Just off the back of your first words thread, I am intrigued as to where/how you met your OH....... We met at work, worked at the same place for 6 months (not same dept though) and eventually got chatting on someone's leaving do.

    We met in the Teen MSN chat rooms (before they closed them down obviously!) I was 15 and OH was 16, we chatted on MSN for about 3 months, swapped numbers and spoke on the phone for another couple of months before arranging to meet up - my Mum would only let me go if she came along too, just untill she was satisfied he wasn't an axe murderer! lol

    On AOL Dating, in 2007.

    We nearly missed out on meeting each other by a week. We had both had enough of bad luck on AOL Dating and had asked the site to cancel our profiles, without having yet come across each other's profiles. In one last search before switch off, I came across David's profile and suddenly felt drawn to him. I also noticed he lived in the area where i used to work so i knew the area well. His pic looked as if he needed a hug so I thought I'd "wink" at him. He replied, telling me his profile was to be switched off that same week and offering me his email address if I wanted to chat on MSN. I did. We arranged a lunch date at Tiger Tiger in Leeds a couple of weeks later, on 6th November 2007. The rest, as they say, is history...

    We met at school when we were 11, went out a few times when 15. Went our separate ways when we left school!

    Fast forward 6 years and I was out walking the dog when a car drove past and beeped the horn he stopped and didn't even realise it was me (i had changed a lot since school).

    We exchanged numbers and a couple of days later we went out and have been together ever since! ?

    It happens!

    I went out with a guy in my team at work in between my divorce and meeting OH! Even worse, I think now, was the fact that I was 34 and he was 23!!! ? And no, it wasn't a "divorced woman gets a toyboy" thing either. we used to have long chats about politics, society today, books, all sorts. We didn't however get "together" until after he left the department on a secondment and as soon as he told me he fancied me and asked me out, I requested to be moved back to manage my old team (I was only managing his team whilst his manager was on long term sick) so there wouldn't be any conflict of interest!

    HAHAHA damn I was hopping you hadnt seen that lol. Thought i had got away with it! All I can say is that I like to try to stay well grounded and not take my vast wealth and privilege for granted by occasionally visiting social networking sites. That and I find it very useful for keeping track of ones chums when they are off galevanting first class all around the world he he

    We met on a Cruise Ship. I was on a short cruise with my friend. Whilst waiting for a long time with my friend trying to order a drink he took pity on us and got us our drinks. He was on business on board from Australia and I would never in a million years believe I would end up in a relationship with him let alone marrying him as that is a serious long distance between the two of us! But we got there ?

    Mine is funny...At work, worked on the same team and got together at xmas do, managed to keep it secret for a while UNTILL I had been emailing my mate ALL day (long email) all about us getting it on, where the relationship was going, how much I liked him, what dates we had been on etc etc. She then sent me what I thought was a seperate email, asking me to send round an advert for her car she was selling, which I forwarded to the ENTIRE department (OH included) it turned out I had sent the whole days conversation she had just added the attatchment at the top!! Whoooops!!!!! I actually crawled under my desk squealing, I wanted to die from cringing embarrassment. Cue loads of different work mates running into my office "wit wooing", and many smart arse "reply to alls" on the email which went on all day! We had the "serious relationship chat" soon after and here we are 5 years later. We had to move teams though.?

    First "met" on a forum for classic minis, we had mutual friends through that interest and he offered me a lift to one of the shows and the rest is history as they say ?

    We've been to that show every year since, got engaged after 3 years together, a year ago at the show and we're going again on Friday! Will be missing it next year though as we should be on our honeymoon! ?

    We met on a student forum while we were both at uni - we disagreed with each other on there a lot! We actually got together at a big meet-up for that forum, where a whole bunch of people ended up getting very drunk in his uni room. We were long distance for 2 1/2 years as I had to finish uni while he moved to London to work, but moved in together once I graduated.

    My friends still don't know we actually met "on the internet" though.?

    We met on Facebook's "Zoosk" site! We chatted online for two weeks, then a couple of times on the phone before he traveled for three hours to come and meet me when I was on holiday in North Wales! I had to tell my parents that he was a colleague from another branch at work so they weren't worried about me meeting a random stranger! Two weeks after that he traveled 7 hours to come and see me for the weekend, we dated "long distance" for 8 months before making the decision for him to move in with me and we haven't looked back since! OH said I was the best thing to come out of Facebook and he hasn't been on it since! x

    We met at work, I'd been there for approx 8mths on a 1 year contract, and OH started as part of "New Deal" on a 6mth contract in 2002.

    We didn't hit it off, but both our contracts were extended and we became friends in 2003 and started going out in 2004.

    At work, we both used to work at the Sainsbury's cafe and we met in wash up (the room with the giant dishwasher). I was 16 wearing steel toe capped shoes, a net hat and stinking of fried food. Apparently things like that don't put him off! Been together 7 and a half years ?
