How did you meet? If you mention you're in a relationship it's always the first question. And they usually say it like this "Soooooo how did you guys meet?" I'm just glad I have a good story, and not met online. Guys will ask sometimes but not as often. The easy answer would be just to say well it's just the first question that comes to mind but then how come guys don't ask this every time but every girl has asked me this right away so why do women need to know this? Will they judge the relationship based off this one question? I can't ever remember being asked that question, but perhaps I was.
However, I think I've just come up with the perfect answer.
"When I saw her photograph in the mail order catalogue, I knew she was the one."

Harmless elf Small talk takes many forms and if you have mentioned the relationship, it's a follow up on that conversational opening.
for the record, I 've never heard this question being asked and if I did, it sounds quite reasonable to me !

I've been asked this question three times in the past week alone which is why I made this thread. it is a reasonable question and the fact is I actually like the question because I have a good answer to it. I think how you meet is more important to women, they want a cute story. |

just say, 'well, she was the only one, of the many women locked up in my basement, that put the lotion on its skin when asked'

Even if you are joking I think this is actually true. I work with girls and they gossip like crazy, it's a stereotype that's true. |

saying "every woman" is problematic.

saying "every woman" is problematic. In my life every one has asked me maybe it's different in yours, but I can only go by my life. |

I wouldn't have the answer. I don't ask the question and I haven't experienced women asking it more than men. |

Whenever I get asked the question "how did you meet?" I always whisper in response "rehab", especially if its to a family member of hers who I've never met before.

saying "every woman" is problematic. For who? "every" …. Seriously doubt that EVERY woman actually been heard to ask the question … which the Original Poster has now backed away from and has deleted the Original Post!  |

That still doesn't answer my question tho. Unless you're a simpleton you would realize he didn't literally mean "every" so I repeat, who is it problematic for? Pedantic people perhaps? White knights? Other uptight people who like to whine about "helpless" women being grouped together? I'm seriously curious who you think that harmless question is causing problems for? |

general curiosity I would say, similar to when u ask what a person does or what movies they like - you show interest in the person and/or you genuinly like to learn things from other peoples lives.
I think more than wanting to hear a “cute” story one would enjoy an unusual / entertaining story. Putting lotion on its skin included.
Also I would like to say that times have changed - its no longger weird/odd when people meet on line. Since Everybody is on line every day, its more likely they “meet” someone there.
I wouldnt be embarrased to say I met someone on line, not in 2018 certainly, when on line is the primary source for... well almost everything.

poelzig I posted my reply to the question in my original answer. As for your apparent difficulty in figuring out what is problematic … can't help you there !

Not sure I've ever been asked that specific question, but when I'm asked the question "Why did you move to St. Louis from NYC" (my accent gives it away on occasion), I usually answer "Guess".
I get answers of "Your job" or "relatives?".
No one ever guesses "A woman?", so naturally when I answer "a woman", I explain how we met.
