How did you meet your DH/DP

[TooBlessed]

my DD is sick and my heart is really sore,however one thing always puts me in a good mood,and thats when i think about how i met DH,what can i say?i am a romantic and having parents who have been married for almost 40years and are genuinely in love i can't help myself,,so ladies ,wow me with your stories,good or bad,i need some cheering up,,did you think he was the one?where?how long before he popped the question or before you became partners?

oh my story.Dh and his mom,twin brother were in Southern Africa for a holiday,DH's twin walked into my office one lovely morning to make a booking with me for a shark and whale watching trip,i booked him and he left,the next day he came back,asked me to go and have a drink with him,i refused but we kept chatting for about an hour,it was almost close to closing time,we did our goodbyes and he left.

About 5minutes later he came back, i did not recognise him coz he brought twin brother with him,who is now my DH,the first time i saw DH i thought 'he is beautiful',they are identical twins by the way,anyway he asked again if we would go for a drink and this time i said yes,,the rest as they say is history,,and i am glad i ended up with my DH,,to cut a long story short,i met twin one,who asked me out and i said yes after meeting twin two,who ended up marrying me and bringing me all the way from Africa to Europe,,and i couldn't be happier,,,there is more but i won't bore you,,,

That would be
Not [bludh]

slug thnx for sharing

the same with you absof all lovely and amusing as well..

tooblessed It turned out that we had met before during a shift pub crawl. He was totally blotto and was making a real arse of himself; I remember saying that I'd never go out with a bloke who got that drunk

I have many many stories of the very silly things he's done under the influence, and
blackmail regale him regularly with them

be kind to him -bear,try not to hit a man when he is down:o

met dp at my work-i was serving him his alcohol! Not sure who that says more about to be honest!
he is also a good friend of my ex, which was very awkward for a while but its fine now. been together for 7 and a half yrs and have 3 beautiful dcs.

our first date was to watch the football team that we both support (pars vs hibs 15 feb 2003-i can barely remember what day it is normally, why do i even remember that?!) and we won!! Pretty good day all round!!

Me and partner were next-door neighbours at university and met on the first day of freshers' week. Both in our mid-late twenties, both rather geeky. We were friends within a week, and best friends within a month.

I was seeing someone else at the time (long distance) but I realised that I would do absolutely anything for just one man, and it wasn't the man living two hours away - it was the man I was spending every single day with. And I knew then that I was totally lost to him.

I believe my rather unsubtle attempts at seduction were enhanced (rather than hampered) by the heavy-duty sleeping pills I was on at the time. They were making me so drowsy and unselfconscious that I think I nearly flashed him at one point!

We got together and were effectively living together within four weeks (dorm rooms are quite close together, but that's no reason to spend the night sleeping apart!). Four months later we signed the lease on our flat, and now we're about to spend our first Christmas together. I can't wait.

DH and I met on our first day at police training - you know when you sit there in a room looking at these 16 strangers who you're going to be practically living with for the next few months...... we hit it off as fabulous mates and it went on like this for about 8 weeks, we went on one of our course nights out and the rest is history....... when we told everyone NOBODY was surprised as they were all waiting for it to happen between us... apparently my mum, who had waved us off each Sunday night when we car shared, had been waiting for one of us to realise the chemistry for weeks - she's great, my mum. I got back to my station and my Sergeant told me "training school romance, it'll never last" nearly 9 years later we are married (Jul 2008) with a gorgeous DS.

I was walking along the waterfront on my way to work in late Spring 2005. And I notice this guy walking behind me and quickening his step. He came up beside me and said 'good morning' and started chatting to me! I was sooo taken aback because I thought he was gorgeous and it's not every day that gorgeous men start chatting me up on the street. We walked all the way to the CBD together, talking all the way. He didn't ask for my number when we parted. Which was okay, because I was suspicious and I thought that he must be a real player given that a) he was gorgeous; and b)he randomnly approaches women on the street. I promptly forgot about him.
A week or so later I was walking the same route to work with my friend and there he was, across the street walking our way. I was like, oh my god, there's that guy. And he waved out and crossed the road to join us. Again, he walked me all the way to work and we chatted the whole way. And at the end he asked for my number! The rest is history. Married early this year and one adorable baby daughter.

I met my DH at a millenium party,it was love at first sight really.

It turned out that he was friends with my brother when we were all teenagers, many moons ago, AND our mums were in hospital together having us!! But we din't meet until we were in our 30's

I met him on a rather small and rubbish internet forum when we were 15 :o We've actually discussed having to fabricate our meeting because it's such a rubbish website and we're too embarrassed about it being mentioned at our future wedding.

Anyway, he really liked me for ages, I didn't know. We spoke online every day. I got a boyfriend at around 17 but realised I really did like him. He came to see me at my parents house and nothing happened because he was incredibly geeky and nervous. We sort of got together but then I dumped him via msn and broke his heart. We continued to stay best friends, saw each other a few times and spoke on the phone every day.

He did tell me he was in love with me at one point and I told him the same thing at another point, but there was an odd misunderstanding both times and nothing happened. So we just faffed along knowing that we should really be a couple. Life just carried on. I then had a baby and I think he thought that was really it. He'd blown his chance. But he was wrong! He FINALLY made his move last year. Took me up onto a rooftop in a lovely part of London, told me he was in love with me and kissed me for the first time :o

Lovely, lovely memory.

Sooooo curious as to what the forum was! Was it a really crap band? Or something about painting little model soldiers? :o

me too elephant insert nosy emoticon:o

We met at the freshers' fair the first week of university, he was in his 2nd yr. He has a much clearer recollection than me of our first meeting, he saw me walk across the room and waylaid me at his stall. I can remember thinking chess players tall and strapping? - who knew?! He was charming so I said I would go to the first meeting and as club president he went round and got everyone's contact details so he could legitimately get mine. We then decamped to the students' union and he offered to walk me home as it was dark and there was a serial attacker on the loose, but I said said it wasn't necessary as I lived close by. He was insistent on being chivalrous so I let him walk me to my uni accommodation...all 200 yards! He popped in the next day with a book he thought I'd like to borrow and asked me out. Was 20 yrs ago, still have the book, occasionally beat him at chess.

i'd split from my ex, he'd split from his wife....we had mutual friends and used the same internet forum. Got chatting on MSN into the early hours, really just supporting each other through our respective relationship breakdowns. A couple of months later we went to mutual friends for a weekend (with several other people) and to meet properly for the first time. We went into town to get some shopping in and as we walked out of the car park he put his arm around me. He says to this day he doesn't know why he did it, it just felt like the right thing to do. We went back to MSN chats after that (lived 250 miles apart) and he asked if he could come and visit when i got my own place. Then a couple of nights later he broached the possibility of there being more than just friendship between us. It was one of those heart in mouth moments for both of us, he was paranoid he's read the signals all wrong and I was sure he wouldn't like me that way.
He came to visit me in my new flat and when he arrived on my doorstep at 10pm, having driven 250miles, he said he'd get his sleeping bag from the car. I replied 'you won't need it, come and keep me company in bed' We fell asleep in each others arms that night (no nookie).

3 years later and we're living together and getting married in February.
He is the most sensitive, considerate and thoughful man. My best friend and my lover. I still pinch myself that he is mine

This thread is lovely.

Boring: he was a friend of some friends. Nothing more to it!

queen congratulations on your coming wedding,,nice story there,what a happy ending!
