This thread has made me cry (in a good way!) I really really really hope I'll be able to post on a thread like this one day- but at the minute it seems like I'll be single forevermore!

Cezella - never give up hope. I always imagined I would settle down young, but it didn't happen. I met DH later than I would have ideally liked, but he was worth waiting for. We actually agree that if we'd met younger, it might not have worked, so things do happen for a reason

he makes me feel safe, he looks after me and spoils me,he is an awesome dad,he has big muscles and he looked/stuck by me when i was severely depressed after only knowing me for a few months!

Well, the moment I saw him I thought 'I'm going to marry him!' even though I'd never clapped eyes on him before! Then I got to know him and we did! What do I love about him - he is my constant, he works bloody hard for very little reward, he's a great cook, he's a brilliant dad...going this makes me realise I should tell him this stuff more often!

We met online. It wasn't dating or anything, this was before all that, about 11 years ago. My sister and I were trolling a chat room and I got into an exchange with him. It was verbal sparring to start with, but we quickly developed some in jokes and found out more about each other. Within a few days we were speaking on the phone a couple of times a day. A month later we met and despite millions of reasons to walk away from each other, we couldn't.

I fell in love with his humour, his directness, his sensitivity and wisdom. Then I met him and his shoulders and cute grin sealed the deal Wink

Things that would be uncouth to discuss :)

But then I got to know him and he's very clever and good at fixing things. He appreciates effort made for him and he's chatty. He is reliable.

Bzoo that's similar to my story!

I met my oh when I was 15, he used to work in tesco and had a girlfriend but that didn't stop me chatting to him! I used to walk part of the way home with him when he finished work if I happened to be around at that time. I moved away from the area and a year or so later so did he, as he didn't come from that area and neither did I. I didn't know his surname and he didn't have the correct spelling of my first name, being an uber cool 15 year old and wanted my name to be cooler and more unique.

A few years later he managed to find my online blog, that I only posted on maybe 5 times and got bored, that was linked to a myspace or something account that I never worked out how to use but had used other spelling of my name and he popped up on msn messenger! At the time I assumed he knew my full correct name and didn't realise it has taken him so long to find me until recently.

We kept in touch over the years, chatting over few months. Very pleased to see that he had gone back to college and change careers like he spoke about all those years ago.

One night we were both on msn and I had been through a bit of an ordeal at the time and was child free. He said, it's a shame I hadn't spoke to him the day before as he could have come over (we had said once or twice about meeting but it had never sounded serious just polite) as he had a couple days off work. He then checked the distance and said he could come and cheer me up within 2 hours. So 2 hours later he turned up with wine and kept coming back weekly and now we live together and are having a baby.

He lost 4 stone in between first meeting him and now and I love his stretch marks because it reminds me of how he has changed from the cute guy who worked in tesco all those years ago! Iyswim!?

We met in the office when he was doing some work for my boss. I took one look at him and had negative thoughts, he looked like a smug git ;) but I noticed him.

We ended up having some kind of work related email contact and got on. Then it moved onto dates, I though why not. From there I decided he was a nice kind person. As I got to know him I realised that I loved him and the trust and friendship grew,

Then I moved in and shortly found out I had an unplanned pregnancy. We both behaved like nice, kind adults. Got married and had more children. We've been grumpy with each other on many occasions but we've always been kind and loving to each other.
