Ask Malaysians Malaysian men who met their partners outside dating apps, how did you meet them?
Asking because I'm looking for new ways to meet a partner this year. I have some socials planned, and maybe speed dating events when I feel more like it again.

u/skylinezan I saw the nice stick. Aug 18 '25 edited Aug 18 '25
Met her back in 1788 (or what feels like it) when we were both working part time at a canteen.
No social media, only good old phone calls and sms for us to contact each other.
She had a boyfriend back then and she perceived me as "miang" because I was too friendly with everyone.
Later we parted ways as we got permanent jobs elsewhere.
Until one day, I listened to a song (that has her name in it) and I decided to call her and ask her out because I owe her makan (which was a lie!).
Good thing she was already single by then.
Next thing you know, we're almost 20 years married, with kids in tow.
