Right time and place?

I met my OH in a club in Maidstone.

I thought he was pretty hot, I was a bit drunk, so I kept pulling his hair and running away... ?

Eventually, my friend was standing between him and me outside in the smoking area and said "I've had enough of this, mate, can she touch your hair?!"

We looked at each other, smiled and talked outside all night until 4-5am. He walked me home and kissed me on the doorstep.

He text me the next day and we met again the day after.

The likelyhood of us eventually metting is really high considering we discovered we had SO many mutual friends and had even worked in the buildings next door to one another a few years ago. AND he had even worked on my ex's car...

I like to think people come into our lives for a reason :-)

I met someone right before the summer holidays in my first year of uni and, after a whole summer of emails, arranged to meet up on the first Friday night back for our second year. Imagine my dismay when that night he turned out to be a right tit. The next day I was sad so my friend took me to a house party where another friend of mine suddenly declared that he had liked me for ages (this story is making me look like a bit of a tart but I promise it was definitely like buses - wait ages for one and then 3 turn up at once!). I loved him dearly as a friend but had never seen him that way before; he suggested that we go out some time to see how it went and I said I would think about it.

By this point I was thoroughly confused and decided to spend a few days thinking things over; I was due to go on a society pub crawl on the Wednesday but decided not to go. However on the day one of the other girls from the society begged me to come along just for a little bit; to show willing, I did, and ended up out late in a club somewhere. We bumped into a group of lads we had known from our halls of residence from the first year - one of which was Mr Spoon. Nothing spectacular happened but then the next day he had got hold of my number from a mutual friend and asked me if I fancied a drink some time. And the rest is history.

So if it had worked out with man no 1, or if I had agreed to go out with my friend, things could have been very different. Or if I had stuck to my guns and stayed at home that Wednesday I never would have got talking to Mr Spoon. I don't believe in fate or anything like that but it is funny how different things could have been.

Nothing special with time and place with us really we met at college whilst he was out on a delivery....

But....

i just want to say that my OH wouldnt be here today if it wasnt for the NHS....he had a very bad accident when he was in his 20's...someone broke into his house and beat him with a steel base ball bat and left him for dead.......he was resussitated 4 times on the way to the hospital and his parents were told that if he survived he would have servere brain damage and wouldnt be able to walk or do anything withouth help!.....

Thank fully, he survived and the only thing he's been left with is one deaf ear (which he uses to his advantage!)

What makes me smile though is when he says things like "god knew you were waiting for me so he gave me a chance to be who i am today"

Sooo, we may not have the best time & place story to tell but i know fate brought us together somehow!

Are you serious?!?!?! That's brilliant!!

Thats so sweet. Sad story but with a great outcome

..

I have no romantic tale to tell really. OH and I worked at the same place and he did some work for me during my first week. We really didn't get on and when I had to work with him again a few weeks later, I still thought, I'm not keen on him! It was after a few glasses of wine at a work social before Christmas that I decided I had to at least befriend him if we were going to work together again! I spent the rest of the night chatting away to him and actually thinking 'wow, I really like him'! He was very funny and charming when work topics were not involved! Sticky situation as I was still with my ex but that was clearly close to an end and I guess OH gave me the push I needed. We moved in together 6 months later and had a daughter together last summer. I couldn't ask for a better H2B and father for my little one!

I met Carmen online, we'd been chatting for ages but I was living in Essex still getting over a Divorce, and she was in Hertfordshire - and I didn't think we'd ever meet up so we were really just friends who chatted online or called.

After a few months, we did meet and watched "Love Actually" (yeah, I'm a smoothie! lol), followed by a nice meal.

I visited every week, but only for a few hours for a walk- we were not really a couple until she came to my flat.

The rest... is history!

However, I was starting to wonder where things were going in the early days. I'm very glad I decided to see how things turned out! ?

I was meant to go to university, but didn't get the grades I needed and instead of either re-taking the exams and re-applying for university or going through clearing I decided to get a job 50 miles away. OH started working at the same place about 9 months after me. I wasn't looking for a relationship but we became really good friends and by the end of the year we were together.

I'm another online dating story!! ?

I'd been single for just over a year after splitting with my ex, I had been seeing someone but he messed me around and was quite frankly my rebound!!

I had chatted to a few people on the site and some even gave me their numbers but i'm not like that so giving me a number wouldn't help!! When h2b got in touch with me i mailed back asking questions like you do and he gave me the most thorough reply, he'd answered all the questions i'd asked and sounded *normal*...lol we mailed through the week and then on the 14th feb he left me his number so i gave him mine and waited for him to text me, we then texted most of the night!!

