Well he was just 17, you know what I mean. And the way he looked was way beyond compare. I never dance with another - woo - when I saw him standing there.

I met my love by the gasworks wall.

HandforthParishCouncilClerk · 08/09/2021 06:33

I kissed a girl, and I liked it.

EarringsandLipstick · 08/09/2021 06:40

Love these responses! 😃

Gufo · 08/09/2021 06:40

We were running just as fast as we could, holding onto one another's hand trying to get away into the night, then he put his arms around me and we tumbled to the ground. He said "I think we're alone now".

Met this stuffy, uptight dude who was very prejudiced against me (mainly to do with mad DM and Ds's- we're very low contact now) and slagged me off at a party. Over time I realised I did fancy him after all (it started when I saw his enormous house to be fair) and after some bumps in the road, we got together. Glad I didn't let my pride get in the way of a good love story, especially as my sister married his best mate and that could've been a bit arkward.

I met DH at this huge mad party when i lost a shoe, I nearly didn't go because my horrible DSS wrecked my dress on purpose, but my godmother helped me out by quickly making me a new one.

My husband was living as a reclusive beast, he'd stopped taking his meds and was hallucinating that the clock was talking to him.

I showed him that true love was more than roses, it transformed him and now he lives a normal life medication free.

It's a tale as old as time.

yorkshireteaparty · 08/09/2021 06:51

Her name was Lola and she was a show girl. She wore yellow feathers in her hair and had a dress (cut down to there). So she could dance... merengue and cha cha to be specific. And whilst she tried to be a star, Tony.. he always tended the bar. The worked the crowded floor from 8 til 4. Youth, each other, who could ask for more?!

Oh wait!!!.... yeah Rico, let's not mention him

EmergencyPoncho · 08/09/2021 06:56

He says that he's going to marry me, we can raise a little famileeeeee. My dad's not keen though and doesn't half go on about it.

adjsavedmylife · 08/09/2021 07:09

I was SO SO tired working the diner all day. We’re a single income family atm - DP used to work on the docks but the union’s been on strike. I was crying in the night but he told me just to hold onto what we’ve got. That we had each other.

I was so touched that he could hold it together for me even though he’s had to pawn his guitar, OMG whatta man Halo

We're going back quite a few years decades now, but after David Bowie had gone through his Ziggy days. DH proposed to me on a plane and rescued me from a Vegas wedding to a bit of a creep. DH sang rather badly a love song down the plane's intercom. I got my dream of growing old with him and he still has his fabulous mullety hair. Still can't sing though!

Angrymum22 · 08/09/2021 07:13

The mum seduced me and nearly wrecked everything but I turned up at her daughters wedding and ran off with the bride.

WaterBottle123 · 08/09/2021 07:15

I could have changed my mind and seen my friends instead.

But Something Changed.

Justcallmebebes · 08/09/2021 07:17

I was asleep for 100 years but he somehow managed to hack through a jungle of vines to find me and wake me with a kiss. It wasn't rapey at all and the rest is history

MadameHomais · 08/09/2021 07:18

I've fallen in love. I'm an ordinary woman. I didn't think such violent things could happen to ordinary people.

JumpLeadsForTwo · 08/09/2021 07:26

I met a bit of a ruffian on a transatlantic cruise, and he whisked me off my feet, even taught me how to spit like a man. It wasn't the calmest of voyages, and didn't quite end as I'd hoped, but made me see the light and escape from an arranged marriage!

PricklesTheHedgehog · 08/09/2021 07:40

I was in his arms thinking I belonged there. I figured it made sense building me a fence, building me a home thinking is me wrong there, but I was a fool playing by the rules.

You see dear MN readers, the CF winner takes it all, the loser's standing small, beside the victory, that's my destiny.

Freeloadingtosser · 08/09/2021 07:42

I met a really nice GP at the station, we were both married (bit naughty). We had a few dates, including a go on the boating lake at the local park but didn't end up DTD. He moved to South Africa in the end but I didn't get to say goodbye properly as my mate wouldn't shut up. Luckily my DH was ok about me being a bit distant and we all went back to normal.

66babe · 08/09/2021 07:44

Loving the undercurrent here that has been totally missed by some
All the flowers that you gave me
In the back yard
All died when you went away

lawofdistraction · 08/09/2021 07:54

I was at a party once and this guy walked in, like he was walking on to a yacht. He had a hat on all askew and an apricot coloured scarf. He watched himself dance in the mirror and I really dreamed I would be his partner.

MintyGreenDream · 08/09/2021 07:56

Billy Ray was a preachers son and when his daddy would visit he'd come along.

It pretty much started on that first visit.

JustAnother0ldMan · 08/09/2021 07:58

I was standing on a corner
Near Watford Stadium and
It’s a girl my lord, in a Range Rover Sport
Slowing down to take a look a me.

FlamingGoat · 08/09/2021 08:01

He came from Greece He had a thirst for knowledge. He studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College. That's where I
Caught his eye. He told me that his dad was loaded. I said, in that case I'll have rum and Coca-Cola...
And the rest is history.

Ughmaybenot · 08/09/2021 08:03

Well, I was meant to be marrying the sheriffs son, but I left him at the altar and caught a lift with a man who happened to be passing. Stranger danger and all that but he had an impressive moustache, and seemed nice enough, plus he had a fast car. He also gave me a cute nickname, so he obviously liked me.
Turns out he was a bit of a criminal and was caught up in some sort of smuggling… but he looked so handsome in a cowboy hat, I didn’t care 😍

I love this thread, it’s really made me laugh 😂
