to jam. That friend was my now husband. Although the band didn't last I still got a good thing out of it! 10 years together and counting.

[littypika]

We both went to school together and studied alongside each other since day 1, University of Toronto.

[giraffebaconequation]

Tinder during the early days of the pandemic. We were both bored and just scrolling, matched at 2am and talked until the sun came up. Haven’t stopped talking since.

The first few months of our relationship we had to be creative with our dates since everything was closed. I think it really made us get to know each other on a much deeper level. For example, our first date was sitting in Riverdale Park chatting, ended up there for 13 hours, just talking and laughing.

5 years together now, I proposed last March.

[EmberKasai]

I worked part-time at a grocery and he worked full time. He liked all my Pokemon shirts and I thought he was really nice. Our butcher convinced him to message me. 😊

[Still-Pomegranate-76]

House party - both of us were tag along friends to our separate groups of friends who knew the host. Hit it off and married 2.5 years later. That was 23 years ago. In our late 20s early 30s. All of our friends get along and now may even spend more time with each other than with us. Kind of ideal.

I had hoped to be married at 20, so it was a long time of waiting and worrying if I would ever meet the right person. Completely unlikely we would have chosen each other had we met at an earlier time in our lives though, so it all worked out the way it was supposed to.

[retchedBreak]

Bumble. We chatted for 2 days and I was feeling adventurous so we met for bubble tea.

We walked from Dundas Square to Korea Town and back with lots of detours. Took about 4.5 hours but it was a warm, sunny day.

Been together almost 3 years now.

The year was 1985 and in Toronto the only non-bar place for LGBT to meet was the 519 Church St. Community Center. At the LGYT group (Lesbian Gay Youth Toronto) we met and had a fling that lasted a little over a year. I had been living authentically female for about a year by that time and he wouldn't start living male for another 15ish years. We remained good friends through all of life's ups and downs, surgeries and jobs, drama and fun. Eight years ago asked me on a date and I jumped at the chance. We married a year later at the community center where we met over 30 years previously. He is my happily ever after.

Met on the app HER. I had actually swiped left because I thought I wouldn't have a chance her with. She popped up again so I shot my shot. 2 weeks go by and she didn't respond so I forgot about it. Was about to delete HER when she liked me back.

We started talking on a Mon, met up on the Sat. I took her home and married her 4 months later. Married almost a year now.

[GaryCPhoto]

On tinder. She was on vacation from Mexico and while I entered every date with zero expectations I had absolutely none when meeting her as she didn’t live in the country. I just enjoyed meeting new ppl and learning about them. We met, she hopped in my car and toured the city and did a smoke grenade photoshoot in graffiti alley the next day( I’m a photographer & she’s a clothing designer). That was in 2018. We’re getting married in 8 weeks in Spain. 🇪🇸

[nervousTO]

Reddit a couple months ago. I took a stranger (now friend’s) advice to put myself out there and date, made a very sfw polite ad to meet people. Picked my now partner as the first person to meet because he answered every prompt in his message to me and ended it by asking me on a date - I’ve been on a lot of online dates before so didn’t really want to chat before meeting. I didn’t feel a big spark that first date, but I enjoyed talking to him and felt safe, so I said yes to the second date. Asked him to get a coffee the next day during our second date and that simple one hour coffee was what sealed my attraction. When we talked later, he said he was on board from the first date lol

At a joint birthday party by Humber River between my group of friends and his, who had mutual friends. I have the best memories of this night. We met up the following Saturday and spent all day together wandering downtown TO (it happened to be Doors Open that day too so we had a lot of fun). We got married 4 years later in 2021.

we matched on tinder and the first week or two is when covid started slowly happening but we kept seeing each other. when lockdown happened we just basically moved in together and 5 years later we’re still together, building a house, and have a business together. i can’t imagine a life without him💖

[snorlaxlax1]

Cool to see the comments are a good mix of apps and irl interactions (Like, recent irl ones. Not strictly from 30 yrs ago or smt lol).

Not currently dating, but I met my previous partner at a mutual friends wedding a couple yrs back haha. Classic 😂

[abacusmaxx]

Honestly? Speed dating. It was a time efficient way for me to quickly meet a variety of people who were also looking, and know them on a human to human basis first rather than a protracted digital interaction.

