How did you meet you DH/DP?

[MariaTheNun]

I met my partner on Tinder and HATE that we met that way! I was separated and looking for someone to flirt with. He and I chatted via e mail, met for coffee a couple of weeks later, then fell head over heels.
He told me earlier that he'll ask me to marry him once I'm divorced. Feeling happy, content and want to hear other peoples romantic stories.

[Playthegameout]

Worked together in the same shopping mall whilst at uni. Used to make silly excuses to go and visit each other (pretending to need change usually!). Ended up working and living in Japan together as friends. Came home and at the airport he said he'd miss living with me so much, would I consider moving in with him in the UK? I laughed and he said that was a shame because he'd fallen in love with me. 8 years on, married, 9 month old baby, he's still a total romantic.

[ScrambledEggAndToast]

At a running club. We had known each other for about a year already but then DP iMessaged me to ask if I would like to walk to a 10k race together, we chatted loads and it led to a date. The rest is history.

When I was fifteen and he was eighteen he was going out with my best friend's older sister. I didn't know him well (age gap is massive at that age) but knew him well enough to recognise him ten years later when a friend of mine looked across a pub to comment on the drop dead gorgeous man who had just walked in.

We chatted a bit, we had both just moved to the area and were bored and a bit lonely so I suggested we meet up for coffee the next day. We met up at 2 pm. Twelve hours later when we were wandering around Oxford trying to think of new places we could go and talk we realized we had a bit of a spark. Eleven years on, still together.

[Wetthemogwai]

He was my ex partners best friend, he was meant to be revenge sex to hurt ex after he left!

Romantic!

3 years later, very happy together and ttc. Ex is still foaming at the mouth. Couldn't have worked out better!

[ChubbyKitty]

In a nightclub, which is now closed down. I poured Cherry VK all down his white t shirt.

We were in the same year at school but we were both so dorky we didn't really speak to each other anyone

[HemlockStarglimmer]

I went to stay with friends for a few days and we all went to a barbecue another friend was having.

Married that other friend a year later.

[notadoctor]

Ours is fairly romantic - I work in a theatre and he used to be an actor. We met when he was performing in Romeo and Juliet there (he wasn't Romeo though!)

[Massiveaggressive]

He was my barrister defending me on a drugs charge (highly unethical and he should have been struck off)

[AnnaBegins]

In Italy, when I was 13. Finally got together properly 3 years later and the rest is history!

[lecherrs]

Met at a nightclub, when my friends and I played a trick on DH and his friends. Got chatting, and that was that.

Today is our 13th wedding anniversary .

[ClairDeLoon]

We met at infants school and grew up together best of friends. We started seeing each other when we were 15 and have been together almost 10 years now! We used to say when we were younger we'd have been together 15 years when we're 30- a house and a baby later, it's not as far away as we used to think it would be!

[elQuintoConyo]

Laughing at Linerunner ^^

Picture this: Sicily, 1998. Two shy beans turn up to teach at the same language school. Three countries later and one DC. He still makes my Mount Etna explode

[cakecake]

We met at school, both 16, he messaged me over Bebo and we started chatting online and via text messages. We didn't talk in real life for months

[LineRunner]

Mutual friends. He was sent to fix my house.

He fixed me good.

[Gillian1980]

I met DH on plenty if fish 4 years ago. Now very happily married and TTC.

[Notquiteallthereyet]

Went to another country for a language course, met DH on my first day in class - 28 years ago this august.

[honeybeeridiculous]

We went to infant school together but I dated his brother 1st,when we were 15/16
Started dating DH at 17, been together nearly 30 years

[Lovelydiscusfish]

I was dancing to his rendition of a Take That song at a karaoke night!

[Purplehonesty]

At work - I got a temp Uni holiday job and he worked there.
He made me laugh so much that I knew he was the one. 12 years and two kids later we are still giggling in bed when we should be asleep!

[Noneedtoworryatall]

I sent a text message to the wrong number. Fifteen years later....

[IsSpringSprangedYet]

DH owns a nursery and dad wanted some trees for our garden so me and two of my sisters stopped by and ordered some. And I had to drop in again to drool to pay for them and arrange delivery so I could drool some more. He also came into the pub I worked in a couple of times. Two sober people amongst a sea of drunks, putting them all to rights, we were. That was 10 years ago. Married 6 years ago and have 4DC.

I love him so much I could eat him. Sorry for the over spill there

[M00nUnit]

Met at school aged 11, but Facebook brought us together!

We were in the same class and I always liked him but he was one of the cool, popular ones and I was very shy and awkward. We had a snog when we were 18 (just after finishing 6th form - I'd stopped being quite so shy by then!) but didn't see each other again after that as we both moved to different parts of the country.

Fast forward 19 years and we got chatting on Facebook and decided he would come down to see me one weekend. Our messages hadn't been particularly flirty or anything - we were just going to meet up as friends. I had a sofa bed he could sleep on and there was some sight-seeing he wanted to do.

But when we met up we hit it off almost straight away and we ended up spending almost the entire weekend in bed . We were talking about marriage within three weeks and ten months later we eloped (we didn't want a big wedding - we wanted the wedding to be just about the two of us, on a tropical beach). We've now been married just over a year and are so in love it's sickening.

[DramaAlpaca]

Not very exciting really. We met through mutual friends and used to socialise together a lot. I was with someone else at the time, in a relationship that had become quite difficult. I gradually realised I liked being with my now DH much better than I liked being with my partner, and 26 years and three DC later, we are still hanging on in there

[mosaicone]

Many times through mutual friends, both always attached but very much an attraction physically as well as connecting as well.
Many non encounters over the years but just liked rach other and enjoyed chatting at social gatherings but never spoke between times or expected to see each other.
I was all but single due to drunk, ea bf at the time and we were both at a friend's dj night. We hit it off better than ever, I left my bf the next day and we haven't looked back. It's been 2 years and I haven't regretted a second.
