I went on my honeymoon after the war to the Highlands, and touched a big rock. Went back in time and had to marry some braw clansman. Worked out ok but he doesn't always believe me about germs and cars.

I’d gone on holiday and met a really handsome dancer. My dad had to give this dancer’s partner an abortion. Anyway, I had to take the place of the dancer’s partner for a show and had to practice all the moves to be ready on the night. One move we couldn’t get right so we had to practice in the lake. The show was great and I even got the tricky move right and we kissed and then some other stuff happened.

He had me at "d'ye like Pina Colada?"

My car got towed so I had to walk home. Walked into a bar where he was playing piano. Unfortunately he was a twat. Met again at a party a few weeks later and ultimately ended up together but unfortunately he was still a twat, just disguising it well.
We ended up splitting and I got an amazing job while he just manages a shitty bar, but he'll always be the one who got away

I went on a cruise to New York in an unsinkable ship. A lad from ‘below deck’ caught my eye and then painted me in a car (I know, I know, sounds far fetched)

Then the boat sank and there wasn’t room on the raft for him.

(And I’ve nominated for classics)

Isthismylifeniow. Not very romantic you lying on a mattress in a lane when those stars shone for you…

Freeloadingtosser · 08/09/2021 08:37

Attagirrrl there was plenty of room for him and you know it.

JumpLeadsForTwo · 08/09/2021 08:42

Sounds like we were on the same ship @AttaGirrrrl!

Banished to the forest, I disguised myself as a boy and ran into my true love, also unable to go home. It all got very complicated, but in the end, true love prevailed.

Wishineverchangedmyname · 08/09/2021 08:52

Had to go to a new school because I'd moved states, met this boy who was very aloof with me and had a very strange family but we got chatting and it turned out he was all sparkly and shit! Reader, I married him.

JumpLeadsForTwo · 08/09/2021 08:57

@Wishineverchangedmyname I think I read one of your posts before - didn't you have a traumatic delivery with your Dd? Hope all is well now Grin

dieblauenStrumpfhosen · 08/09/2021 09:01

I was living in a very tall home at the time with an extremely long braid, since I wasn't allowed out to seek a hairdresser. Anyway, I met this dude, but there was a barrier to romance because we had to shout for him to hear me. He suggested using my hair as a makeshift rope. We eloped and are now very happy.

MorrisZapp · 08/09/2021 09:05

Sorry to break the musical magic but I had to share this. DPs best friend is 6 foot 4 and built like an outhouse. In his single days, he was on a flight once and ended up somehow shagging the lady in the next seat to him in the airplane toilet.

I still think about it occasionally.

@WWE1245

go.........
Congratulations, you have won most irritating thread of the day! 🏆

I met her in a club down in old Soho.

TL;DR - turned out she was trans.

Wishineverchangedmyname · 08/09/2021 09:09

@JumpLeadsForTwo that's correct, after an awful pregnancy and delivery we've come out of the other side feeling healthy, happy and immortal.

Bipbopboo66 · 08/09/2021 09:15

I was at a disco on the outskirts of San Fransisco and i went Wow!!
He was the greatest dancer.

Hermie12 · 08/09/2021 09:22

I met him in the dark, and he said I lit him up
We made each other feel as though We were enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
he held my hair back when when I was throwing up

takeanotherchillpill · 08/09/2021 09:22

I never thought it would happen
With me and a girl from Clapham
Out on the windy common
That night I ain't forgotten
When she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said: "You are a lady"
"Perhaps" she said: "I may be"...

66babe · 08/09/2021 09:25

Don't you know it's stupid
I keep dancing on my own
I'm in the corner watching you kiss her

Flowerflumps · 08/09/2021 09:38

He serenaded me at school with 'can't take my eyes of you'

My dad’s a minister and we live in this really conservative town where it’s hard to have fun and be a normal teenager. Anyhow a new boy came to our school and wow he was so cute and different. We managed to organise a school prom and it was awesome, I totally fell in love with him while he was teaching me and our friends how to dance.

TheHouseIsOnFire · 08/09/2021 10:01

DH and I were both supposed to be on dates with other people. Mine was so dull I decided to go and do karaoke at a local bar instead. DH was down on his luck and planning to rob the till of said bar. When he heard my beautiful singing he was so entranced he forgot to steal the money. We looked into each other’s eyes and the rest is history.
