[Closed] Where did you meet your SO?

Naples, Italy.

Depends how you define "meet." We first met face-to-face on a house holiday / [url= http://mono.org/ ]Mono[/url]-meet in the Brecon Beacons.

Police station... yes really and neither of us is/are fuzz.

University halls of residence bar. Manchester

Bookshop. She was behind the counter.

University, she was on the same course as my housemate.

internet FTW 😀

In a sauna, me in Speedos FTW.

In a particually bad club in Stourbridge.

I had a PT at a Book Store and was FT. She was terribly rude to me, but strangley endearing. Lent me Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski.
Ahhhh. 🙂

She turned up with a lesbian friend at a party at my house. I had more luck than the friend 🙂

Hospital. I was the patient, she was (still is, of sorts) a nurse.

Children's summer camp in North Yorkshire. We were both adult leaders I hasten to add.

The Beer House (now The Angel), Rochdale Road, Manchester.
I love that pub.

Dating Direct 😉

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...

That mono thing is really weird.

It's a lot like here, TBH. Go get an account. (-:

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? 😛

Night club, last dance of the night at 1.50am (when night clubs closed at 2am)

Basingstoke ice rink when we were teenagers a LONG time ago.

Various detours and another wife later and here we are 🙂

We went the scenic route but it was worth the wait.

I know of one relationship that has happened due to stw ride meet but I wont out them [it is not the love that dare not speak its name ]

If you're talking about my love for my Nicolai, that doesn't count...

Rachel

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.

In a particually bad club in Stourbridge.

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]

In the Cycle Oregon bus queue.

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.

She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when i met her.

Does anyone actually introduce their partners as their 'significant other?'

"Hi John, meet my significant other, Sarah."

I thought she was from Greece and had a thirst for knowledge

Nope, I just shouted down the stairs " were you working in a cocktail bar when i met you?"

She replied "that much is true"

Does anyone actually introduce their partners as their 'significant other?'

It's catchier than "[wife / husband / boyfriend / girlfriend / shag / fiancee / goat / bike park] (delete where applicable)" if nothing else.

She did some translation work for me. She's young, stunning and surprisingly said yes to a date that evening. And here we are....

I argued with a girl on a web forum, went to see her one day as I was to visit my shag-box lady friend in the same town. Saw her, said hello and promptly fell in love. Still haven't recovered.

Mail ordered from Grip Cycles in January 2008, might need to upgrade her soon.

My wife picked me up at a nurse's party in Newcastle.Twice,I kept falling over.I went to the party with someone else,went home with the wife ,and together ever since.

Met my wife in Colorado. She was at a bar in Breckenridge with her friend and a couple of guys. I went over and mowed another mans lawn. We've been married now for 2 years.

The New Star in Ibiza. We were, as you would expect, pretty out of it at the time...

She's still far and away the person I most enjoy spending time with 14 years later so the drugs must have been alright..
