I've been single for 4 years now and I'm finally feeling ready to meet someone. The problem is my job is very female orientated and I rarely go out 

How did you meet your partner and how old were you?

We “met” in our twenties on an online forum, but didn’t really know each other.

When I got divorced in my thirties, we ended up interacting more, messaging, then calling each other. I realized that I was more interested in talking to him than the guys I was dating in person. Eventually he came over for a visit (different countries), and we started dating. We were married within a few years and I moved to be with him.

Never imagined my life going this way, but I’m so happy that it did.

Flutternotsoshy · 21/10/2018 22:32

I was 22, he was 25. I fell into a pothole in the road (cos I was wearing stupid shoes!) So went to the pub down the road to recover and rest my poor ankle.

Him and his brother were in there, the friend I was with knew them slightly so we joined them. They tried to set me up with his brother.

A few weeks later we bumped into each other in a club. Been together 12 years now. 1 DD

QueenOfMyWorld · 21/10/2018 22:32

Both 32 online