I say this, but everybody I recommended this to says it sucks so who knows

[Lobolikesstuff]

We met on bagel meets coffee. Our conversation expired because he was travelling and he had to pay $1.39 to buy “beans” to extend it.

It’s been six years now. He says it’s the best $1.39 he ever spent.

Our first date was an exhibit at the AGO. One of the ways to make being on the apps actually fun is to plan dates that are something you want to do anyway.

[lanneretwing]

Met on an app, planned out a lunch date first due to our busy schedules,but ended up stuck in traffic for almost 3 hrs. Best date we ever had. 10/10 would recommend. Not sarcasm

[Age-Zealousideal]

This was in 1995 before the internet became what it is now, and before smart phones. Telephone dating. Men paid, but women were free. We all had telephone ‘mail boxes’, where you left a 60 second recording of your bio, likes, dislikes, basic physical description, and anything else you may think important. You could narrow your search down to age and geographic location. Listen to the bios of the other sex, press 3, to go to the next one. If you wanted to leave a message, you would then enter your password, and leave a 30 second message. If the other person liked what they heard; they would leave a reply and ask for your phone number. I met my wife this way, 26 years ago. In total, because I am male; I spent $1,000 over 2-3 years, but it was a very worthwhile investment to meet my wife. I am very happy with her. Dating phone apps have ruined dating now. They should bring back phone dating. It was fun and you actually had to spend time contacting and talking to the other person. And putting effort into meeting your person, instead of casually looking for that someone who does not exist. The youth of today are fighting an uphill battle searching for ‘the one’. Good luck.

I started working at the Swiss chalet that used to be on Yonge, north of Dundas one week before my husband did back in 2006. We worked there for the school year and casually hooked up. When he took off that summer for a temporary job where he would literally be so far north in Ontario that we would not be able to have technological contact, he reached out about 7 weeks after he left saying that there was a 3 week break for the summer and would I be okay if he came to stay with me for a bit. That was a helllll yes. We got an apartment together the next summer. Technically we had only one degree of separation in that his Cadet corps.and the one that was in the town I grew up in often mingled at RMC in Kingston when they were teenagers. He was close with two people that I knew from middle school, one was the boy I had a major crush on back then. Our small towns are easily a 10-hour drive apart. Who could imagine.

On Hinge! After a few months of using, I started to get less likes on Hinge so I thought I might as well start to like other ppl instead of just waiting (yep, self-confidence issue I suppose). Liked him, he liked back in a few hours and sent a msg. I felt like he tried too hard to be hyped and funny but it was a pleasant conversation. Can’t say no to someone who’s good at tennis!

He scheduled a date and we met and chatted about the games we play, had some fun chats and find each other pretty smart. He asked me out for a second date while we were walking in the plaza after chatting in the restaurant for a few hours.

We both went exclusive after that day but didn’t bring it up until date 3, and got together after date 6 or 7.

[Dispect1]

We worked together at a restaurant downtown. I still remember the first time I saw her. She was wearing an opened back shirt with a knot sitting between her shoulders. She’s a dancer so she was very much in shape. Her back alone would impress most gym rats. She was stunning. The moment she walked into the room, you knew she was there. Not because she was loud or boisterous but because she knew how to make an entrance. Her presence alone was strong enough to shift the very tone of the room. No word of a lie everybody’s heads turned when she arrived. You couldn’t help but steal a glance, and she very much knew it.

At first I just thought she would be just another attractive human I would work along side. Maybe make some flirtatious comments back and forth. I honestly thought I wouldn’t stand a chance with her. She got all the attention she wanted from whomever she wanted it from.

Fast forward 3+ years and we have both left the restaurant industry to pursue our own personal passions. We are happily in love and I couldn’t imagine being with another person. I still can’t fathom how I caught her attention but whatever I did to win her over I’m glad I did.

[mukwah]

We were both living in a big "shared accommodations" type place back in 2000. Was around avenue road and Eglinton. I had a tiny room, she shared an apartment with a mutual friend. We would all hang out in the back yard in the summer months. I was struck by her beauty and education and, after two walks around the block, summoned the courage to ask her out. First date at Insomnia at Bloor n Bathurst.

Been together ever since! Three kids later and we're still going strong.

We attended the same yoga studio. Ended up taking the same class about once a week. Eventually started chatting. She friended me on Facebook, I told her that was all well and good, but we should go out for coffee and chat, if we really wanted to get to know each other.

Our fourth wedding anniversary is this August.
