Through a friend who ‘just saw it’. Our first date was in a tractor, I brought pasties and stayed in the cab for nine hours, until 2am. We are now married 💗

Tinder. I was his first OLD. I was about to give up on dating and get a dog Grin

School. We started dating when I was just turning 16. Though we had a few break-time snogs in the lead up to getting together.

We are 40 now (well I am soon), he’s just turned... and we are married and best friends.

My husband was my boss at work, charming man and I fell for him big time, we have been married 55 years and I still think he is lovely.

I joined a synagogue and became friends with a lovely older lady. She said she had a son, and would I like to meet him? It was DH!

I've nc because a lot of people know this story. I met DH for the first time when I was 17 and doing a summer job in the office of the factory where he worked. I will always remember that first meeting, he had his work equipment in one hand and a fag in the other. He never remembered this and was amazed that I did.

I then moved into a flat at the bottom of the main road adjacent to the factory, with my then boyfriend. I saw DH waiting at the bus stop after his shift regularly.

2 years later I split with the boyfriend and got a job in a local social club. DH was on the committee and we became friendly. He then asked me out for a bet (which he denied strenuously for years) and we were inseparable after that for 20 years until his death. I am still aggrieved he didn't remember our first meeting Grin

Went to church to shut my vicar mother up but went to a 'trendy' one in the nearest city and ended up meeting him, he was awesome. Ended up going back, were friends for years, then something clicked.

8 years later
