Do you remember the exact date you first got together with your OH?

Just that really. I remind DH every year we got together on this day how many years ago and he just rolls his eyes now.

Anyone else have the exact date you got together etched in your mind?

Coincidentally DS was born the day before our first date anniversary. I was hoping he'd come on the day itself.

I remember the date when we first ‘got together’ but not when it became official. We’re now about to get married on this date too so we’ll definitely remember it.

HasThisSoddingNameGoneToo · 07/09/2019 11:08

This is a sweet thread! I love these tiny snippets of how everyone met. I know the date I met DH. It’s the same date that we got married, a few years later. 🥰

Yup. The circumstances were memorable. We both know the date (today bu in 1997!).

Yes but tbh only because it was nye

RidgedPerfection · 07/09/2019 11:10

No, not at all. I know the time of year but that's about it.

29 Nov 1975. The ex

bumblingbovine49 · 07/09/2019 11:26

I remember meeting for the first time. It was at a train station in 1999( we were early adopters of online dating Grin) and thinking he was quite cute. Also all the details of.our first date, what we discussed, where we went etc but I have no clue as to the exact date or even month Blush. I am really bad with dates though. I can never remember the year things happened.

eatsleepmoverepeat · 07/09/2019 11:30

I do but I had a lot going on that day and it was the 1st of the month so quite an easy one to remember anyway.

FudgeBrownie2019 · 07/09/2019 11:31

I met DH on 17th December. I've no idea why I remember it, I don't remember any other dates bar birthdays, but that one always sticks.

tinytemper66 · 07/09/2019 11:33

Been an item for 32 years. I know it was Easter 1987 and that is it. Married in 1991 and that is our anniversary.

tinytemper66 · 07/09/2019 11:35

I have also known him since we were 6 or even younger so by that measure it would be 47 years!

ZeldaPrincessOfHyrule · 07/09/2019 11:37

Yes, we remember when we met because it was three days before we got together, and that's our 'big' anniversary. We celebrate when we first decided to be a couple more than we do our wedding anniversary!

Fishcakey · 07/09/2019 11:42

I know the month and I know the date we first had sex (it was my ex husband's birthday and I remember thinking 'up yours') but haven't a clue of the actual day we became a couple so to speak. I can't even remember the date we got engaged Blush

CupCupGoose · 07/09/2019 11:42

One of my DC was born the day before we first got together. So yes, I do remember the date. DH doesn't though.

smaragda · 07/09/2019 11:49

Yep!we met on the 26th of August,and got engaged two weeks later on the 10the sept-17 years ago this year :)

MsRinky · 07/09/2019 11:53

Yup, we got married on the ten year anniversary of it.

LER83 · 07/09/2019 11:54

I remember the date we very first met, and where we were etc, and the date we became a couple (which was also the date we first slept together!) Theres about a year between the two dates as we hung around with the same group of friends. I knew from the very first time we met that we would be together.

Thegracefuloctopus · 07/09/2019 11:58

Yes but only because I was marking the anniversary of a family death and was being cheered up by a friend at the local. She went home and I hung around to finish up and started chatting to dh (we knew each other and he had been doing the leg work to get me to agree to a star for sometime). We had our first kiss after the pub closed. I always remember it. He always rolls his eyes and says it doesn't count!

donutrehomer · 07/09/2019 12:02

Yes, because apart from his awful snoring and slightly crap DIY skills he's the love of my life xx

CakeNinja · 07/09/2019 12:04

Yes, it was Friday 13th many years ago, my dads birthday. I went out, got smashed, hooked up with dp and spent the night there. Got a massive bollocking the next day as 1) hadn’t phoned my mum to tell her I was staying out and 2) hadn’t sent my dad a birthday message. He still brings it up to this day Blush

Zenithbear · 07/09/2019 12:13

Yes I know the exact date as we met at a mutual friends party. He asked me out and we went out a couple of days later.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 07/09/2019 12:16

Yes as our one year "meeting anniversary" was our ds due date! We were fast workers Blush

ThePolishWombat · 07/09/2019 12:18

I remember it was October, but I don’t remember the exact date!

allthingsred · 07/09/2019 12:24

I remember the day we first slept together.
But we didn't 'get' together until about a month (possibly 2) later.
He's the same. Although I do remember the day I knew he was the one (again about 6 weeks after we got together)

Tigger001 · 07/09/2019 12:30

I know the day we actually got together but I dont remember the date we first met, he remembers meeting me before I remember meeting him.

He tells me a story of when we were all at a party, I didnt acknowledge him (but in all fairness I didnt know him) he says he knew then we just had to get together.

As soon as we met properly I just knew he would be the one.
