They never "didn't" know each other. They were both born and raised in the same small community and were actually distant relatives by marriage (think something along the lines of cousin-in-laws once removed).

My parents grew up living on the same street as each other, about 10 houses away. My mom's older brother was my father's best friend since childhood.

...I'm not sure, but I think they grew up in relatively the same neighborhood in NYC and had mutual friends....

My mom made her best friend trip my dad at the roller skating rink.

My parents met at the roller rink too. My mom lived in the town and my dad visited relatives there every summer.
My mom's best friend wasn't as subtle as your mom's best friend: she just skated up to my dad and told him my mom thought he was good looking.

My mom was a college friend of my dad's sister (my aunt). My aunt thought my mom would be a good fix up for my dad and invited my mom home one weekend.

My dad was a bus driver on the bus my mom took to work.

College. My mom tutored my dad in Spanish. He still failed but they certainly had a happy ending!

 

[Planogirl]

At a party in Holland when my father was stationed in Germany while in the Air Force and my mother was just out with friends.

 

[mrsv98]

My dad was a bag boy at the National and my mom was a counter girl at Woolworths. Dad used to go get a slice of pie and a glass of milk on his break

 

[hereyago]

At a bar my df was playing music at.

My mom is from Canada and my dad is from Australia. They were both traveling with friends and met in an elevator in South Africa. They were engaged 11 days later and just celebrated 43 years of marriage.

Yes. Basically, every time we are walking/driving/whatever around our alma mater's campus, my parents point out the, still existing, apartment block where they met at a party. Both had come with other friends. My mother, in fact, came with her then fiance's friends (he was away and had asked them to make sure she had a good time while he was gone). As the party was winding down, my mother, father, and one other guy were the only sober people in the house. My mom had my dad walk her home, because he was the taller of the two sober guys.

WWII. My dad was a handsome young sailor whose Navy ship had just put into port and my mom was the belle of the USO. They both liked to dance and the rest is history.

 

[georgina]

Mine met after WWII, but relatives of my dad knew relatives of my mom and they had her write to him when he was stationed overseas during the war.

 

[E&Cmom]

My mom was from Spain but went to England to work. My dad was from Trinidad and went there for University. My mom was working in a hospital and my dad was teaching/ tutoring my mom and a few of her friends from work English.
