So, my friend and her partner have just celebrated their 6th year together. She was on a tube, dropped her DiscWorld book and he picked it up, they got speaking about Discworld. That's how they met.
So, I'm curious to hear what are your how you met you partner/ an ex stories

Euuugh. The word "lover" creeps me out. It always makes me think of my aunt. She traumatised me when I was 12 by leaning over her husband's chair and saying, in a husky voice, "Hello, lover." Gross gross gross. Maybe you had to be there to fully appreciate the horror of that particular memory, but trust me. Bleugh.
Anyway. I think most people know the basics of how I met moop.  We met on here, pretty much. There was also a lot of IRC, Skype, and I-sketch involved.

I met an ex purely by chance. I was living in shared accommodation at Uni and this new chap moved in. He'd met some girl who he'd invited round with a view to going out with her. She asked if she could bring her housemate along and he agreed (on the basis it was better than being blown out, I expect!)
So I answered the door and was utterly captivated with this girl's housemate. So when I was asked if I wouldn't mind making up the numbers, I casually jumped at the chance  It all went really well and we ended up going out for a few months. Until she dumped me. Oh well.And my housemate got blown out!

Sues and I worked together. I was dating someone else when we met, but we got together after that ended. It's not exactly a grand story!
Previously: Friend of a friend, met in a pub. Met in a pub, she had cool hair, we talked, she took me back to her place! Long term friends who eventually became intimate for about six months, then a few more times over the years (we're still friends) Long term friends who were intimate once (we're also still friends) Met at a circus convention, she was very pretty and came on to me heavily. I've only seen her once since then! -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

My current I met at work. We'd worked together for 10 years before we got together, and it was only because they were closing the site we were working at that anything happened!

Thinking about it, the internet has had a big impact on the number of relationships and my sex life in general. One ex from uni was a random meeting through a website, she turned out to be a (young) lecturer, not one of mine, but only because I chose one module over another. I've had a customer in my current job handing me her phone number, she turned out to be 12 years older, but a lot of fun...
 Currently, I get lots of free coffee from a very pretty blonde in an Italian deli near where I work, she invited me to go see the jazz on the Pantiles (it's a place, google it if you wanna), but we missed each other apparently. >_< -------------------- He's a freak of nature, but we love him so.

I think I am the kind of man who gets jumped on...but I like it.
I don't recall ever taking any action to initiate anything after a chance meeting, such as at a party or a pub. On the other hand I can think of many times where I have awkwardly tried to approach someone and get shot down horribly. One girl text me out of the blue a year after an engagement party I attended. I spoke to her twice that night, very briefly, and to this day have no idea how she tracked my number down. At the party, I was also jumped on by a very chavvy girl disguised as a goth. The stalker was a predator red hair Sloane girl. She still occasionally messages me, despite my number and address having changed numerous times. -------------------- @>-'--,--Cath and gothictheysay are my E-Teapotettes.@>-'--,--

I was stalked for 6 months by my chap in various clubs, he wore me down. This was 14 years ago now
We have had some big bumps along the way and I daresay that there will be more, but we've managed to come through so far. SPS, I also read it as panties, but I know you of old so I didn't think it was my eyes playing tricks :-P --------------------   |

 If my woman were a fire... Group: Established Members Posts: 3,328 Joined: 14-November 04 From: hole-in-the-ground, Texas Member No.: 1,473 Gender: Female |
My first boyfriend I met through school, we had the same English class and ended up friends. It went from there.
The current love interest has a slightly more interesting story. The boyfriend mentioned above dumped me at the same time as the current love's girlfriend. My ex and his ex ended up going out with each other, so we started chatting through myspace since we figured we were in the same boat and should meet each other. We ended up really liking each other and...it went from there. -------------------- Her dignity shone so bright like a light on a hill and she burned for me, no other man came near her flame.

This language we call "English" is so complicated it can get lost in translation over a distance of 40 miles. Or sometimes less. So it's of little surprise that you, out there in the bit of Canada that doesn't speak English as a first language, you didn't understand. So here is Leo's translation module: Getting blown out = not getting as far as the first date Now technically she showed up, his "date", for this "first date", but I'd not call it a date. She turned up for the night out and because he said he'd pay for her drinks. She didn't even like him all that much. He was pretty gutted, but after seeing her around a few times since then (she and my by then girlfriend were sharing a house), I came to the conclusion he'd had a lucky escape; she was one of those girls who knew she was good looking and used it to her advantage. Not a very nice person, frankly. -------------------- The author of this post is entirely fictional and is intended for entertainment purposes only.
