How did you meet your OH

[happychatty]

Haven't seen one of these threads for a while... so.... how did you meet your OH?

Backpacking around Asia. He was the first person I had heard talk about anything vaguely intelligent for a little while and he looked after me two days later when I got sick, despite just having met. Been together a while now and he's brilliant.

At work, he was 22 and I was 32. Five years later we're expecting a baby and blissfully happy.

He worked in my local tyre fitters and I kept getting flat tyres/problem tyres. I think I went there four times in as many weeks (and I wasn't doing it deliberately!). He offered to teach me how to change my own tyre should the need arise ... how could I refuse?

OLD

OLD too.

Internet. I was a uni student and he lived hours away. We got chatting on a random site (not a dating site) and met a couple of months later. Long distance for a few years. Married 12 years now.

Instagram when we were 16 & 19! Almost 21 & he's 24 now, engaged with a baby boy due July

At work in a factory. That was 25 years ago

Secondary school 20 odd years ago. Went out with each other briefly at 15. Then went our separate ways, moved around, had children etc. Last year, having been looking him up on social media for years, I sent a drunk friend request. We met for coffee and have been together since. So happy its untrue lol x

Blind date nearly 26 years ago. 😁

He lived next door

Got chatting in a pub. Bumped into each other again a few times and one night we went home together. 13 years on and very happy.

OLD, exh at university

OLD, after what felt like a gazillion bad dates for me, I was about to completely give up on the dating scene as I enjoyed being single a lot more the than meeting weird guys I was his first old and we just clicked, married 3 years now with number 2 on the way

P1 (Mental hospital) both patients. 4 years later married, mentally stable with a gorgeous little boy

Best thing that's ever happened to me.

Msn teen chat room age 16 he came in with the username JohnLennon and having never met anyone my age who liked the beatles I got crazy excited. We lived two hours apart but it worked. We are 35 now

These are fascinating! Interesting that there are other experiences other than OLD (although it has its place!)

Through a mutual friend at the pub, almost 16 years ago.

MySpace

MySpace! Now that's a blast from the past!

He was put into the wrong A Level class, which I happened to be in. Thankful for that mistake by a school administrator 😊

OLD.

I'm pleased to see so many OLD replies! There are a lot of people on mumsnet still so reluctant or jaded after a few bad dates but it just shows that it does pay off.

Almost exactly like someone upthread, I was on there for about two years, went on loads of dates, saw a couple of them for repeats. Then all of a sudden up pops this person, seemed worth a look- i was only the second person he met up with on there - and that was that.

Exh at work (25 years ago)

Not sure if it counts as OLD, but I 'met' DH on a hook-up site...guess we both got a bit more than we bargained for
