Just that really. Preferably if your partner is a good egg as i'd like to meet one of them, but honestly just curious? Might give me some hope that I won't be forever alone😂

In my back garden! I lived in a shared house and came back one day to a party going on and he was a guest, so didn't have to go far!

at a student Christian group.

(I wasn't going to bother, because it's not very helpful, but decided to offer the counterweight to the fecund)

When we were 17 at the skatepark, 14yrs later, two kids and a wedding we are still together. No longer skateboarding though!

Tinder. It's such a non story but there you go.

In the sauna at the gym, which I thought was risqué until I heard so of the other responses... 😂

  • a bit risqué that should say... not massively 😂

I thought I was edgy with Craigslist Luna 👎

Our Tinder meet was three years ago. It’s like any OLD platform, there are people looking for serious relationships, people looking for ONS and casual hookups and people who are open to whatever comes their way. I found the guys who were looking for casual were really easy to spot and weed out.

Agreed! I am also three years into a Tinder relationship. One of the things I liked about it was that (in general) people were quite up front about what they were looking for. I did get my fingers burnt a few times but I found the one in the end!

My Tinder was June 2016, moved in together in 2017.

Met at work. I was 38 and permanently single. We were friends first. He had a GF, then left work, moved abroad. We kept in touch. He told me he had feelings for me and was gonna finish relationship. Great I thought. He finished relationship then promptly fucked someone else.

Anyhow, I was so upset by that it made us both realise our feelings for each other. Got together a few weeks later and still together now...only a year in tho!

He's a great person and boyfriend.

University reunion (10th anniversary of graduation). Flew back from halfway round the world for it, and met my DW on a friend's sofa. Dated long-distance for a couple of years, then married, and eventually moved back to the UK.
