What's your meet-cute? (Aka meeting your significant other)

[NoEffingWay]

Dp and I met at work, he was in charge of a shift I was working overtime on, and I spent too much time thinking about how I really fancied him and was far too distracted for my own good to concentrate on looking after the patients properly .

We had known each other for years, but he had left where i was working and we hadn't seen each other for years. I always loved him from afar but finally got together some 15 years later.

Meet-cute? MEET-CUTE??? 🤮

I can't. I just can't

WTF is a meet-cute?!

I want to believe that's a typo for something less cringy..

It's a reference to the film 'The Holiday ' isn't it? And the elderly Hollywood star in it?

What is this witchery? Meet-cute? Wtf?

Is meet-cute a strange autocorrect for something?

You lot are all so joyless!!

Sorry for the vomit-inducing phrase. I am embarrassed at my phrase choice and will hang my head shamefully

🤣🤣

Apparently I'm now so old I don't know what this phrase 'meet cute' even means?

It doesn't even make grammatical sense.

No, it is a real thing in the film industry

Yep!

I got with mine in the pub, while drunk.

I'll play the game although really, meet-cute??.

I was 16 and it was the day of my final GCSE exam, as was traditional we celebrated by going to the pub and getting hammered.

He was the drummer in a friends rock band. 21 years later we've been married 15 years and have a 6 yr old.

I think it's only a meet cute if it's like in the holiday where it's serendipity

I recognised the phrase, but it's not really used in real life scenarios. I'll play anyway.

We have overlapping social circles, were at several of the same events over the past few years, but only noticed each other when we were in the same tiny Facebook group, formed ostensibly to moan about dating woes. We started flirting and never stopped.

He was my student when I was a secondary school History teacher. Obviously I looked at him as my student, and barely remembered who he was... when 15 years later he found me on Twitter and messaged me asking advice on an aspect of my subject area for a film he was making. We ended up meeting for coffee and.. now we are married and have a little girl!

Met on a train 30 years ago got back together in the pandemic 😷

I was on my way to a night out, done up and tottering around in ridiculous heels when I got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and was trying to figure out how to change it when a van with like 50 lights on it pulled up behind me, the lights start flashing and then a man jumped out and pulled the jack out of my open boot and proceeded to change it with hardly a word. While I stood around awkwardly. He got back up and I offered him money and he said I could buy him a pizza instead.
I never did make that night out but we've been together 8 years now and have a few kids 😆

Oh and OP as a film buff I knew what meet-cute meant! Mark Kermode has a whole documentary about it on BBC iPlayer.

@WarwickWoman what's it called please? I would be interested in watching it, cheers

Lost my virginity to him 30 years ago past September when I was 15 and he was 14. My "best friend" stole him from me about two weeks later when I went on holiday for a fortnight. She gave him the worst two years of his life and he's still traumatised.
Last September almost 30 years to the day, he got in touch with a S'appenin x text and we have been inseparable ever since. Although we are now 44 and 45 years old, both have been married and 3 children between us, I have never been more in love or more loved than I am now.

At a Young Socialist meeting in 1968.
We're now very Old Socialists, married for 46 years with kids and grandkids.
Thank Goodness I've never heard that phrase before. not envy.
