I was attending a ballroom dancing competition, not to compete, but to support some friends. During the initial practice time I saw a young lady walk across the floor to join her friends.

I went over and said "Would you care for a quickstep?"

She said yes. We became firm friends, and married in 2000.

We were living in different countries and met on Twitter.
I was trying to figure out how to get a regular expression to work in PHP, since I hardly know PHP. I did some googling and there she was. Stack Overflow and I have been inseparable ever since.
When did HN turn into reddit?
We were playing Pokemon Go and met through looking for a pokemon together. We are all the time together since (which has multiple practical advantages)
