They met on Tinder. It's amazing to me actually how often I hear that statement these days. Tinder, and dating apps like it, are probably the number one way people are meeting and starting real relationships these days. Robert and Kate are one of those couples. It only took a couple days of being "matched" that Robert had convinced Kate to go do a hike with him. This hike was in a "very popular place" down in the Phoenix area and so Kate felt safe.
Read MoreThey met in high school. They didn't go to the same school but they were on the same track team - or something like that. I asked them what they remembered about their first impression of each other, and for Jesse, it was simple "she's pretty". This is similar to the first thought I had of my wife, so I can relate to that. Anyway, Nicole wasn't too far off, thinking Jesse was "cute". The thing is, they would immediately start flirting. At the time, neither one was in a relationship and Jesse would start hitting on Nicole by telling her jokes. He figured, as long as she was laughing, things were going well.
Read MoreBella and Katie met about 5 years ago because they both swiped right. What I mean by that, is that they met on Tinder.

Read MoreThey first met because of friends. A way of meeting people that is extraordinarily rare these days. Either way, these two met and were part of the same friend group. They would hang out with a bunch of their other friends maybe two or three times a month. They were friends as friends in groups are. Spending a lot of time together but not necessarily super close.
Read MoreThey met in law school. Both Andy and Margeaux went to Gonzaga, but Andy was one year ahead of him. The first couple years of their friendship it was more acquaintance level. Margeaux remembers really liking Andy's sense of humor, although Andy's first impression of Margeaux was how beautiful she is. They would be friends, but nothing would really progress - after all, Margeaux was dating someone else at the time.
Read MoreIn short they met because they went to Police Academy together. Both Max and Brittany are State Police Troopers. But really the story is so much more than that. A month or so before they were to begin their training, their instructor added all the people that would be in the class to one big private facebook group. Really, it's through this that Max and Brittany would first interact and start talking. One thing led to another and Max would drive up to the Coeur d'Alene area to meet Brittany and get to know her better.
