How did you meet your OH

[Ferb]

Just wondered really, I haven't met anyone yet, and having 2 young ones I don't think it is really going to happen for me. I do miss having cuddles on the sofa, slobbing out and just being comfy with someone.

On a ski holiday.

Which meant that I naively assumed he could ski (previously my no.1 criteria in a man). Unfortunately he was excellent at the apres-ski. Not so much with the skiing. I'm pinning my hopes on our son taking after me on the ski front!

I also forgot to check out his postcode to ensure he met my no.2 criteria - i.e. Live within zone-2. Preferably south of the river. Turned out he lived 90 miles north in Leicestershire.

If anything, it's proof that a list of criteria is pointless I suppose!

He worked in a shop, I was a customer..I did wonder why he seemed to hover where I was looking at stuff..but he was incredibly gorgeous lol so I wasn't complaining.. one day he started talking to me, asked for my number and we've been inseparable ever since..been together 4 years now and we made one hell of a beautiful baby together last year (and he's ten years younger than me

Match.com. Was just about to give up after dating a dozen or so very nice but dull chaps and logged on and saw a newbie pop up. Decided to give him a wink ( yes a wink!) and the rest is history. Seven years now, married with one child and a dog. His family still think we met on a night pig in Leeds though

Night out not night pig

On a work-related course, but with other companies. Watched him all week and kissed on the last night. That was ten years ago, and we married five years ago.

Online, but knew of him before that.

I did wonder what a night pig was

We met at school 27 years ago ....

...and I'd been single for a good while with 2 kids before I met him..I had given up hope wasn't even looking but I guess he found me anyways... so don't give up hope op, you never know what's around the corner

Mutual acquaintance 21st birthday party.

I was set up.

Match.com

We lived opposite each other.

Blind date... 15 years later, married 2 kids and still winding each other up

Through the friend of a friend on New Years Eve. Turned out we'd lived across the road from each other as students but this friend had never thought to mention to either house that she knew us. He proposed on NYE 6 years later and we've now been married nearly 16 years.

At a mutual friend's party. It was somewhat engineered on their part although neither of us were interested due to recent breakups but we got chatting and just clicked :)

Uni

Through friends of friends.

BUT Should have 'met' on various occasions over the last ten years but just didn't. If we HAD met on those occasions it wouldn't have been the right time..... Fate, love at first sight, the whole shebang.

In a bar for a mutual friend's birthday party. I'm American and he's Welsh. I spent the night telling people he was English! Now knowing how much the Welsh don't like this, I'm surprised he kept talking to me. Ah well, that was 7 years ago and we're just about to have dc2

My OH is my big brother's best mate and have known him all my life

Drunk in the queue to a club - I felt his bum and 18 years later I'm still feeling it!

At work. We attended a training programme together.

...what sort of a training course was that then?

Met my DH at school, in sixth form, in the common room. That was some 22 years ago (as of this month)!

He's my sister's husband's eldest brother. When sis was going out with BIL (from when she was 17) I invited them along to a pub quiz. She said X was home could he come, I said why not. 6 months later DH and I were engaged...so was sis and BIL, Sis and BIL got married 3 weeks before us. Together 10 years, married 6.
