Where did you meet your wife?

Tinder.

At her ex husband's house.

I'm a 20 year old ready to try and find a long term relationship but don't know where to start.

First tip: If you go into a relationship with that attitude, you will almost certainly fail. You're going to care too much, and caring too much gives the other person all of the power. Do things you like to do and it will eventually work out.

Way too soon. Everybody changes a ton from 20-25. If I had married the person I was dating at 20 I would be divorced now.

Ah yes, I remember that night when I first met my wife. I was delivering a pizza to a house whereupon I was invited in. Later I was to find myself with a rare beauty in my drunken arms. I was far too coy to say it aloud, but, looking in that wild beauty's eyes I knew she wanted to tear my heart out and make love to me like a banshee whilst wearing my tie around her head.

In church. If you want a long term stable marriage with a caring wife, I'd say that's by far the best option. If you want a series of dates, short term relationships, marriages/divorces, etc, stick to what the atheists recommend.

The question you should be asking is where I met your wife.

In the chippy.

I had a Steak & Kidney Pudding, Large Chips, Mushy Peas and Curry Sauce if I remember rightly. Delicious.

What's her weight?

In a local running group, of all things.

She was my student in a college class.

She was a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding. Talked her up a bunch that night but didn't get her number until weeks later. Been together ten years now.

We met at our first job out of college at big corporation. I think work is a great place to meet people as long as it's fairly large place at a large city.

In a library.

Through the local runners club. I was President and she was volunteering for a committee.

In all honesty please don't go into the mindset of looking for a long term relationship when you are 20. I've had 4 serious relationships from 20 and on. If I had married the girl at 20 we would be divorced. Since that time I've had 2 broken engagements because as people have noted people change. I met my wife when I wasn't even looking for a relationship and we've been happy ever since.

Match.com. (Seriously.)

Probably the best option, assuming you want to find someone as dumb as you.

Same for me. If you are actually looking for suggestions for "a place to start looking" -- and if running is a serious interest -- then look for people who share your interests. Not a requirement, but it sure helps.

And -- more superficially -- if looks matter (as they usually do, to some extent), you get a good idea of what that person actually looks like, and whether you like those looks. (And the other party gets the same, for you.)

At a bar called the Paradise. Been 28 years now..
