Tell me your stories of how did your OH woo you?

Or how you woo'd your OH

Spent a year harassing me at work to go on a date with him. Kept saying no. Caved and agreed to meet as friends one day (he says was a date, I disagree!). Best thing I ever did, don't know why he persisted after so long but married now so he must have known something I didn't!

I told him to get in the toilets and take his pants off. And he did!

I fell in the sea and he told me I was absolutely beautiful my eyeliner had run, my hair was wet and I was wearing his board shorts so naturally we hopped into bed. It was fabulous... and now here we are

Outing but oh well.

@alwayshiding I thought I was reading about me and My DH until got to the 17 years bit! Exactly the same for us except we've just celebrated 5 years

I had just met him. He literally walked into the room, picked me up and walked off with me over his shoulder. He set me down , we kissed, and I asked if he wanted to get old and fat and ugly with me.
We have been together 23 years, married for 20 as of September

Met at Cafe Nero as part of a group for NaNoWriMo, he wrote some (very much welcome) erotica. It was apparently love at first sight for him, but took me a couple weeks to realise my feelings. He told me that he'd left Cafe Nero that evening to go home and.. take care of some business wank before joining us at a pub a few months after getting together, I just laughed and rolled my eyes at him.

Moved in together less than a year after that, and now almost 7 years later we're still together and engaged.

We briefly met at a charity do, where a mutual friend introduced us (aka tried to set us up). Another friend unaware we had been introduced tried to introduce us again only for DH to get arsey and say we had already been introduced (I later found out his ex was there with her new partner and he was in a foul mood because of that). I treated him to my cold, hard stare and proceeded to pretend that he didn't exist.

The next day the first friend who introduced us came over to mine, asking what I thought of dh, I replied that he was rude and arrogant. My friend said that was totally out of character and texted him asking what on earth he was playing at. He replied asking why she was trying to set him up with someone who already had a boyfriend. She replied asking what made him think that, to which he replied that I was obviously with the man who I was sat with. Said man was my DDad, I was furious and demanded that she give me his number so I could pull him up on it! Mortified, I texted him asking why on earth he would think that I was with my much older Dad who I happened to be the image of.

He replied by asking me out, we met the next day for a drink in a beer garden just after lunch. After an hour we realised we were finishing each other's sentences and before we knew it was 7 pm, so he took me to a lovely Italian restaurant for dinner. We left at 10 pm and he drove me home, we had our first kiss in his car and then he came in to say hello to my parents (who he had met before at the fundraiser- my Dad loved him, mostly because of the mix up at first, but they are still great friends now) he had a cuppa before heading home, when he kissed me goodnight my knees went weak and I knew he was something special. My Mum actually said after he left 'you think that is the man you are going to marry, don't you?' I said yes and I/ she was right, it was like he was the one piece of the jigsaw puzzle that I had been missing my whole life! He texted me as soon as he got home and asked if he could see me the next day, I agreed. He has seen or spoken to me every single day since.

We are definitely soulmates, it wasn't easy though, there were so many obstacles trying to tear us apart. Thankfully love conquered all and here we are fifteen years later, coming up for 14 years married. We now have two beautiful, amazing children and we are so happy and completely in love still.

I'm not sure you can call it wooing. We were sixth form students and he used to bring me cake and compilation cds. Something a bit shitty happened one day to me at college and I was sat on the edge of a desk crying when he came over and said "Oh [name]" and hugged me. It was how he said it/looked at me. Add in a few drunken house parties and nights out and that was it. Told my Mum when she picked me up from his that I physically missed him after 15 minutes and he was the man I'd marry. 17 then, 30 odd now and I was right.

After the romance of meeting at the same parties and getting off with each other drunk every few weeks, he finally invited me over and cooked for me. He’s a chef and has cooked for me ever since if he wants to do something romantic .

He was a tinder blind date, we'd spent about two weeks chatting via text and he had asked me once or twice if I'd fancy accompanying him for a weekend down the coast, eventually I caved and agreed. So we first met with him showing up at my house to whisk me away for the weekend, he came with a bottle of wine for me to enjoy during the drive (3 hour drive) and we just chatted the entire time.

We spent the weekend drinking and fishing, and I didn't realise we were staying with his Dad and Stepmum and his little brothers, luckily it has a granny flat so we had privacy, but it was great. I realised he didn't even know my surname when he bought us fishing licences for the weekend and put his surname down against my name (I've still kept these as a keepsake) and I just thought 'Yeah I like the sound of sharing your name'.

He was a perfect gentleman the entire weekend, we slept in the same bed with no funny business, and once we got back from the weekend away he virtually moved in with me, since that date we've spent a total of two nights away from each other and I remember laying in bed with him after about 3 nights together and said 'You know, I think I could love you'.

We got married about 6 months after that first date, we're celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary in a few months and we've got two wonderful DC.
