How old were you when you met your DH/DP?

[MissMollywasDolly]

I'm at that horrible age where most of my peer group are getting married or engaged... fed up of being asked about online dating

17

38. Married ar 39. Pregnant at 40. DS born at 41

We were 11 when we met but didn't get together till we were 18.

Met him at 25. Got together at 27 and married at 31. I remember thinking everyone else was in relationships and it all being a bit crappy, but it happens when it happens. Most of my friends didn’t meet the one until late 20s. Some still haven’t. Some have met them nd have now divorced them! Everyone has a different path to tread.

We were 9

27 now and married

I was 31 when I met him, engaged at 32, married at 33, DS at 34, DD at 37. Went to 7 weddings when I was 29 - felt sure it would never happen for me. Then met my now DH on a blind date and wow that was it!

I was 26 , he was a year younger . Married at 31 and 30 . Kids at 33 /32and 37/36.
27 is a perfect age , you’re old enough to know what you want and not tolerate playing mind games . Honestly if you meet someone you like , ask them out or give them your number .

Married last year at 22. I was 20, he was 26 when met.

21, 21 years ago. I've been with him more than 1/2 my life.

I was 18, he was 19.
Engaged a few months later.
Got a flat together on his 21st birthday.
Married a year later (I was 21, he was 22)
Had our 1st son a year later
2nd son born 2 1/2 years after.

Been married 38 years now.

25 and 39.

I was 21, he was 28. Moved in together after 5 months and was pregnant 2 months later.

That baby is now nearly 2 and we have another on the way. We're settled in a lovely house and Were very happy.

When I stopped looking for a man, one appeared!

I met my DH when I was 21 and he was 23. We've been together 10 years in January and married for 4

Met at 17 but didn’t start going out till we were 19. We got married at 25 and now have 3 kids. We’ve been together 18 years next month.

PS. We also met online

I was 14 he was 17. Lusted after him for a year then started 'going out' when I was 15 and he was 18.

Currently at 21 years, didn't get engaged until 13 years and married at 14 years.

We didn't rush, we went with the flow and didn't put pressure on each other. It will happen for you OP, and with the risk of sounding cliche, when you least expect it.

23 and 34. been together 7 years, engaged but have no date set.

I was 18 and he was 20. We got married at 19 and 21. Been married 9 years .... was bit of a whirlwind romance at uni but seems to have worked out! ( crazy now I look back)

XH, I was a week off my 18th birthday,he was 21.

We were together for twenty years and it was 80% dreadful.

DP, I was 33 when I met him and we got together when I was 38 and he was 53.

We're very, very happy.

There's no rush. Take your time and find someone who's worthy of you.

I was 29, he was 31 and he winked at me on match.com. 10 months after our first date we got married and DD was born 2 months after that. Was all a bit of a whirlwind!

Met 36
Dated 37
Married 38

35 and a half!

Met 19 (worked together). Dated at 22, married at 24, still together.

I was 27 and he was 31. We've been together 3 years today and we've just had our second child!

I completely understand the pressure you feel. I was the same. I would encourage you to enjoy the freedom that comes with singledom, once you are married and have kids you will never have it again!

Work hard, get promotions, study for extra qualifications.

Or travel, or do hobbies specific to your interests. Keep fit. Watch everything you want to on TV. Spend a whole day in bed with a good book.

Decorate your home exactly how you like it. Spend your money exactly how you want to. Or save it. Spend your free time exactly how you want to. Cook what you like, eat when you like.

When you are married it's much harder to do all of the above as you have to compromise. You will have years of that ahead so enjoy what you have now.
