A nightclub, mid-eighties! I wasn’t technically old enough to be there.

On a blind date 37 years ago arranged by friends..

RosesAndHellebores · 30/11/2022 00:14

At a ball. We were introduced and a thought entered my head "I shall marry you". Nearly 35 years ago. We have barely been apart since our 2nd date.

I love him still a little more each day.

In lockdown, he approached me online as I run a voluntary organisation. He wanted help for his workmate. Once workmate issue was sorted, we got chatting. All civil and professional for a long time. I met him once lockdown was over, and then it wasn't so professional and civil.

Tinder. Was only on it for 3 days, and met my now husband, 3 months after moving to the Netherlands

At work, 5 years ago.

I'd always had a rule about not getting involved with anyone at work until then too!

At a mutual friend's gig in a local pub. We were both talking to the friend's then-partner, I'd ordered a bunch of Jägerbombs in my drunken wisdom and had a spare one so I gave it to my now DH.

We spoke all night and then after the gig our friend hinted madly about us both being single and apparently I made the first move. Blush He walked me home, I fell over (I have a habit of doing that even when sober tbf) and he picked me up and patched up my injuries. Tbh I think I knew he was the one when he did that on that first night.

We've been together ever since. Over 9 years together and married for over 4 of those now. Still annoyingly happy together. Grin

Online... message board in the old days Grin

OLD, think it was Match. Turned out after lots of coy dates, she actually lived within eyeline of my house across the street.

Last chance saloon (divorce, separated, singles club) are these even around anymore?
