Anyone had this? Met your OH in such an embarrassing way you wouldn't ever want to explain to anyone how? I have a date tomorrow with a man I met in just such embarrassing circumstances Blush

PLEASE tell me your username refers to Hive, the club in Edinburgh? If I cast my mind back I can still smell the jägerbombs and shame.

I met DH on POF in 2011 Grin

You performed his vasectomy?

By time you have to tell your children no one will remember what Fortnite is. Computer technology has a very short shelf-life.

Much ado about nothing, OP. If you were that embarrassed I'm not sure you'd start a thread about it.

What is fortnite ?

Yes, its a bit like Embarassing Bodies, where people are so embarassed by their funny nipples (or whatever) they decide another 2 million need to see them.

It was the Glasgow Uni Union one. Similar vibe, very sticky, definite scent Grin

My DH was a one night stand. Something our friends know but I might not tell any future children! I don't think meeting someone online gaming is me yay all if I'm honest.

DP and I met i an embarrassing way. We just say we met through mutual friends.

CrimpBrunette · 31/12/2018 20:25

Abacucat you must share!

Nothing as sleazy as a swingers club. But no, not sharing.

I'm going to say Fortnight is better than dogging 🤔🤔🤔

Me and my husband met on Craigslist!

I was the only female at an army base in Northern Ireland . The sergeant major had to clear the toilets if I needed to go. One soldier had to come out of the shower in his towel as the sgt major shouted ..mag needs a wee! First time I saw him - we were married for 33 years til his untimely death.

Maelstrop · 31/12/2018 21:48

I bollocked a bloke in the pub for being a twat. Turns out he had a gun to his head on his first day at work (not a place guns are normally seen!) His brother was there. We've been married 20 years despite the poor start!

I never understand what people mean by this. A one night stand is just a shag and never see again. If you end up married, it wasn't a ONS?

TornFromTheInside · 31/12/2018 21:49

Moral of the story - Don't have a wee at Mag's you could end up marrying her!
But if you do... she's a keeper ;-)

TornFromTheInside · 31/12/2018 21:50

It's a one night stand if that was your intention.

It evolved into more.

@2019rubberband I meant we met on a night out and he came back to mine. Wasn't interested in anything serious, fully intended to say goodbye. 8 years later he's still here! So maybe failed one night stand would be a better description.

Random duos - does that mean you were randomly partnered with this man to fight...something ... together (ok - I dont really know what Fortnite is). But if that's the gist, then that's actually quite romantic. The two of you battling aliens/zombies/monsters (delete as applicable) side by side.

CrimpBrunette · 02/01/2019 02:08

Blue yes, pretty much, us against the world... And the date went fantastic! I came out of a very abusive relationship 1 year ago to the day, I'd forgotten how amazing the company of a perfect gentleman can be! But with my eyes wide open this time Grin
