Fine, do what you like. Based on your posts it seems like you might do better finding a religious group or organization and looking for love there.
We were both students at an american zen buddhist monastery. An excellent place to meet disciplined, ethical, yet unconventional intellectual introverts, by the way. There were shoals of them. Married 32 years now.
My wife and I met in a political science class while in college. It was summer school and the classes were smaller and longer so there was a break 1/2 way through. We began talking over coffee in the student lounge. That was over 40 years ago, but I think you could still meet someone at an adult education class at a local college.
Met at a local pub. I had gone there with a group of work friends and she was there with a group of her friends. A few people in each group knew each other and the groups kind of merged. I got her a glass of wine and we sat next to the fireplace talking.
Before we knew it several hours had passed, everyone else had gone to other clubs and it was 11:30pm. As it was a weeknight we decided to leave, she lived close and had walked to the pub so I offered her a ride home, she asked me to come inside for a cup of coffee and well…
We had a cup of coffee and taked for another few hours 
I think I got home about 3am, called her a few days later and we talked on the phone for a long time.
Got her pregnant 3 months later, got married 18 months after our first son was born (romantic that I am, I did promise her we would get married before we had our 2nd kid - she was 3 months pregnant when we got hitched) and our four-year anniversary is next week.
At a Dopefest! And still blissfully married. Dopers are da bomb; you should look around here some more.
There have been previous threads, but I’ll go again. My future wife and I met as graduate students at the University of Hawaii. She was an East West Center scholar, meaning she was sponsored by the big federal research facility there, plus she was being funded by the Thai government, already being a civil servant. Her office had sent her there to obtain a second master’s degree in a field related to her work. I had already lived in Thailand for some years before returning to the US and then going to school in Hawaii and intended to return to Thailand some day myself.
I had a student job in the Housing Department of the East West Center, a job that required me to live at the center and which provided me a free room, which is nothing to sneeze at in Hawaii. So I lived in the same building as my future wife, and we attended many of the same classes. The rest is history. And I’ll tell ya: Hawaii is a great place to go courting for a couple of years.
Back in college in the early 80s, she was dating my best friend fairly seriously at the time. Things got pretty awkward for a while, but we’ve been married 26 years and he’s my kids’ favorite ‘uncle’, so it turned out just fine.
Pacific Beach (San Diego) by any chance?
Met him while playing an RPG campaign in college. He was the friend of one of the guys in the campaign, and ended up joining it. Then I started dating his friend right around the time he got up the courage to tell me he liked me. It was a bit of a nerd soap opera.
Long story short, the first guy and I didn’t hit it off romantically very well (though we’re still friends) and then the spouse got up the nerve to tell me he liked me. It was pretty good that he waited, though, because at first I’d found him kind of annoying. It took a few months for him to grow on me. 
Next January is our 25th anniversary, so we must be doing something right.
I met my wife when I wasn’t looking for a mate, but just to meet other Kate Bush fans. I knew there were a few Kate fans out there, but back in the days before easy Internet access, they were difficult to locate, especially in Kansas City. So I put an ad in the local music paper “Kate Bush fan with records, videos, wishes to meet other fans.”
I got a single letter in response. She had no idea who I was, or if I was a man or woman, but she included a phone number. I called and we agreed to meet up at our mutual favorite record store. We met, talked, she came over to watch videos, we hit it off, and we have been together ever since -thirty years now.
We have much more than music in common, of course. We’ve grown so close over the years that we seem to share the same weird sense of humor, same politics, etc. But a shared love of music is a fine basis for a relationship.
Usenet - alt.atheism, but he was crossposting from talk.origins. I knew him by his post content for nearly 10 years before we spoke on the phone, but talking was only about 6 months after we started flirting. We’d been chit chatting as buddies with a whole group of people on ICQ for ages beforehand.
So I can assure you no god brought him to me.
Married 10 years and I moved continents.
We met at work. I was smitten with his good looks and his Irish accent. When he quoted Eddie Izzard at me that was it, I knew he was the one. We’ve been together for five years and are getting married this fall.
Met him on OKCupid in 2006, married almost 4 years.
