At the pub. He was a wingman and I was a wingwoman and neither of us really wanted to be there. I hadn't even washed my hair! 13 years later still happy as clams.

We were set up on a date by a lovely mutual friend who used to work with me and now works with him. 18 months and counting, and we are very very happy.

I'm surprised so many say OLD.

It is absolute hell on earth

sunshineandshowers21 · 20/02/2020 20:14

at a roller disco when we were 14. i was standing outside and he asked me for a swig of my cider 😂 a few days later he took me on a date to mcdonald’s and bought me a bar of soap from the body shop. 13 years and (almost) 4 kids later we’re still together, and go to the roller disco (adult session now and no cider) every anniversary.

firstimemamma · 20/02/2020 20:17

OLD. He was my second date (first was a disaster!). Engaged to be married now Grin

AvocadoAdvocate · 20/02/2020 20:17

I was working as an estate agent and he came into the branch. Got chatting (obvious attraction) and he invited me out to lunch. Married 33 years, two adult children and we run a business together now.

My friend and I went out on a Saturday night to a bar. We were approached by two guys (Andy A and Andy B) and they talked to one each. I had Andy B and my friend had Andy A. We chatted for about 30 mins when I realised that Andy A was going to be my husband and told him there and then! So, my friend (kindly😂) switched who we were talking with! I went home with Andy A that night and my friend was a bridesmaid! We always joke that I stole Andy A but in a months time, I will be a bridesmaid at her wedding.

heidbuttsupper · 20/02/2020 20:29

I married my boss Grin late DH and I worked together for a number of years before finally getting together, to the amazement of everyone we knew. Got married within the year and had only 2 years together as a married couple before I lost him. I miss him everyday

HazelBite · 20/02/2020 20:32

At a club, I was being persued by a bloke who I wasn't interested in and was annoying me, I saw him proping up the bar, thought he looked nice and asked him if I could pretend to be with him and would he put his arm round me.
We have been married 42 years.

isseywith4vampirecats · 20/02/2020 20:33

OLD after getting fed up (a few shitty dates a few decent dates) and a bit jaded of waiting for men to message me I was trawling the site one night saw his profile and for once I messaged him first, 6 years later still together so there are some decent ones on OLD
