So how did we all....

miss.understood, 27 October, 2010 at 11:16 Posted on Planning 0 26

Meet our OH's???

For me I was working as a taxi driver for a local company before becoming self employed (as a taxi driver). I was told to do a pick up, and it was him! Nearly had a cardiac as he walked towards the car, cursed the operator for sending me for this pick up as i was ? when i saw him. Told myself mentally to behave!!

We had a great chat in the taxi as i took him from his mates back to his. Then i didn't see him again for 2 years!!

I was in a local pub....rather intoxicated i might add, sat next to this lad (seriously my feet were killing me!). Got chatting, randomly gave him my number....thought no more of it.... (sept 08)

Then Boxing day 2008 i was at the club, and this lad came up to me at the bar, put his phone infront of me and said 'Les, is that your number?'

I panicked and said omg what have i done?! lol

Realised it was him from my need for the emergency seat in the pub lol.

End of the night, demanded he got into my taxi, we were both well and truly smashed (but quite proud to say nothing happened)......next day the penny dropped and he came out with 'OMG you're a taxi driver aren't you?'........yeah......'remember picking me up, and we totally hit it off??'

O.....M.....G!!

Been together 2 years now. He pretty much moved in with me at the end of 2008 and now we're getting married in May Smiley laugh *mega happy me*

    Well i was on a girly night out totally had it with men forever!! I was quite drunk walked over to the bar saw this really hot guy who put his hand across so i couldnt get past him, I said "what are doing" he said "i was going to talk to you actually", so my reply was........"well I'm not interested so can you move please" ?

    I walked over to the bar and was "OMG I LOVE HIM!!"

    my sister couldnt understand what was going on in my head so asked him if I could buy him a drink to apologise, he came back-I pretended it was my birthday (?) so he bought me a drink and we stayed there propping up that bar all night!

    I was so drunk at the end I couldnt even see let alone put his number in my phone so again, my sister rescued the situation and did it for me....he text me the next day and we went for a meal and the rest as they say is history!!

    (well kind of-after 6 months he had cold feet and decided he didnt want a relationship so we split up but stayed really good friends, i still loved him so much and missed him like mad but never let on, i told him i was with someone else just so i could stop seeing him so much, he declared undying love and we got back together-now we also have a son and my daughter calls him dad)

    I moved back home after a bad break up to discover that all of my friends had moved away and I had nobody. In a desperate plee to make friends I pushed myself to restart an old hobby. I googled for a local LARP group (Live action role play, its a bit random, look it up if you really care) and went along. I got lost on the way and rang the girl that ran it to get directions and she put me on to a guy who gave me directions, this was him. I can still remember the first second I saw him as he got out of the car, I remember thinking that he was exactly my type. He was just gorgeous. As I was ne he and the girl (My MOH!) really made an effort to include me and stuff and I went to the pub with them and things, we became mates. Months passed, I got into another relationship as I figured a guy as nice as him would not be interested in me and I knew he was getting over a break up.

    Around Christmas time there was a film I really wanted to see but my bloke did not fancy. Ended up going with ny now OH just as mates and that was when I realised there was potentially something there. We went to a couple more films and for coffee just us two but with no intentions, we were just really good friends. In January he invited me (as well as loads of other mates) to his Dad's Birthday party. I was not going to go as it felt odd but things were rough with my bloke and had be for some time (I later found out I was the bit on the side and he was actually living with someone else, to whom he is now married!). I had a fabulous time at the party and at about 2am we were both drunk enough to actually admit how we felt. I ended up staying over (I will point out that nothing happened other than lots of talking) and having breakfast with his family (now that was odd). I left in the afternoon, broke up with my bloke and have not looked back.

    He was there for me when I needed him, he was my friend before my partner and he was made for me. I cant wait to be his wife

    This is a bit of a long meandering one so hold on.

    I moved down to Plymouth about 4 years ago. There was a bar that on Sundays apart from playing amazing music had loads of body poppers and break dancers. I went there quite often and there was a guy there who I thought was gorgeous but would never go and talk to as he was one of the dancers and was just too 'cool' and had too many friends.

    I then got a job on a building site and my Sunday nights stopped. Then bought new flat and didnt have the money to go.

    Fast forward another year and I was on FB when i got winked at on Zoosk (dating site thingy) by this guy. I winked back we got chatting, became 'friends', started texting met up after about a week. Neitehr of us wanted anything serious, I was adamant that i would never date a football lover yet he prob came round about 4 times before he didnt leave again. Moved all his stuff in after about a month. I never was one to hang about.

    We now realise that he was working on the building site i was, yet we never remember seeing each other. He also worked on the block of flats where mine is, to the extent that he actually plastered the whole of my flat! I was also his nephew's teacher. And then only a couple of months ago worked out that he was the guy from the bar all those years ago. We are pretty sure we have also been in the same places at other times aswell.