We knew each other (vaguely) through church. I got invited to a Christmas party by a friend of my sister, and she was there. I set her up by sitting opposite her and starting a stupid party game (this is a spoon/this is a fork) - the two implements go in different directions and the person opposite the starter has to handle messages from both directions as they cross - I find it funny, I think she found it less so.
Anyhow, later in the summer we both helped on a kids program at church, and I found out she was a single mum in the process of getting divorced. In March, I went back to university to start a second degree, and when I walked in to one of my lectures she was there, and the only person in the class I knew, so we sat together, and were soon studying together.
By April we were seeing each other socially as well as at Uni, and I knew I had to make a serious choice about whether we would take things any further. I decided to take the chance, and we started dating. After her divorce finalised, we got engaged, then married just before Christmas, almost 24 years ago. While we have spent the last 9 months apart for family reasons (her in NZ, me in the UK) we will soon be back together, and I (for one) can’t wait.
SFZC.
That reminds me. We really need to have a Dopefest in Toronto again sometime… 
During an intentional period of celibacy ran into a friend of a friend at a bar, he invited me and my friend over for a drink with him and his friend and we just never got over there. Later that night there is a banging on the door. I rush to answer it so as not to wake the roommates and in walks the roommates and the guy from the bar and his friend, passed out, being carried in by one of my roommates.
About 2 weeks later, the two guys show up again and (edited for public viewing). I offered my phone number but he declined saying that if ‘he’d been that route before and if I wanted to see him I could call him instead.’ Four days later, I’ve decided to call him and he called me at work! I picked him up on the way home, we had fun, he went back to his brother’s, we couldn’t stay apart and after two weeks he moved in.
Three months after meeting he left to join the navy. Despite his telling me he loved me and that he wanted to marry me, I sent him off telling him to look me up in four years when he finished his hitch, but that I wouldn’t be waiting.
We wrote and talked on the phone and five months later he dropped in for a week between stations. Neither of us seeing or sleeping with anyone else during our time apart. Then he was taking the bus, 10 hour trip, on weekends to see me. Ten months after meeting we got married.
My family was not happy, he is almost 6 years younger than me. (Didn’t know that when I meet him.)
Now a little over 26 years later, my family loves him!
At my sister’s 16th birthday party, some 31 years ago. When the party was over, I asked my sister “Where have you been hiding her?”. We dated 6 years while she went to college and have been married for 25.
I met my wife when I interviewed her for a job. We ended up dating while we each ran different departments at the company we worked for, but nobody had any clue until they got wedding invitations. Still going strong 20 years later.
I’ve detailed my wife and my relationship a few times in the past, but I’ll sum up:
We met in 7th grade science class. She was new to the district and came the last 2-3 weeks of 7th grade and that was it. I noticed her because she was new, smart and pretty, but other than that, nothing then. Then, she sat next to me in 8th grade English, and I developed a big crush. Partly because we had a lot of common interests (both big into music, both Pittsburgh sports fans living in NE Ohio, etc)…and we rapidly became friends. I tried to move to a romantic relationship in 8th and 9th grade, but she wanted no part of that.
So instead of dating in high school, we instead became incredibly close friends. I drove her to school from the time I got my license until we graduated. We talked on the phone quite often…had lots of activities together. My crushing on her would go in and out over the years, but by the time I was a junior in high school, I just didn’t want to screw up our friendship. We went to schools in different states for college (Her, Ohio State, me Cornell), didn’t see each other near as often of course, but still stayed in touch and got together at holidays when we were both back home.
Then, after we had both graduated college and I was in my Army Officer Basic Course in Virginia, I called her to see if she could put me up for a night when I came to Columbus for a mutual friend’s wedding. She said yes, and then we just began talking, and I invited her to come visit me in Virginia, since I was about to basically have a whole week off and we could do some cool things like to go Williamsburg or something. She said yes, came down, and we both felt sparks…a week later we both spilled the guts to each other about how we felt, and even though I was leaving for Germany in 3 months, we decided to give dating a shot…so I traveled every other weekend or so up to Ohio until I left for Germany…then she came to visit me in Germany at Thanksgiving and Christmas. That second trip we went to Paris and I proposed to her the day before New Years outside the Louvre along the Seine.
We got married the following July and have now been married for 10 years and have two great kids.
