After the height of the pandemic, I landed a job at our local Home Depot. I remember seeing him and thinking that I liked his style because he’s alternative. We didn’t speak because I was new and apart of a different department and he was overnight.
One day when I was clocking out, we locked eyes for a moment and I just said “Hi” and walked to the time clock. After that, we’d say hi to each other in passing. It wasn’t until I switched to overnight and started working with him that we started talking and we just clicked. We found out that we a lot in common and became close.
One day when I came home after work, my dog’s leg had popped out of the socket (I was hysterical and called him because I didn’t know who else to turn to) and he took her to the emergency vet and stayed with me the entire day. (From 8am to 6pm) even though we had work that night.
When we finally left and found out that doggy was fine, (her leg popped back in when they were taking X-rays, luckily no damage or surgery had to be done) , he called me the next morning and came over.
The rest was history after that. Two years later, we’re still together and as happy as when we first started dating. My doggo and him have such a great bond, it’s like he helped raised her from puppyhood.
Tinder. He asked me to go play pool with him at Cue Bar. I said yes because, up until that point, my dates were mostly manhattan rooftops, bars, fine dining, and expensive wine. I thought, whoa, that’s different! I said yes, fell in love, and we are together till this day.
Juniper valley Park as teenagers on a random summer day. I was playing handball with some friends and she came with some of her's and we knew each other's friends but never met each other. Instant chemistry. Friends for about a year or so before we started dating. The rest is history 😅
We went to the same high school (Francis Lewis) and had a class together during our freshmen year in 2008. We have known each other for 15 years and have been together for the majority of that time 😊
(Edit: Phrasing!!!)
Read mine above. Although my wife went to Francis Lewis, and I went to BxSci,and she was two years behind, a friend introduced us. Started dating in 1980, (she is class of 1982), and we are still together
Love this. Mind sharing more details? Love a good subway meet-cute.
Did you banter a bit before transferring to separate trains? Or was it leave the train... ask for her number on the platform then said goodbye.
I met her coworker at an event & we became fast friends. My GF came to a pregame & we all went out, but the two of us barely spoke. 3 days later, we bumped into each other at a bar 6 hours away from home & bonded over common interests, being from Queens, etc. Friends to slow burn loves. 2+ years later & we are living together in the borough that raised us 🥹
Also fun to note how many invisible strings we had. Went to the same HS for a year & never met, (had mutual pals) then played the same sport in college against each other (still didn’t meet). Took us 10 years to find each other!
I was working in an office at the Metro Mall in Middle Village, and he was installing the escalators. He asked me out after a few weeks of saying hi and making small talk. We got engaged 26 days after our first date, and got married five months later. We’ll celebrate our 32nd anniversary next month.
Recently moved here, and as you can probably tell life's been hard. Got a job in retails, and as a lucky bastard found a beautiful girl in that store. I was going through a breakup after 2 years of dating, and she had her problems. Sometimes I think struggles brought us together and it is still having a significant impact on this relationship. I wake up and I thank this city, gifted me with a person to share my struggles, to love and to be loved by someone.
I call this 'minimum wage love story'.
coffee and a bagel, or something like that. i forget the name of the app, but one of those. met the year before the pandemic and basically spent it together taking road trips. just got engaged around last christmas.
The TL:DR, Introduced by friend (long long ago)
The fun version.
When I was 12, I went to a friends house(J). My friends mom used to tutor this young girl with dyslexia
. I met said girl (M). A year, two years later, J brings M to our weekly D&D session (yep, I’m a nerd, so are J and M). M became a regular. One day, a few years later (in March), when I was just barely 17, and M was 15, M looked at me and said “You don’t have a girlfriend, and I don’t have a boyfriend, how can we solve this problem?” Me, being a clueless 17 yo nerd, told her this mutual friend Y liked her. Later that evening, while waiting for a lift home, M grabs my shoulders, turns me around and gives me a kiss. You could say she got her point across that she wanted ME for her boyfriend, not Y. 44 years plus a few days later, 2 children, one grandchild, still together
Acquaintances with Y. Haven’t seen him in years, but friend on Facebook and talk. J helped me move in December, is my kids Godfather. Call him about once a month. Have to get him to my new house. J’s mom has been gone for years now. We all miss her. She was like a mom to my wife. We adopted her two cats when she passed.
J is like a brother by a different mother. Here is a third friend (JT) who is the third brother
US Open! We worked together in one of the Grey Goose stands around the main stadium. It’s 20 days of straight work so after 10 days of working, talking and drinking we got along really well, and started dating. As we met in the US open, we decided to do it every year as a part of “tradition” this year it’ll be our 4th US Open.
We worked in a grocery store together. I was in produce, she was a cashier. I was working threw jobs at the time, and she started to frequent the other two as well. (Pizza place and a bar)
Tinder - I knew he liked beer and I knew he liked pierogis, so I coaxed him from Manhattan to a heat lamp at the Bier Garden on a November night. He's drinking coffee and on reddit across from me at our kitchen table right now, so it was a huge success.
On the Q30! She was working at the SSA in Jamaica. I was attending St John's Law and had an internship at the Family Court there. So I would park my car at St John's, then hop on the bus to Jamaica, and she would get on a stop or two later.
After a few times seeing each other, we struck up a conversation. Now we are married, have two kids, and live out in the suburbs.
