How did you meet your OH?

I’m not long out of an unsatisfying long-term relationship and feeling a bit down and hopeless today. I’m not looking to jump into anything just yet, but I do feel that I’ll be ready before too long because my last relationship was so lacking that I may as well have been single for the past 5 years.

I never meet new people these days so I’m feeling pretty nervous, would love to hear some stories of how others met their partners and husbands!

He was a neighbour, 5 doors down. We became friends, then close friends, then one day we walked towards each other and just kissed, and that’s it we’ve been together ever since.

Went on a random night out 5 years ago and bumped into an elderly old friend I hadn’t seen for 20 odd year’s. My now husband is his friend.

I guess most people meet online now though and my relationship before this was started online x

In the beer garden at our village pub. We were the only ones dancing to the band and when I saw him singing the words perfectly to Foo Fighters - Everlong….I thought, “that’s the man for me!” And he is 😁 (most of the time)

Corny but work.

We both worked in different offices and met at an away day.

Elderly - I’m not sure where that came from 😂😂.. ‘An old’

Met my DH at uni when I joined the same sports club he was part of. We did different courses and were in different years so were unlikely to have met outside of this club. I found out later that he called dibs on me as soon as he saw me. 🙄😂 I felt there was something special about him when I saw him. He asked me out a couple of times before we finally got together. We’ve been together 10 years, married 4.5 and have two DDs.

He was a (peripheral) friend of my sister's. I went to a pub with her - nearly didn't go as I was in a bad mood - and he came over to say hello to her and very quickly moved on to chatting to me! We found we had really similar tastes in music so it went from there. Married 18 years.

In the pub, he was a friend of a friend. Together 35 years now.

Bar.

But I am informed it's always online now. I need to be able to smell someone.

Online

Online.
He lived a 5 min walk from me and yet had never seen him🤣

In the pub 🍻

Dating app. He loves the other side of town and had to walk new my house every day on his way to work.

Lives not loves *

In a bar one Saturday night. . Apparently I swapped my half for his pint.. We kissed pretty much straight away!
First date the next Wednesday and been together over 10 years now. Married nearly 8 with 1 dc.

Tinder, swiped right when I meant to swipe left and the rest became history.

Online. We've been together for 6 years, married for 3 😁

He was my manager.

Mine was a delivery driver at my work. I wasn't really interested but a meddling coworker gave him my number. Been together over 20 years now 😍

He was a Friend of a friend.
She I nvited us both to the pub thinking we'd be a good match. She was right, 19 years together now.

At a sports club

He is a friend of my best friends husband, but strangely our paths never crossed in years until we were both single. We met at friends party and talked and talked for hours and at our 3rd incidental meet up (within the large friend group), we were the last ones left in the pub, he walked me home and the rest is history.

At work.

At college. I was totally oblivious, even when he joined me and another friend to go shoe shopping... 29 years later.

My good friend met a guy through work, she arranged a night out with his friends and hers. I got chatting to one of his friends and swapped numbers. Being together 15 years now.
