How you met
How We Met at University
We first met at [university name], in an English Theory class with only five other people. Despite the university's small size, we had never crossed paths before. I first assumed that [partner] was a British exchange student, but there was no evidence to support that conclusion (and they didn't even have an accent!)! After some flirtatious banter over the coffee machine, we started talking and the rest is history.
How We Met Online
[Partner] and I met the modern way: by swiping right on Tinder. Our first date was a bit of a disaster—it started pouring while we were eating dinner outside, and we had to wait over an hour for a train. But our second date went much better and we've been together ever since.
How We Met Through Friends
[Partner] and I have [name of mutual friend] to thank for our relationship. We were at a party that we both wanted to leave, so we headed to a nearby bar and bonded over our shared dislike of the party and love of lychee martinis and old-school R'n'B. After that, we backpacked through India together and became roommates for five years.
How We Met at Work
We first met at work in 2015. We were co-workers first, then friends. Then, at a work happy hour, [partner] had one too many spicy margaritas and I walked them home. Armed with some liquid courage, [partner] expressed their feelings and we went on our first official date the following week.
How We Met Through Sport
I met [partner] through our shared love of [sport]. We were on the same [sports team] and quickly became close friends. We've since shared many adventures, including [name some adventures]. I love [partner]'s sense of humour and their ability to always make me laugh, no matter the situation.