I think i then met him the following tuesday just before i was on my way to work, at first i thought hmmmm not sure but persisted and now as they say the rest is history!!

Had i met him in the street, would have i gone for him?? I think not and thats the beauty of online dating for me ?

What a story! That brought tears to my eyes - I hope they caught the little *** that did that to your OH and put him away for a long time.

Him turning such an awful experience into such sweet quotes about your relationship is lovely, I think you have a good'un there

Unfortuantly not, although he had a witness the police brushed it under the rug as if nothing happened.

Apparently someone thought he was seeing their EX and because they were jealous they followed him home from town and beat him...

When I was about 12 or 13 years old at at secondry school I used to chat to friends after school on MSN messenger. Sometimes people would be invited in to conversations and we would chat a bit.

One day i was chatting away to a friend of mine who was in the same class as me, and he invited one of his friends in to chat, and then my friend left so I was talking to him on my own.

We carried on talking for months on the internet and on the phone, sometimes through the night (running up massive phone bills - one being a huge £1500 for the quarter!)

Eventually we realised that we both went to the same school, and were in the next door classes. I had never spoken to him at school though (Massive school of 3000 pupils, so this is very easy)

One day he cycled the few miles to the village where I was living and I met him, said hello, he went home, and we haven't stopped talking since. We have been living together since we were 19, got a cat, and hopefully will live happily ever after!

I don't think it is sad I think it is blummin useful ! I don't want to stand around bars at my age waiting to get " picked up " ! Everytime I went to a bar without a ring on my finger I got some chancer giving it some ! One time a guy gave me his number while he was out with his mates celebrating the birth of his first child ! NASTY ! I think it is sensible to try and meet a like minded person who has the same goals ! Good on you and many congratulations x

OH and I went for testing for a job on the same day so were in the same group. I didnt look twice at him. I got the job and didnt see him for months so assumed he didnt get the job. Turns out he was on holiday so started later. I never really spoke to him then he disappeared again for months I assumed he had been fired but he'd broken his foot at football.

Anyway, we worked together for about a year and never spoke. Our department was having a Christmas boat party (I had that day off) and the day before I went out with my team. I got so mashed and was throwing up all night and felt rough all the next day. A girl I worked with phoned me and said you coming to the boat party I said no as I felt so ill. She kept phoning and telling me to come. I went got mashed again and started speaking to OH. We exchanged numbers and on my way home he texted me to say "hope you got home ok" I thought that was so sweet.

I think its fate that I went to the boat party as even though we worked together we had never spoken to each other and didnt have anything in common (or so I thought) so dont think we would have spoken.

We met at uni, so if either of us had chosen a different uni or got different A-Level results we might never have met. I'm from Yorkshire and he is from London so I doubt our paths would ever have crossed. We happened to be put in the same halls. One night I was walking back from a night out with my housemates and passed his block. He was hanging out of his kitchen window waiting for his kebab to arrive, which pulled up just as we passed his block. He shouted down to us to bring his kebab up to him, so we did and we got talking. Nothing happened straight away as I was seeing someone and he was in the middle of a bad breakup. A couple of days later we both started work at the student union nightclub (although neither of us knew each other had signed up!) so we spent a lot of time walking to and from work together.

I think we would have met at uni if it hadnt been for us walking past his block that night as we both worked at the union, but if we hadnt both gone to the same uni there is no way we'd have met.

Me and OH used to work together

I hated him at first, thought he was arrogant and he never looked twice at me

I had a boyfriend at the time, who then cheated on me so on a night out for my now OH's leaving do I got drunk and was told by him that I was all over him. We stayed in touch texting for a few weeks, I broke up with my boyfriend, went round to oh's and never left

We have been together now 7 years and had 2 kids. People we worked with still cant believe we got together, they would never have put us two togwther

I am another online success story! I met my OH on match too, but also knew him IRL before I sent him a hello email. We had seen each other loads in our local post office, I was flogging off old student uni books and he sells online. So we spent ages in that blimmin boiling hot post office but OH is verrrry shy so hardly said two words to me! I was always seeing guys on and off but after ages being single joined match for a special offer trial. As I cancelled it after no luck my OH popped up as like a last ditch 'please stay here's some more men' so I recognised him and emailed a hello. He was very quick to ask me out and apparently had been checking me out for months but never knew how to figure out if I was single! Bless him... turns out later on we had loads of other coincidences too and other ways we could have met so it does feel like 'it was meant to be'
