How did you meet your partner

[Deleted User] · 16/07/10 - 15:50

And how old were you.

I'm just trying to reassure myself im not a lost cause as all my friends and family met "the one" before they were 22!

cartree · 16/07/10 - 15:58

At work. I was 19 when we first met, but we didn't get together until about a year and a half later (I always liked her but I kinda thought she was off limits, what with her being 6 years older and engaged and probably out of my league)

[Deleted User] · 16/07/10 - 16:03

We knew of each other at school. I went out with his pal for 13 years. We broke up, I got together with my husband. A year after we started going out we got engaged, waited 2½ years before we got married (I was 28 when we got married) and we've now been married 13 years.

On line via a forum for a tv show!!

We met last March after both being on match.com Most people think internet dating is sad but i was single for just over a year and thought i'd try it. I never thought i'd end up meeting someone and being as happy as I am now. I was 22 and he was 27.

Don't give up, I have had several G/Fs in my life, but I didn't meet MY "one" until I was 53, we have been together for 4 years now,
How did we meet? on an internet forum similar to this one!! we started of with just 'banter' this led to 'forum flirting' we found a way to exchange email addresses, eventually met up, and have been living together for almost 2 years,

sensoria · 16/07/10 - 16:08

Thought I would get in first.

Joking met her years ago at a rugby match, hate each other now.

kiviraat · 16/07/10 - 16:21

I met my OH at secondary school when we were 12, started going out when we were 15 and we're still together at 25

Actually "she was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene"

Studmuffin · 16/07/10 - 16:23

At work. I was 26 and he was 23 and I knew within a week he was "the one". We've been together for 14 years now and married for 12.

MidnightFalcon · 16/07/10 - 16:23

She was the hot 31 year old out for a new year drink. I was the "cute" 26 year old barman that she took home to bring in the new year with a "bang".

15 years later we're still (very) happily married.

OP you have loads of time.

Azagoth · 16/07/10 - 16:24

On the firing range.

[Deleted User] · 16/07/10 - 16:25

Going to sound cheesey but...

Prom.

We were in the same school, same years, different social crowds for five years and had barely exchanged more than 10 words in that time. I fancied him, he thought i was 'fit', but it didn't amount to anything till prom. He tried to dance with me (terrible dancer) and then plucked up the courage to ask for my number.

6 and a half years later im as happy as ever

I was 15, he was 16. Now 21 and he's 22. (you've missed the boat!!!

)

and she/he ended up as the target for your affections?

ha-ha bleurgh! not you, me

i'm sure you can more than one "the one" so don't worry about it!

[Deleted User] · 16/07/10 - 16:29

In a club, i was 28 he was a week off his 23rd birthday, i took him back to mine and he never went home again, we've been married 17 years.

[Deleted User] · 16/07/10 - 16:31

We met at our university Summer formal. I was 19, he was 18. Now 6 years later we're getting married next April.

[Deleted User] · 16/07/10 - 16:37

I should be jealous but its nice there is so many people happy with their choice of partner out there

stirlingguy1 · 16/07/10 - 16:40

How do you kow they're the "one" though! Ive been in some long term relationships before (Im 29) and thought they were the one but didnt work out. The VAST majority of my friends and peers (mostly males) are single, let alone married.

I do get jealous of people who were aged 12 when they met, married at 18 etc etc....but then I think, goodness, yep Ive shagged around and had some fun in my 20s and am glad I did that! I wonder whether those who married young have a slight envy for those who were able to "have fun" in their 20s and 30s.

At least she didn't recoil his advances.

Or run off like a shot
