To ask for your stories of how you met your DP/DH?

[dreamsandwished]

I've been single for a while now and have lost all hope of ever having the chance to meet someone. I'm a single mum with 1 child and between work and home life I just don't get out anywhere.

Can anyone reassure me with your stories of meeting your DP/DH? Give me some hope that it can happen!

He joined the place I worked, we became friends then fell in love.

Tinder!

I was going out with his mate!

Tinder. 4 years ago. Got engaged on our 4 anniversary in November, found out I’m pregnant a few weeks later. Still not a clue what compelled me to persevere with the awkward initial chat, but for whatever reason it seemed like a really good idea! I was sunk from the first date, told the girl in my work on the Monday I had met my husband
Not a single mum, but I still think it’s a nice story. Could, can and does happen to anyone so why not you, when the time is right?

Plenty of Fish. Met him after two days of talking to him online and then I moved in with him 5 months later. We are now married with two children.

I was 27 when I met him and I tried online dating because I worked in a mainly all female profession and did shift work so barely had a social life or a chance to meet a man in any other way.

He was the third man I met off POF so it really was third time lucky.

Thank you everyone - already giving me a bit of hope!

At work. He used to look at me a lot, and follow me out to the kitchen, but then wouldn't really talk to me. It was very confusing!

On a drunken night out I asked him directly what he was playing at. That was it then.

We worked for the same (very large) company but in different departments, we met on a training course and didn't speak until the final day when I was going across the road to Greggs and he came with me - very romantic 😂
Been together 8 years, married 2 and currently 19 weeks pregnant with our first ☺️

Work -> good friends -> both separately ended up slitting with our partners (different times, not connected to our friendship) -> together after that!

Sports club. We both joined to meet new people....and we did!

We were in the same guild in World of Warcraft. Hit it off online and then decided to meet up. That was 9 years ago.

We initially worked together, I was newly married and he was about to get married, we became good friends, and when both our marriages fell apart we supported each other and eventually became house mates when my house mate moved out and he was selling their house.

We lived together as mates for about a year, before his mates sat us down and asked why the hell we weren't together. We had the most cringe worthy first date, as we'd been friends for almost 3 years by that point. But 15 years and 2 kids later, we seem to have gotten over that :)

So yes, I married one of my best friends.

Social media, been together nearly 4 years and have two beautiful children together ❤️

match.com 19 yrs ago .....

I met DH at a dance class, latin american and ballroom.

Met DH at a night club in the 70's, he only asked me to dance because his mate fancied my mate. He had only been at this club as couldn't get in the other in town.
Married 40 years in September. My mate and his mate didn't last a week.

I should say that I split up from the mate, and then 3 years later I got together with my now husband. Had never ever looked at him that way, never even considered him, and then one day he kissed me and I still go all wobbly when I think about that kiss - 11 years later

Dating website. 10 years together, 2 married and a 7 month old dd.

Was a single parent with 3DC.

He’s my brothers closest friend Known him for years; always got on well but never been single at the same time, always thought he wouldn’t be interested in me.

Turns out I was wrong I’m really busy with University and the DC and he totally gets it, supports me, DC already knew him due to DBrothers dinner parties etc.

University 21 years ago.
Saw him in a lecture and thought he looked gorgeous (and French...he isn't)
Followed him outside for a smoke and got talking.
Saw him in a student club later that week. Several vodkas and the rest is history.
Now married with a 7 year old (no longer smoke or drink vodka in student clubs :) )

Met at Glastonbury and partied all weekend together, 6 weeks later he moved 100 miles to live with me that was 11 years ago.

I was working behind the bar of a club, he was on the committee and asked me out after i had found myself chatting to him on a few occasions. We've been together for nearly 20 years now! It wasn't the first time we met, incidentally. I had a summer job at his workplace and was taken on a tour on the first day, and was introduced to him along with lots of others. This was 2 years before we started dating and he doesn't remember meeting me then.

Tinder!

First person I ever met from online
Due to get married this year after almost 3 years together

I work in a very female orientated work place with very little chance if meeting men due to long hours so decided to go online and so pleased I did!

He was a guest at my first wedding.....
