How did you meet your partner?

[pisces7268]

Hi everyone.

Sorry if there's been a recent post on this, I'm just wondering how did you meet your partner? Love hearing these stories and a bit of inspiration for us singles

Uni, but didn't get together until long after. We'd stayed friends though friends that got drunk and shagged.

We met 3 years ago on plenty of fish 😁
He was consistent for weeks of dating and then asked me one morning to be his girlfriend.
After years of hopeless dating I was swept off my feet.
It's been hard as we are such different people but we have moulded into two souls
And I. Couldn't be happier!

Online dating, signed up in Dec, went on first (and only) date in Jan. Engaged 4 months later. Been married 4 years!

I was mid 30’s amd had been long term singleton. Anything is possible!

In a strip club I was working at 11 years ago

School.

In a pub, I was working. He was in the band....
Kind of cliche but eyes met across a crowded room, he bought me a beer.
Now we're married with too many kids

Very old fashioned - after work drinks with 2 friends, the male felt out numbered and called his 'mate' who called by the pub and here we are 25 years later!!

We were on the same team on a BBC quiz show.

On the way to a Young Socialist meeting in September 1967.
Still together over 50 years later

At a bar the good old fashioned way. We worked in the same city (expats) and were invited for after work drinks by our work colleagues (who were dating each other). We got to talking over cheap wine and became friends and then started dating about a month later. There’s a considerable age difference between us (I’m older) and though we were living in the same place at the time, our home countries were an 11 hour flight apart. A decade on and two dc later, we couldn’t be happier. Definitely not the circumstances I assumed I’d meet my husband in, in fact, I took that overseas job after a bad relationship ended and I was fed up with my life and wanted to just run away from everything, so you really never know!

I was an acquaintance of his and we were friends on FB.

I went shopping in Tesco one Saturday and he was in the checkout next to me, it wasnt love it first sight but he looked good, gave him a wave and off I went. I had an overwhelming feeling later that day to messsge him saying how nice it was to see him etc and here we are nearly 4 years later.

Oh I've just never known love for a man like it. Xx

Op you will meet your future spouse when you least expect it xxx

I was bored of being single and told all my friends that I was open to being set up with their eligible friends. One took me up on it and set up a blind date. We were engaged a year later, married six years now. I love him more than anything.

Oh and he was buying kettle chips, ben n jerrys phish food and sweet n salted popcorn...which are my saturday night staples...deffo meant to be x

Twitter.

H1: 18, new to uni, he was on my corridor, and my course. We spent a lot of time together in the 1st year and got together at the beginning of the 2nd. Separated after 17 years together.

H2: he was my boss, I'd worked for him for about 10 years, got on with him at work and hadn't had a single thought in that direction. Wed been spending more time together, were both now single and suddenly, bam. I'd have done almost anything for him, luckily all he wanted of me was that I was happy. He died after 6 years together.

I've been single since, although I went on a date this week. OLD.

Tinder. Was a bit awks as I'd been on a couple of dates with his friend in the previous fortnight but DP told him to get lost and here we are. He ticks all the boxes 🧡

Met husband on meetic. I was on it for 13 days. Married ten years this October. Six months pregnant.

Thanks for your replies everyone!

Met my most recent ex at the gym, thought 'here's someone that looks after himself/has his life together' turns out he smokes week every single day and wanted to spend almost every other day with his high school mates (smoking) and just no ambition whatsoever, such a shame as I really liked him but if there's one thing I've learnt about guys it's that they will only change when they want to.
