I was playing a gig, in a band called the Flatulent Brothers. Her friend knew the guitarist, so they came to see us perform our wonderful set, the highlight of which was a punk cover of Careless Whisper. I played the sax solo on my bass. How could she resist?

Reading all these posts is making me feel decidedly seedy and unromantic!
Aside from a brief flirtation with online dating a few years ago, have only ever met girls really in nightclubs! Including both of my significant relationships (sadly last one just ended a few weeks ago).

In 'Heavenly' (a ski resort) in California. He was very confident and I was shy, so it took 11 days of skiing together before I realised 'he's the 'one'.
11 years later and we're still going strong.

The Edward Rutland Free House - Stourbridge High Street . . .
Don't be fooled by the glamorous name, . . . it's a poo hole!
Served it's purpose that night though, . . . but if the other pub up the road had let us in, i'd have probably never met her!

She was engaged to my my best friend.
He's still my best friend.

On a tour of an oil refinery in Sardinia. It was a a work-related visit, and I made sure that I "accidentally" sat next to her on the tour bus, then proceeded to bore her solid about the pipework. It worked though (!) and there's no-one I'd rather be with.

Mutual friends tried to push us together over a period of months, got to know each other and each other's kids got to know each other (we'd both had bad past relationships), we argued and disliked each other until they stopped trying to push us together.
There was foot'n'mouth so MTBing was limited, all I could think of was hills which led me to thinking of her chest and how we got on ok that was 10 years ago, we've been married coming up for 7 years now.Posted 1 year ago # -

First day at college
Walking with a good friend, spotter her walking the other way on the other side of the street & thought she looks hot in a tight red outfit, then walked straight into a lampost & knocked myself out cold!
For a week after, I was not quite sure if she was real or a dream!
Luckly she did not see this at the time & we have been married for 16 years now.

My SO was my dental nurse, she couldn't stand me.
I found out she was separated and hassled for ages to go out for dinner, eventually we did. That was 11 years ago and we're still together.
Most expensive meal I have ever had!!!!Posted 1 year ago # -
Went to my end of school ball without a partner, left with one
Three months later she buggered off to Uni 200 miles away, then she moved 100 miles closer to start her Phd and we moved in together. Phd lasted about 6 months as she hated it but we liked the South Downs more than Dorset so stayed.
Its been 10 years this month, getting married next month. She got into cycling when we met, we've never been on holiday without the bikes. Her bike cost more than mine and she chose a cycling holiday for the honeymoon Posted 1 year ago # -
At work. He had his eye on me for a while, but I hadn't really noticed him. Then I found out he had a VW campervan just when I needed to borrow one. So I emailed him to ask expecting to get a "no". I did get a no, but at least it gave him an excuse to email me and ask me out.... I did end up in the campervan after all.

Met in high school (equivalent of Sixth form here), and both of us dated other people while admiring each other from afar. Finally, after a few sneaky encounters, we began dating each other openly.
Then, after I'd finished my first degree, we got married, and she began paying my way through all of my subsequent academic work.
The wedding was 18 years ago, and I just finished a post-doc this past year.
Lucky we like each other.

She stepped off a path and I run her over (I was on a bike and too young to drive).
She maintains I swerved to hit her. I maintain she threw herself under the wheels.Most likely answer is that I had target fixation as I'd spotted her 20meters earlier and was "watching her style" as she walked away from me
That was 22years ago and I'm still not grown up

Mrs Toast - love the story
Cheers! My brother had similar with his wife, they met at the gym, and she was very chatty, asking him if he was married, flirting for weeks... and he thought she was just being friendly. He eventually twigged when she asked him whether he'd like to go for a drink. No, he didn't twig at that point, he thought she just meant a drink in the gym bar. He twigged when he turned up at the gym bar after a workout and she was there glammed up to the nines. They've been married 7 years.
I think our family just has a gormless gene when it comes to receiving signals from the opposite sex.
