    Over 20 years. We probably met through mutual acquaintances 30ish years ago, but that is lost to the mists of time.

      We’re not old, we’re experienced. I love that I lived a ‘be home by dark’ childhood without a microchip.

    I met him when I was 16, dated him for 6 years, and have been married to him for just about 50 years.

    I met her end of 2020 and we stated dating on the spot while I was on a business trip to South Korea during the pandemic.

    I met her just before May Day in 2009. Two days later we were going steady. Three months after that, engaged. A year after we met I moved in with her and a year after she proposed we were married. Well, church married.

    We were protesting for marriage equality and refused to file a marriage certificate until it was the law of the land; but we had kids before that happened and then we got busy and we didn’t actually get around to that part until the pandemic lockdowns. So ten years after we got married we turned in our marriage license.

    9 years and a bit today, and we got married in January. And it’s not like I wanted us to wait for it, it’s just that I spent the first half of the relationship engaged in military service (they don’t let you get married in the first 5 years where I was). God’s great! 😁

    About 40 years. We met for real when she was in 9th grade and I was in 10th grade. We started dating when she was 15 and I was 16. We got married 32 years ago.

    Edit: Since it looks like we’re the oldest couple in the thread so far: first date was October 5, 1986.