    All a case of mistaken identity really in my case.....on bookface, he’d ‘poked me’ and me being me sees the pic and think ‘OMG its so and so from school (who coincidently had the same name as OH!) who i have always had a big fat crush on!’ So me pokes back, this ensues for a while with a few flirty messages sent to inboxs. He then adds me as a friend and it dawns on me hes NOT who i thought he was, cue huge embarrassment on my part!

    Think what the hell, and go for a date, where we had fun, but he had a hideous red cardigan on that i didn’t think i could get over so decided there and then i wasn’t going to see him again(shallow i know but id had it with men by that point lol)..i go off on holiday, we keep in contact and when i get home he meets me at mine with flowers and tickets to see the SATC film J

    Took me a year to tell him about the red cardi tho ?.....

    Flowmojo - that's hilarious about the red cardi!!

    We grew up in the same village so I first met him about 18 years ago! I fancied him rotten growing up but he was very cool so I never thought I'd have a chance. I moved out of the village when I was 17 and he remembers seeing me out in town around then and us having a cheeky snog (ashamed to say that I have no recollection of this!)

    Fast forward to about 2 years ago and he adds me as a friend on facebook, got chatting on there but I was with someone else so nothing happened and we didn't meet up. Then I moved to a different town where he also lived, he contacted me again on facebook and suggested we meet up for a beer as I'd recently moved. I thought he was just being friendly but a few more dates and I knew I'd met someone really special. We just kick ourselves that we 'wasted' all those years inbetween x

    I met my OH online through a dating site. I didn't hold out much hope (he was 35 and still lived with his parents!) but he was charming and we started dating. Turns out he has some 'eccentric' tastes, and that he was having trouble finding a woman who would accept this. I alos have an 'odd' side so we fit perfectly! But it took us 6 months of dating to be comfortable enough to confide in each other!

    I was visiting an exhibition at the NEC and Rich was Head of Security there, on the first day of the exhibition we mildly flirted lol, but on the 2nd day he refused me entry into the hall, quite confused I asked him why and he said that he needed my mobile number before going in...? and that he wanted to take me out on a date, awww!

    We started seeing each other regularly and one day when he was visiting me at home I took very suddenly and seriously ill, he took me to hospital and after having 2 major operations within 6 hours of each other to save my life he stayed with me all through it while I was in ICU etc...

    He moved in with me when I came out of hospital and we have been together since - 5 years... and I cant wait to be his wife on 4th August 2012 xx.

    We met 5 years ago through friends. Really fancied each other but he had an on/off GF at the time so we never admitted it to each other. However we spoke every night on the phone for a couple hours and had funny little nicknames for each other. He became my best friend. Then I met my ex, he didn't like me having a close male friend so we cut contact.

    Just over a year later we bumped into each other at the same pub. He was out for his sisters (one of my best friends & bridesmaid) birthday and I was out with my ex and friends. He was wasted (which he seemed to be most of the time towards the end of our relationship) and I decided to go and catch up with Chris. He was single and I was desperate to get out of that relationship. I struggled to leave my ex but a good friend reminded me that I couldn't stay with him to keep him happy, I have to think about my happiness.

    Soo I grew a set of balls and left him. Chris was there for me through it all and would collect me from work so I didn't have to bump into him. A couple months later we became official. A year later we traveled Europe in a Transit van and another year later he proposed (June this year) and now we have found out we are expecting a little one.

    And we lived happily ever after. The end :-) x

    OH added me on Facebook because we had loads of mutual friends and he figured we must know each other somehow. I looked at his page, thought he was hot, saw he had a girlfriend and gave up on the idea.

    About a year and a half later, some mutual friends were meant to play a one-off reunion gig (their band had split up years before) and I went along and met up with some old mates. The band had to cancel because the singer was ill and I didn't want to pay to go and see the other band that was on, I just wanted to catch up, but my mates persuaded me. Good thing they did, as it turns out.

    My now-fiance came over and introduced himself, and offered to buy me a drink. I thought he was lovely but I believed he had a girlfriend so said no, gave him the brush-off somewhat and left without saying goodbye.

    Then I went home and looked on Facebook and saw he was single. Asked around and found out they'd broken up a few months before. Kicked myself. Poked him. He sent me a message. We got together a week later.

    It turned out we were born in the same hospital, had loads of mutual friends and went out to the same places but had never met. He was living with someone I'd known for about ten years and it turned out one of his closest mates was one of my closest friends' teenage crush.

    And I have Facebook to thank for

    - us getting together

    - us nearly not getting together!

