Definitely on the internet. I've known her for like 10 years, now? Maybe more. Either way, it's ages and ages.

I met my girlfriend through some mutual friends during college!

Also, I know it seems odd to have met a same-sex partner in church, but I definitely met one of my exes in youth group!

I agree, it's very vague - I met one of my partners when she walked through our dorm introducing herself to everyone at the beginning of the school year, and the other one at a weekend retreat for queer students, so I don't have an easy box to check for either of them.

In college at my first ever GSA meeting. It'll be two years in September and we have an adorable little kitten.

Um... I met mine at a queer youth group meet at a gum clinic in Soho, and then followed him back to his house...
At the time I couldn't've ever seen myself getting involved with him, but I really like him now..

I met all my partners and people I fooled around with at school, college, parties, queer groups, and through friends.

Grindr surprisingly enough, and we are happily together, and I couldn't imagine life without him

I met my girlfriend through friends during our freshman year of college. A friend introduced us because her ex-boyfriend was trying to ask me out. Obviously he had no luck and we ended up together instead!

We became good friends through a college feminist club and some other activist-y things we did together, continued on to "BFF" status, and now we're... "BFFs plus a little more," haha.

We both went to the same Fetish bar. we still go together quite often. everyone there is generally some sort of gay, bi, trans, or flexible, or at the very least non-phobic. it's a great atmosphere. (though we keep falling for straight girls :/ )

So many people talk about OKCupid that I feel like I need to get one but I'm just not that into the idea for some reason. I guess if my partner and I split up I might have to do that.

I met my last girlfriend online, and the one before that, in high school.

We met on OK Cupid. I was logging on to delete the account and there was a message in the inbox. It was my current fiance and future wife/life partner. We used to tell people it was mutual friends, but now we are proud.

Technically, at a party when I was visiting someone from out of state. But we kept up online and started dating through that.
