What with wedding fever in the air and so much talk about the happy couple it got me thinking, so where did you meet your "other half"? (if unlike me, you have one
)

Local pub. I was flying wingman for a friend who wanted to chat up a friend of the girl who became my SO, he crashed & burned badly and she (my soon to be SO) & I took it from there. Not a great start with her as I had chosen not to go to uni, and when she asked what I was doing (a nursing course) she immediately said "what uni?". This was the days when nursing was a practical hands on course for 3 1/4 years.

That mono thing is really weird.

I met my (now no longer) partner on match.com. Was the first time either of us had used it and we got on really well. In fact, it was a really good way to meet people who are at least thinking the same way you are.
Pity I had to mess it up, really!!
Trying to pluck up the courage to give it another go...

Bookshops and pubs are the places to be then
I had a look on a couple of dating sites once, saw some potentially interesting people but it seems rather expensive to get the proper membership and be able to communicate with people!
And relationships blossomed because of STW?

I met my SO at uni, she was the first girl i saw after my dad had dropped me off, she was/is stunning.
After 5 years I am currently watching her pack all her stuff into the back of her car, she moves out later.
going to be an interesting few months i imagine.

Moved to a new job and rented a converted coach house. SO was a lodger at the big house next door and when I found a place to buy she moved with me.

jesus wept! not the Piccy House?? was that an "eyes met across a crowded room, over the heads of all the children present", or a "sharing a table to hide from the flying glasses behind" romance. or maybe just got glued to the carpet next to each other and started chatting? Unless we're talking the Grief Bar, but i can't believe anything ever happened there aside from fighting.
i miss the latter, in a strange masochistic type way.
me and the SO, together since birth - 30 years (or whatever it is) of bliss. [go on darling, you can click Send Post now]

We didn't meet in a conventional way, she stalked me for a few a months and I had to decide whether to get an injunction or go out with her
She was/is a fit 'un so I chose the latter. 18 years later, 15 of them married we're still very very happy.Posted 1 year ago # -