    My family and I moved away from our hometown in 2007, there were no people my age in the area and I was desperately lonely. I started going on this webcam chat website called Stickam and just talked to random people who would pop in and out of the room. After a particularly annoying day at work I went online and began to rant about my job (Morrisons checkouts) and then OH came into the room!!! At first I thought he was a girl because at the time he had super long hair and when he started speaking he was so posh I couldn't even make out what he was saying! He kept trying to chip in with how his job at a cinema was annoying too. We exchanged phone numbers and MSN addresses and talked everyday.

    It was totally friendship only, we had both just come out of bad relationships but our friendship grew stronger every day. In the end we were spending 6 hours on the phone everynight, he ended up with a £500 phone bill one month and his phone was cut off! After talking for a while he said his sister lived in York and that we should meet up and I was really reluctant, I'd met someone online before and it didn't go too well but after a while I just thought what the hell, I have nothing to lose. He told me he had feelings for me before we met up and I wasn't sure, I still wasn't sure how I felt about him. When we met at the trainstation in 2007 it was like we were meant to be, we literally never stopped holding hands all day! The next evening we went on a date to the cinema and he asked me out, I said I didn't want to go into a long distance relationship unless he could see a future living with me. He promised me that he would move up here before my 18th birthday in April 2008, he moved up here on the 30th of March 2008 and we have been living together ever since! We are getting married on November 15th, the exact date we started going out 3 years ago!

    I knew my OH'S brother for abut 5 years before i'd met OH, his bro used to go to uni near to where i live and we met in a pub one night and became really good friends, when my friend left uni he moved back to his parents in lincolnshire and started to look for a job. He ended up getting a job in cardiff and moved in with his brother and i was invited to go and stay with them as it had been ages since i had seen my friend.

    Now before going to stay with them i had gone out for the night for my birthday, and my friend called me up to say happy birthday and to say sorry for not being able to come to london to celebrate and during the conversation i ended up having a 3 way chat with his brother ( i think some silly comment about my footie team was made ) so his brother took it upon himself to give me OH's number so i could finish giving him a telling of for the silly comment he made. Well me being very drunk decided to txt him.

    We ended up texting all night and for the following month until i went to see them both. He took the day off to come meet me from the station before my friend finished work and we pretty much got together there and then. After leaving them on the monday morning (i went down on the fri) OH decided that he wanted to come to london so we could be together, so he went into work the next day handed in his notice and moved in with me in london and we have been together ever since.

    That was a little over 2 years ago, and we still get on as amazingly as we did on the first day we met. Except i now get to make the silly jokes about his footie team not doing as well as mine

    I was working in a bar in my 1st year of uni and one of the girls there brought her brother in to meet me because she thought we would get on. I had a fella at the time so when he said hi I walked off and went to staff room for a fag lol.

    Anyway a year later I was out all day drinking and ended up passed out on the floor in halls of residence. Next thing I know this guy is stood over me askng If I am ok. We ended up chatting until 8am, I then had to stick around until 10am because SOMEONE had hidden my shoes in the freezer so I couldn't leave lol.

    We were in a club 2 weeks later and he pointed someone out saying 'that's my sisters fellas brother', I burst out laughing because I knew the guy too and said to him 'Is your sister so and so'. He just looked at me not believing I knew his sister so I had to call her off my phone to prove it lol. Suddenly we clicked that she had tried to set us up the year before. Also turns out we had a nother mutual friend who had also been telling him all about me and that we would be good together haha.

    Fate!

    Very unromantic.. Met him at the 24 hour garage in town in the middle of night.. Used to go up all the time to chat to him then he gave me his number and the rest is history.

    I already knew who he was but he didn't know me. He was in my Sister's year at school and his Dad was my Sister's English Teacher.

    I'd not long been in essex when i went through a bad break up with my then fiance of 7years. I was in two minds whether to stay in essex or go back to the lakes as yet another heart broken story. A girl from work kept going on at me to come out for drinks and eventually one night i caved in. Her then partner was the captain of a sunday football league team and all the players were out. They were all very welcoming, intrigued by a new face i suppose- but one really kept an eye out for me. We hit it off in an instant and spent the whole night chatting and having a laugh.. We swapped numbers and agreed to meet the following friday for dinner in London. I have to admit that after the first night i couldn't really remember what he'd looked like as i was a wee bit tipsy when we met! When i got off the train for our 'date' i was panicking wondering if he was as good looking as i remembered! I got to our meeting place and stood back slightly and rang his mobile. I couldn't stop smiling when i saw him reach for his phone and spin around looking for me- i was definately staying for dinner lol ? we had an absolutely fantastic night have been inseperable since and 3 years on and were still going strong and i couldn't imagine life without him!
