Default How did you meet your partner?

I'm curious to know... how did you all meet your partners? Was it a pub/bar, amusement park, scuba diving, you crashed into her/him, they had the wrong number... or whatever?

Spill your interesting stories

I met my first girlfriend crossing the road near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. There's a romantic story I could write a novel about but it was a pretty cool place to meet her. Still amazes me.

in a club . the day after valentines day . a friend of mine liked to play all his cards at once . and sent flowers to 3 differant girls, each one was flattered. he invited them all to a night club on the same night. he invited his mates as well one of them being me. i wasnt in the mood for picking up that night as i had had enough of women and just wanted a beer so i went and stood at the bar, this hot looking blonde with blue eyes taller than me was looking at me . she was one of the girls my mate sent flowers to . my mate was asking which girl he should go for as 3 of them turned up . i told him that the one sitting down talking to here friend was the one for him. he took my advice and dipped out with that girl while i made moves on my now wife hehe.he ended missing all 3 women whilst i got the phone numbers of 2 of them . i didn't even have to send flowers haha. but i only persued my wife.the moral of the story was . i wasnt there to pick up or meet anyone thatr night . like they say when you least expect it.

I met my wife while I was a pest controller doing a job at her house. I fell for her the moment i saw her, so instead of charging her for the job, I asked her if she would cook me a meal. That was 19 years ago. She is still my best mate.

Over the net would you believe

I was added to her msn list by a mate of mine in mid 2003. We started chatting and a few months later we met and hooked up at her friends 16th.

After that we started seeing each other every month or 2 (pritty hard when were on 2 different sides of Sydney, and being 16) but we always talked online. Then when I started driving I got to see her even more and more. Now days I stay at her place 4 or 5 times a week.

Its gone just over 2 and a half years now we are never bored of each other.
